Yes, another Hatch chile recipe because when Hatch Yes, another Hatch chile recipe because when Hatch chile season is over, what am I going to do?

One of my favorite things to eat as a kid was creamed corn straight out of the can. I know that probably sounds gross to some people, but I loved it then and I still love creamed corn now.

So this Creamed Corn Pasta with Hatch Chile is basically my adult version. Fresh corn, shallots, garlic and Hatch chile are cooked down until creamy, then mixed with cream cheese, Parmesan, butter and pasta. The Hatch chile adds just a little heat without overpowering the sweetness of the corn.

And if you can’t find Hatch chiles, use jalapeño or whatever green chile you like. It’s really just there to give the pasta a little kick.

🌱 A Greener Bite of Sustainability

Make sure you scrape those corn cobs! The corn milk and little bits left behind help make the sauce creamy, and you’re getting everything you can out of each ear instead of throwing half the good stuff away.

Please tell me I’m not the only person who loved canned creamed corn as a kid 😂

@central_market is covered in Hatch chiles right n @central_market is covered in Hatch chiles right now, so obviously I took that as a personal assignment.

These Hatch Chile Crepes are filled with scrambled eggs, then covered with a savory ground beef and roasted Hatch chile sauce, Monterey Jack, Colby, and a little cilantro at the end.

As someone who loves spicy food, Hatch chiles are not exactly Thai chile-level spicy to me, but that is actually the point here. They bring a gentle heat and roasted green chile flavor without turning breakfast into a punishment, which feels especially correct when Dallas is sitting above 100 degrees.

You can also make these your own. Keep the beef, swap in chicken, or leave the meat out completely for a vegetarian version.

🌱A Greener Bite of Sustainability
This recipe is flexible enough to work with what you already have. Use Hatch chiles while they are in season, or swap in another mild pepper when they are not. Less rigid cooking means fewer extra grocery runs and less food waste.

Are you team Hatch chile everything, or do you need the season to calm down?

I’ve been on a Korean sweet treat kick lately, and I’ve been on a Korean sweet treat kick lately, and these Coconut Jasmine Cream Buns are exactly the kind of dessert I want when Dallas is acting like the surface of the sun.

They’re made with soft milk bread, brushed with a simple glaze, coated in shredded coconut, and filled with jasmine whipped cream. I’m not usually a big jasmine tea person, but jasmine in dessert is different. It’s light, floral, and subtle without making you feel like you accidentally ate a candle.

This is not a quick 20-minute recipe, but it is manageable if you space it out. Make the dough ahead, let it proof overnight, infuse the cream, and fill the buns once everything is completely cool.
Soft, airy, cold cream in the middle, coconut on the outside — honestly, not a bad way to survive a heat wave.

🌱A Greener Bite of Sustainability
Making the dough ahead and spacing out the steps makes this recipe feel much more doable. It also turns simple ingredients like flour, milk, cream, and coconut into something that feels thoughtful without needing a long list of specialty items.

Are you a jasmine dessert person, or does floral flavor need to stay far away from your food?

Coming from Louisiana, I was not about to pass up Coming from Louisiana, I was not about to pass up Natchitoches meat pies.

And yes, it’s pronounced Nack-uh-dish.

These little meat pies are filled with seasoned beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic, warm spices, and Tabasco, then baked until golden and served with a spicy buttermilk dip.

The dip is where things get very Southern very quickly: buttermilk, mayo, sour cream, celery salt, lemon juice, scallions, and more Tabasco. The pies are good on their own, but with the dip? Absolutely better.

They look more complicated than they are, which is always appreciated when you want something homemade but don’t feel like spending all day in your kitchen.

Have you ever had a Natchitoches meat pie?
