We got a wee bit of rain this afternoon.
And by a ‘wee bit’ I really mean we had a torrential down pour… for 2 hours. Our backyard flooded and Maddie refused to leave the couch.
She does not like storms. Not one bit.
(In other news Maddie got a GLOWING report when I picked her up from doggie camp this morning. She ate all her food, played well with others, and loved getting attention from the counselors. That’s my girl! 
)
Dinner tonight pretty much fit our mood for the rainy evening – laziness. I had to run to Whole Foods to pick up some mangos (more on that below) and grabbed some chicken breasts pre-stuffed with an apple and cherry stuffing.
I just popped them in the oven when I got home and dinner was ready.
The chicken breast came out just a tad dry, but the stuffing was moist and delicious. Derek wasn’t a fan, but I’m not sure he digs the sweet and savory combos as much as I do. 
with the chicken I also prepared steam-in-a-bag brussels sprouts
and parsnips fries(!!)
And those mangos?
I have a case of them!
This month, Whole Foods is celebrating the creamy, buttery, virtuously fiber-free side of mangos with the Mexican Ataulfo mango (also known as yellow mangos). They’re at peak season right now and are about as ripe and delicious as mangos get.
Whole Foods gave me an entire case of mangos with the challenge seeing how many recipes I can come up with – smoothies? salads? sandwiches? – but first I had to taste test one, just to make sure they live up to the hype. I had 1/2 a mango with a piece of toffee for dessert.
The yellow mango was a tad tart, but did live up to it’s buttery nature. I can’t wait to use a few in a future salsa or caribbean stir fry recipe.
If you had an entire case of mangos – what would you do with them? Leave your answer below by Friday morning (3/23) for a chance to win your own case!* I will draw a random winner for my Friday morning post!
*Please note that the winner must live near a Whole Foods in order to collect his/her prize.
Good Luck!

Mango cucumber salad – a mix of mint, mangos, cucumbers, with a dressing of lime, canola oil and honey. So delicious and simple!

I would eat them whole. love fresh mangos. And I could definitely eat a case of them without getting bored.
I think I’d eat most of them plain and make mango salsa with the rest. Mangos are the best!

So… I thought I saw you today at Whole Foods. I was demo-ing Mix1 by the milk/yogurt section. Sorry to creep, but I had to mention this!
I would eat them and maybe share with my family, maybe.

No doubt, mango salsa and mango in my smoothies. Boom!
I think I would make some mango sorbet with some of them. I would also make some mango salsa. I love buying it at the store, but I’ve always wanted to try to make it! My fiance is also a big tilapia fan, so maybe I’d try to incorporate the mango into a tilapia recipe. I can’t leave out eating them straight and juicing them! I’m a HUGE mango fan, and I live right across from a whole foods. I’m so excited about this giveaway!
mango salads, mango smoothies, mangos in yogurt, and just plain mangos!
I like to just eat them plain, in a smoothie or in a salad. I plan to experiment and make a mango salsa since so many people have mentioned that here. It sounds like it would be great.

I would eat it them diced up with cottage cheese for as many breakfasts as I could get out of them!
I don’t live anywhere near a Whole Foods so don’t pick me! BUT mangos in rice wraps are so amazing – I love ‘em with rice noodles, crispy tofu, carrots, cucumber, cilantro, and mango, and slathered in spicy peanut sauce!

I would eat every one of them straight up. I love yellow mangoes!
mango salsa, mango sorbet, mangos straight up! i’d share, too!
I lived in Egypt for three months during mango season – and it was glorious. I would purchase two liters of fresh-squeezed mango juice each morning to drink throughout the day. I would purchase mangos by the bagful each week at various markets so put into fruit salads, make into puddings and mousse, and just eat plain. What I miss the most, however, is the daily mango juice. If I won a case of mangos – there would be a ton of fresh mango juice.
I would eat them for dessert!
Grilled chicken with mango salsa
Mango smoothies, mango salsa… I love mangos!!!
Oh man, I love mangoes. I would prolly end up eating most of them raw. But, mango salsa and mango lassi also sound delicious. My grandmother also makes a mango jam that is to die for. Mmm.
I would eat them diced up I love the flavor. Maybe I’d freeze some and include with banana soft serve too.
Socal Rachel recently posted..Return to Bangkok: Plan B – Jan 20

