When mangoes are available, I love to make this mango salsa. It's great for a snack with chips, on salads, and as a topping for grilled fish or chicken. It's so juicy too, and, just like my recipe for grilled pineapple salsa, this salsa adds some acid to your favorite short rib or carnitas tacos.

Sourdough Beer Bread

This sourdough beer bread has a lovely and distinctly sourdough flavor from the combination of the beer and the fermented dough.

The beer in this recipe replaces the usual water in a sourdough bread recipe. This seems to strengthen the sourdough flavor of the loaf. Plus, the bread seems to gain more tang over time.
