I am a BIG fan of college football! I love cheering on my Ohio State Buckeyes as well as
my Utah teams (I am fairly neutral when it comes to the in-state rivalries 🙂 When we sit
down on Saturdays to watch our favorite teams, it is mandatory to have some snack-y type
food to munch on while we cheer on our favorites.
A few weeks back my husband’s work had a tailgating potluck during their lunch hour, and
one of the gals brought this dip. My husband immediately called me afterward and told be
to buy the ingredients to make this again. I guess he liked it 😉 It was a great way to use up
some of our bountiful crop of jalapenos we got out of our garden this year!
Jalapeno Popper Dip
6-8 slices of bacon, diced and cooked crispy
2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
1 c. mayonnaise
4-6 jalapenos, chopped and deseeded.
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 c. of mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 c. diced green onions
Topping:
1 c. crushed crackers (like Ritz crackers)
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
12 stick of butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients (except topping ingredients) into a medium bowl. Stir well.
Transfer to an oven-proof dish . The size of the dish depends on how thick the dip is.
I used a round dish about 9-inches across. Obviously, the bigger the dish, the cooking
time will go down.
Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle all over the top of the dip.
Bake the dip until bubbly (for mine it took about 40-45 minutes. If you have a larger dish,
start checking after about 20 minutes).

I LOVE going to pick apples and make apple cider! I have been trying to find some yummy recipes
to make with my new apples coming in these next few weeks. This was my first apple recipe of the
season. It turned out super yummy! The cake is a spin-off of this Snickers Salad, and makes a
perfect end to a yummy meal.
Apple Snickers Cake
1/3 cup applesauce
1/3 cup plain yogurt (Chobani)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups peeled and diced apples
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 cup chopped Snickers bars, divided
1 cup milk
1 box Jello instant vanilla pudding (3.4 oz.)
1 Cool Whip (8 oz.)
In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, yogurt, eggs, vanilla, and sugars. Beat until
creamy. Stir in the diced apples. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Slowly
add to the apple mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in 1 cup of chopped Snickers by hand.
Pour the apple batter into a 9×13 pan that has been sprayed with non stick spray. Bake the cake
at 350* for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Cool completely.
Whisk together the milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Fold in the Cool Whip gently. Spoon
on top of the cooled cake and spread out. Place in refrigerator for about on hour to thicken.
Serve with extra candy bar pieces. Makes 16 pieces.
