Mango Salsa Recipe & Garden Roses Haircut
As promised, “Voila!” the mango salsa recipe that toppled over our teriyaki burger post a few days ago. And we’re thrilled that we actually wrote about it, as promised, considering how behind we’ve been on everything else! The office is a mess, the bathrooms need cleaning and we have 2 other projects behind schedule, but at least we wrote out the mango salsa recipe!
Mango Salsa Recipe
splash of fresh lime juice is wonderful
Those teriyaki burgers were extra special we wanted a fruity accompaniment to the homemade teriyaki sauce that coated the patties. Mango salsa is just bitchen. Fresh, fruity, tangy, sweet and sour (if extra lime added) brings out the flavor of almost any burger. Definitely try the mango salsa on some grilled meat dishes or even as a side dish. It’s pretty, colorful, healthy, fresh and sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. One of the favorite staff meals I (Todd) came up with for my crew where I used to manage was a pizza laden with mango salsa, chipotle, roasted potato slices, and smoked gouda cheese. Soooo good!
Our mango tree is settling in nicely with new flowers and hopefully, a ton of fruit this year! If it’s another good year, we’ll be swimming in more fresh mango salsa. But until then, we’ve still been lucky to find some great, juicy and sweet mangoes at our local Asian market.

As another promise, we told some twitter friends that we’d share some pictures of our favorite roses: our climbing eden rose. A conversation over twitter a few weeks ago led to fun geek-out rose talk with fellow twitter peeps and nice comments came to our little rose post.
Our pride & joy Eden climbing rose in it’s blooming glory. Enjoy!

I can almost smell those roses! What gorgeous, summer photos of your beautiful buds! I know you both are in the thick of it and wanted to give you a very big hug and kiss to let you know I’m thinking of you both and wishing you a tiny bit of rest–between all the big gigs.
hugs and kisses,

Delish! I like to add a little Sriracha sauce to the mango salsa to give it a little kick.
I love the rose photos, they are beautiful. Mine are about ready to bloom. I will take photos when they do. Mango salsa is a sign of summer for me. I could eat that entire bowl.
Your roses are amazing. And the mango salsa looks delicious.
As much as I like the popular food on white food blog photos, I love the darker look of the salsa photos.
Your roses are beautiful. I especially love the Eden roses. Being in an apartment I don’t have a garden, but cannot taking photos of roses when I see them.
Oh, your photo of salsa on the table is fabulous!
We just cut a huge bunch of our roses too, and they graced our recent dinner party tables. Stop by and see if you have a moment…we used rosemary in the arrangements.
I have some Egyptian Papyrus too, I never thought to pair it with my roses. That is an idea I will definitely use. You never know what is going to bring inspiration!

This salsa looks amazing and the roses are beautiful! I’m so envious that I haven’t had salsa or roses recently! 🙂
Love this post and the photos of the mango salsa are stunning. Your photography always inspires me to do better.
Thanks for including me in the club. 😉 Yesterday I picked the petals off all my over-bloomed (from the heat!) roses to bring to @nickelmoon to make rose water. Looking forward to seeing (smelling?) how it comes out.
Aren’t you sweet? I love, love those roses! I told my husband that I want an Eden rose on our front porch of our new house to twine over the front door!
Sadly, I gave my husband a gorgeous Falstaff rose for our anniversary a couple of years ago and it’s not blooming at all this year (it’s in a pot on our front patio now, and it’s been eaten alive.)
Absolutely gorgeous, both the salsa and the roses!
BTW, I want your table. Really. If not for your ferocious dogs I would attempt a heist.