smoothies seems to be a popular answer-with good reason! I would make those, and some salsa!
Black bean, quinoa, avocado & mango salad. Yum!
I’d use them to put in yogurt, fruit salad and various spring-themed baked goods to share in my office!
I would eat them on their own and in smoothies if my kids let me have any!
Freeze em for smoothies, make some mango salsa and eat um straight up!
I would love to try and make mango lassi
Eat them plain as they are! Great any time of day as a sweet side or snack! I went to a mango farm in Florida once and picked the biggest mango in my life and them subsequently devoured it…
I’m thinking mango muffins!
I’d make smoothies or eat them with plain yogurt.
What wouldn’t I do with a mango if I had a case?! On their own, in yogurt, in a delicious salsa on fish tacos. Yum!
I’d either just eat them plain, or throw them in my morning yogurt!

All mangoes would be turned over to my husband, the world’s #1 mango fan. He prefers them soupy, and likes to slurp them out of a bowl. I would also steal some for smoothies.

Mango in fruit salad might possibly be one of my favorite things!
I would eat most of them plain and unadulterated, but also use a few for smoothies.
Mango salsa, mango sorbet, mango salad with a raspberry vinaigrette … there’s so much you could do! I love mangos!

Best way to eat them is on their own! But I’d also bake some mango muffins or freeze them for a smoothie. Or glaze it on fish!
Eat them fresh or frozen as a snack. Yum!
I would make mango sticky rice!
Mango smoothies! I used to live in Malaysia and there was this store that made mango smoothies with fresh chunks of mango in it – best thing ever.
Oh my gosh, mangoes are my favorite fruit! I would make salads, smoothies, and give plenty of them to my 11 month old son, Charlie, who loves them just as much as his mama:)

Mangoes are my favorite! They’re the perfect summer snack–filling but light and juicy. I eat them plain for the most part, but they’re good with and in a lot of things, too!
I would share them with my new brother-in-law, who moved here in January from the Dominican Republic. He misses mangoes! We don’t get very good ones in Nebraska.
What WOULDN’T I do with them?! I love mangoes – mango salsa, black bean & mango chili, frozen mangoes for smoothies… so many possibilities!
Janine @ThePurpleGiraffe recently posted..Happy Humpday!
ohhhh that is so hard! I would make mango chutney with half of it, and the other half I would peel and freeze to add into my smoothies. I also freeze ‘cubes’ of mashed avocadoes and they go perfectly with a mango/coconut smoothie! You can’t even taste the avocado but it adds a nice creaminess and a nutritional punch
.
Great mixed in granola
A smmoothie would be delish
I’d try it in yogurt
I would cut them up the size of fries, dip them in some dark chocolate, pop them in the fridge – delish dessert!
My boyfriend and I could blow through a pile of these just by peeling them and cutting them into “fries”, then eating them while watching TV, as we’ve done a zillion times before.
I also make a really awesome mango/avocado salsa/salad with red onion and balsamic, which is fresh and healthy to keep stocked in the fridge.
Mangoes are my favorite fruit!!!! I would make chopped cold salads (like quinoa mango and …. not sure yet), I would make smoothies (duh), maybe salsa, ooooo I could freeze them with some dark chocolate! Oh so many ideas! I wonder what mango oats would be like… hmmmm.

Oh… I <3 mangos! First I would try out this recipe I just found for a peach mango salsa (good for chips, chicken or fish). Then I'd probably make mango sorbet!
Mango sorbet, fresh mango slices sprinkled with cinnamon, amazing fruit salads…the possibilities are endless!
Mangoes? I would make a chutney to serve with chicken & brown rice!
Emily recently posted..My Half Marathon Souvenir
I have two major ideas in mind. One is a fruit salsa served with homemade cinnamon tortilla chips! The other is incorporating them into a spicy vegetarian curry and mango chutney dish I’ve been eyeing. Love those mangoes.

