Christmas Traditions from Portugal | "Bolo Rei" - How to make Portuguese King Cake | Video recipe
Comforting and homey but at the same time exotic enough to make this year’s holiday meal just a little more special, the Bolo Rei, Portuguese King Cake, is a delicious mix of hearty white dough, crunchy nuts and raisins and sweet crystallized fruit.
This tasty seasonal treat is traditionally served from Christmas Day on December 25th until the Day of the Kings, or Dia de Reis, on January 6th. Bolo Rei’s perfectly round shape is itself a reference to the biblical Three Kings, the three wise men from the East who traveled by the legendary light of the Star of Bethlehem to the birthplace of Jesus Christ. With its meaningful history, rich taste and mouth-watering aroma, the Bolo Rei, Portuguese King Cake, makes the perfect addition to any holiday meal.

Help me It’s like the walls are caving in Sometimes I feel like giving up But I just can’t It isn’t in my blood Laying on the bathroom floor Feeling nothing Overwhelmed and insecure Give me something I can take to ease my mind, slowly.. É um sonho que trago comigo Se acreditares sonho contigo Keep telling me that it gets better Does it ever? Help me It’s like the walls are caving in Sometimes I feel like giving up No medicine is strong enough Someone help me I’m crawling in my skin Sometimes I feel like giving up But I just can’t It isn’t in my blood Eu vou acreditar! Looking through my phone again Feeling anxious Afraid to be alone again I hate this Trying to find a way to chill Can’t breathe, no Is there somebody who can help me It’s like the walls are caving in Sometimes I feel like giving up No medicine is strong enough Someone help me I’m crawling in my skin Sometimes I feel like giving up But I just can’t It isn’t in my blood Eu vou acreditar! Que vamos conseguir Que vamos conquistar Nós somos Portugal Uma só voz E um coração! Help me It’s like the walls are caving in Sometimes I feel like giving up But I just can’t It isn’t in my blood Eu vou acreditar! It isn’t in my blood Que vamos conquistar Nós somos Portugal Uma só voz E um coração! It isn’t in my blood
