M3 Remix Rice

After devouring the M3 for Sunday night dinner and Monday's lunch, I still had about a cup of the mango salsa left over. Naturally, I didn't want to compost such a delicious topping, so I turned to Sheryl Crow's new cookbook, If It Makes You Healthy, for some inspiration.

Sheryl (yes, we're on a first name basis) has a fantastic Soffrito Rice rice recipe that features mangos as the key ingredient. I made a variation of the recipe to (1) reuse the mangos and some leftover veggies from the weekend and (2) avoid Whole Foods at 7:00 p.m. on Monday at all costs.

Meal Alliteration: Mexican Madness for Mom (M3)

My mother visited this past week, so naturally we did all that great mother/daughter stuff: shop, chat, and of course, we ate. After a subpar dinner out on Thursday night, followed by two decent dinners, I decided I should "wow" her with a home cooked meal. I attempted a fresh, Mexican-style meal full of flavor and nutrients: zucchini corn fritters with grilled mesquite chicken, chipotle mango salsa, guacamole, and cilantro lime sauce.
