The Daily Eat: Mango Gingerbread with Macadamia Nut Streusel..

I love the flavors in gingerbread, so I can only imagine that the addition of mangoes and macadamia nuts would make it just that much better!

PS: The Daily Eat has really turned into a labor of love. I’ve been dieting for about a week and a half now (-6 lbs!) and all food that I can’t eat looks that much better! Anything for you though. No, really. My suffering is nothing as long as you all have some food porn to look at! (I kid, I kid.)

Round Up: Cinco de Mayo Eats + Drinks.

Up until May 1999 I had heard of Cinco de Mayo, but never celebrated the day. That was my first year in Oklahoma and it became evident rather quickly that this wasn’t just another ordinary day. Restaurants host outdoor tent parties, people hold backyard fiestas and it’s all about the food and being together. With that in mind, I set about putting together this roundup of eats and drinks. (And oh, those lovely banners in the above photo are available here. via Simple Lovely)

The Daily Eat: Mango Tart.


I have to admit that I had never tasted a fresh mango until a few years ago. That’s when my grandmother of all people introduced me to them. And all I can say is holy yummy sweetness! I hope you enjoy the recipes I have lined up for Mango Week!

I love how the mango is the star of this tart and only set off slightly with a bit of kiwi and layer of pastry cream. It looks so refreshing and light.