I’ve definitely eaten an entire case of mangos before. Sliced up for a snack, mango sticky rice, mango salsa, mango smoothies, I really could eat them endlessly.
I absolutely love these mangos from Mexico and wait all year for them to be available! I’d love to just cut them up and eat them as a snack or for breakfast.
Mexican mangoes make the BEST sorbet, ever. I puree the mangoes with honey and a little sugar, and the juice of 1 lime, and 2 T tequila (it helps prevent ice crystals from forming – I swear!). Chill and churn, and you’ve got some very fine margarita mango sorbet.
Or, I make a mango upside-down cake in a cast iron skillet…caramelized, roasted mangoes are amazing!
That sounds sooo good! I need to get my hands on some tequila and try the sorbet! Also, I added a cast iron skillet to my registry.
You had better have a cast iron skillet on that registry! It’s definitely my most used and loved pan…next to my 7qt faux-Le Crueset dutch oven, of course.
And if you don’t have an ice cream maker, you’re going to need one of those, too!
Eat them with salt (do it)

In Colombia, where my parents live, Mangos are super common. My parents have mango trees in their backyard. It is amazing. So after eating my fair share of them with lime and salt I would use the rest for smoothies, and for my favorite mango salad drssing. For the dressing you need
1 yellorw or red pepper
2 onions
4 cloves of garlic
4 MANGOS
heavy cream
paresley, CILANTRO, and vinegar
sugar
So FREAKING GOOD!!!!!!!
Hi Cristina,
Thanks for the great recipe. My new daughter-in-law is from Columbia and just loves our mangos from our orchard. I wil make this as a surprsie for her.. I hope she too thinks it is Freaking Good…. check out my site should you like to order some of the best mangos, coming soon..

Wow…I love mangos. I would eat several plain, definitely make some mango salsa, break out the blender for some smoothies. I would even figure out a way to get my husband to like them. His fruit intake is limited to apples and melon.

I’d eat them plain, but also bake with them. Mango bread? Yum!
I would eat them. LOL
If I had an entire case of mangos I would first surprise my fiance with them… They are his favorite! And we don’t get them often. I would also make lots of fun smoothie creations.
Hands down mango salsa! I <3 Mango salsa, its good alone, with chips, mixed with cottage cheese, on top a burger or chicken. The list goes on and on. Also, I love it plain, grilled on the grill (durrr), and topped with frozen yogurt theres something special about the way a grilled mango melts the fro-yo…. mmmmm!

Also love it grilled with some pineapple. then there is ice cream, fruit crumbles and rice bowls. So many options!
What would i do with a whole case of mangoes? I would put the case down on the table – get a knife and a spooon – and get to eating lol. No i’d probably finally try to create mango salsa! I have always wanted to, but never been able to cut one up and not eat the whole thing right there
Smoothies galore! And mango muffins.. nom
What wouldn’t I do with them?!
I’ve been on a seafood kick – so some mango salsa for fish would be a must. Smoothies of course. I love mango in greek yogurt with wheatberries. I could go on…
Mango salsa, mango sorbet in my new ice cream maker, and mango smoothies!! I love mangos.

Okay, can I please just say how OBSESSED I am with these mangoes? My boyfriend’s mom, who is from Cuba, introduced me to them. She calls them Champagne Mangoes. They are my absolute favorite – I love the flavor, the texture, the smell. Everything. I actually just bought a couple from Whole Foods the other night!
My new favorite recipe is this tropical quinou salad that has red peppers, red onion, quinoa, mangoes, lime juice, agave nectar, and cilantro. It’s one of those recipes that makes a ton of leftovers, which only taste better as all the flavors marinate together in the fridge. YUM!

What would I do with a case of mangoes…? I would EAT THEM!
Fun fact: did you know that in some parts of rural Indiana (and maybe elsewhere), green bell peppers are called mangoes?! Funny, right? If my grandma asked for a mango and I put an actual mango in her hand, she would look at me like I was crazy!
mangoes are the BOMB dot COM! I love them straight up, in fruit salad, in a leafy green salad with feta grilled chicken, and raspberry vinaigrette, smoothies, yummmm!
I’d use the mango as a post workout lift treat along with my protein shake. You want high glycemic carbohydrates (mango, pineapple, banana) after a lift along with protein to get the optimal results. this would be an ideal treat to bring to the gym instead of the normal banana- yummy!
i don’t think i can win because i’m an employee (haha), BUTTTT i wanted to let you know they are better known as champagne mangos!! we demo-ed them last night in a mango salsa with red onion, bell peppers, cilantro. so so so good
allison @ thesundayflog recently posted..The Happiest Day of My Life.
Wow, almost 200 comments! People must love mangoes!
What would I do with a whole case? In all honesty, I would keep enough on the counter to make 2-3 days worth of eats (salsa for tacos, salads, and fruit leather!!) and halve, dice, and freeze the rest. With spring/ summer around the corner and temps already in the mid-80′s in Charleston I think that mango smoothies/ lassies/ sorbets/ and frozen adult beverages would be best!!

