Directions:

If you’re using a grill, heat it to medium. If not, heat the oven to 400ºF. Fill each jalapeño half with cream cheese. Mold sausage around each jalapeño half, making sure to cover the entire jalapeño. Wrap each “armadillo egg” with a slice of bacon.

Cook the eggs on an open grill until the sausage is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. If you don’t have an outdoor grill, bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, then broil until the bacon is crispy.

Remove the eggs from the grill or oven and cover with melted butter.

The Duck Dynasty clan stopped by Good Morning America to share their go-to recipes from their cookbook, Miss Kay’s Duck Commander Kitchen, to make at home.

The Robertson family kicked things off with their recipe for duck and dressing, which roasts a whole duck over a hearty cornbread and cracker dressing.

“We’re not losing weight on this meal,” Miss Kay Robertson admitted.

Next up were Willie Robertson’s famous armadillo eggs.

“This is low-fat,” Willie Robertson joked.

“It only has sausage, bacon and cream cheese.”

These meat-wrapped jalapeño poppers are grilled for crunch and smoky flavor, and then finished off in the oven.

Jase and Missy Robertson took the reins next with a banana pudding.

“If you didn’t get enough fat from the sausage and the bacon and the butter,” Missy Robertson quipped.

“There are two sticks of butter in this and two cups of sugar to start off with.”

The banana pudding is a no-cook recipe, and Jase Robertson shared its secret.

“That’s lemon juice – you dip [the bananas] in there so they don’t turn brown,” he said.

Miss Kay Robertson attempted to make things healthier with Aunt Judy’s cranberry salad.

“It is a salad!” Miss Kay Robertson insisted of the dessert dish with marshmallows and whipped topping.

Willie Robertson quickly cut off any of her healthy claims.

“But what you really want is the cheesy bread right here,” he said of his recipe for crazy bread.

“This is more bacon on top of French bread with a little butter and olive oil with garlic and you toast it.”

Duck Dynasty is among the TV shows influencing the hottest trends in baby names in 2013.

Silas “Si” Robertson finds himself with unlikely namesakes this year.

According to BabyCenter, Silas jumped to No. 112 among boys’ names on its annual list of popular baby names. Phil, the name of the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty family, the Robertsons of West Monroe, Louisiana, rose 32%, or 860 spots, on the list.

Korie, the name of Willie Robertson’s wife, jumped an amazing 89%, or 13,262 spots, on the list.

No one’s rushing to name their sons, or daughters, after Breaking Bad‘s Walter White – the name Walter fell 12%, or 55 spots – and most other character names on the show also dropped on the list. Two character names, however, saw significant jumps: the name Mike is up 20% and Marie is up 21%.

Kate Middleton’s son, Prince George, also had a big impact for such a little guy. BabyCenter found that the name George climbed 10% for boys – and 37% for girls.

And don’t forget the ever-popular Kanye West-Kim Kardashian family.

While the name of their daughter North did not show a great increase, the name Kanye jumped 38%, or 2,228 spots. Little North West’s nickname, Nori, also saw an increase of five spots on the list.

The HBO series Girls had an impact on two fronts: the name of character Marnie jumped 62%, or 3,286 spots, and the name of series creator and star Lena Dunham rose 26%.

Elsewhere, the names Jackson, Aiden and Liam topped BabyCenter’s list of the top 100 baby names for boys. Sophia, Emma and Olivia topped the list of the most popular girls names.

Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson revealed he was thrilled to be a part of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York.

He told FOX411 that watching the annual extravaganza is something the Robertson family has done every year.

“It’s something we watched together as a family,” the Louisiana man said.

“It’s an honor to be up here, we’re real excited so we brought the whole crew.”

Willie Robertson said that the Robertson clan waving to crowds down Broadway might not to be so strange after all.

“After the year we’ve had I’m starting to believe all kinds of weird things,” Willie Robertson admitted.

“It’s been quite a year, the good Lord’s been good to us, blessed us a bunch so we hope we can continue on the path we’re on, staying positive and keeping it real and moving forward with our faith and family. That’s the recipe that’s gotten us here so we’re going to stick with that.”

So, the Robertson clan didn’t stick around New York City to feast on turkey. Instead they hightailed it right back to Monroe, Louisiana.

“We’ve already celebrated Thanksgiving early so I’m going home,” Willie Robertson explained.

“[After the parade] we’re jumping on a plane. We got to get home and get some things back done at home.”

Duck Dynasty reality show has inspired Reverend Chris Terbush in northwestern Pennsylvania to encourage his congregation to come to church in camouflage clothing on Sunday.

Reverend Chris Terbush told the Bradford Era he’s hoping to attract new members to The First Wesleyan Church of Bradford, and to celebrate the state’s outdoors heritage before deer-hunting season opens Monday.

“Ultimately, the major goal is to draw new parishioners,” Chris Terbush said.

“I thought it’d be neat if nothing else to show the community who we are.”

