Mango Salsa



We really do love mango.

I'm not certain what it is about this fruit that is so enticing.

Maybe it's their beautiful color! 

Seriously!  Look at the picture!  The yellow, green, red, and orange  . . .

they're amazing!

And they can sometimes be a little expensive.

But not necessarily in the summer.

That's when the mangos are the best!

Yesterday, the girl cherub and I bought a box of mangos.

Now, we like mango . . .but my boy cherub is the one who really digs mango!

But he's not at home this summer.

So with that in mind, I needed to come up with some things to make with our many mangos.

One of the things I want to try is mango agua fresco.

I think it would taste great!

But until I figure out how to do that, I want to share with you the recipe for mango salsa that my girl cherub made.

The Mr. and my boy cherub are gone, so we girls made fish tacos for dinner.

Topped with mango salsa.

She looked at different recipes and discovered they were all about the same.  She really went by taste and the quantities are an estimate . . .except for the mango!

We thought it was a hit!

It was not only delicious on the fish tacos, but it was also tasty on the salty corn chips!

Enjoy the sweet-ripened mango this summer!



Mango Salsa

1/4 of a red onion, finely diced

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.  Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity.  It is a wonderful experience!  And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant.  It's delish! So back to the casserole.  After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe!  The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret!  It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr.  Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure!  When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy!  Especial
