Swimming Mangoes

Swimming Mangoes is a refreshing breakfast/dessert/anytime snack!

2 cups of chopped mango (we used Champagne mangoes but any kind will work)
1 YOUNG thai coconut, just use the water and not the jelly/meat ( here's how to open, its a lot easier than you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THEdI_gSNQ4 )


Put the chopped mango into a bowl and pour coconut water over them.
Devour!!

Cauliflower French Fries

Cauliflower French Fries

By Jeff and Leah



I made these yummy "french fries" the other day with Anna Lisa's delicious Veggie Pita and Jeff and I have never looked back!

Once again we must give credit where credit is due.....
Delighted Momma is a fabulous place and I couldn't get off the computer!

When I think of a crunchy salty snack... chips, french fries and carb loaded goodies (everything I have been craving this pregnancy but resisting) come to mind. I recently heard about cauliflower poppers and I knew I had to try them.

I have said before that I am not a big fan of raw cauliflower (yucky) but after I made skinny mashed potatoes using cauliflower I knew it was my new favorite lo-carb substitute.

What you will need:

  • 2 heads of cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Wash and clean the cauliflower. Cut off and discard the stem. Cut the cauliflower up into small pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the cauliflower pieces and thoroughly coat each piece.
  4. Place cauliflower pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for one hour and turn 3 times during cooking until each piece has a nice brown coloring. The browner they are the better.
  5. Remove from oven and enjoy!
Make them! Dip them, OR NOT!  They are that good!