The 30-year-old pastor and outdoor enthusiast is a native of Indiana and a life-long hunter. He plans to dress in his hunting clothes, as the evangelical Protestant denomination doesn’t require that he wear a clerical collar or other garb to preside at church services.

“There are a lot of hunters in our congregation,” Chris Terbush said.

“I know we live in a hunting community and we’re open to all people including hunters.”

The church is located about 120 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, not far from the border of New York.

Chris Terbush said he’s still working on a sermon that “could very well deal with the subject of camouflage itself.”

“Camo Sunday” might even become a regular event if it proves popular.

The home of Duck Dynasty’s family has become a huge tourist draw over the years.

On any given day the Official Duck Commander hometown tour takes visitors to 26 locations featured on the show, including the Duck Commander Store and Warehouse, Haskell’s Donuts, Debbie’s Snowballs, and Danken Trail.

Now, Monroe, Louisiana, is pulling out all the stops for some serious holiday festivities.

Throughout December there will be a host of events, which include meet and greets featuring the stars themselves, a massive laser light show-and lots and lots of camouflage.

Get involved in the fun on Saturday, December 14, as Monroe’s Downtown RiverMarket presents A Very Merry Commander Christmas – an event featuring appearances by members of the Robertson family.

Get working on growing out your beard and don’t pack your razor, as organizers hold a star of Duck Dynasty look-a-like contest.

Get your game face on for the Duck Commander Duck Derby on the Ouachita River. In the afternoon, approximately 10,000 plastic ducks will float down from near the Endom Bridge for the duck race. Prizes will be awarded.

Later in the day, Louisiana’s favorite first family will serve as the grand marshals.

A boat flotilla will make its way to The Downtown RiverMarket, culminating in a laser light show and live music.

“The whole family is excited to ride down the river in the ‘Duck the Halls’ flotilla, and then for the grand finale, the night ends with the biggest laser light show our area has ever seen,” said Korie Robertson.

“It is going to be a great day for families to come out and enjoy.”

Not only is it guaranteed to be a fun day, Korie Robertson says she’s excited to be part of the event because it benefits the Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana.

“Christmas is about family, giving to others, and enjoying time together, but most importantly, Christmas is about celebrating Jesus’ birth,” she said.

Monroe has more to offer this holiday season than A Very Merry Commander Christmas.   Make your holiday trip complete with some Commander Christmas shopping.

You can visit the family’s new shop to find great, unique gifts for those on your list this year.

“Rebecca, our oldest daughter, and I just opened a fun new clothing and gift boutique, Duck and Dressing, that we are really excited about, and, of course, fans are always welcome to stop by our warehouse and visit the Duck Commander store,” Korie Robertson said.

You can even try Willie and Miss Kay Robertson’s recipes during your trip at Willie’s Duck Diner.

Korie Robertson says besides Willie’s, Cotton, is their go-to restaurant.

“It’s in downtown Monroe in a cool, old building that overlooks the Ouachita River,” Korie Robertson said.

“You have to try the duck wraps and the duck fat fries; so good!”

For a sweet snack, stop by Not Just Pie, where Korie Robertson recommends the delicious blueberry creme pie.

Duck Dynasty’s Reed Robertson, the eldest son of Jase and Missy Robertson, admitted that the pressures of being on a hit television show changed him, and not necessarily for the better.

In a new film by the Christian group IamSecond, Reed Robertson said: “A couple years ago, I started to get real cynical and looking at everything like <<That’s wrong>>, or <<They are looking at that wrong>> because I thought I had it all figured out.”  

“I guess I got really caught up in thinking that I was better than everyone else because of who my family was.”

The changes in Reed Robertson’s personality caused his friends and loved ones to begin avoiding him. He grew angry and depressed, and after getting snubbed by his pals after church one day, he “finally hit rock bottom.”

“No one wanted anything to do with a cynical person like me,” he said.

“I told my youth minister that I was, I pretty much told him that I wanted to kill myself.”

Reed Robertson, now 18, wrote a suicide note, but after speaking with his parents, Jase and Missy Robertson, he had a change of heart.

“My mom was devastated of course. She’s crying and all this kinda stuff. She’s thinking where she went wrong and it wasn’t her at all,” he said.

“My dad told me, he said, <<That is the most selfish thing that you can do… Leave this world because you can’t take it>>. And I really believe that that’s true.”

Now, Reed Robertson said his situation has turned around and he’s “back on track with Jesus”.

“I just thought about, like, <<I’m about to leave all these people that I could have a really huge impact with>>,” he said.

“I was finally free of doubts, of having an attitude of being cynical, and I remember being so relieved. And Jesus brings that relief. I think who taught me that was the men in my life and my family.”

The 30-minute documentary The Robertsons also recently shed light on past issues regarding Reed’s grandparents, where it was revealed that Phil Robertson’s one-time drinking problem almost destroyed his family.

Duck Dynasty will return on December 11 with the Robertson family’s annual Christmas special.

