This past week I had chosen to make food from Brazil. My main dish was supposed to be a stew with a variety of different meats in it, but for whatever reason it was difficult to find the meats at my local grocery store and a related large chain store. I was still able to make two out of three dishes. I made a dessert that was whipped cream, chocolate, and cookies. It was delectable, but super rich! I also made these cheese bread balls. Other recipes call for a few different ingredients, but after trying it I thought I could change a few things around and make it little better.
I would love some feedback from anyone regarding my recipes. You can email me at cwren1@athabascau.edu.
This coming week I am showing a group of Cub Scouts I volunteer with how to make natural sourdough starter and sourdough bread. But right now I am about to experiment with make sourdough pretzels. If I love it, I’ll post my recipe next week.
