I was happy to learn that I peeked your interest in mango bread. I don’t know if my including a url from another website is considered in bad taste (no pun intended). If it is, please forgive my ignorance. My reasoning for the inclusion is that sharing is good. Okay, okay, there may be some things that we (everyone) don’t need to share, but I digress. Here is the url for one recipe for mango bread (for the record, I am not connected in any way with this website): http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Magic-Mango-Bread/Detail.aspx

Personally, I love pluots, white flesh nectarines and saturn peaches (aka: doughnut peaches; if by chance you have not seen them, they are flat peaches with a white flesh).
I love fresh red raspberries. One more, “I love,” if you don’t mind. I love lychees. You can find an article on the saturn peach, pluot and lychee on wikipedia. I have not tried a longan, but I would like to. It, too, is on wikipedia.

I would love to know if you ever try making a bread in which you include any of the following fruits: mango, pluots, white flesh nectarines, saturn peaches, lychees, longans AND what you thought of the result. I assume that if your first try at cooking/baking something new is a flop that you try at least a second and if necessary, possibly, a third time.

I apologize for my “wordiness” in this note.

Thanks so much for sharing. I always order VitaTops from their website and use your code. I added the mixes to my order the other day once I saw this. I am definately going to try this. It looks scrumptious!

I see you shop at Aldi too. I really like their Fit & Active stuff (can’t beat the price), and my family loves the cherries. I’m sure they would love them in a chocolate bread like this as well. Thanks for the recipe!

Danielle – I get it at my regular grocery store now. Usually in the same aisle as the rice, near the couscous. Ir it may be in the ethnic area.

Oh! and I think Craisins would be awesome!

Looks so yummy I have some of that mix at home going to try it maybe tomorrow if I am homebound due to the snow with my lil girl – no cherries here but have craisins – those will have to do.

I want to try to make your quinoa stuffed peppers – where can I find quinoa??

Thanks
Danielle

Your little guy is a cutie! What a good idea to add cherries and almonds to a chocolate loaf, I’ll bet that was really tasty! I;ll have to see if they sell those mixes in my neck of the woods.

I love vitalicious products! I just made a huge order of their vitatops, I love them. This looks fantastic, glad the little one liked it. My husband is equally strange about things. He won’t touch quinoa because he can’t pronounce it and he didn’t grow up with it. Ya, THAT makes sense. :-)

That looks incredible! Hope you’re enjoying this snow! Is B-more getting the second wave like DC is? I may have to make a version of this tomorrow when it’s all snowy :)
