Colorful. I love colorful food.
Tasteful. I love tasteful food. (Who doesn’t right?!)
What you see above is what came straight out of the slow cooker. No styling, no color editing, what you see is what you get. I think this is slow cooker food at its finest!
Oh and the #2 reason that I love slow cooking it’s usually dump and run. This is one such recipe and I love that it literally is no fuss. No need to peak, stir, vent, nothing.
And the #1 reason is that I can go about my afternoon and deal with the attitudes of witching hour without having to fuss with dinner prep.
But really they should be a tie. #1 and #2 reasons are equally important for this busy mama!
Oh and before you begin, here are my helpful tips for How to Choose and Cut a Mango.
Bon Appetit!

Can frozen mango chunks be used instead of fresh?
