When I was at Trader Joe’s the other day , I picked up one of my favorite things

mango chunks - 3 mango chunks - 4

I can’t believe it’s been a few months since I’ve had these orange gems in my life. I just kind of forgot to replenish my stash and buy some. Bad move on my part. Glad I’ve rectified that problem.

I could take down half the bag at a sitting if I didn’t care about possibly turning myself orange

mango chunks - 5 mango chunks - 6

I love the texture of frozen fruit and I think it actually gets sweeter upon thawing. Could be my imagination though.

I prefer my grapes frozen

frozen grapes - 7 frozen grapes - 8

And I like bananas best when frozen

Vanilla Avocado Banana “Ice Cream”

Vanilla Avocado Banana “Ice Cream” - 9 Vanilla Avocado Banana “Ice Cream” - 10

And mango is no exception: frozen please

frozen mango chunks - 11 frozen mango chunks - 12

The chunks just kind of melt in my mouth as they unfreeze. Mmm, good !

You can pair bananas + mangoes for

And apples are also back

Raw Vegan GF Apple Crumble is really good

And it’s easy and no-bake and I prefer it to baked crumbles and crisps

But mango anything will always steal the show for me:

Jar of Mango Butter - 21 Jar of Mango Butter - 22 Four Jars of Mango Ginger Chutney - 23 Four Jars of Mango Ginger Chutney - 24

Make Mango Ginger Maple Tofu with the chutney (or use apricot preserves or peach jam or similar if you don’t have mango chutney)

Stacked Mango Ginger Maple Tofu - 25 Stacked Mango Ginger Maple Tofu - 26

And make No Bake White Chocolate & Mango Cookie Dough Bites with dried mango

Told you I love mango and I’m glad it’s back!

“Sooo excited to try the caramel cheesecake!”

Enjoy your sweet treats ladies!

From my last post, Disses & Kisses , thanks for the support about my recipes being swiped and re-posted on other blogs.

What’s happening is somehow the spam content farms are getting a hold of my content and then just farming it out and posting it on their own sites but as Evan pointed out, it’s likely not even a human doing it. Grrr. Spam and spammers are the worst!

Good thing there were some Kisses of the Week , too.

Questions:

  1. Any foods you’ve forgotten about lately and are glad to have back in your life or need to reincorporate back into your life, asap?

I’ll be honest, I do love Vegenaise but recently I was out, didn’t want to make a special trip to Whole Foods just for it, and picked up a jar of Miracle Whip at the grocery store. And yes, I loved it growing up, and love it still.

And also, Golden Grahams . Childhood staple for me that I haven’t had in about a decade!

Pile of Golden Grahams - 29 Pile of Golden Grahams - 30

Yes, there is a recipe coming using them

  1. Do you like mangoes?

Clearly, I do. Big time.

Enjoy your weekend!
