I've got all this great Happy New Year energy going right now and I have so many stories to tell and I'm going to San Francisco next week to visit Pixar and Skywalker Ranch. I just feel like I want to share the love and happy vibes.
If you were in my town, I'd say, "Hey, come over for dinner. I'll cook you something Cuban." But since that's not likely to happen, how about I just do a Happy New Year Cuban Food (Poster) Giveaway?
Yes. I think it's a wonderful idea.
If you were coming to dinner, I would be torn. What to serve? Check out this poster and just try to make a decision.
Because I look at this one every day in my kitchen, I think I'm going to try to master the art of making Pan Cubano. (See? It's not just cool looking. It's motivational, too.)
So much Cuban food. So little time. *sigh*
I'm going to be giving away Three (3) Cuban Food Posters to 3 lucky winners.
Each 16"x20" poster is unmounted and printed on heavy duty premium luster paper with archival fade-resistant inks.
It looks just like the photo above. Black background with white lettering and some distressing for an aged texture.
To enter the drawing for a chance to win one of the 3 posters, please leave me a comment on this post and tell me…
- What's your favorite comfort food? (I'd have to go with picadillo, myself.)
- Who makes it the very best? (Your mami? Tia Cuca? El Palacio de los Jugos?)
Leave one comment only, please!
Remember that if you want to enter the drawing for the poster, you must leave a comment on this post and I'll choose THREE winners on Wednesday, January 14th at 11:00 am PST.
Gracias and Buen Provecho!
If you're the impatient type (and you know who you are), my posters are for sale over at my Etsy shop: Marta Maria Designs. the 16"x20" is only $21.00 plus shipping and handling.
I also have a larger size (20"x30") and one (16"x20") on canvas, but that's not important right now.
Buena Suerte and Happy New Year!
Pick me! Pick me! ¡Por favor! I love your blog, recipes and am grateful for your guayaba cheesecake recipe in particular. It’s been a huge hit around here!
Tasajo with black beans, rice, and maduros. Mmm, my mom is the only one that makes tasajo the way I like it. She’s the best!
My favorite comfort food is chicharo. My grandmother use to make it the best!
My favorite comfort food is harina con picadillo with a banana and of course my Mother has to make it. She makes it with love so you can’t beat that.
BISTEC EMPANIZADO, ARROZ AMARILLO Y MADUROS, MADE BY MY MOM
How I miss my mother in laws Cuban Tamales. Hers were the best. Can’t find any like hers. Always hunting for a good Cuban tamal.
My favorite is Ropa veja with black beans and riceCooked by my Mima RIP( grandmother, I called her that from the time I could talk)
My favorite comfort food is picadillo con arroz con maiz that my Mami makes. I live in Maryland now while my family is still in Florida and not only can I not get any Cuban bread up here, but I really miss my Mami’s cooking! Gracias for the chance to win! 😉
My comfort food is Una Media Noche con un Cafe con leche. Que rico! Mi abuelita la hace a la plancha con el queso derretido!
Your blog is awesome! My favorite comfort food has always been and still is Arroz blanco, picadillo y platanitos maduros or a banana! Y mi Mami who is 82 years and lives with us cooks for us all. Everything she makes is AMAZING!!! We are truly blessed! A true Cuban Viejita!
This is going to sound weird but my all time favorite comfort food is arina con picadillo made by my sweet 79 year old mom who lives in Miami. Since I never win anything and I really want one of these for my kitchen why don’t you just tell me how to buy one y para el carajo!
Sin duda, arroz con huevo frito y platanitos maduros. Me recuerda al amor y unidad que sentiamos cuando primero llegamos de Cuba y no teniamos nada, pero mi Mami nos hacia sentir como si fueramos millonarios con esta simple comida. Cuando nos sentabamos en la mesa a comer, habia mucha risa y cuentos del dia a compartir y todavia despues de vieja, cuando me siento caida o triste esta es la comida que me gusta comer. Me encantaria tener tu poster Marta.
It’s between a cuban sandwich and bistec de palomilla for me! I make the best cuban sandwich but my son’s abuela makes THE BEST bistec de palomilla I’ve ever had!! My little Henry Felix hates meat but he’ll eat anything his abuela makes!!!
