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. Oven-roasted salmon with a sticky sweet and spicy glaze. Serve over rice and top with a sweet delicious mango salsa adorned with fresh lime juice. A perfect, light, and healthy meal. Salmon is so good for you: Great source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids Great source of Protein High in B Vitamins High in Potassium High in Selenium Mangos are one of my favorite fruits! I love them plain. They are great too served with lime juice and chili sprinkled over. Another…

Jack & Coke BBQ Sauce
This Jack & Coke BBQ Sauce was created in an attempt to come up with a great summer BBQ sauce.

Tortilla Soup
There are many different versions of Tortilla Soup. Feel free to improvise this recipe to your taste. Simple, warming, and delicious. Best garnished of course with crispy corn tortillas, and I also love to add in some cilantro, feta, and if I have them sliced avocadoes. A little squeeze of fresh lime juice brightens things up perfectly. I have used dried Pasilla Chiles in this recipe, which is sometimes hard to find here in our normal grocery stores in Canada. I buy mine at the Mexican Market close to our house, but you could also likely order them online if you are in a more remote area. They are also…
