{Katie’s Kitchen} Bacon & Pineapple Jalapeno Poppers

Brought to you by Catoctin Mountin Orchard .

These are the perfect appetizer to eat all for yourself or share with others! We love these!

For a small party- I used 8 jalapenos. Slice each one in half and remove the seeds. Side note- I always use gloved when removing the seeds!!

Take a small spoonful of cream cheese and spread inside the jalapeno. Get fresh pineapple and slice into small pieces, you can also use crushed pineapple, then add to the top of the cream cheese.

Next, take your uncooked bacon and cut in half, if it is a longer slice (you don’t want to wrap the bacon around the jalapeno more than once), then wrap your bacon around the entire jalapeno and lay flat on a baking sheet.

Cook the jalapenos at 400 degrees for 15 minutes (or until the bacon is crispy enough).

ENJOY!

Ingredients:

-8 jalapenos

-cream cheese (4 oz.)

-sliced pineapple (can also use crushed)

-bacon

{Katie’s Kitchen} Easy Baked Pork Chops

Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard.

I used to be afraid to cook pork chops until I understood how easy it was to make them, and this recipe helped me realize that; it’s delicious!!!

Start out by pre-heating your oven to 400 degrees. Then using a white onion, layer onions in a  cast iron skillet or 9×9 baking dish. Drizzle onions with olive oil. Set aside.

The rub makes all the difference! In a bowl, combine kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika and pepper. Then, season both sides of your pork chops with the rub and place the chops right on top of the onions.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Grab your favorite BBQ sauce and take the pork chops out of the oven and brush both sides of the chops with the sauce.

Place pork chops back into the oven and bake for another 5 minutes. Then, let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced into 1/4-inch rings
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 1/4-inch thick boneless pork chops
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

For the BBQ Rub:

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper

Celebrating 3 years on WFRE!

Time sure has flown by. I feel like I’ve been here in Frederick for a lifetime, in a good way! I remember feeling so anxious wondering if everything would go well and if I could fit into the WFRE family. Thanks to YOU I have felt at home since the very beginning. You were so welcoming and I quickly fell in love with all that Frederick had to offer…beautiful views, an incredible sense of community and wonderful people!

{Katie’s Kitchen} Fudgey Brownies!

Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard.

These brownies are amazing!!! I’ve never made homemade brownies…I like to stick to boxed brownies but these were fun to make and taste WAY more delicious!

Grab and butter a 9×9 pan and pre-heat the oven to 350. (I used a 9×13 pan, so I made 1 1/2 times the recipe).

In a saucepan on the stove over low heat- melt together 2 cups of chocolate chips and butter and whisk until melted, then set aside to cool.

In another mixing bowl- whisk, 4 eggs,  1 1/4 cups granulated sugar and coffee granules, 3 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp vanilla extract.

Add in the cooled chocolate into the egg mixture then whisk.

In a separate bowl- mix your dry ingredients: 2/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup cocoa, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt then use a spatula to fold mixture into the batter until combined without over mixing.

Pour your batter to into the buttered pan (you can also line with parchment paper to make clean up easier) and sprinkle all over with remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 for 35-40 min. Cool and serve.

Ingredients: I got the recipe here!

Grandma-granddaughter pair Miluska and 12 year old Talia are loyal WFRE listeners from Adamstown and wanted to share their good news with us! When the pandemic started, Talia’s Grandma began making masks for her essential co-workers at the post office. Talia took it upon herself to learn how to make these masks day in and day out in order to help her grandma’s efforts. Her family is so very proud of her for spending time on such a great cause that helps our community during these hard times.

Word of mouth traveled fast and more and more orders kept coming through. Talia was ecstatic! She decided to make it official and start her own handmade mask business on Facebook and Etsy! She’s fulfilled orders for the Montgomery County Police Department, teachers, wedding parties and so many more!

Check out T&M Creations for all of your mask needs and support young local business!
