Mango Coconut Bread, and Causes!


When I saw this bread on Sweet as Sugar Cookies blog, I knew that I would be making it soon. This bread is so moist and bursting with mangoes and cinnamon.  My husband loves mango, and we eat it often, with a squeeze of lime.  Because this bread speaks of the tropics, I added a little lime juice and  and flaked coconut.  Wait a minute! I forgot the rum!  That will have to be for next time. This is perfect for a quick, yummy breakfast, snack, or dessert. You'll have to go to Sweet As Sugar Cookie's Mango Bread recipe.  Go ahead, add a little, lime juice, coconut or rum, and have a taste of the tropics! Unlike Lisa, I didn't have anyone leaving bags of mangoes on my porch,  I had to go to the store to get them:)
