Two Favorite Jalapeño Dip Appetizers

My husband lives for his college football and although I can’t get myself to sit still long enough to watch a whole game, with some delicious dips, wings, and other tailgate appetizers, count me in!  Today, I am sharing two of my favorite recipes that use JALAPENOS!  I just harvested the last vegetables from my garden and I have plenty of these to go around and am pulling out the best of the best recipes to use with my hand-grown peppers.  

Both of these recipes are favorites in our house and many friends have requested them as well so I thought they would be perfect to share with you.  So EASY (perfect for all of you busy mamas out there), yet so delicious…
