Super Bowl Party Appetizer!

This week we're sharing our favorite party snacks to get you inspired for Super Bowl.

Here are some of our favorite ways to enjoy Brazi Bites as an appetizer. Who's excited for some seriously delicious game day grub??

PS - make sure to save yourself a few pieces before they make it to the crowd!

FOR THE BACON LOVERS 

Cheesy Bacon Appetizers - created by one of our favorite bloggers - Wendy from Around My Family Table. You can try this recipe with BB Original or Bacon. See full recipe here.



FOR THE MEATBALL FANS 

Cut Brazi Bites Original in half and stuff with meatballs. This is a big crowd pleaser!



FOR YOUR VEGETARIAN FRIENDS 

Cut BB Original or Jalapeño in half and stuff with veggie burger. This pic shows Brazi Bites Original with Chez Marie WOW Mushroom Veggie Patty. Yum! Chez Marie is also a Portland company (yay!). They make delicious patties using only real ingredients. Available in the freezer section of most stores that carry BB.



 FOR THE KIDS IN THE PARTY 

Serve BB in paper cones so kids (and adults) can carry them around popcorn style. These cones typically fit three pieces in each but you can make them as big or as small as you want. Serve one of each flavor per cone or mix and match to keep'em guessing!

Here we're using a vintage wood bottle crate to serve the cones. Fits them perfectly.

Check out this quick YouTube video on how to make easy paper cones. One sticker on the outer side instead of two works just as well and makes it even easier!

Holiday Party Appetizer

Are you hosting or going to a Holiday Party this season? Whether you are in charge of the whole meal or bringing a side dish, it's is a great time to try new things.

We're excited to share our latest recipe creation inspired by this Holiday Season. Here it goes: BraziBites Original cut in half, stuffed with salami and topped with parsley and green olives served as an appetizer.

Ingredients:
- a bag of BraziBites Original
- 1 handful of flat-leaf parsley
- salami
- green olives

1) Pre-heat your oven to 400F and bake BraziBites as instructed on package. Bake as many as you wish to serve.
2) Wash parsley and cut off stems. Set aside leaves.
3) Cut salami in thin slices. Anywhere between 1/8" and 1/4" is good but go as thick as you like.
4) After baked cut BraziBites in half, stuff with salami and top with parsley and olive

It's ready to serve. Share and enjoy!

Now available at Sprouts Farmers Market!

We're beyond excited to announce our launch at Sprouts Farmers Market today. All locations will carry BraziBites Original & Jalapeño in the freezer section starting this week. You'll be able to find our products in many new cities and states!

Sprouts has over 167 stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas & Utah with more coming soon.

In many ways the journey to reach new markets started over a year ago at the National Gluten-Free Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was the first time we introduced BraziBites to people outside the Northwest - it's a very large expo so people from all over the country attended. The response was overwhelming. We baked samples non-stop for 8 hours, the crowd couldn't get enough and we were thrilled!

The only problem was that we were only available in the Northwest at that time so our new fans couldn't find us after the Expo. The emails and social media posts came pouring and we have been flooded with requests ever since.

Our distribution growth with Sprouts means a lot to us and to those that have waited patiently for BB to be available at their local stores. Now, time to spread the word and eat some cheese bread!

Visiting the Central Market in my hometown Belo Horizonte, Brazil

A few weeks ago I visited my hometown of Belo Horizonte, Brazil and got to spend time with family and friends and enjoy some of my favorite foods. Nothing brings back memories like tasting something delicious you grew up eating, right? 

One of my favorite places to visit this time was the local Central Market. It's a hub for artisanal food that has been located in the heart of the city since 1929. It's evolved over time but stayed true to fresh, local foods with nothing highly processed in sight - which I love. The freshest cheeses, nuts, sweets and spices in the region can be found there. 

Not only did I love tasting many of these items but the vibrant colors all around inspired me and reminded me why we set out to start Brazi Bites and share the Brazilian cheese bread (pão de queijo) with the U.S. 

Here are a few of my favorite things from that day. I hope they inspire you too!

Cinnamon, honey, garlic and spices hanging from the ceiling. Had to buy a set to bring back to Portland. 

If you have a sweet tooth you can get dulce de leche and fruit spreads by the Kg. 


Peppers available in all colors, shapes and sizes

Nuts!



More peppers.



Love the yellow on this vintage coffee grinder, reminds of the Brazi Bites yellow. 



Minas cheese is the cheese used to make pão de queijo there. It's soft and salty, with a mild delicious flavor.
