Cranberry Jalapeno Poppers
We were invited to a super bowl party last year and needed a good appetizer to bring. After searching online for "super bowl appetizers" we noticed a lot of jalapeno popper recipes so we thought, why not try adding cranberries? If you haven't noticed, we try adding cranberries to everything to see what works! These came out so good. The whole tray got eaten and they look great too! We love the bright pink color the cranberries and goat cheese make. Grab a bag of frozen cranberries on your next grocery store run and try making a batch yourself!
