I’ve never had a mango crisp before, but it sounded like it would work, so I chopped up the mangoes, tossed in some blueberries and couldn’t resist grating up a fresh hunk of ginger I had in the fridge. It was delish and could not be any easier to make.
This recipe will be your new summer staple. It’s perfect for bbq’s, cookouts, and also makes a rather yummy breakfast (if I do say so myself).

July 28, 2008 at 6:12 amRemember a while ago when you asked about picture advice and then you got all this advice from readers on how your pictures will look better, yada yada yada. I HATE that you got this advice because now I want to pull your food from the screen and start eating immediately. Seriously awesome pictures — this looks great.

July 28, 2008 at 7:02 amI luv how easy this sounds! I have a bunch of mangoes sitting around since I’ve been to lazy to peel them up. Thanks for the perfect inspiration!

July 28, 2008 at 8:20 amLeticia – Thank You!! And thanks to everyone who chimed in to help me learn how to take a better picture. I must admit though, the picture thing is a lot easier in the summer b/c of the longer days… I just go right out to the balcony and use the day light to help me. It’s when I have to take photos in doors that I really struggle with the lighting. Anyhow, we’ll see what happens this winter;).
Culinary Wannabe – Fruit Crisp is one of the easiest dishes when it comes to baking (and they’re super forgiving)!!

July 31, 2008 at 9:56 amAwesome idea and picture! I happen to have a mango and blueberries lying around. Hmmmm now my gears are turning!
PS the inside picture thing. I purchased a reveal lite bulb and put it in an old office lamp (the kind you can bend). I move it to the kitchen to take my nighttime shots. Not exactly the sun but gives you a boost of light!

And thanks for the indoor lighting tip… I’ve been dreading the shorter days!

August 8, 2008 at 11:35 amMust try this weekend. It looks and sounds divine. I’m wondering about your thoughts on coconut oil instead of canola in this recipe. It seems like it would work well, especially with the pineapple coconut ice cream.
FYI – I mentioned your wonderful site in a recent post.
Dani
August 9, 2008 at 6:03 amMartha – I think coconut oil is a great idea for this recipe… wish had thought to do it myself! It will definitely work:) Thanks for the mention!
