Mango on a Stick
Prep time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
• Mango
• Lime
• Chili powder
• Salt
• Chopsticks
Steps to Prepare:
1. This is a traditional Mexican treat that’s ridiculously easy to make and tastes delicious and refreshing. It also looks fancy when you’re done, so it’s a great way to impress the family. First, take a chopstick and push it carefully into the bottom of your mango.
2. Peel the mango.
3. Begin to make some cuts in the mango’s flesh at a downward, turning angle, almost to the pit but not quite. Spin the mango as you go, and gently bend the flesh away from the mango as you cut, like flower petals, so that eventually you’ve made cuts all the way around. It should look like a flower. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect the first time! It’s the fun that matters, and it will always taste good no matter what.
4. Squeeze on some lime juice and sprinkle a bit of chili powder.
Agua Fresca de Pepino

Steps to Prepare:
1. This Mexican-style cucumber limeade is the best drink for a day in Rocky Point and requires hardly any work. Mix together all these ingredients and throw them together in a blender.
2. Blend until smooth. Then, pour the limeade into a pitcher and store in the fridge to enjoy at your leisure!
