Week of August 21, 2017 - Weekly Meal Ideas


It’s Hatch Chile time!  A few years ago, we discovered Hatch chiles and we have never been the same since!  Hatch chile refers to varieties of chiles grown in Hatch Valley, New Mexico.  The soil and growing conditions in Hatch Valley contribute to the unique flavor of the chiles grown there.  Hatch Valley is at 4,000 foot elevation, so it gets hot during the day, and then cools off at night.  This hot to cool condition gives the chiles a unique taste compared to peppers from other parts of New Mexico.  Locals will tell you real Hatch chiles are the best and it isn’t a Hatch chile if it’s not from Hatch Valley!

Grab some while you can (get them roasted if possible…or roast them yourself!) during Hatch Chile season and we will provide some great-tasting meal ideas to help you enjoy them!  This week includes a mouthwatering Hatch Chile Burger…it is absolutely delicious!

Help make mealtime super-easy with the Slow Cooker Asian Chicken over Riced Cauliflower, and then turn the leftovers into the fantastic Asian Spiced Chicken Salad — both were a huge hit with the whole family!  The Charred Tomato Salad, Farmers’ Market Fish Packet and Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges are all great ways to take advantage of the fresh, in-season ingredients…they are all so good, we can’t wait to make them again!

Plus, the Moroccan Spaghetti Squash is a delicious way to keep your August Superfood Challenge alive!