Marta, QUE BENDICION! I loved reading your Blogs, Your Website and now your family. Please consider me for your Subway Sign giveaway. The other day I brought in my Bialetti in to work and made the staff Cuban Coffee (Cortaditos). Yuu will not beleive this, but I was making the coffee ALL DAY-they loved it. The have come to realize everything CUBAN is AWESOME!Thanks again for your website!
Favorite Comfort food: Arroz con Pollo!!!Who makes it the very best: My mom, of course..It’s just perfection!!
My favorite comfort food is Arroz con Pollo a la chorrera! My mom makes the best!
Carne con papas! Is by far my favorite comfort food hecho por mami!!!
Favorite comfort food: ropa vieja con arroz blanco y frijoles negro. Mami is the Queen when it comes to this dish. ❤
I am new to your blog but is already a favorite. I live in a little town in Virginia and truthfully I think I am the only Cuban around! Since the loss of my parents, more so since losing my “papi”, I have entered my “hey, I am Cuban” phase, I now cook more Cuban than ever before, and often get that gut-wrenching craving for the food I grew up with. Luckily I am married to a “gringo” who loves Cuban food! I am a very good cook (you guess it: “no tengo abuela”, LOL). I would love to win that awesome poster, and would display it in my Cuban-American kitchen orgullosamente! Thank you!Clara Isabel Matilde Cardet Sanchez Corteguera Herrera de Barden 🙂
The Cubano sandwich made by my Papi. It’s a whole lot of comfort between two slices of bread. Yummmmmm!
Que rico Tostones and Yuca con ajo!! This sign definitely has all the well known Cuban dishes!!! Sending lots of love from NJ 🙂
Mi favorita es la ropa vieja como la prepara mi mamá. Y en el poster falto el ajiaco…
Chicken Fricasee! I am fortunate to have a wonderful neighborhood Cuban restaurant nearby 🙂
Oooops! Favorite comfort food…has to be picadillo also, who makes it best, was my dad…mine is not bad…
Un ajiaco con frituritas de malanga equal heaven!!!
Favorite Comfort food: guava pastelitosWho makes it the best: either me or my Tia, but she cheats and buys them from her locally bakery 😉 Holiday Bakery in Miami Lakes. Since I am in Northern California, I usually have to make my own 🙁
Favorite Comfort food: Has to be Arroz con Pollo!!!Who makes it the very best: Mi mama!
PS- Please pick me, I’ve never won and would love for my kids to see this in the kitchen everyday and remember their heritage!
Cuban comfort food (s)… hence cuban comfort body…Joking aside… bistec arroz cebollitas with salsita on the white rice, maduros, y un pozuelito de frijoles negro pasado por batidora con cebolla y perejil…
Used to be made by my Abuela Caridad to the point that people would come specifically to eat bistec and frijoles and my Tata cooked really well too but now its made as a team by my parents (and if i need it during the week… by Islas Canarias)
Congri y platanos maduros! Was always made best by mi abuela. : )
You are awesome! I love reading your blog. My favorite comfort food is my mami’s arroz con leche made by my mom, of course!! I have to settle for mine since she passed away but I miss my mami’s sooooo much!
My Mom’s arroz con pollo a la chorrera. She is 88 yrs old and cooks the best Cuban food ever. She is also famous for her boliche and congri. Her flan de coco…simply to die for. Would love to display this poster in her kitchen.
Favorite Comfort Food: Picadillo con Arroz Blanco y Tostones a lado.Who make it the very best: My Abuela Digna – a master of the Cuban cuisine who still cooks every day at 90 years old. She raised our family on all the items on your poster – a tribute to the traditions she (like all other Abuelas) brought over and alimented us throughout our years in exilio – even in the coldest days like today.
Me encanta la vaca frita y hay un restaurant que se llama “Rumba Cubana” que la hace riquisima!
Palomilla con arroz blanco y frijoles colorados !My mom was the best cook ever & her beans were top notch but she has lost most of her memory to Alzheimers. Every now & then with our help she comes pretty close to her A game 🙂
My favorite comfort food is Arroz Con Pollo, it brings me right back to childhood birthday dinners. My grandmother made it the best, she doesn’t cook anymore but after finding your recipe it seems just like the way she used to make it. I will try it soon! Thank you!
Congri made by the one and only Tia Hortensia. She even crumbles pedacitos de bacon on top and nothing could be more delicious.
