Hubby and I took some time out today to regain our equilibrium after a tough week. This mango crab cake saladΒ went down a treat. I do so enjoy brightly coloured food.
I would like three servings of these right now…. (drooling over my screen – I am at 5 minutes to leave work and go home to stuff myself with anything :D) I am glad to see you eating healthy.
I have one very sulky tree that never produces, I threaten to chop it down but it gives lots of lovely shade so for the moment it has a reprieve. I buy Mangos and we have one for breakfast every day during the season. Australia doesn’t import mangos so we have to make the most of the season. Tinned ones are not so good…
A very sulky tree? βΉοΈ
Yes it flowers then drops the immature fruit. I think it is the climate, not enough rain.
That’s a shame. I remember when I was in the school choir, we used to sing the old Irish song, “My love’s an Arbutus by the borders of Lene.” I think Arbutus is another name for the Tulip Tree. It’s fruit is bit like the strawberry. π
Never heard of an Arbutus, I’ll have to Google it!!!
..in Italia si dice che il cibo si mangia prima con gli occhi…e con gli occhi questo a un buon sapore
felice inizio settimana
Yum that looks tasty.
Colourful and delicious π xxx
Yes, the bright colours were a lovely surprise when it arrived in front of me. π
Mmmmm…I bet π xx

I wish I could oblige, Paula. Enjoy your evening meal. π xx
It is looking too beautiful to eat! lol…
It really did, Alexander, but I ate it anyway. π
Scrumptious! Glad you took some time for yourselves to stay in-sync through the tough days! π
Thanks, Donna. π
Looks delicious!
Yes it was, although the mango could have been a bit riper. π
colourful and delicious. a perfect combination
Yes it was. I enjoyed it very much. π
looks yummy! π
Yes it was. π
Looks so yummy. Mango one of my favourites and our season is coming to an end.:(
How marvellous to grow your own. π

Oh yes…….I like that saying. π xx
That looks so delicious….I’m hungry for crab cake now!
Thanks, Seonaid. I think I’d love to have crab cakes at least once a day. π
That looks so bright, healthy and summery. I am still firmly stuck on hot soups in rather chilly Normandy! #MySundayPhoto
Thanks, Rosie. It’s a bit warm here for hot soup. π
Perfect food, I love mango (and avocado!)
Me too, Gerrie. I was hoping to have avo on toast for lunch, but it’s not ripe yet. π
That looks absolutely delicious and colorful!!
Thanks, Constance. Yes it was. π
My, that does look delicious. A good reward for the hectic week you’ve had.
Thanks, Gunta. Yes it was nice to relax for a couple of hours today. Work starts again in earnest tomorrow morning. π
Look soooo good! Glad you have a bit of break, I can understand of the hard work you have.
Thanks so much, YC. π
Hard to bet colourful fresh tasting food like this
Thank you. Yes it is. π
Youre healthy brunch is like a colorful painting.
Yes, I agree with you, Marylou. It tasted better than a painting though. π
That brunch looks like art, my friend! And super healthy too! I so get the need to have a break and hope next week will be a bit easier. XX
Thanks so much, Helen. I’m sure the coming week will be a little less stressful but very busy nevertheless. π xx
Yum, that looks so delicious, and yes I love the bright colors.
Thanks, Charlie. π
Mango and crab….delicious.
Perfect combination, Carol. π
I’m happy you and hubby took a little break, Sylvia. Yum! That dish looks delicious. I love crab cakes!
Thanks, Jill. Hubby is now back at work again. π
At least his belly is full. π
Oh, I love crab cakes! So interesting incorporating corn and mangos on a bed of greens. Happy settling in, Sylvia with breaks like this.
Thanks, Robin. Yes the mango and the asparagus went so well with the crab cakes. π
Looks lovely and refreshing Sylvia. I’m totally not in the mood for cooking at the moment either!
I would love to have a kitchen so I could do a bit of cooking. I wish we could have just transferred my kitchen from the old house to this one. π
At least you can have the kitchen you want when you design it yourself. Hope it won’t be too long for you.
Yes, moving into a house that needs everything replacing, does have its advantages. π
And can also be very tiring!
Mamma mia, looks special!
Thanks, Anna. π
Colorful is pleasing to the eye and to our health ~ lots of anti-oxidants!
Very true, Nancy. π
Great way to pause and celebrate the accomplishments of the past week. I’m heading down to join you!!
Thanks, Rebecca. That would be lovely. You can help finish the renovations. π xx
Looks like a tasty treat to recharge your batteries!
Mmmm………yes it was just what I needed.:)
Gorgeous colours, looks delicious
Thanks Leyla. It really was. π
Glad you enjoyed your brunch and some relaxing time away from the work S- Cheryl x
Thanks, Cheryl. π xx

looks beautiful and delicious! I love colorful food π
Thanks, Lisa. Me too. π
With all of the work you’ve been doing, you need a good, nutritious lunch. Buon appetito!
Thanks, John. Yes, especially as we have no kitchen at the moment. π
Ooo this looks so yummy, it’s making me feel hungry
Thank you for linking up
Thanks, Darren. It was delicious. π
You definitely need some time out. I had almost the same lunch yesterday at one of our local restaurants at the water’s edge here in Vero Beach.
Thanks, Karen. I think you are just up the coast from me. π
Not far at all, in Vero Beach. Someday, we’ll have to share a meal togetherβ¦perhaps somewhere in the middle.
Sounds like a great idea. π
Happy Sunday to you!
Thanks, Eddie. π
Well, that’s just DROOL-WORTHY!! π
Absolutely, Carmen. π
Looks delicious!
Thanks, Colline. Yes indeed. π
