My December 2022 Art Calendar Page and Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date

Here is My December 2022 Art Calendar Page.  The quote I chose was:

Chill December brings the sleet,

Blazing fire, and Christmas treat. - Sara Coleridge

And welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date, the theme is 'Bells. Here is my 'Bells' ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  Yes, it is that time of year!

For the Dinner Date, I am showing my jalapeno poppers.  My friend had made them this summer and I decided to try them myself.

Here is my recipe:

12 jalapenos (3-4" long)

1 8oz cream cheese block softened

1 c cheddar cheese

1/2 tsp onion powder

2-3 slices of cooked bacon minced

1 tsp dried oregano

preheat oven 400F

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out seeds and ribs. In a bowl mix together cream cheese, cheddar cheese, onion powder, oregano and bacon.  Fill each jalapeno half with the mix.  Bake 20-25 mins.  Serve warm to get the full sense of the heat.
