Seasonal Celebration Sunday #24

|

Welcome to The 24th Seasonal Celebration Linky Party!

"seasonal celebration"

 

First of all, I would like to extend a big thanks to those of you who volunteered their tips for using coconut oil. If any of you have links to recipes you’ve included coconut oil, or alternative uses for coconut oil- I’d love to share them on NMN, so do let me know!

This week we have been experimenting with using mangoes in all types of dishes, from curries to smoothies. We are currently over-run with these amazing superfruit on the beautiful island of Saint Croix! If you are wondering how to add something special to your summer BBQ, take a look at this flavourful Mango Salsa, it beautifully compliments most protein, from fish to tempeh.

We have also discovered a speedy way of making a refreshing pitcher of  homemade Ginger Beer. The girls really enjoy it with our family meals. My husband and I have been enjoying it in the form of a ‘Dark and Stormy Cocktail’. The combination of lime, homemade ginger beer and dark rum is simply delicious..

I say this every week in my email reminder, but I am really delighted to welcome you all each week-thank you so very much for linking up!

During the summer, I will be working from different places around the globe, with a family home exchange and road trip planned. Consequently,  you’ll see a more international flavour to my articles and perhaps fewer of them. I plan to keep Seasonal Celebration going, except for a break  in August, when there will be no Seasonal Celebration for the whole month until September. Over to you…:-)

Featured Post

Here is my featured post from last week, which will also be shared on our Facebook Page and our brand new Google + Page. Remember please, to link back to NMN if you wish to be featured, thank you.

    Good morning and thanks for another link party! I am trying to find cold drinks to make around the house and came up with another-Sweet Iced Coffee-No Calorie (#13 ). It’s an embarrassingly simple recipe, but I’d still like to share it. Hope you like the tutorial. Have a great week!
