Mango Salsa
Mango Salsa
My mango salsa is to die for. It pairs great with fish such as salmon, mahi mahi, tilapia, swordfish; shrimp, grilled pork chops, citrus-marinated chicken, and very obviously tacos. If serrano peppers are to spicy for you, they can be replaced with jalapeños.
Ingredients
- 3 yellow mangoes peeled and diced
- 2 serrano peppers finely chopped
- 1/4 cup white onion finely chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper finely chopped
- 3 green onions finely chopped
- 5 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped
- 1 lime juiced
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Refrigerate for an hour before serving.
Croissant, Bagel, and English Muffin French Toast
Serve the French toast with a dusting of powdered sugar and maple syrup.
Alex’s Homemade Creole Seasoning
Alex’s Homemade Creole Seasoning
This is my personal recipe for my salt-free creole seasoning. I never really add salt to my spice mixes; mostly because if I want more of the spice flavor, it will increase the salt intake. Salt to me should be used separately. This creole seasoning is great on chicken, pork, beef, turkey, shrimp, and fish of all types. The main difference between creole and cajun seasoning is that Cajun is usually just paprika, cayenne, salt, pepper, and sometimes oregano. Creole seasoning will have garlic, onion, basil, and thyme in addition.

Green Buffalo Wings
Green Buffalo Wings
I was making different marinated wings at work for the stuperbowl at the crack of dawn and I asked myself, “why not green buffalo wings?” So I made it happen. The sauce is just like the orange buffalo sauce made with a cayenne pepper base, but now with green tabasco. I added a bunch of minced garlic and a serrano pepper to give it an extra kick.
Equipment
- immersion blender
Ingredients
Wings
- 3 lbs chicken wings
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp dried cilantro
- 2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp paprika
Green Buffalo Sauce
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 1 serrano pepper chopped
- 1/2 cup jalapeño tabasco sauce
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Mix the spices together and season the chicken wings. Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet lined in foil.
- Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 30 minutes. Flip the wings.
- Bake for another 30 minutes until crispy.
- Melt the butter in a small pot on low heat. Add in the garlic and serrano. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the jalapeño tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, and cilantro. Purée with an immersion blender and turn off the heat.
- Toss the wings in the sauce.
