Brazil

Brazil, Brazil here I come...

As I mentioned before my husbands has a book that came out about his life called 'Shoulda Been dead' you can find it on amazon. From time to time he has book signing tours. So this time it will be in Brazil. In Sao Paulo and Rio De Janeiro.

So extremely exciting.... Isn't it?

So as I am preparing for that. I decided to share a little info about the Brazilian cuisine. Brazilian food is so amazingly delicious. In the world it is a style of food that is not so recognized as is Italian food for instance but it is definitely delicious, creative, and by all means different.  In my eyes the Brazilian food is one of; if not the most interestingly delicious food in existence.



If you have not had a chance to try Brazilian food yet. You are surely missing out. Big Time... They have loads of styles, varieties, tastes, mixtures. Their food is so well prepared and they even have the talent of always presenting their meal well. They always garnish (decorate) and set the table well. Making each dish look so irresistible. It's surprising that they are mostly thin as a nation. If I were a Brazilian, living in Brazil, I would have to have a lot of self control in order to not eat everything...

For Breakfast they normally eat light,
Cheese Bread (very common in Breakfast)
Bread with ham and cheese or even butter is a biggy..


At lunch they eat heavier, for the most part from what I know they really love their red meats, rice and beans.

Rice and black beans for them goes with EVERY meal
Most Brazilians love their red meat


For snack time they normally eat these treats, that are an experience with every single bite.

minced meat filled treat


chicken filled treats


Dessert, so unique and delicious. Mostly for desserts they love using condensed milk in almost every dessert recipe. Sweetened Condensed milk Is a big part of their desserts.
Assorted mini treats called docinhos
Pave - they add chocolate, cookies, or even fruits etc.



Dinner Normally they repeat lunch and eat a big meal.

I am so excited to have this great privilege to spend a few days in Brazil getting to know more about their culture, foods, people and more. I will keep you posted.

God Bless
p.s.  If you haven't tried Brazilian food or met the Brazilian people. You are missing out. The food, culture in whole and people are absolutely amazing.

    Writing on any subject is not an easy task, when you write on any subject it is very difficult. Anyone who thinks that he will write something easily on any subject, then his thinking is very wrong, I do not know that perhaps those people will have to put so much mind. Whatever you have written in your post, it has been written very beautifully, you are a person writing a good post, the more you are praised, the less it is.

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth. Put that in the pot as well as the rest of your coconut milk. It will automatically thicken your hominy corn mixture now add in nutmeg, vanilla evaporated milk and condensed milk.
