Pie, Cinnamon, Apple Pie, Apple
...
Hi, guys!
Once again, this will be a post half in Portuguese, half in English. And this is because it's time, once again, of the Chá da Tarde challenge! This time, our theme recipes are for pies and filled cakes! So, I decided to use my favorite apple pie recipe, but with a more traditional look!

Oi, pessoal! Esse é o meu post dedicado ao Desafio Chá da Tarde de final / começo de ano! Lembrando que ele é desenvolvido pela Leila, do Delishville, e pela Cris, do From Our Home to Yours. Novamente agradeço por estarem se empenhando no desafio! E parabéns, pois realmente, tem muita gente que acompanha vocês nisso!

Pois bem, dessa vez, a minha opção foi pelo clássico: uma Torta de Maçã.Read more...

Fruits, Pancakes, Cinnamon, Easy
Breakfast, at home, isn't much different, day-by-day. Usually, it is a mug of chocolate milk and a simple sandwich, made of ham and cheese, or some creamcheese... I'm not saying that's bad (Really, it isn't!), but sometimes I miss something different. So many times I have tried to have some cerals with yogurt, but I never could make it.
But today was holiday, and I really wanted to differentiate the menu.

With just few and common ingredients, one can prepare pancakes so easily one could get addicted.
All you'll need is an egg, some oil, milk and pancake mix!Read more...

Few days ago, I was browsing some blogs when I stumbled across David Lebovitz post about Sugar High Fridays. Searching more about it, I discovered this was a nice monthly event for us, bloggers, to chalenger ourselves under some "guide rules".
This event was created by Jennifer, from The Domestic Goddess, and this month, it's been hosted the 48th edition by Anita, from Dessert First blog.
The main theme, as you may have already guessed, is making something with spices. And I am happy for that, cause I am learning about how to use them to guive new notes and hints to my dessert recipes! Good I found this just in time to make some nice recipe!Read more...

English, Apple, Fleur de Sel, Cinnamon

Last week, I have posted some late recipes, and this is the last one of that cicle... (Yay! Now back to the kitchen)
By Wednesday, I had some fresh cream in my fridge, and I wouldn't be able to wait till weekend. So, I needed to do something with it before it spoils (This is one of the expensive ingredients, here in Brazil). The problem is I only knew two things to do with fresh cream! Ice cream and custards. Ice cream would be a good option, weren't my freezer so full. So, I had to go for a custard. Searching on the web, I had found some good recipes, but custard isn't really a thing you need to follow a recipe, but just a general guidance of how would your combination be.
But well, just a custard? That's not really delicious, I must say. So, there I went to my fridge and search for a new add-on to that... Lucky enough, I had some apples. Apples go really good with custard (that's a sort of European taste, I think... Hehehe). In the end, I had two final results: The first one was a full pie sized of my cream, which later I turned to 6 ramekins and toped with a caramel toffee with fleur de sel. I will put all the recipes here, and feel free to choose which ones you'll use to make your own combination!
Enjoy it, guys!
