For those of you who enjoyed the flavors of the Brazilian Dinner, you might also like this menu - it is one of our favorties. I am not sure if it has been as a monthly dinner menu or not...
All the flavors of this combine so well together to really make the meal. I think the original menu had fried plantins too - I have not made those.
