Makes Her Daddy Proud!
Jana and the kids got me a book with grilling recipes for Christmas. I was cooking Swiss Burgers tonight and needed something to round out the meal. I was trying to find just the perfect thing, and this was it...

For some reason, I got to thinking about Chuy's Creamy Jalapeño Dip and began searching for a copycat recipe, which I found here. There are several versions on the recipezaar.com site, most of which admit to not being the original. (Besides, unless you want to nail fish to your ceiling, it wouldn't be the same anyway!!) However, if you find that your city name does not appear here or here (click on option 4), I would declare this a very good substitute. But don't take my word for it, take Grace's:


The only picture missing is the one where she picked up her spoon and began eating the dip like soup. That's my girl!

Creamy Jalapeño - Baby's first formula!
One of our family's favorite recipes! We copycat-ed it several years ago and Ben loves it!
Just so you will know. I made a batch of this to dip into during the unfortunate Cowboy's game. Then Monday was our regular Chuy's night and I brought some of the original home for a comparison test.
It's very close:
Chuy's is a tad hotter (I used fresh de-seeded jalapeños which were relatively mild - C uses canned j's with seeds for everything).
I had to use some Miracle Whip when I ran out of Mayo, and I can taste that difference.
Mine is greener, and thicker (and the longer it sits in the fridge the thicker it gets). I'll up the buttermilk next time.
Muy bueno!
