This Brazilian classic has been eaten for ever.  Now I’m not Brazilian, nor do I have any Brazilian heritage but I do know good food when I taste it. And this is GOOD!!  I had this years ago and set out to duplicate the flavors to form the perfect E meal in my Trim Healthy Mama way of eating (Learn more about THM here).
