Gluten-free eaters love Chex, because it’s a blast from the past!

I serve cereal to my lunch-eaters frequently. It’s much easier to pack than pancakes or french toast. No picture of this one; one of those mornings! Enjoy the menu!

If you’ve ever struggled with mangoes- here’s a tip:

Stand it on its stem.

Cut two vertical slices one on each side of the pit.

Criss-cross cuts in each slice (without breaking the skin)

To eat- turn inside-out and bite off chunks!

(You can scoop off with a spoon or knife if you don’t like juice dribbling down your chin…)
