Found these beauties on the road while running.

Mango Season is Back

Aloha.  It’s mango season in Hawaii and I’ve been collecting mangos galore.

Our neighbor has kindly gifted me over a dozen mangos over the last two weeks from the mango tree in his yard, and I’ve collected mangos on the road during my morning runs.  There is a huge mango tree that spills over the yard and drops its treasure onto the main road that I run, almost daily.  A few days ago I hit the jackpot, finding 5 mangos.  People were giving me the shaka as I ran passed them holding the mangos in each hand, pumping up Diamond Head Road.

What to do with all these mangos?  Eat freshly cut, make smoothies, add to oatmeal, cook with chicken, and of course make mango bread.

Here is a simple mango bread recipe that we whipped up for your pleasure.
