Our Top Three Favorite Latin-Inspired Pastries

Craving something sweet?

There is sure to be something delicious

waiting for you right here in Southern, CA

so...

in culmination of Latino Heritage month 

we're sharing our "Top Three Latin inspired"

snacks,

drinks,

AND 

pastries!

--------------------------------

Up first...

My life literally changed with 

the introduction of one item

Pastel de Guayaba

(Guava and Cheese Strudel)

from Porto's Bakery and Cafe

read Rosa Porto's

story here

then

call ahead

to order a dozen

(or two)

for 

in-car pickup

or 

to bake at home

Guava jam w/ sweetened cream cheese

They are so good that hardest part will be

trying not to eat them all in one setting!

Churros

If you've been to any county fair,

you've tried one of these

fried

rolled

tossed

lightly in cinnamon and sugar

What more is there to say?

Pan Dulce

You can find these just about anywhere,

but please note that NOT all sweet bread

is created equally

So if you're looking for ...

soft

fluffy

understated tones

of sweetness

choose wisely

mini choncas

(3 for $1)

from

La Favorita Bakery

are a good introduction

for even your youngest 

not too rich

not too sweet

and baked fresh

every day of the week!