Duck Dynasty stars Willie and Korie Robertson and principals of the sprawling Trinchero Family Estates winery toasted their new joint wine label Tuesday at a launch party in St. Helena.

The Duck Commander Wines label is “a great opportunity to join with a tremendous success story – the Robertson family,” said Roger Trinchero, the winery’s chief executive officer, at the party with about 75 staff and family members, local distributors and guests.

Roger Trinchero said while the business aspect of the new label was attractive, it was the chemistry between the two families that was compelling for him.

“They come from the same sort of background that we did – plus they are really great people,” Roger Trinchero said.

“We share the same values,” he added.

“Not to mention that the brand itself has tremendous potential.”

The Duck Commander by Robertson Family Wines feature a Red Blend, a Chardonnay and a Pink Moscato.

The wines, which sell at a mid-range price point of around $10 per bottle, are currently available at Wal-Mart, and will be at stores nationally by January.

Bob Torkelson, Trinchero’s COO, said a representative from the Robertson clan approached him about the possibility of producing their wine label.

He said the Trinchero family was “thrilled” to be associated with the project – both for business reasons and because they resonated with the Robertsons. The two families shared a private dinner Monday night at the Trinchero estate north of St. Helena.

“To be associated with the most popular reality TV show ever, plus to be with a great family group, really makes it a win-win for us,” Bob Torkelson said.

The prom dress, including ones that Sadie Robertson modeled in at the Sherri Hill’s New York Fashion Week on September 9th, is part of her effort to create a clothing line that promotes modesty, a biblical value and a matter of heart that are increasingly unfamiliar in today’s fashion trends.

Duck Dynasty’s Si and Jase Robertson have teamed up with insurer State Farm to reinforce the importance of turkey fryer and cooking safety this holiday season with a brand-new video titled Hang on a Minute with Jase and Si Robertson.

The video captures the importance of turkey frying safety in a humorous yet educational way by cautioning viewers to “hang on a minute and think before you fry”. Regardless if the person frying the bird is experienced or a novice, everyone should take appropriate safety precautions prior to frying.

Si and Jase Robertson have teamed up with insurer State Farm to reinforce the importance of turkey fryer and cooking safety this holiday season

Jase Robertson and Uncle Si have been frying turkey for years without incident because they recognize the dangers and take the proper safety measures to reduce their risk of a fire.

Cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and home injuries. Based on data from State Farm, more cooking fires occur on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year. The good news is that State Farm cooking fire claims on Thanksgiving Day have been reduced from 66 claims in 2010 to 29 claims in 2012, the lowest number of claims in a decade.

While the reduction is significant, the fact remains there are still injuries and damage to property as a result of turkey frying or cooking fires each year.

November is the number one month for grease and cooking related fire and December is the second highest month.

Newly elected Louisiana Congressman Vance McAllister said the endorsement by the Duck Dynasty fame might have given him a leg up in winning Saturday’s runoff for an open congressional seat.

“When Willie and Jep and Jase did what they did for me, I’m sure it didn’t hurt at all,” Republican Vance McAllister told Fox & Friends Monday, referring to the endorsements he received from the folks on the popular TV reality show.

Vance McAllister beat fellow Republican state Senator Neil Riser in a runoff election for the seat in the state’s 5th Congressional District. Both self-described conservatives, Riser ran on the endorsement of the Tea Party of Louisiana.

Phil Robertson endorsed Vance McAllister, a businessman and political newcomer, because he had “the least political experience,” Raw Story reports.

Vance McAllister said Willie Robertson stopped by to congratulate him after the win, giving him a “big old bear hug.”

“We had just wrapped up with all my TV interviews and everything, and I was talking to some friends and family. And, next thing I hear is, <<Willie is here.>> And, I turned around and, oh, my goodness, it’s like Grizzly Adams walking up behind you,” Vance McAllister said.

“He told me he was proud of me. And, I told him, <<Well, boy, I appreciate it>>. Phil, Jase, and Willie and Jep, and even Si, they are amazing, true Christians,” Vance McAllister added.

“And, you know, what y’all see on TV, and I’ve known them before any of this all came about, they are some wonderful people.”

Vance McAllister also said the barrage of negative campaign ads against him also contributed to his win.

“It was 100 percent negative campaign against 100 percent positive campaign. And, I stayed true to my faith and maintained my integrity,” he said.

“We kind of shocked the world.”

Operation Christmas Child wrote on their Samaritan’s Purse website: “Since 1990, more than 100 million boys and girls in over 130 countries have experienced God’s love through the power of simple shoe box gifts from Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan’s Purse works with local churches and ministry partners to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ.

“We always give shoeboxes to children based on need, regardless of their background or religious beliefs. It’s an unconditional gift of love.

“Where appropriate, with each shoebox, our church partners will offer a little booklet of Bible stories. They may also invite children receiving shoeboxes to join a discipleship course called The Greatest Journey. This is a <<no strings attached>> programme and participation is with the consent of their parent or guardian.”
