Mango Madness

Don't be afraid of cutting a mango
Mangoes are in season and are very inexpensive right now and I've heard from a few people and I've eavesdropped in the produce aisle enough to know that people are scared of mangoes. They don't know how to cut into them and then there is the stone in the center which really throws people off. Here is my handy picture display of how to prepare a mango. Please know that every time I flip the mango to display the cute little cubes I say "ta daaaa" which makes me laugh and Matt shake his head at me (he says it's in love but I know he's laughing a little too!) But you can feel like a magician too when you've mastered the art of flipping a mango!
