![]() I used Ataulfo mangoes which are small and sweet, and unique not only for their s-shape and honey-colored hue, but also because their pit is a lot thinner than traditional mangoes which means you get more yummy mango flesh for your buck. While the chicken’s doin’ its thang, turn your attention to zee mangoes. Sistah don’t mess around with propane tanks! Set the cooked chicken aside to cool for a bit, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Still waiting for Ben to make sure ours is good to go for the season. Saute for 4 minutes per side, or until done, or fire up the grill and give those babies a nice sizzle. Start the Cashew Chicken Mango Salad by brushing 1lb chicken breasts (about 3 small ones) with extra virgin olive oil then seasoning with salt & pepper on both sides. The only thing that’s missing is a table and chairs outside some cute cafe to enjoy it at! The combo of fresh flavors, plus a seasoned chicken breast for staying power, makes this the perfect light lunch or dinner. This is totally a salad I would pay good money for at a cafe, but it’s so easy to make at home. Mango Cashew Chicken Salad combines sugary-sweet mangoes with simply seasoned-then-sauteed (or grilled – 75 and sunny today – whee!) chicken, buttery avocado, and creamy cashews in a hearty, healthy salad drizzled with homemade Honey-Lime Vinaigrette. Therefore we’ve vowed to “detox” this week by eating lots of vegetables and fruit, plus I’ve got a full lineup of healthy, wholesome dinners planned for us starting with Cashew Chicken Mango Salad. It’s just as well because Ben and I are both still feeling rather, well, puffy, from our trip down south. ![]() Red faced, I bent at the knees and retrieved the sign, then slapped it in place of a 6-pack and high-tailed it outta there. It took me a good 10 seconds to figure out it was my protruding belly that had caused the accident, and not some rogue child or a bird that had flown in from the parking lot which was now wreaking havoc on unstable cheese signs throughout the store. If it was under $10, it was totally going into the cart! A too-tight twist of the hips later and a sign advertising the price of a fancy cheddar that was nestled into the beer tower came crashing down, along with my dignity. Being the craft beer supporting wife that I am, I zipped over and began circling the tower of ale looking for a price tag. I was grocery shopping by myself and perusing the cheese section, when out of the corner of my eye I spotted one of Ben’s favorite beers on sale nearby (Bell’s Two Hearted). My baby bump took down its first victim this weekend – a cheese sign at Whole Foods. ![]()
