...is one of my favorite colors. Especially the beautiful blush on these fresh mangoes! We are lucky to have them because it is very early in the year, but this woman's tree in Kihei has produced its first crop. Can you believe we got these beauties for about a $1 apiece? I've already eaten two. These are destined for a mango shrimp recipe my mom sent me and, if I can eke out enough, for our favorite mango salsa recipe. Delicious on grilled fish. 
One of my favorite kitchen pieces is my orange Le Creuset Dutch oven. Bruce and his mom gave this to me for Christmas a few years ago and it gets A LOT of use. From caramelizing onions to browning meat or making stew, this pot has see it all. Last week I wasn't feeling too great, so I made an easy batch of homemade chicken soup:
Funny thing about the soup, though. The recipe called for two cups of noodles. I added the two cups, which didn't seem like enough, so I tossed in the whole bag. Well, I was definitely out of it because I forgot how much they swell up - 10 minutes later I had a noodle casserole in my pot. Nothing that adding a LOT more chicken stock wouldn't fix. It made a ton of soup - enough for two dinners and two lunches. I've had my fill of chicken soup for awhile.