These are my absolute favorite fruit! Last year, thinking 10 for $10 meant you actually had to get 10 mangoes, I lugged home 10 of them. I cut them up and froze the pieces and discovered that frozen mango is the BEST snack ever, especially in this hot DC spring. As much I loved the frozen mango, if I were to win the case, I would be a little more generous and throw a mango-inspired dinner party to share the wealth and let my friends become obsessed as well…and buy 10 for $10 in its entirity

Plain and in smoothies. I love these mangos.
Smoothie
YUM! I love mangos & they are my husband’s favorite! I would definitely make my favorite avocado-mango salsa, then blend some up in a smoothie, followed by topping toast, waffles and even pancakes with them.
Heather @ Housewife Glamour recently posted..Night Owl vs. Early Bird
I would share the mangos with my friends, and would eat it myself with Greek yogurt for breakfast and make a mango salsa for dinners!
I would make mango salsa and toss them into my protein shake.
I never even tried mangoes until about 4 years ago but now I’m addicted. Delicious! I like them plain as “dessert” or on top of greek yogurt with a little granola. Although after reading some of the other comments it occurs to me they would make great adult beverages: mango-infused vodka, white sangria, margaritas… the possibilities are endless!
I LOVE grilled mango…one of my favorite recipes for them can be found here: http://skinnychef.com/recipes/grilled-mango
It even works with a grill pan, if you get it hot enough and oil it real good.
I’d make salsa! Lots and lots of salsa…mmm
Since I lived in Asia for 5 years, I’d definitely make a big serving of Mango Sticky Rice! YUM YUM YUM!
Laurin recently posted..Tasty Thursday Recipe Alert!
Eat them just like they are! I love mangoes. Or freeze them and make smoothies with them!
If I had a case of mangos, I would make this for dinner every night!
You should too! Or you could just make the mango salsa on top. It is awesome.

mango cupcakes?
If I could stop myself from eating one after another I’d try a mango sorbet and definitely Thai style mango salad! Yum!
I’d make lots of mango salsa.
If I had an entire case of mangos I’d make a big batch of mango salsa, pair it with a bowl of tortilla chips and invite over my girlfriends for a much needed girls night in pot-luck style!
P.S. I’m all about sweet + savory/ salty so those stuffed chicken breasts sound tasty to me!

If I won a case of mangos, I would make and can a TON of mango salsa. It’s one of my favorite summery flavors, and it would be wonderful to be able to have the mango salsa taste of summer even during the winter!
Beth recently posted..Everyday Buttermilk Skillet Cake
Thai mango salad!!!!!
Mangos, very thinly sliced red onion, red pepper, red pepper flakes, cilantro, cashews, and a sesame ginger dressing .. omggg
I would first make PPK’s Mango Fried Rice, then eat the rest plain.
What do you mean by “virtuously fiber-free”? Mangos have plenty of fiber in them. Are you saying they’re a virtuous food? Or that they’re virtually fat-free? Not trying to snark but have no idea what you mean here.
haha – honestly, I copied and pasted that line from the email I was sent. I was actually wondering the same thing, but I bet you’re right – I bet it’s supposed to be fat-free. I’m going to email my contact now to confirm that’s what she meant.
OK, that would make sense. But she probably meant virtually? Thanks!
Those mangoes look so good–reminds me of eating them in Guatemala and Honduras straight from the trees. MMm
Here’s the response I just got from Whole Foods
“They’re fiber free. If you’ve had other varieties of mangos (like the francis from Haiti), there’s a kind of stringy fiber in the flesh that can be difficult to chew. With ataulfos, they don’t really have that, which makes them ideal to puree for drinks.
”
I hope that helps!
Oh – and she has a good point. They’re really not stringy at all. I ate the bits right off the core and nothing got stuck in my teeth.
i love this mango variety! they are easy to eat right from the skin. just cut on either side of the pit, then score each half, and scoop out with a spoon! also, great for mango salsa (diced mango, jalepeno, red onion, salt, pep, and cilantro). i’d freeze any left overs for mango margaritas, and smoothies of course
.
OMG – what wouldn’t I do?!?!?! I love them – smoothies – yogurt – icecream – salsa…..mmmmmm
Amy @ Pinning my Pinterest recently posted..Buffalo Chicken Wraps
What would I do with a whole case of mangos? Besides the usual eating them with cereal and ice cream (separate! not together!), I would probably grill them up! Simple and delicious.
I would peel them and freeze them- I am addicted to frozen mango!!
Sarah recently posted..The Baby Rodeo
Congrats! You won the case of mangos! Please email mealsandmiles@gmail.com to collect your prize
I never liked Mangos until I stumbled upon a bag of frozen ones and then we were soul mates. I’d probably eat as many as I could and then freeze the rest!
I would cut them up and put them in yogurt!
Cut them up and eat them . I like fruit by itself.
Mango smoothies, mango salsa, fruit salad!!! Yum!
Laura recently posted..What I’m loving Wednesday, IV