I love a good Arroz con Pollo, as long as it comes from a good Cuban restaurant. Luckily, I’m in Miami, so that’s not hard to find. I love the poster, it would look great in my kitchen.
Masas de puerco bien fritas con sal. My dad makes them really good! He’s a great chef.
Bistec empalizado que mi Mima hacia! Que rico!
Comfort food: masitas de puercoEn donde las pueda comer…en casa, receta de mi padre (QEPD), Versailles en Miami, o en La Carreta
Arroz con pollo… My husband’s Tata made the best
Too many to pick just one!!!! ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!!!
Fricase de pollo, arroz blanco y tostones. My mom used to be the best, but after being out of Miami for a few years, I have mastered the art of making the perfect fricase. Now my dad prefers mine.
My favorite comfort food is ropa vieja. Like most of my favorite Cuban Dishes, the best cook is Mami of course. Though to not make her work too hard I will go pick some up at El Palacio de Los jugos. Que rico!
My favorite has to be rice with black beans. A big heaping bowl of it. And who makes it the very best….that would be me!!! Although my parents are Cuban my mom never cooked. I didn’t learn to cook Cuban food until I got married and my husband was used to home cooked Cuban food. Let me tell you I learned quickly. I bought every cookbook out there and looked at every website I could. (yours included!). 17 years later and I make a mean Frijoles Negro!!
Love this poster! My abuela (Mama) made all my favorite foods. With her Alzheimer’s my dad and I split up who would master what recipes. I can safely say I mastered her congre, and he’s got her ropa vieja down…. I have my very American husband well trained in a perfect cafe con leche also.
Picadillo is my absolute favorite. I also love platanitos. This poster is absolutely gorgeous and would look great anywhere.
Hi Marta. My favorite comfort food is Carne con papas which Is Cuban stew, with some white rice, tostones and aguacate. YummyMy mom used to make awesome cuban food and also desserts but she is no longer with us so I will have to say I am the cook in the family although I am not that great cooking cuban desserts. Maybe this year I can start making more desserts other than flan! Thank you for your wonderful blog!!
My favorite comfort food is arroz con pollo.
Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these posters. I love them!I have so many comfort foods but I’d say the one that has the most pull for me is macaroni and cheese. Until recently I would have said my mother’s is the best, but at a family get-together my brother-in-law made a batch I can’t stop thinking about. I need to ask him for the recipe!
Happy 2015, Marta! Abrazos!
Malanga with a little salt and a lot of butter made by my mother. That was medicine (and comfort) growing up in the Falagan house.
Hola Marta!My favorite comfort dish is ropa vieja con arroz (and platanos maduros, of course).
My abuela makes it the best…I’m a pretty close second, though. But DO NOT tell her that 😉 She will deny it anyway.
Arroz con huevos Fritos made by my Abuela.
Oh man it’s a tie between palomilla with purée de malanga and Piccadillo served con arroz blanco y huevo frito! My Mom makes them both the best and if I’m feeling down she can serve any of those dishes…despierta un muerto!!!! Lol
Arroz con Pollo is my favorite comfort food. My abuela made it the best.
Cuban Comfort Food: PICADILLO CON PAPITAS:)Who makes it the best: ME:):):)
My Dad used to make it the best but he is up in heaven instructing me how to do it every time!!!
Thank you for your wonderful blog Marta.
Love your blog! I have also made some of your recipes and enjoy reading up on all things Cuban. I live in NYC and would welcome your Subway Sign in my apartment. Let’s face it – it’s better than any other subway sign! Keep all the good stuff coming. Abrasos de una Cubana llamada Heidi!!!
My favorite comfort food would have to be platanitos fritos, hands down. My Ita (abuelita) makes the BEST platanitos. I don’t know what she does to those bananas that make them taste so good EVERY SINGLE TIME.
My favorite comfort food is huevos fritos, arroz blanco and platanos maduros made by mom. NO matter how old I get it just hits the spot more than any other food combination. Love your blog!
Bread pudding. Yum. My mom used to make awesome batches of it!
Marta, my cuban comfort food of choice ismy husband’s Lechon Asado ( made in our caja china) con plantaino maduro, yuca, y congri!! Love your blog and your lovely sense of humor! Thanks for sharing! Besos
My favorites are vaca frita and boliche YUMM
Marta, my cuban comfort food of choice is white rice. I could eat a bowl of it by itself or with a fried egg or with black beans, or cold directly out of the rice cooker! I make it myself and I like it sticky. Truly enjoy your posts.
