Pumpkin season calls for something sweet and cozy 🍂


Oi, Gente!

Pumpkin season is upon us and that means it's time to make Doce de Abóbora com Coco Brazilian pumpkin compote with coconut.

This delicious compote is a rustic sweet with a long tradition in Brazil, especially in Minas Gerais, where homemade sweets are a way of life.

It has a delicate pumpkin flavor, sweetened and spiced just right, and it’s full of tender coconut bits!

One of my favorite things in the world!

Spread it on toast, serve it with cheese, add it to a cheeseboard, or do it the classic way and enjoy it straight from the jar.

However you get to it, Doce de Abóbora com Coco is cozy, sweet, and one of those classic recipes that just feels right this time of year.

Pair it with Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes for a cozy, satisfying meal that’s perfect for a Sunday family dinner. And since Halloween is just around the corner 🎃,...

Oi, Gente! Growing up in Rio in the ’80s and ’90s, Medalhão com Molho Madeira e Arroz à Piamontese (filet medallions with Madeira wine sauce and creamy rice) was the white-tablecloth restaurant classic. It was that “special occasion” meal... the one we ordered for birthdays, anniversaries, or any excuse to make dinner feel like a celebration. If you grew up in Southeast Brazil, you probably already know exactly what I’m talking about: that glossy Madeira sauce over tender steak medallions,...

Oi, Gente! I was digging in the freezer last night, trying to figure out dinner, when I stumbled upon a lost jar of apple butter... FROM LAST YEAR! 😳 But guess what? It was still pretty great. SURPRISE! 🎉 So, this morning, we spread it over some bread to enjoy with coffee for breakfast, and it was pure cozy vibes. And tonight we’re shaking it up with cachaça into cocktails because, well… fri-YAY! So if you don’t already have a stash of caramel apple butter hiding in your freezer, this is your...
