WOW! I did not know there was a National Day set aside just for Peach Pie. Celebrating that one for sure!

Ever since I learned how to make a decent pie crust I have really fallen in love with pie baking! Peach pie is one of my favorites.

A few years ago I toured one of my friends’s peach orchards. She is a 4th generation peach farmer in California.
We picked peaches off the tree and that night I made a pie. It was HEAVENLY to say the least. I didn’t add ice cream or shipped topping. Just mouthful of tree sweetened peaches baked between a flaky crust.

Oh My..There is ALWAYS time for Pie!

Being able to pick fruit that has been allowed to ripen on the tree is so much better than buying it green and having it ripen on the counter in your kitchen. The sugar content is a whole new ball game when you buy fruit directly from a farmer or at a farmer’s market.

When you are making pies or jam, don’t worry it there are a few blemishes. My daughter-in-law and I just bought a box of peaches that were considered 2nds but was exactly what we needed for making jam and cost half of full price. Now I wish we had picked up two boxes so we could have made a few pies!

This is what my great grandfather used to say about homemade pies.

There are only two kinds of pie I like. Warm or cold. :~D

Quick Tip:At first I was a bit nervous about making the lattice crust but then I read that making the lattice crust helped the moisture from the fruit evaporate and helped the crust to not get soggy.

Surf’s Up DUDE! But thankfully you don’t need to head to the beach to Pick Up a Platter of these!

I had never really heard of fish tacos until I moved to the San Diego area. In fact, I thought someone was kidding the first time they were talking about it.

Soon I realized that not only were a huge deal, but people rated places to eat based on their fish tacos. It was almost like the “Hang Ten” version of the classic kids story The Three Bears. ” This taco is too soft, this taco is too hard. THIS taco is just right!”

So what makes a great fish taco? It is in the cooking of the fish and fresh ingredients. The thin spicy batter helps to seal in the juice.

The fresh bold flavors of the salsa add to the tangy mixture creating what some would call the ultimate Barrel. (That is Surf Lingo for a Great Wave.) Like I would really know from experience since one of my biggest fears is being eaten by a shark. Besides, who is going to stay on the beach and watch our chairs and towels!

Even if you aren’t planning to hit the waves anytime soon, you can still fix these for your luau. A platter of these and toss some fine sand in your hair and it will feel like you just stepped off the beach to one of the little hole in the wall Taco stands.

Here is what Tatyana has to say about her sea inspired recipe.

These fish tacos with home-made guacamole and mango salsa will rock your world! Literally, the BEST fish tacos you’ll ever have! I’ve been using this fish taco recipe for years and it never gets old! The simple mango salsa with tomato, cilantro and lime is the perfect topping for these tacos!

Quick Tip: If you want to buy pre-made guacamole go ahead. Sometimes it is hard to find avocados that are perfectly ripe when you are having a craving for this meal. No shame in purchasing it.
