Grilled Mango Salad
Mango is one of the more versatile fruits and I love using them. In this recipe I pair it with a goat cheese mousse and a vinaigrette. The mousse sounds intimidating but it really is simple. This recipe is for two large salads or four side salads. Ingredients- 2 ripe mangos 5 ounces of goat cheese 2 tablespoons of half and half 1 tablespoon of sour cream 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper 1/4 cup of pepitas (roasted pumpkin seeds) Spring Mix Greens 2 tablesp
New Project, New Friends, New Flavors
We are hard at work on our next cookbook, Beach Blanket Brunch, which is scheduled to hit the market very soon. While we have been preparing, testing and photographing a wide variety of delicious and fun brunch dishes we have had the opportunity to explore a broader definition of beach food. Last week we did an impromptu visit to the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area of Alabama. On our short visit, Christa and I made some new friends that we would like to thank. Nora, the owner
