Colorful. I love colorful food.
Tasteful. I love tasteful food. (Who doesn’t right?!)
What you see above is what came straight out of the slow cooker. No styling, no color editing…what you see is what you get. I think this is slow cooker food at its finest!
Oh…and the #2 reason that I love slow cooking…it’s usually “dump and run.” This is one such recipe…and I love that it literally is no fuss. No need to peak, stir, vent…nothing.
And the #1 reason…I can go about my afternoon and deal with the “attitudes of witching hour” without having to fuss with dinner prep.
But really they should be a tie. #1 and #2 reasons are equally important for this busy mama!
Oh and before you begin, here are my helpful tips for How to Choose and Cut a Mango.
Bon Appetit!

Can frozen mango chunks be used instead of fresh?
