    That has everything I love in it! Can't wait to try. Hungry Girl was singing the praises of jicama on her website today, so this is very appropriate, thank you!

    I bought jicama lately and loved it. I'm a huge lover of avos and mangos and nuts... so this fits in perfectly. Funny aside: I sliced a piece of jicama off and popped it into my bf's mouth while he was talking on the phone... loved the puzzled look on his face! He couldn't figure it out. He interrupted his conversation and said... What IS this, sweetie? I loved it.
