Pepper Jack Popping Right In To March!
Well Daaaayaam, it’s been a little bit; but I won’t bore you all with the reasons. Believe me, you don’t wanna know!

So, the first time my peeps enjoyed this fine appetizer was, once again, at Diamante in Cabo. We couldn’t find the mini bell peppers, so they look a bit different but taste amazing! Thinking that they would look all fancy with the proper mini peppers, Donaldo and I prepared them at home last weekend. Same great taste…you decide which look you desire!
Salud!

1 cup hot cooked grits
1 cup freshly shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 Tbs chopped fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/4 t salt
1/4 t ground pepper
18 to 20 sweet mini bell peppers, multiple colors

Stir together first 7 ingredients until cheese is melted.
Cover and chill 8 hours.
Preheat broiler with oven rack 6 inches from heat.
Cut peppers in half lengthwise, leaving stem intact.
Remove seeds.
Spoon grits mixture into pepper halves.
Place on broiler pan.
Broil 4 minutes or until golden.
Hint: Chilling leftover grits gives them a second life.
Once solidified, cut into smaller pieces and reheat easily on high heat in oven.
So, always make extra grits!!
