The best way to cut mango is as follows:
Cut off the cheeks (either side of the seed)
The take a knife and cut a checker board design into the mango cheek just deep enough NOT to pierce the outer skin. e.g cut three vertical line then three horizontal.
Now push the half inside out, so it makes little squares that you can just eat off without getting your hands dirty. This is also great for kids. it looks really pretty too.
After that just slice the skin on the seed and peel and eat flesh as you go. Also a great treat for babies older than 10 months.
Monday - Chicken and Rice casserole
Tuesday - Going out, it's opera night!
Wednesday - Quesadillas and homemade salsa
Thursday - Shepherds Pie
Friday - Working late, so husband is on his own
Finally, there is a GREAT blog for families and recipes compiled in a simple format. Thanks for all of the yummy recipes!
your filipina chiming in w/ mango tips, seeing as it IS the national fruit of the philippines and i was mucho allergic to it for crazy amounts of years. but yes, the best way to slice is to cut both sides/cheeks off, leaving the oval pit in middle. hold the mango with the stem side down and then slice one side of the pit and then slice the other side. filipinos don't usually cube them, they cut thin slices, but sometimes i just get really lazy and scoop it out the way i eat a kiwi. (and i've heard/read the frozen mango cubes at trader joes are divine!) hope this helps! i'll try to post a vegetarian menu for you some time!
I agree with angie - the Oxo mango slicer is the best. I used to waste a lot of mango and always get frustrated until I got this thing. You can find it at Amazon.com; that's where I got mine.
I just found your blog and think it is great. I have been trying to organize something like this with my friends, but they were not interested. I love to cook, but hate the obligation of it. If I do not plan, then I am screwed and we don't eat anything but tomato soup that week - it is a sad truth.
I would like to see more recipes posted so I would know exactly what to make - especially the Chicken Masala! I need a good recipe!
Because I hate always having to decide - I have now opened one night up to my children for them to decide. So each child gets to choose a meal that week. That way they are excited and will actually eat and that is one less meal I have to plan. It works for us!
I hope I can participate even though I do not know you!
jen - please participate! by now I don't know very many of my sweet readers who post all the time...it's such a great community and anyone and everyone is MORE than welcome. I look forward to seeing your contributions!
as for recipes...I'll try to post more...but just so you know, I totally cheat and buy a jarred simmer sauce from Trader Joe's for chicken masala. ;)
good idea having your kids choose meals - that definitely helps with the planning and is a good way to get them involved!
