If you like guacamole and jalapenos, you'll LOVE this creamy, avocado-jalapeno salsa.  It goes great with authentic, Mexican tacos.  Get chorizo, cook it, cut into small pieces.  Use soft, CORN tortillas and fry them in some oil.  Add the cooked chorizo, onion, cilantro, and some of this salsa.  This is an easy, inexpensive, quick and DELICIOUS meal!

After the 4th of July I took a break from doing any cooking...but last night decided cook for a few friends who came over on short notice.

I usually buy whole beef tenderloins (the whole strap) then trim out the chateaubriand, saving the outer parts of the tenderloin for another meal.

It's blasphemy to some, but I like to make an herb crust for the chateau and let it set up for a few hours before cooking.

The crust recipe is:

8-10 crushed cloves of garlic
1 tbsp coarse sea salt
2 tbsp fresh ground coarse black pepper
2 tbsp fresh chopped rosemary
2 tbsp fresh chopped thyme
5-6 tbsp EVOO (I just do this part by consistency, don't really measure)

Once the beef is totally trimmed I rub all sides of the chateau liberally with the crust, then wrap in saran wrap tightly and toss back in fridge for a few hours.

To cook, I began on the green egg over lump charcoal (no heat deflector) with grate temp close to 550*. Five minutes, then flip for another five minutes...then moved over to the Traeger at 300* until the internal temp reaches 127*...pull it and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

We make these fairly regular, but switch up the "stuffing". I've made mexican, itilian, and bbq stuffed zucchini in the past. Next we are trying a cajun style, with shrimp and andoullie sausage

I took as chance on some Wagyu beef patties from of all places WW. My wife fried these in a skillet with onions and all I can say it was fantastic. You really can't grill these because of their fat content, but frying ion a skillet renders down most of it. They were juicy, moist and just flat out unbelievably good. Definitely a must buy again.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....peach pie............
Pastry for 9-inch 2-crust pie — either your own or pre-made (I use half Crisco, half lard in mine)
5-6 cups sliced peaches
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
2 Tablespoons butter
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare pastry. Mix sliced peaches with lemon juice. Stir together flour and sugar and mix with peaches. Pour into flour-lined pie pan. Put little pieces of butter on top. Dampen edges and cover with top crust. Seal and flute, and put slit in top to allow steam to escape. Bake for 15 minutes, then turn down to 300 degrees. You might need to put strips of foil around edges to keep from browning too much. Bake about 40 minutes, until juice begins to bubble through slits in crust and pie is slightly brown.

Weâ€ve grilled more in the last 5 months than normal. Got an infrared gas grill in the winter and took a while getting used to it taking half as long to finish, but boy are we pleased.

Son did some pork chops with salt, pepper and paprika that were the best Iâ€ve ever had. Literally.
