It’s Hatch chile season and our local stores are overflowing with roasted peppers and delicious, hatch-enhanced products. I’ve seen chile mac and cheese at restaurants, but I decided to fake up my own version and it was delish.

This recipe is so easy, it’s cheating. The original recipe used puff pastry, but I found the combination with the Gruyère, which is a very oily cheese, was just too greasy.

During the first oh, 13 weeks of pregnancy I cooked maybe once a week. And I had this bad habit of forgetting key ingredients like oil … Continue reading
