Delicious when made with regular, low, or fat free cream cheese. Grilled Stuffed Jalapenos can be served as an appetizer or as a side dish and are a very good source of vitamin A, as well as a few other nutritional goodies which makes this is a most mindful treat. Treats are just fine as long as you do not have them every day. Choose your day, your treat and enjoy each bite.
