I’m starting to think I have an obsession with jalapeños. They burn so good.
Unfortunately, Scott hates jalapeños. I like my food way spicier than he does. So I really only eat jalapeños on my own. I can’t put them in our dinner or lunches because I make batches and Scott loses his mind whenever jalapeños are present.

Anyway, yesterday I was workin’ and felt like snacking. I rarely snack, but sometimes snacks are awesome. Especially when they involve creamy cheese, spicy peppers and salty prosciutto. It’s like the freakin’ trifecta of the perfect snack.
