Quick and Easy Stuffed Jalapeno Boats (appetizer)

 These sure are delicious, I am telling ya!  I tested them out on Glenn and he LOVED them.  I even used some jalapenos that were turning red but beware, they are much hotter when they turn!

Also, another tip;  be sure to wear gloves when you handle the peppers!  If you make contact with the raw pepper once you have cut it open, scrub your hands well in a bowl of 2 tablespoons of baking soda and a cup of water.  ;)

Bon Appétit!  =D
