Brianna's birthday is coming up next week. Her birthday party will be this coming Sunday. However, she's been asking Mommy for "chipas," everyday for about two weeks. So tonight was the night! We made chipas together, a week before her actual birthday, to "kick off" the celebrations.
Brianna is a great little helper and she helped every step of the way, including rolling her own tiny "chipas." These are traditional Paraguayan and Argentinian cheese balls made with tapioca flour. We make them with vegan cheese and they are still super delicious!
Especially in the winter time, Bibi's Mom used to make "chipas" from scratch and serve them with hot chocolate. The fragrance of fresh cheese bread and chocolate proved irresistible to Bibi from a very young age. It's always evoked the warmth of good family times while it's cold out. Guess Brianna has captured this family tradition too! It's exciting!

Qué lindo es encontrar esas cosas que le van dando identidad a la familia, y hacen crecer en los niños y grandes el sentido de pertenencia.
Gracias por compartir con nosotros este lindo momento. Ah, me olvidaba! La pieza de Kiara está quedando preciosa!
Un abrazo grande!
Que ricas chipas!!! Me parece que esta faltando el chocolate calentito...
Esto trae lindos recuerdos...
Felicitaciones Bri por esas manitas tan ayudadoras.
Te queremos muchoooooooooo
Looks so yummy! What a big helper!! Great way to get into the celebration mood! Happy Birthday to Brianna!!! XOXOXOX
What a fun way to start of her birthday celebration. Hope all is going great with everyone and baby Kiara. These sound just like my grandmas recipe for "cuna pez". If they are similar then they are yummy! Question where do you find tapioca flour? I have never been able to make the recipe because I can't find the flour. I would love to introduce Caleb to some venezuelan culture.
Blessings,
