I love Jalapeño Poppers, but I don't like the calories and fat, so here is a healthier version that is super easy to make at home.  You get all the taste with none of the guilt!
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Ingredients
 - 8 Jalapeños, halved and seeded
 -8 oz. low fat cream cheese
 -1/2 cup sharp cheddar
 - 2 green onions
 -1 tsp dried cilanto
 -1 tsp dried parsley
 -1 tsp garlic powder
 - 1 tsp salt
 - 6 slices of bacon or turkey bacon (preferably with no nitrates/nitrites)
 - parmesan cheese
In a mixing bowl, mix all ingredients together except for the jalapeños and parmesan cheese.  Once ingredients are combined, fill the jalapeños with the cheese mixture.  Lay flat on a pan with aluminum foil.  Once they are filled sprinkle them with parmesan cheese, and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until the filling starts to brown.  Let cool and Enjoy!!
