    Maple Chipotle Glazed Salmon with Mango Salsa

    I had some mangos that were ripe that I needed to use up, and that is what inspired me to make this Maple Chipotle Glazed Salmon with Mango Salsa.

They are great too served with lime juice and chili sprinkled over. Another…

    Tuna Poke Bowls

    I love Tuna Poke Bowls! My husband and I fell in love with Poke a few years back when we were in Hawaii. In fact, I think we had it EVERY single day of our trip after our first introduction. If you haven’t tried it yet, you really should. It is so good. My youngest son and I often have these bowls as a quick lunch or supper. He absolutely loves sushi, so this is a great little quick bowl to make if you don’t want to pay to eat out or mess around with rolling sushi rolls at home. We picked up some sushi-grade tuna on the way home…
