Texas Hold 'Ems

My name is Jayme and I have yet another new addiction....Pinterest.....

I got this recipe off of there and it was AH-MAZING! I paired this up with brisket and sausages on the grill and fresh guacamole and fresh salsa for our New Year's Eve dinner. SO good. ....so...so good!

I don't know what to really call these so I'm going to call them Texas Hold 'Ems :)

Jayme's Texas Hold 'Ems

1 package of chicken breast tenderloins
1 package of bacon (cut in 1/2)
3 oz Cream Cheese
Jalapeno (I used jarred because I could eat them with a spoon from the jar)

  • Flatten your tenderloins between 2 pieces of wax paper and a mallet
  • Cut in 1/2
  • Spread your cream cheese on the chicken tenderloin
    (really this is up to your taste preference on the amount)
  • Place 1-2 jalapeno slices
  • Roll the chicken up and then take 1 of your 1/2 slices of bacon and wrap your chicken concoction.
  • Secure with a toothpick
  • Repeat

Ready for the grill

We experimented...cast iron vs. foil....cast iron did a MUCH better job!

wa-la!

the full spread

These were absolutely fantastic and I 100% recommend them hitting your table very soon :)

Goals for 2020

So after thinking through this for a while, I've decided to bring this back into my life.  I love to write, I love to express myself and share recipes.  SO...this blog may not always look pretty...it might get messy, because that's life, and I'm too old to pretend it's not.   Goals for 2020: To continue to search for what feeds my soul and not harms it. I'm going to keep up with my health goals and make it another year of weight maintenance.  Walking starts again.  Not about needing to lose, I like everything a bit tighter.  So there you go.  I'm not athletic, I do not LIKE working out.  But I do like walking because of the moment to take a breath and enjoy being outside and listening to good music 💓 I wanted to commit to living my truth...if I say be kind...that means I have to drop some guards and also do just that.  There's been a couple relationships over the years that I wanted to circle back to this year.  Both hav...

Jayme’s Award Winning 😉 Salsa 2lbs Tomatillo, husked and washed and halved 2 Jalapeño, washed, halved, seeded if you’re a wuss.  1 Serrano, washed, remove stem 1 red onion, quartered 1 Lg Tomato 1 Bunch Cilantro 2 Tbs minced garlic  Salt  On a large baking sheet lay out your tomatillos, peppers and onion. Cover the bottom of the pan Chicken stock or water. I also drizzled a little olive oil.  Put in a 350 oven for 75-90 minutes.  Let cool down a bit and throw everything in a food processor.  Holy. Moly. Very restaurant like. Maybe a Cantina Laredo or Haciendas Ranch feel to it. So. Good.  I like it warm so when I go to get it out of the fridge, I just throw in the microwave for a sec.  SO good!

Perpetual diets and a soul change....

I feel like all my life, I've been on a perpetual diet.  Seriously.  Pretty much every day of my life has been a choice.  Some days/months/years I do great.  Others....not so much. I've never been one of those girls.  You know...the ones that always just pulled it off.  Looks, weight, clothes.  Nope.  That is not me.  I've also always had skinny friends.  They ate the same things as me...but I'd notice on me and never on them.  I think I've always aspired in some way to be each of them.  Hell, maybe they keep me in check so I don't ever let myself go to much?  That's some deep thinking stuff! What a funny life.  Then, I had my jaw surgery.  Long recovery.  Long, hard, painful recovery.  I think I just gave myself a pass for the last couple of years.  Because I can tell you...I hadn't been too worried about my weight since then. So.  I had a picture taken of me on August 17th.  As ...
