Baked Jalapeno Poppers Low Fat and Low Calories image

Here is a much healthier recipe for jalapeno poppers. The peppers are stuffed with mushrooms, zucchini, corn and manchego cheese. These poppers get baked in the oven. Wouldn't these be nice to serve out by the pool with a margarita. Yum! I think yes!
