mango fool

Hey, hey!  It  sure feels like ages since I’ve been here on my little space.  Really it’s only been a couple of weeks, but they’ve been busy around our parts.  Before I share more about that, let’s get into the reason for this post — it’s secret recipe club time!  The recipe I selected, mango fool, is ah-mazing.  And it is made with only 2 ingredients.  AND it’s another naturally sweetened treat.  I’m really into those right now.

Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of the ingredients – heavy whipping cream and pureed mango.  On their own they are just okay, but when combined, they turn into a magically refreshing, indulgent treat.  Seriously, I could not get over how amazing it tasted!

The recipe came way of Marsha, the blogger behind The Harried Cook.  She shares that growing up her grandma would make something similar to this treat so it always sparks memories when she eats it.  I love how food does that.  Marsha is a wife and mother of two young girls (one little girl named Zoe like mine!) and chronicles her recipes as a way to later share them with her girls.  Love that.

With how simple this recipe is, and how amazing the outcome was, I hope you give it a try!  If you do, report back and let me know how much you loved it too. 🙂

So life – busy, busy lately!  Summer is such a fun time with the kids.  Recently we’ve been peach picking, blueberry picking and exploring new outdoor spots to walk/let Hunter ride bike.  The heat comes (90+ F) and goes (mid 70s-80s F), so whenever it’s more bearable we are outside.  The biggest thing as of late is that we listed our house to sell.  Super exciting, but also super stressful.  That means lots of projects to get it ready, things to fix and items to box up for an eventual move.  We’ve loved our house for 7 years now, but we’re definitely ready for something bigger and with more property to let these energized kids run around a lot more.  And so I can get chickens!  🙂  I’m sure I’ll have more to come on that in the next month or two.

What’s new with you lately?  Have you tried a mango fool before?  Are you a mango fan?
