Delicious Mango Recipes from the @Mango_Board

We spent an afternoon with Mango.org in Chicago to taste and learn a little more about this tasty tropical fruit thatme and my kids love so much. In fact, our family loves mangoes so much that we buy them by the case! My 5 year old was so excited as she helped me slice, dice and eat her favorite fruit and I wanted to make sure that we share some of what we tasted, as well as a delicious Mango Coconut Baked Oatmeal recipe from Momma Cuisine.
