CHEW THE RIGHT THING



BITE IT!

HG's Jalapeno Swappers



Pop 'Til Ya Drop!

HG loves a challenge, and coming up with a rockin' swap for this cheesy fried

finger food was slightly tricky. Luckily, our favorite fiber-packed cereal saved

the day (as usual). BTW, if you've never tried fake-frying by baking items

covered in low-calorie cereal crumbs, DO IT NOW!!! (Sorry, got carried away

there.) HG Tip: Bake up a batch (or two - they'll go fast!) this Super Bowl

Sunday, and you and your poppers will be the life of the party. Touchdown,

HG!



Ingredients:

5 whole, fresh jalapenos

1/4 cup fat-free cream cheese

1/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese

1/2 cup Fiber One Original bran cereal

1/4 cup Egg Beaters Original

Optional: salt, pepper and/or garlic powder



Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Halve the jalapenos lengthwise, and remove

the seeds, stems, and membranes (HG Heads Up: Be VERY careful when

handling jalapenos; wash hands frequently and well, and avoid touching your

face and eyes). Wash halves and dry them very well; set aside. Next, stir to

combine cream cheese and cheese shreds. If desired, season cheese

mixture with salt, pepper, and/or garlic powder. Using a blender, grind Fiber

One to a breadcrumb-like consistency. If you like, season crumbs with salt,

pepper, and/or garlic powder. Place crumbs in one small dish and Egg

Beaters in another. Stuff each pepper half with cheese mixture. Next,

carefully coat both sides of each pepper half with Egg Beaters, and then with

Fiber One crumbs. Place peppers on a baking pan sprayed with nonstick

spray, and place in oven. Cook for 25 minutes (for very spicy poppers) to 30

minutes (medium-hot poppers). Makes 10 poppers.

FIGHT IT!

Arby's Jalapeno Bites, Regular Size



Jalapeno Floppers

Here's the scoop. In this bar favorite, bite-sized hot peppers are stuffed with

cheesy goo, dunked in egg, flour and breadcrumbs, and then fried to a

crispy, oily finish. Yikes. It's no wonder that just a few of these crazy critters

add up to hundreds of fatty calories! Don't get us wrong; we're ALL FOR

fried, cheesy things with a spicy kick -- IF they're low in calories and high in

fiber. Yeah, we know that's a tall order, but HG can fill it (did you have any

doubt?). So skip the fast food poppers and their freakish 21 grams of fat.

And pop some of our Jalapeno Swappers instead!
