- For the chipotle spice blend: Mix together the sugar, chipotle powder, coriander, cumin, lime zest, granulated garlic and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl and set aside.

CHIPOTLE CORN SALAD WITH GRILLED BACON
If there's a vegetable that loves the grill, it's corn. Caramelizing the natural sugars, adding a little bit of chipotle heat, then kissing it with a little bacon . . . the only thing I warn you is that you cannot live on this alone. You must eat other things.

Steps:
- Carefully peel back the husks from the corn without detaching them from the bottom. Remove the silk from the corn, fold the husks back around the ears, and soak the ears in water for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Weigh down the ears so they are fully submerged.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high.
- Drain the corn, open the husks, and dry the ears with paper towels. Fold the husks back over the corn and grill, turning often, for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning 3 times.
- While the corn is grilling, grill the bacon on the other half of the grill until crispy and golden brown and the poblanos and scallions until charred. Remove all items and set aside.
- Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cob, finely dice the scallions, seed and dice the poblano, and chop the bacon into bite-size pieces, placing everything in a large bowl. Mix in the bell pepper and onion.
- Whisk together all the dressing ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Dress the salad lightly and serve.
CREAMED CORN WITH BACON AND CHIPOTLE
I love creamed corn, but I don't like to use the term "creamed corn," because it may call to mind some slop from a can. But, come on - there's nothing like the fresh taste of sweet corn bathed in luxurious cream. Add in some spice from chipotle peppers, as well as everyone's favorite ingredient - bacon - and this recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! (This is my original recipe. Also, it is perfectly delicious without the chipotle if you don't like spicy food.)

Steps:
- Cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium-low heat until the bacon is soft and much of the fat is rendered. Remove about half to 2/3 of the bacon fat, leaving about a Tablespoon. (Be strong! Resist the urge to leave in the bacon fat. You're adding butter and cheese shortly, and - trust me -the dish WILL get too greasy).
- Add onion and red bell pepper and continue to saute until vegetables are soft and bacon is slightly crisp, about 5 minutes more.
- Melt in the butter, then tumble in your corn kernels, along with the garlic and chipotle. Turn the heat to medium and saute until the corn begins to get a bit soft, about 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat to high and stir in the cream, chicken broth, sugar, and black pepper (hold off on the salt for now). Bring to a boil and cook until the liquid has thickened and reduced by half. Taste the mixture for texture and salt level. Cook longer if necessary, adding some more half & half if needed (As an alternative to more half & half, you can add more chicken broth, or even low-fat milk). Add a pinch of salt if necessary (Note: Be careful with the salt - keep in mind the bacon and chicken broth contain salt, and so does the parmesan you'll be adding in a moment, so you may only need to add a small amount of salt. You can always add more salt at the end, but removing it ain't so easy!).
- When the corn is cooked and sauce is clinging to the corn, remove from the heat and stir in cheese. (Note: Never boil liquids after adding cheese; the cheese's oils may separate).
- Taste and adjust salt & pepper, sugar, and/or chipotle. Serve warm, garnished with chopped chives or parsley.