Molly recently posted..Feast
I’d like to say I’d make some complicated dish with them, but I honestly would probably eat most of them chopped up and topped with a trail mix of raw nuts and raisins! It’s such a refreshing, filling, and easy breakfast!
smoothies! with pineapple and strawberries and spinach
eat them? duh
I would make mango lassis all day, every day.
I adore mangoes! I would use them in salsas, fruit salads, mixed with yogurt and granola, eaten plain for a simple dessert, and always always share some with my dog because she loves mango too
I love mangos!!! I would use them raw, in salsa, with Greek yogurt, even grilled with a tasty turkey burger.
I would eat them staright up. YUM.
Smoothies, Salsa, Popsicles, Fruit Salads, Salads… oh! The options!
Those mangos are the BEST! I picked up a recipe from Whole Foods for mango bread so I’d try and make that……but they are best just eaten plain by themselves!
I ? mangoes! I’d probably eat most of them sliced plain, but mixing them into Greek yogurt is delicious, too. Maybe make a salsa, and eat it with some coconut shrimp! That sounds so good.

Oooo!! I would freeze them and blend them to make a huge batch of mango sorbet!
Jillian @ Sprinkle Massacre recently posted..WIAW: Miserable Edition
I would use them in Mango salsa and then I would make mango sorbet. If they lasted that long, I love mangoes so I would probably just end up eating most of them as is!
i would make a fresh mango salsa to put on top of fish!
I would make lots of tropical smoothies and probably finally try a mango salsa recipe! And I’d share them with my coworkers who never want to try new things
Mango salsa, mangoes and sticky rice- yum and of course throw them in smoothies!
My first grader has been requesting mango in his lunch every day, so a good percentage would be used that way. I’d also freeze some for smoothies and make mango quinoa salad!

Mango salsa, strawberry mango smoothies, mango fried rice (yup, I went there). The possibilities are endless.
Emily recently posted..California
I would make sorbet! Also, potentially dumb question but I have never heard of this type of mango. Do they really not have any fiber?
Here’s what the rep at Whole Foods told me: If you’ve had other varieties of mangos (like the francis from Haiti), there’s a kind of stringy fiber in the flesh that can be difficult to chew. With ataulfos, they don’t really have that, which makes them ideal to puree for drinks.
My boyfriend just moved back from Botswana in southern Africa and misses having an (mostly) endless supply of mangoes! I’d let him go to town on a case..and steal a couple for myself!
Mix them with some avocado or put them on a salad!
I love me some mangoes! I would make mango smoothies, mango sticky rice, and eat at least half of them raw!!
Liz recently posted..My True Vegetable Love
So many options! Sliced mangos, frozen mangos, mango smoothies…but my favorite definitely being mango salsa!
I would eat them plain (love them!), put them in smoothies, and make a salsa with it and pair it with grilled Tilapia.
I love mangoes on everything! Mango smoothies, mangoes in yogurt, mangoes on salad!
I would make smoothies galore and chop it up with tomatoes and avocado for a sweet and savory twist on guacamole!
I would make a salad with kale, mango avocado and walnuts. Yum!

