When you’re craving a taste of the tropics but want something subtle and sophisticated, this mango-infused oil is the perfect addition to your kitchen. It’s like capturing the essence of a sunny day in a bottle – bright, fresh, and slightly sweet. Whether you’re drizzling it over a salad or adding a dash to grilled veggies, this oil brings a gentle mango touch that’s not overpowering but oh-so-delightful.
How to serve
This mango oil is your go-to for adding a hint of summer to just about anything. Try drizzling it over a fresh spinach or arugula salad for a light, fruity kick. It’s also fantastic as a finishing touch on grilled seafood, where its subtle sweetness complements the smoky flavors. Or, for a quick and easy twist, toss it with pasta or use it as a dip for crusty bread—simple yet satisfying. I like to incorporate some of the oil into my Cajun Shrimp with Honey Glaze & Cheesy Polenta.
How to store
To keep the vibrant flavor of your mango oil fresh, store it in a cool, dark place, tightly sealed. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and it’ll stay good for 1-2 weeks.

Get ready to treat yourself to a deliciously comforting meal that’s sure to become a favorite in your home. This dish brings together tender cajun shrimp with a sweet and spicy honey glaze, paired perfectly with creamy, cheesy polenta. It’s the kind of meal that feels fancy, but it’s surprisingly easy to make. Whether you’re cooking for a special occasion or just a cozy night in, this dish hits all the right notes.
How to serve
Serve this dish fresh out of the pan, with the shrimp nestled on top of a generous scoop of polenta. For a little extra flair, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and a wedge of lemon on the side to squeeze over the shrimp. It’s great as a stand-alone meal, but you can also pair it with a crisp salad or some sautéed greens for a complete dinner experience.
How to store
If you’ve got leftovers (lucky you!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the shrimp and polenta separately in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth to keep the polenta creamy.

Beetroot Oil

Tried this beetroot-infused oil expecting a vibrant twist, but honestly, it’s a miss. No taste, no color – just sharing so you know it’s not worth your time.

OIL
ALL YEAR
So, I decided to try something new and experiment with a beetroot-infused oil, thinking it would add some earthy flavor and color to my dishes. Unfortunately, this one’s a complete miss. Despite the effort, the oil ended up adding neither taste nor color to anything I tried it with. I’m sharing this recipe to save you the trouble – sometimes even the most promising ideas just don’t work out.
How to serve
Honestly, there’s not much to serve here. The beetroot-infused oil didn’t bring anything to the table – no flavor, no color, nothing. If you’re curious and still want to try it, you might drizzle it over a salad or some veggies, but don’t expect it to make a difference. It’s more of a novelty than something that’ll enhance your meals. If anything, it’s a reminder that not every kitchen experiment turns out as expected. But what is worth trying is this Caramelized Bacon Fried Goat Cheese Salad with Blackberry Balsamic Vinaigrette.
How to store
If you do make this beetroot-infused oil, it can be stored in a cool, dark place like your pantry or a cabinet, just like any other homemade oil.