Comfort food, any cuban food made feel just fine.but la raspa del arroz con leche acabado de hacer en la cazuela me hace sooooo happy. love ur blog, thanks for sharing
What’s your favorite comfort food? Dificilisimo…arroz frijoles negros, lechon, maduros y yuca con mojo.Who makes it the very best? My mom- THE BEST
When I need to reset I go for simple food. Bistec encebollado, a pile of fluffy white rice (7 minutes in the pressure cooker) and a nice banana a little on the green side. When I was growing up plantains were hard to find so my mom would give us a regular banana instead. You gotta do watcha gotta do right? So now, that’s comfort food for me. My mom’s sazón is the best but mine’s not bad either. Lots of comino, ajo y sal. Yummy yummy in my tummy.
My favorite comfort food is Ajiaco and mi abuela Nena made the best!
I gave this as a housewarming gift to someone and would love one for myself! My absolute favorite meal is ropa vieja con arroz y frijoles negros….. my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
Happy New Year Marta …My favorite comfort food is Arroz con Pollo made by my Abuela !!!
Maduros!!! I couldn’t get enough of them while visiting Miami for Christmas!
Im simple! 2 fried eggs over a bed of rice with platanitos Maduro and an avocado salad! Okay now I just talked myself in making it! I make them good my nobody has made them as good as my Mom! I sure miss her cooking!
Coco frio y pasellitos de carne! Just a thought! Love your poster! I hope I get lucky and win one! God bless!
I’m originally from El Salvador. But I love ALL of your recipes, thanks for sharing a little bit of your heritage with some yummy food. God bless
Favorite comfort food raboMy mom’s is the best!
Malanga. In any form. Frituras, fried in thin strips, puree’, crema de malanga. Jeez. I am now going to have to go get some malanga. Finding good malanga is an iffy thing in Naples, but it must be done.:)
I tried last year, please send me one……pleeez
Hola Marta! Hands down may fav comfort food has to be “carne con papas”!!! I could eat it everyday! My Mami makes a delicious one! It wasOne of the first recipes I asked her to teach me when I first got married. 🙂
What can I say, I’m New to your web site, I’m Cuban, and I want the poster! Love your site thanks for having it!
Marta, I would love one please!-Frank @werenotyellingwerecuban
Oh my my, oh my my, how I want this, want it bad!! I love , love this poster! I tried winning last time, this time it’s different!! 🙂 un cafesito for favor!
My favorite comfort food is “Cuban” chicken fried rice made by my grandmother Julia and now my mom, Zoraida. As not too many Americans know Cuba had a lot of Chinese immigrants. My grandfather worked in una carniceria in Habana with Senor Wong who taught him many Chinese/Cuban slang words including “hoka fo” which he said meant “good food!”
My favorite comfort food is frijoles negros con arroz blanco! Mima makes the best!!! She doesn’t cook anymore so I make them now for her. Boy do I miss my mom’s cooking!By the way…big fan of yours!
My favorite Cuban confort food is Arroz con salchicha. I make it every month. Thanks to you for sharing your recipe. Also my moms Yuca con mojo de ajo !!!

Happy New Year to you and yours…My favorite comfort food is arroz con pollo and my

Hi Marta, my ultimate comfort food is carne asada con arroz blanco. And nobody makes carne asada like my mom, Caruca. 😉 Yummy!!!!!!!
Carne con papas made by ‘mi suegra’ con todo su amor
Favorite comfort food is ropa viene and no one makes it better than mi suegra Fefita Montenegro!
My favorite comfort food are croquetas de mi Tia Carmina and pure de Malanga. I miss her so much. Was not a good cook, but she made the best croquetas you could ever eat. It was a gift she had. She taught me, but I cannot make them as good as hers.
Picadillo is my favorite and both mi mami y mi abuela made it wonderfully. I was fortune enough to watch my abuela and learn her recipe before she passed away.
My favorite Cuban comfort food is Arroz con Pollo (a la chorrera) , The person who makes it the best is my madrina Mireye Hernandez!
Bistec empanizado, tostones and congri (hey, the sign is missing congri)!
My favorite was arroz con pollo prepared by my papa. My dad did most of the cooking and was the best!
