I love Brazilian food.
Black beans and rice are staples in most meals. I ate that combination twice a day for pretty much every day I was in Rio. It’s a good thing I like it so much! 
Chicken Stroganoff was my favorite dish that I tried when I went to Brazil the first time, and I liked it so much that I found a recipe for it online, and I make it every now and then. AND, when I went back to Rio this past summer, Leila (my friend Luan’s mom) cooked it for me because I had mentioned how much I liked it. She is one of the ladies from the church that we worked with in 2007 who cooked dinner for us every night….which is when I ate this particular meal the first time. It was absolutely delicious!! Obrigada Leila
André taught me how to make pizza (Brazilian style) this summer. It’s so yummy, and I have made it for my family a few times. In fact, I made it tonight, and it was great. The only thing I do differently, is: I buy Pillsbury pizza dough in a can, rather than making my dough from scratch. André always makes his own, but I didn’t really pay enough attention to that part……
And, I enjoyed my favorite Brazilian drink tonight: Guaraná!!!! I bought a couple of two liters at a store called “Tienda Nony” last week, and I had forgotten that I had them at first. But, while I was cooking the pizza tonight, I remembered. And I was sooooo happy. I really do have a serious addiction to that stuff.
