Blogging Marathon# 47: Week 4/ Day 1
Theme: Bookmarked Recipes
Dish: Vegan Mango Bread
We are starting our last and final week of blogging marathon for this year today. My theme for this week is 'Bookmarked Recipes'. I have so many recipes in my bookmarks that it is even impossible to make them all in this life time. Also I don't think I will ever be able to organize them in a proper way to actually see what I have in there. All these recipes are bookmarked all over the place -- some on Pinterest, some on Foodgawker, some on my desktop and some on my laptop.
I looked through all my photo folders from this year and found 3 bookmarked recipes that I already made but didn't get a chance to post. So this is my idea of cleaning up my folders for the new year.
For the first day I have Vaishali's Vegan Mango bread that was a super hit at home. The bread is moist and the taste of mango comes through in each and every bite. Using canned mango makes it convenient to make this bread any time of the year and we don't have to wait for just summers. A must try bread recipe for all mango lovers.
Recipe adapted from Vaishali's Holy Cow!
