Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

We’re so inspired by this green lunch by @mistipsparati_! We asked her how she got the pasta so perfectly green and the answer is simple - add a little bit of green food coloring into the water when boiling the pasta, and voila! Genius. ❤️❤️❤️

Little Passports Recipe -Traditional Brazilian Brigadeiro

image

This recipe is from our friends at Little Passports, a monthly educational subscription introducing kids to exciting global adventure.

Let’s spin the globe and land on Brazil, home of the delicious brigadeiro, the national beloved chocolate treat. These fun and festive chocolate bon bons are easy to make and taste like chocolate caramels. You can find brigadeiros at most Brazilian parties – especially kids’ birthday parties – and thanks to this brigadeiro recipe, now in your home too!

What You Will Need:

  • Pan & wooden spoon
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 dozen mini cupcake papers
  • Chocolate sprinkles
  • Shaved coconut

Instructions:

  1. Put half of the butter in your pan over a medium flame.
  2. After the butter melts, add the condensed milk.
  3. In a small bowl or glass, dissolve your cocoa powder in a half cup of water (this will help it dissolve into the milk).
  4. Add the cocoa-water to the pan and stir for 15-20 minutes until the mixture thickens. Check the thickness with your spoon (when you drag your spoon through the middle of the pan, the mixture should stay separated for a moment before coming back together).
  5. Once thick, spread the chocolate-y mixture (we’ll call this the “dough”) onto a small cookie sheet or plate and place in the fridge to cool for about 20 minutes.
  6. Once chilled, use a spoon to scoop up small amounts of the dough into your hands and form balls (don’t handle them too much or your body heat will make the dough stick!).
  7. Roll the balls in the sprinkles and/or the coconut and set them in mini cupcake papers to chill in the fridge.
  8. Chill the balls for about 15 minutes, and they’re ready to eat!

Recently we have been obsessed with zucchini. We have been seeing a plethora of zucchini pile up at all the local markets as the end of summer nears so you can bet we’ve been loading up on it.

Here is an excellent, creamy, yummy zucchini soup recipe we made the other day- inspired by and adapted from Food and Wine Magazine.
