Walking down a snack aisle in the grocery store elicits a lot of eye rolling and groaning from me. Just about every product that is touting itself as a healthy way to give you energy throughout the day is really filled to the brim with sugar and artificial ingredients. I’m all for a balanced diet but most of these snacks are just processed fake food. Luckily there’s a bunch of other options to keep as feeling satiated between meals… Nuts....
I am a lifetime consumer of and enthusiast for hot chocolate. Growing up, Santa left us multipacks of different flavored instant hot chocolates in our stockings (and sometimes, he still does!).

Growing up, breakfast revolved around 3 main ingredients: black coffee, french bread and butter. Other types of food were occasionally appreciated, but if bread, coffee or butter were missing… boy, oh boy… not a good start to the day. Especially because we would have to deal with the fury of the dragon (my mom’s bad mood!) for the rest of the day. The bread of choice? Any type of french bread: usually little french rolls that are sold in any neighborhood padaria (Brazilian bakeries that specialize mostly in bread) or french baguettes....
