Cheese-monkey: a classic in the Brazilian family.

 

(Em Português)

I want to know how many of you have never eaten bread with banana. You know what? I think there is actually plenty of people who never eaten it. Oh my.

Look, you should try. There are millions of possible versions. The sandwich in the picture I have prepared with a soft store bought cornmeal bread, a thin layer of banana chimia (banana sauce? Banana spread? How do I call this thing in English? Anyway, the recipe will be after the jump. It's one I have prepared without sugar, pretty nice), unsalted white cheese, and the banana itself.

(Another) squash soup.

As I often do, I looked into my refrigerator to get some inspiration. I was hungry.

I thought to myself "something that cooks fast".

Therefore I used squash, zucchini and chayote. I think it was the quickest/ yummiest soup I've ever made. The hunger might have influenced this perception...

My grandma Nelci's cheese biscuits.

(Em português)

During these last summer vacation I have looked for the treasure of treasures:

the folder where my grandma Nelci's recipes were kept - which I brought home.

Some things, like the bee hives and the bread were never written down - she used to prepare them by heart.

On the other hand, these cheese biscuits, the cornmeal spongecake topped with cream and oranges, the grustuli, are in her notebooks, in her handwriting.

These are recipes that will inevitably bring memories to my family, and will make us happy whenever we prepare them. Every once in a while I'll share one of those, and I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Whole wheat flour and olive oil quiche - to the changes.

In the next posts, probably I'll increase the quantity of all natural food lunches.

I'm making an effort to improve eating habits, and this quiche was the first attempt.

I was successful!

I took the recipe from here, and made up the filling, based in a couple of recipes I read.

Soooft pizza, Chicago style.

(In Portuguese)

Think of an extremely soft, fluffy pizza.

Filled with a lot of grated cheese and sauce. With browned edges.

I took from Annie the recipe that leads to it.

Oh - the forgetfulness.

(In Portuguese)


I'll tell you a very sad story.
I forgot my photographic camera's cable at my mom's house. 
The end.


That's why we'll have some more posts illustrated by the computer's camera.
But she'll come to visit soon, and bring the cable along.
Now, another subject, the sandwich I had for lunch today:


Tuna and grated vegetables.
