I made this for my mom's 60th birthday party, it was a Hawaiian themed party. It is really good, similiar to banana bread or zucchini bread,a nice change, my kids had never eaten mangos before and this was a great way to introduce a new fruit! I found this recipe at www.recipezaar.com
Makes 2 loaves
2 c flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 c granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 c vegetable oil (I use olive)
2 1/2 c mangoes, peeled and chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 c raisins (optional, I left them out)
Preheat ovent to 350 degrees. Combine all of the dry ingredients. Beat eggs with oil and add to flour mixture. Add mangos, lemon juice and raisins. Mix well. Pour into 2 greased 8x4 loaf pans. Bake for about 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.

Monti's Bread
Raygon, this one is for you! I saw your posting about Macaroni Grill Bread and thought you might want to give this one a shot. My Grandma loves their bread and while eating there once, asked if she could have the recipe. Surprisingly, they gladly shared!
1 Tbs. Yeast
1 1/2 Cup Water
4 Cups Flour
1 Tbs. Sugar
1/2 Cup Very Finely Chopped Onion
Kosher Salt
Dried Rosemary
Mix like regular bread dough, adding the onions at the end. Let it rise for one hour and then knead. Press onto a large greased cookie sheet. Let rise until doubled, or when it reaches the top of the cookie sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and rosemary.
Bake at 400 degrees 20-25 minutes.

Pan Fried Ravioli
This one is great when you are in a hurry to get dinner on the table.

2 eggs
Splash of milk
1-2 cups Italian breadcrumbs
1 Jar organic spaghetti sauce (again, you can use whatever your family likes.)
Handful of fresh flat-leaf parlsley, chopped (If you don't have fresh on hand, dried works too.)
Handful grated parmesan cheese
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
In a bowl, add eggs and beat. Add milk. In a second bowl, combine breadcrumbs, parsley and cheese. Dip ravioli in egg mixture, then bread mixture until coated. Drizzle a tablespoon or two of oil in a skillet. Over med-hi heat, cook each ravioli a few minutes until lightly toasted. Serve with your favorite sauce.

Baked Raised Doughnuts
My girls love doughnuts, but I hate fried food! They rarely get them so when I came across this recipe for baked doughnuts from a good family friend, I was so happy! It's a little more effort than just buying them at the store, but it's worth the extra work!
1 3/4 cup water
1/3 cup dry powdered milk
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon*
1 tsp. nutmeg*
4 1/2 cups flour
2 tbs. yeast
Mix and knead all ingredients together. Let rise until doubled. Roll out and cut into doughnuts. Place on cookie sheet and let rise again until double. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes.
*I don't like to add the flavor to my dough, I would rather add it to the top of the doughnuts after they are cooked. Feel free to change it up according to what your family likes.