Marta, my favorite comfort food is arroz imperial my mima, en pas descanse, always made it for us at a moments notice. We were 7 kids so i always made sure to get a huge serving.
Cafe con leche y pan Cubano tostado will always lift my spirits!Alas, that may not count as food, so my choice is potaje de fabada (con arroz, of course! I keep telling the Spaniard I married that Cubans cannot eat naked beans!) Y mientra , tenia abuelitas, pero no ahorras, digo que you lo hago lo mejor!
There was and never will be NOTHING more comforting than el Arroz con Pollo a la Chorrera in that same 50 year old casuela (con petit-pois y pimientos rojos) de mi tía Clara con tostones Hawaiianos methodically prepped and timed to fry exactly when the rice is done while having a “boh-why-ser”. NOTHING! miss that big-time. and on a cold day… it snores the mango
Hola Marta! I’ve been enjoying your blog for the last few months and have made a few of your great recipes. My husband and I are in the process of buying our first home and I would love to have your poster in my new kitchen. I’ve Cubanized my Mexican husband and I know that he will enjoy it as well! My Cuban comfort food is arroz con pollo. My mami made it the best and I still have not found another that compares. I was just watching your mami on the video about the internet. My kids came to see what was making me giggle so much! God bless you and your mami!
Marta, my favorite cuban comfort food is Picadillo with white rice, black beans and maduros.My mother used to cook the best picadillo!!!
My fav comfort food is Ropa Vieja, which I loved the way my Mom made it,I loved the next day, she use to make Ropa Vieja Flautas for lunch which of course only a Cuban Cali will do, but since she is no longer with us,My daughter now makes it
y yo creo que le cada mejor que Mami , she would be proud
My favorite Cuban comfort food is potaje de chicharo! My mother-in-law Sofia makes this split pea soup that is delicious, and never the same. She adds whatever she has on hand; sometimes ham, sometimes chorizo, sometimes pork. That makes it all the better and you never know what you’re going to get.
My favorite comfort food is picadillo with white rice, black beans, platanos maduros. My grandma made the best..RIP mima…
During the winter months, there is nothing more comforting and delicious than a bowl of ajiaco! The very best is still made by my Dad!**Pipo, si estas leyendo este blog, ponte a pelar viandas! Necesito ajiaco que hace un frío que pela! 😉
Marta my favorite comfort food is picadillo con arroz blanco…que rico!my dear late abuela dulce maria made the best picadillo in our family…luckily she taught me how to make it just like hers and I taught my daughter-in-law so my nietecito y nietecita can enjoy this cubanisimo dish any time they like! You see I live in Connecticut and they live in Florida….but a pesar de la distancia…
keeping las tradiciones alive!
Miriam
Fave comfort food is arroz con pollo and i make it the best according to my hubby and 3 kids, the 4th is only 5 months…but she agrees 😉 love this poster so much!!!!
Definately arroz con pollo with platano maduros. My mom made the best!
Simply…for comfort, arroz con frijoles negros. That is all.
Martica, I have to say picadillo has to be my favorite. I make it with turkey meat since we don’t eat red meat. Is everyone’s favorite at home. We eat it with congri and salad. On special occasions, I will fry some platanos maduros. Delicioso! Un abrazo,
Hi Marta! My favorite Cuban food is the same as yours: PICADILLO (con arroz blanco y platanitos maduros). When I was a little kid, growing up in Miami, My family couldn’t afford to go out to restaurants very often. But I remember one particular time when we did and I couldn’t read the menu so I ordered Picadillo. Everybody at the table laughed at me. First, because apparently (according to them) it was uncool to order that at a restaurant. But mostly, because we were at a Chinese restaurant. Whatever…
Arroz con pollo. My grandmother (father’s mother) doesn’t make it the tastiest, but for some reason it’s so good. It remind me of being a kid. She always serves it with tomato and avocado salad and extra olive oil to pour on rice. It’s always comforting to be in their cozy apartment.
My favorite comfort food is pure de malanga. My mom would make it for me but now I buy it at Isla Canarias the bakery side.
My favorite is guayana con quest cream! My grandmother would prepare it every afternoon after school snack. I was the youngest of the Pedro Pan children that arrived from Cuba at the tender age of 1yr 10 moths and I long and hold on to every tradition in hopes that one day I will get to visit my Cuba! I would so much love to have this poster in my home to pass down to my grandchildren.
