I have run into a lot of people that have sad they have never tried rabbit or that they don’t like it. I think rabbit is a very tender meat if done correctly. It can be a little chewy depending on the age of the rabbit. Last night I decided to use my Le Creuset Brasier to make it and…

Apple Pastry
This little idea popped into my head tonight. I didn’t have to time to make an apple pie for dessert; so I thought to myself what else could be an easy little fix. Well I decided to take some frozen pastry dough, granny smith apples, egg (for eggwash), sugar, cinnamon and water. After it was all…
Empadinha (Mini Pies)
Empadinhas are a very popular little appetizer in Brazil. I mean you can actually make a big pie version of Empadinha, which my father has mastered and has taught me how to make as well. They can be filled with pretty much anything from sweet fillings to Chicken, Veggies, Cheese, Meat, Seafood and hearts of palm…
Beijinho (Brazilian White Coconut Truffle)
In one of my previous posts I shared with you Brigadeiro (Brazilian Chocolate Truffle). Well here is another little truffle like dessert. It’s called Beijinho ( Brazilian White Coconut Truffle), and is made with Condensend Milk, and grated coconut, and rolled in granulated sugar or Coconut again. It’s a creamy and rich little dessert. Beijinho translated is “little kiss”.
Peppermint Bark
What could be more traditional than using peppermint around the holidays? I had a bag of red vanilla chips lying around and I decided to make some Peppermint bark. It’s a great treat to set on the table when guests come over. A lot of peppermint bark is made with white chocolate, but I figured the red vanilla would be…
Brazilian Chocolate Truffle (Brigadeiro)
Well it’s that time of year where all we do is eat baked goods, desserts and comfort food. Another of my favorite desserts would have to be Brigadeiro. It’s another favorite in Brazil and very common there. It’s basically like a chocolate truffle. Its rich, chocolate fudge with sprinkles of your choice. I figured I would make them a little…
Peanut Butter & Jelly Blondie
I decided today to try and make some Blondie Bars. For some of you who don’t know, a Blondie Bar is like a brownie but has a Butterscotch taste to it. I wanted to try and make something a little different though. I made some Peanut Butter and raspberry Jelly Blondies. I used actual Peanut Butter instead of Peanut Butter Chips. I’m…

Almond Biscotti
One of my favorite things to make lately has been biscotti. It’s easy and you can be creative and come up with any flavor to add to the dough. I decided to go traditonal with this one and make an almond biscotti. You get all the ingredients together and turn the dough into a log. …
Passion Fruit Mousse
Here is another dessert that is really popular is Brasil. It’s passion fruit mousse. It’s rich and creamy and holds a lot of that fruit flavor that’s tangy and good. You can pretty much make any fruit mousse. What you need is condensed milk, table cream (creme de leite), which you can usually find in the international…
Watermelon Gazpacho
A lot of people know about the traditional gazpacho, which is a tomato based cold soup. But I have heard a lot about different types of gazpacho, and i think the one that stood out the most was watermelon, so i gave it a try. I took some watermelon, olive oil, orange juice, and salt and blended…
