Grilled Cream Cheese-Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers--Shirley 6 fresh jalapenos 1 (8 ounce) block cream cheese, softened 6 slices thin bacon, sliced in half Slice each pepper in half, lengthwise. Remove stem. Carefully clean out all the seeds and white membranes. Use plastic gloves and clean peppers under cold running water. Dry with paper towels. Spoon cream cheese in each pepper half. Wrap a piece of the raw bacon around each piece of pepper and secure with a wooden pick. Grill over hot coals until the bacon crisps. Low fat version: Substitute fat-free cream cheese. And instead of bacon, use strips of fat free lunch ham. NOTE: If desired, mix some shredded Cheddar cheese into the cream cheese for a taste difference. Or try any of the flavored cream cheeses such as salmon or onion. |

Spicy Chicken Wings
Cut up some chicken wings at the two joints. Save the very end for soup, use the two with meat on them. .
Start the Grill on low
In a small stainless bowl mix equal amounts of Hot Pepper Sauce (not the same thing as tobasco) and unsalted butter. Put the mix on the grill to melt the butter.
Start cooking the wings on low. They have to cook from the heat generated by the coals, not from the flames.
Turn the wings over every 5 to 10 minutes. As they start to take on some color dip them into the melted butter hot pepper mix before turning them over.
Warning - They will flare up as the butter drips onto the coals. You want to cook them with the indirect heat of the coals, not the flames. Keep moving them from the flames as necessary or they will burn.
Once they become golden brown (usually four dips and turnings) cut one to see it is cooked through and serve with Blue cheese dip (below)
Blue cheese dip - equal amounts of crumbled blue cheese and blue cheese dressing, let it sit a few hours to mix
