Black Beans As Side Dish

This kind of side dish is very common in Brazil and Portugal and this is just a version I like to make very often. It normally goes with barbecue meat and/or white rice.

Home-made Butter/Garlic & Herb Butter

This recipe is just for you to have a little fun in the kitchen, just because this process might take a little time and the final product is not as great at you would expect. After all it's just butter. But not any butter. This is the butter YOU made.

Now you can brag to your friends you have some kind of special talent in the kitchen. Or maybe not... But they don't need to know that, don't they? Now just between us, don't you just love hot bread with garlic & herbs butter? Well, here you go my friend: your very own batch of that butter to use whenever you want. And all you need is cream and a mixer...

Portuguese Chicken Rice

Probably the best chicken rice you'll ever taste. It is really good and it's one of those dishes where you'll have another serving for sure because one serving is just not enough.

Beer Batter Onion Rings

I've always been very intimidated with cooked vegetables, specially onion. Truth is I changed completely my opinion when I tried this recipe. Plus, it's super easy to make.
