EASY PICO DE GALLO

With so many jalapenos peppers in the garden sometimes it is hard to do anything with all of them. Here is a easy recipe I found that is so good and simple to make.

7 Roma Tomatoes or regular medium tomatoes, deseeded
1 Medium Onion,
3 Whole Jalapeno Peppers, deseeded
1 Bunch Cilantro
Lime Juice to your liking
Salt to your taste

Deseed the jalapenos if you do not like this very hot. Then chop them and the onions and tomatoes into a small dice. Chop up the cilantro but do not use the stems. Put all ings. in a medium bowl and stir good. Add salt to your taste. Sprinkle (1/2 lime) juice over this and mix again. Ref. good with nachos.

GARY'S STEAK SEASONINGS

Seasoning Salt
Onion Powder
Lemon-Pepper
Garlic Salt
Kc Masterpiece Monterial Steak Season with garlic
McCormick Grill Mates Steak Seasoning


Do not add a lot of the garlic salt and seasoning salt as the other spices has salt in them. Combine all together in a small bowl what you will need for your steaks and then rub all over the steaks. Or just sprinkle each one on as you like.  Rub in good. Flip steak over and do the other side. Let sit in ref. for 4 hours or overnight in a ziploc bag. Grill or pan fry. I like them grilled best.

You would not think that mixing apple juice with koolaid is good but with the cherry flavor it is. if to sweet a small amount of water can be added.

1 Large Can Apple Juice or Bottle
2 Packs Pre-sweetened Cherry Kool-aid
Ice

Mix the kool-aid in with the juice in a large pitcher. Pour in some ice and serve. Can start out by just using one pack of kool-aid. Stir good. Keep ref.
