You just made my life easier - I used to peel them first then try to cut the slippery bugger into pieces - I'll be more likely to add this to my weekly fruits (on sale now 10 for 10!) since they will be much less cumbersome to enjoy now! Also - what a throwback! Ryan is such a tiny little guy in that video! So sweet that you have these to look back on with him when he is older :) Wow!

I have just been hacking at the mango and almost crying over the frustration! I never had a mango until I moved here to Holland (I'm from Iowa) and because of the cutting I was paying almost 3x the cost of a mango to get them already cut in a package! Now thanks to you I can save money! My son has a form of autism (he's almost 5 now) and has sensory issues including with food. I'm trying to introduce him to more things that are healthy and it's not easy! I just watched this video with him thinking if he saw how fun you made it, he might want to give it a try. So far he says no but I will buy one soon and cut it like you did and see if I can at least get him to watch. Often I CAN get him to take one bite of something new and I just know if he tastes mango he'll love it. To me mango is like the world's perfect food. I feel like I'm taken to another place when I eat it. I'm so glad I found your blog last night! It was on 'food and drink blogs-blog top sites' I am trying to find some good recipe blogs to add more variety to our dinners and I love that you provide videos! I bookmarked it right away! Ryan is ADORABLE and you seem so sweet! Thank you for taking time to help all of us moms around the world! THANK YOU! I have just been hacking at the mango and almost crying over the frustration!

Thanks so much for the great video! I attempted to cut a mango about 2 years ago for my then baby, and it was a fiasco! I even called my mother on the phone and tried to get instruction from her, all to no avail. I ended up with a plate of mush. Which I guess was OK for a 10 month old! So I thought I'd give it another shot with my now 2 year old who will only eat mac & cheese and bread products! I thought your son would inspire him, but he just spit it out the second it touched his tongue. He thought it was fun, though!

As usual i'm late catching up with your blog.... I lurvvvvve Mangoes, i practically grew up eating them as my mum used to cut them up for us exactly like you do :) The other week i bought a little box of like 2 Mangoes in it and with them came a really cool utensil to cut the mango. It looks a bit like the tool you get to cut hard boiled eggs but only bigger and for the shape of a mango, so cutting them up is really so easy now, sweet :) The toddler was way cute in the video by the way. Keep it up, you rock xxx Hey Roni!

OH MY GOSH!!! We loved it!!!!! My toddler loved it so much! At the store this past weekend, I bought 2 and we had one for breakfast this morning. Oh my, they are so good!! I have a hard time b/c for YEARS I have only known a mango as a green pepper (something my MIL calls them) so it's hard to wrap my brain around, but I am getting there! They are so good and so sweet!!! Ok, Roni, I branched out last weekend and tried a mango.

Just slide the spoon in below the skin, super easy.

I saw them at the store last week but I hadn't watched the video yet so I was a bit skeptical so I didn't buy one. I will be getting one this week. :) I think my toddler will love it too. The last time I was in Cancun they had mango margaritas--I bet they were good and darn I didn't try them! :) And my MIL calls green peppers mangos. Confused the HECK out of me when I first started cooking. I have NO IDEA why she does this and we've even corrected her but she still does it. You have inspired me to branch out and try a mango!

When cutting the cubes out of the skin, a disposable plastic knife worked great on a ripe mango. I even got my preschooler to at least try it!

But the for the taco stew I just used the packaged stuff. Next time I make tacos I'll whip up a spice combination and post it. LOVE the idea on the zucchini boats as well.

Also - after you did your zucchini pizza's - I remembered that I used to cut the zucchini down the middle, hollow out the center a bit and use the "boat" to make a mock-potato skin. I crunched up Rye Crisp Crackers, added browned low fat turkey sausage, used some of the "center" of the zucchini chopped up, and pepper jack cheese. REALLY good. Please feel free to try these and add your own Roni touch and add them to your listing if you like.