I would hoard them and eat them one by one. Sharing is overrated!
My mom LOVEs mangoes, especially the Mexican variety
I would give half the case to her, a 1/4 of the remaind to my older sis since she loves them too, and the last 1/4 I would use for smoothies or just to munch on. My lips may swell when I eat them, but it’s soooooo worth it.
Sonia the Mexigarian recently posted..Update
either peach mango salsa or vanilla yogurt with mangos!
Ice cream or smoothies!! Yum!
Those are the BEST mangos! I love love love them
I really love to make mango salsa.. so I would probably make a bucket load. And mango Lassi’s!

Mangoes are my favorite fruit! I would freeze some for smoothies, maybe try baking with them, but most importantly—biting into one whole like an apple!
All I can think about is mango sticky rice from my favorite Thai restaurant. It’s SO dang expensive though. I’d love to try my hand at making my own.

Smoothies, just eat them, dehydrate them…. Endless opportunities!
i would just eat them fresh – these mangoes are my FAVORITE fruit.
I would freeze the mangoes and eat them all summer!
I’ve always wanted to make a mango chutney…and I am in love with the NSA dried mango pieces in the bulk bns at whole foods, so I would definitely trying dehydrating them!
So true about mangoes- they really are a virtous fruit! They’re not at all slutty like those dirty bananas you hate.
I would eat them plain…not slathered with anything!

I’m seeing endless fruit salads! And mango greek yogurt breakfasts for the foreseeable future!

I might just go to whole foods now and buy one they sound so enticing!
I looooove mangoes. Plain chopped, with a litttttle bit of salt. So juicy and delicious.
I would make mango salsa! Yummmm.
Mango jelly, mango upside down cake and mango mojito. Yum!
I would make smoothies, a quick sorbet and use them a long with other fruit to make a fruit “pizza”.

Smoothies! Mmmmmm………..
SMOOTHIES!!! and I’d share them with my neighbor, who LOVES mangos!

I would definitely make mango salsa, then freeze many of them for smoothies!
Not sure why but fish tacos with a chunky mango salsa came to mind first. Then a chicken, cheese, and green onion quesadilla with chunky mango salsa on top. I also wonder if you could caramelize the mango and add it to some vanilla ice cream. Mmm…..okay, I might just be hungry…
Wow, everybody else came up with great ideas… I’m not sure I could add to their creativity. Savory wise, I think I’d do a mango salsa with a great simple recipe I have with tortilla chips. Sweet wise, I think I’d do smoothies or maybe in a tortilla with jam and honey… Yum, I think?
I absolutely love mangos. I’m sure I could demolish the case by myself, just eating the fruit as it is, but if I were feeling creative…I’d whip up a few batches of mango sticky rice or just eat with ice cream
i’m liking the mango salsa ideas so id go with that
I would eat them fresh, make mango salsa, and who knows what else! Sounds delish.

My mango fallbacks (if they last that long), are mango salsa (mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, & salt)-savory, or mango sorbet-sweet.
I’d eat them plain, throw them in smoothies, chop them fresh in grain salads…yum!
I love them just plain, or in yogurt with cereal
I love them in smoothies and by themselves and in salsa!! Yums
I’m pretty sure the mangos aren’t fiber-free… I think what you mean is they aren’t fibrous. They definitely contain some amount of fiber, as most fruits do. Also, how can a fruit be virtuous? I wasn’t aware mangos followed some kind of moral code! Good for them, I guess. Although, I think you meant to say “virtually”.
I love mangos! I would eat them raw, make salsa, put them in smoothies, and freeze slices of them.

Sorry ‘virtuously fiber-free’ just is jumping out at me and it is making it difficult to read the post. Did you mean virtually fiber-free?
Unfortunately I don’t live near Whole Foods, great giveaway though!
I would eat them. all of them.
I would eat most of them as-is and make some in to mango salsa and into smoothies.
I Love mango!! I would make some kind of mango salad and mix it in the dressing as well. Lots of fresh greens, onions, maybe some panko chicken… mmm-mmmm!!
