CEIMB - Mango Lassi

-
One for me, one for Chandler!

Recipe chosen this week by Leslie of
lethallydelicious.blogspot.com

Check out Leslie's blog.  She always has something wonderful cooking up in her kitchen.  I was so glad she chose this colorful, delicious drink for this week for our CEiMB group because it just hit the spot here in Alabama.  I made it Saturday afternoon as a treat for my DH because it was about 99 degrees outside here.  That is hot even for Alabama in the summer! 

I love mangoes, but to me they are so messy to work with.  Anyone have any tips as to how to get that seed out without making a huge mess, please fill me in!  This was easy to make.  Tasted more like a smoothie than a drink, but we loved it.  Perfect afternoon snack.  Try it for yourself.  It really takes only seconds to mix up in your blender!

As you can see, we did not have much left over!

Ingredients


2 ripe, sweet mangos
1 1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
2 cups ice (1 tray of ice)
Directions
Peel and dice the mango and puree in the blender. Add the rest of the ingredients and puree until the ice is crushed and the drink is frothy. Serve in tall glasses with additional ice, if desired.

Looks great, getting ready to make ours now and will have it posted tomorrow. I love that it is mango!!! Yours looks beautiful, so suppose I should round up some nice glassware for this and not just the Flintstone Jelly glasses I was planning to use.

Oh, no! I just realized I didn't do CEiMB this week. Looks good and pretty easy, so maybe I can remedy this!

Really looking forward to making this tonight, especially because it's sooooo easy to prepare! :) Love mango's, so this should be delicious!

Not sure if I have enough honey around though, used up about a cup of honey on two batches of undercooked 'ontbijtkoek'.... :(

We like this as well. Actually, Ellie gave directions on working with the mango. It seems you end up tossing more out than you use.
I kept jabbing the knife at it to see if I could get any more mango meat ... no success :(

Glad you enjoyed this! I didn't try any but my hubby drank it and enjoyed it. I just don't do yogurt, but I think maybe these would be good with ice cream instead. More like a milkshake....

Mmm...this looks fantastic! I'm glad it helped you cool down on a HOT day! I so miss the 90's with high humidity...not! Thanks for cooking (blending?) along with me this week!

THESE were so refreshing. Made mine with peaches cause no more mangos in PoDunk USA.

The hint of honey was really tasty. Yours look delicious.

Another Ellie success story for everyone or everyone, I have seen, so far.

Ellie has recipes that are quick and easy with ingredients, we can get and that taste good and this did. I hadn't realized just how good mango is.

It has been crazy hot in DC as well, so this was the perfect treat for these hot summer days.

I'll tell you, I just cannot get over the heat wave we've been having here in GA. I was even in IL over the weekend and it was up over 100. Ew. Too hot!

This looks like the perfect remedy :)

Hope you have a great weekend!

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

-
Image
This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes. ...

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc...

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to...
