Pastelitos de Guayaba Recipe (Guava Pastry)

July 27, 2016 By Marta Darby

Marta’s Homemade Pastelitos de Guayaba Recipe (Guava Pastry)

My husband is an Internet Marketing Guy. (He prefers to be called “The Marketing Guru,” but that’s not important right now.) He tells me search engine facts like: “Your site has had X number of hits today.” This information totally makes me feel cool, although I’m a little puzzled by how it is that people are finding me.

He patiently explains: “They’re Googling Cuban things.”

That sentence right there throws me into spasms of laughter. (Holy cow! Who are these people? Can they be stopped? I crack myself up.)

When I finally catch my breath again (and he stops frowning) he goes on to let me know that people are searching for “keywords” such as: Cuban family, Cuban-American life, and even “Kevin Bacon to Andy Garcia.” 

But apparently, the “Cuban thing” that people are Googling the most and which most often leads them to My big, fat, Cuban family is (drum roll please). . . “pastelitos de guayaba.”

“My guava pastelitos are getting Googled?”

Yikes! That means that all of cyber-space knows that I’m just a cheater and a poser.

Or . . . (as The Marketing Guru spins it) I’m just a Smart Cuban Cook living in a guava pastelito-challenged location. (phew!)
