Confetti Balloons
Here is a great idea for a party. You can coordinate your confetti to match any theme. Purchase white helium balloons and glue your confetti on the bottom.
** I found this idea on Pinterest. Sorry NO LINK it was just a picture.

- 2 slices sliced provolone, mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons queso dip
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place jalapenos on a baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake the peppers until tops start to blacken, or about 8 minutes. Let peppers chill and then peel the skin off.

Breakfast Grilled Cheese
Ingredients:
- 1 jumbo egg
- 2 slices sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 slices crispy bacon
- 1/3 cup fresh baby spinach
Directions:
- In a lightly oiled frying pan, add one egg, being careful not to crack the yolk. Lightly season with salt and pepper and fry over medium heat. Flip egg and cook on opposite side. Undercook your egg just a little because it will cook a little longer when you cook the sandwich.
