Broccoli soup with spinach, cilantro and croutons

Mango guacamole or mango pico de gallo

This mango pico de gallo guacamole is the best thing EVER…seriously. The day I took this mango pico de gallo to a pool party it was a total hit. Everyone asked me for the recipe, and a friend even asked for the plate I brought it in to make sure none was left. It was ALL gone. Even to the last cilantro piece! I love these types of recipes because a lot of times as moms we think that kids won’t like something and we decide that they are more of adult flavors. I prefer for my kids to decide for themselves.
