There’s a story behind the creation of these homemade Captain Morgan Chocolate Chip Cookies like with any cocktail-esque creation or any of my boozy bite recipes.

This dear friend was an MP in the National Guard.  When he and his unit deployed to Croatia and Bosnia, I was tasked with sending care packages from our crew.  One thing he always mentioned was the lack of Captain Morgan on base.  However, with rules, I couldn’t just ship him some bottles of his favorite rum.  So – after a bit of thought, these homemade Captain Morgan Chocolate Chip Cookies were born.  …

It’s hard to believe that #BaconMonth has arrived and I have a super simple and flavorful recipe for you today that your friends and family will love – Bacon Wrapped Sweet Pepper Poppers.

I have a confession – I have been withholding these scrumptious bacon bites from you for some time.  I first made them during the holidays as an alternative to jalapeno poppers.  Sometimes you never know the spice level that your guests can handle and while I often make jalapeno poppers inspired by an old Pioneer Woman recipe from her first cookbook, I  decided to take it in a new direction when I spotted some gorgeous mini bell peppers in the grocery store.  …
