I know that there's dozens of food blogs crowding the internet world, one is created every few hours, I bet there are some being uploaded as we speak. So what makes this blog different? I will be featuring foods that our family normally eats in any given day of the week. I might even include some stories along the way both humorous and informative. So if you are interested in some home cooking, relax, read and be inspired.

MANGO AND SWEET BELL PEPPER SALAD
This recipe was given to me by a good friend, she brought it in our usual pot luck and I loved it ever since. It has now been a staple in our family gatherings. Of course along the way, I added my own variation to the original recipe.
The combination of ripe mangoes and sweet bell is very refreshing specially when served chilled on a hot Summer day.
I've always had a love affair with mangoes. I can eat the unripe ones with spicy bagoong (shrimp paste) or even with just plain salt. As for the ripe ones, I have no limit. Only when my stomach has the attack of acidity will I stop eating them.
3 ripe mangoes (julienned)
3 red sweet bell pepper (julienned)
1/2c red onion or two small scallions (julienned)
1/2c dried cranberries
1/2c flake almonds
2 tbsp. parmesan cheese
1/3c italian dressing
In a bowl mix all ingredients. Set aside 1 tbsp. parmesan cheese for garnish. Chilled for at least two hours. Perfect accompaniment to grilled meat or fish.