Sure there are many dishes that, when made with love and passion, comfort me. Arroz con pollo, congri’, yucca, tostones, some have even mentioned malanga. And I would agree, 100%, if it wasn’t for the one dish that makes all of those just “food” when compared to my favorite and most comforting that the Cuban kitchen has to offer.Pan con mantequilla y café con leche. Period.
The way the butter pools in the basins of the bread between the crust and the miga. The way the butter rises and acts like a protective layer on the surface of your café con leche – protective in the sense that you are ensured butter in every bite. If you are fortunate enough to be left with just enough leche and just enough pan… you take that piece of buttered bread and push it to the bottom of your mug and soak up the remaining milk. I would inevitably hear:
“¡Nino! ¡Usa la cuchara!”
That is comfort. A reminder that times were easier once. A reminder that as soon as I was done with my desayuno Cubano I could go out and play.
I forget to put out the cuchara every once in a while.
Comfort food: bistec empanizado con arroz blanco (I dream of it!) Unfortunately, I haven’t learned how to cook it correctly. Mi tía Cari bistec empanizado is to die for! Haven’t had it in years since she lives in Miami and I’m in Panama City:(
Favorite Comfort Food – Harina so hot that when you crack an egg, it cooks it!! Just like my Mom used to make.
My favorite comfort food is Olla de Carne, a Costa Rican stew. ANd it is my mami who make sit the best.
My comfort food is arroz con leche. My mom made the best. Regards from New Jersey!
My Favorite comfort food would have to be arroz con pollo. My Grandmother from Cuba, Grandfather from Puerto Rico-Best of both worlds! Both were awesome cooks but I’m going to give this one to Abuelo:) I just found your blog and what a comfort! Love it-Thank you!
Ajiaco con quimbombo. Mami.
Arroz con Pollo & batido de Mamey & Flan; Yummy! made by my Cuban husband, all of his Mom’s recetas… son Deliciosas!!!!
My favorite comfort food is definitely Carne con Papas. My oldest daughter & I make it best. Mmmmm…I’m ready to eat some now!
My favorite food is Bistec Empanizado and malanga pasada por la batidora con un egg yolk….(spanglish at its best)My grandmother use to make this for me. RIP Abuela!
Great giveaway!
Liz
My favorite comfort food is Picadillo and my Dad’s is the best! Every time I try it elsewhere, it never comes close! I’ve even tried his recipe and it’s not the same.
Marta I love your blog. My favorite comfort food is Arroz con Huevo Frito and a platanito manzano. My mom’s was the best, her fried eggs would always have a crunchy crust around it. She would always make it for me. I miss it very much, she passed away 6 months ago unexpectedly. She would have loved this poster for her kitchen. Thank you for the opportunity.
You have my all-time comfort food items all lined up on your subway poster: arroz blanco, picadillo and frijoles negros ( a few platanitos maduros wouldn’t hurt.) Of course, I too believe my Mami makes the best of all three.(I have bought your cuban food subway poster for both of my boys and I too would love to have one.)
My favorite is bistec empanizado…love it!
Love your blog! My favorite comfort food is Arroz con Pollo a la Chorrera. The best I’ve had was made by a former neighbor named Josefina. Since Josefina is not around anymore, I have to say I make the best.
There will never be anything like my Abuelita’s cooking! My absolute favorite is Congris 🙂 The ultimate comfort food <3
Marta, my absolute FAVORITE Cuban Comfort Food is my Papi’s Rabo Encendido. Y punto!
My favorite comfort food, is “arroz con pollo” and my adorable “ñañita” makes it the very best. Que rico!!
What’s your favorite comfort food? Pan (Cubano of course) con croqueta!!Who makes it the very best? Vicky Bakery in Cooper City, FL
I’m with you Marta, Picadillo con arroz blanco makes me feel all cozy inside. My mom made it the best, but now I have taken the torch with pride since she had a surgery several years ago that left her physically and mentally disabled. Talking with her about old Cuban recipes seems to bring her back to me just a little bit. She was my last link to all things Cuban, so your blog has been a God send!! I have to say I make a mean Flan too. :)Muchos carinos!!
I made it before the drawing!! hee heeMy Cuban comfort food is pastelitos de guayaba/empanaditas de guayaba. Sometimes I need a LOT of comfort. 🙂
