Welcome to Saturday Snippets this is one of my favourite posts of the week I learn much from my research and your comments so please keep them coming…

Today’s word prompt is “Secret”…my muse certainly picks some one-word prompts for me…where did this one come from I wonder…my first thought was one of my favourite books as a child  “The Secret Garden”…I wonder how many other secrets I can divulge… Benjamin Franklin once said, “Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.” 

Secret Mango Flower Pie…

Mangoes are one of my favourite fruits luscious when ripe and refreshing and healthy when green and served with a spicy Thai dip…so it’s no “secret” that this delicious pie caught my eye and tempted my tastebuds…With ingredients like coconut milk, cashews and walnuts, mango and a hint of rum…Delicious!
