When the November HEB Primo Picks box arrived, I was hoping it would include ingredients that I could use for holiday baking. New-to-me, non-pumpkin ingredients that would serve as holiday recipe inspiration.
I was tempted to use the jarred HEB jalapeños to make jalapeño poppers, but instead, challenged myself to be a tad more creative. And as I was prepping my gramma’s pie dough for Thanksgiving pies, the idea of jalapeño hand pies came about.
Spicy jalapeños, flavorful pepper jack cheese, smooth cream cheese, and classic cumin filled these pastries. Jalapeño hand pies were extra popular among the gents at the holiday party I attended over the weekend.

I also prepared a baked brie using the Central Market Cranberry and Orange Chutney that was included in the Primo Picks box that I will post the recipe for tomorrow.
