Sorriso - Smile

Hoje meu dia foi maravilhoso, acordei as 6:30 am e estava com minha princesa Bella.
Ela agora tem 7 meses e esta crescendo muito rapido, isso me deixa bem triste. Eu amo demais essa fase que elas comecam engatinhar e falar sua propria limgua, hoje ela comeu papinha de pera e ela amou. Bella esta tendo bastante dificuldade para comer , este mes de janeiro os dentinhos dela apareceram e isso quer dizer que nao estamos dormindo muito bem.
Sou muito grata por ter uma ajudante tao dedicada ( Rebecca). Ela quer fazer tudo e ainda mais ... Isabella oficialmente esta chupando dedo e estou louca tentando trabalhar para que isto nao aconteca por muito tempo.
Hoje pela manha ela deu um sorriso igualzinho a esse, e obvio, ganhei meu dia!!

Today my day was marvelous. I woke up at 630 AM and spent time with my princess Bella. She is 7 months old now and is growing very fast. That makes my sad. I love this stage when they start to crawl and talk their own language. Today she ate pear baby food and she loved it. Bella is not a very good eater. This January she started teething and that means we haven't slept very well. I am very grateful for such a dedicated helper (Rebecca). She wants to do everything and more Isabella officially is a thumb sucker and I am going crazy trying to make sure this doesn't happen for much longer. This morning she smiled at me like this and made my day!!!

Manjar de coco - Receita da minha amiga Rebeca Price.

My goodness, as I eat here my Manjar de Coco ( Coconut Panacota - I think that's a good translation for it), I wanted to share quickly the recipe before people starts asking me.

I pretty much "created" this recipe because I combined/messed up (I thought I was doing the right one and in the middle of the process I realized it was a different one..lol) two other of similar dish and came up with this one.
Anyways, here's how it goes:

1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 can of coconut milk
1 can (use the same can from coconut milk or condensed milk) of whipping cream
1 cup coconut flakes
2 envelopes of Knox unflavored gelatin (you can find it in any grocery store on the Jell-o section)

First, "bloom" the gelatin with 5 Tbps of cold water, then microwave for 15 seconds.

Blend everything (the gelatin as well after it was bloomed) in the blender. At this point, it will start to get thick already.
Spray cooking spray on your bundt cake pan or any container you want it to be. Pour the mixture and refrigerate for about an hour.

Prepare the prunes sauce:
1 cup dried prunes/plums
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup of water

Simmer it in a small/medium saucepan until the sauce thickens up.
Wait for it to cool.

Turn the panacota and pour over the sauce

Jeito de Amar - Style of love

Eu esperei muito por esse Amor, eu esperei o bastante pra ser feliz.

Nao importa o jeito dele ou meu Jeito, nao importa se ele e doce ou amargo, se e quente ou frio.

Por que o que mais importa sao os coracoes que estao selados PARA TODA ETERNIDADE!!!

ele me ama de um jeitinho e eu amo ele mais um bucadinho!!!

I waited a long time for this Love. I waited long enough to be happy.. It doesn't matter his style or mine, if he is sweet or bitter, hot or cold. What matters the most is the hearts that are sealed for all eternity. He loves me one way and I love him a ton.
