Hatch Chile Recipes

Hatch season is winding down and I have a few more recipes I wanted to share with you guys. I got another email from Central Market today announcing the arrival of red Hatch Chiles…so, I will probably have a few more evenings of experimentation before the season ends.

The first recipe I adapted from the leftovers of my Hatch Chile Beer Can Chicken dinner, but no worries, you can make the leftover ingredients in no time at all.

Happy Eating! Continue reading

Summer Lake Memories

It’s still pretty damn hot outside…but apparently it’s the end of summer! We haven’t seen a day over 100 in a few weeks but 95 is still a bit too warm for my liking. While I’m still holding out for that crisp fall weather I thought I would reminisce on my favorite lake moments!

Oh, and it might be time to step up and buy a new camera…mine now has a lovely gray smudge beneath the lens! Perfect excuse for an upgrade!! Continue reading

Fajita Turkey Burgers

Another late night and another successful recipe from Cooking Light…their Fajita Turkey Burgers were super tasty! I was running out of ideas for things to cook since I’ve been “attempting” to eat healthier in lieu of our debaucherous Labor Day weekend! 🙂

Soooo a burger sounded good (a healthy one of course), and Cooking Light’s Fajita Turkey Burger just hit the spot. Continue reading

Hatch Chile Beer Can Chicken

It’s Hatch season…and that means it’s time for spicy goodness at Central Market’s annual Hatch Chile Festival. This is one of my favorite festivals because it signals the “almost” end of summer…AND I get to try a ton of amazing samples, all made with Hatch Chiles.

Hatch Chiles are these delicious creations from Hatch, New Mexico that are in season between August and October. There is so much flavor packed in these tasty peppers that lend so much depth to any dish. They come in different varieties from mild to hot. The hot chiles really can make your brow sweat, which can be surprising considering the size of the pepper (but I’m not complaining).

So what better excuse to try out some new recipes then Hatch season and the Hatch Chile Festival!!! Continue reading
