Two Sweet Treats to Brighten Your Week


Oi, Gente!

January isn't over yet, somehow.... I personally feel like it's day 89 at this point 😵‍💫...

So, if you need some tropical vibes to endure the end of the month, bananas are a great choice. They're always available and can add instant warmth to any day.

Here are two ways to use them:

Bolo de Farinha de Rosca com Banana

This Brazilian Banana Bread Cake was a childhood treasure in my house, and a great way to use old bread or breadcrumbs.

It tastes like banana French toast and bread pudding had a cake baby. There are three parts (fluffy cake, crunchy topping, gooey caramel) but they're all simple to make. And totally worth it.

Caramelized Bananas

Pure tropical comfort in 10-ish minutes.

Five ingredients, minimal effort, and you've got something that turns vanilla ice cream, simple cakes, or pancakes into something special. The easiest way to get your sweet fix.

It's fresh, crisp, full of tang, and also endlessly customizable... so much so that growing up our hearts of palm salads hardly ever looked or tasted the same. That's what I love about it. There's no single...

Oi, Gente! Everyone knows Brazilians love their brigadeiro. It’s an undeniable part of our DNA. But rolling dozens of little balls and coating them in sprinkles? That’s a whole other story. I know I don’t always have the patience for it. Growing up, my mom skipped all the rolling and just made brigadeirão instead. Same chocolatey brigadeiro flavor, just turned into a silky, sliceable dessert that you pour into a pan and let the oven do the work. No standing over the stovetop, stirring for 20...

Oi, Gente! This week I've been recipe testing a very special dessert 👀 which means I had no time to think about dinners. So, I relied on my almighty chimichurri, and this baked chimichurri salmon has reigned supreme here almost every night 😬 It’s bright, herby, and packed with flavor, perfect for a weeknight, since the chimichurri does most of the heavy lifting. Spoon it on, bake, done. If you already have leftover chimichurri, like I always do, even better. If not, it takes five minutes to...
