Jalapeno Popper Corn Fritters
Recently Andy had his work buddy Trent send me a FB message complete with the recipe and pictures for some Jalapeno Popper Corn Fritters. To quote Trent, they were: deeeelicious!! He gave me permission to use his pictures and said he Googled the recipe when I asked where it came from. I did a quick search and found the original recipe on ClosetCooking.com. I have followed Kevin Lynch's Closet Cooking blog for a long time so I don't know how I missed this one. Trent messaged me and Andy followed up with a text immediately after asking me to fix some. This week's menu is planned but Saturday night is looking pretty good for a plate full of these. We make squash fritters and potato fritters and love to eat them (more than we should). I feel pretty confident this one will probably get into regular rotation.
I love it when longtime blog followers want to contribute! I have one friend who is supposed to be sending me his jambalaya recipe and another for Lavender scones so look for their upcoming contributions.
