Making Mexican Pasteries for the Holidays

My family and I all making Buñuelos for the holidays, instead of cookies we do something sort of like tortillas with flour and let them dry and fry them. They taste so good, you sprinkle sugar & cinnamon and Wa-la they are so gooood!!!

Play house

During this past weekend I was at my craft show it one of the best times I had all year. I was able to meet all kinds of people I meet a special person there that also was selling items, and made friends; she gave me this play house and wanted to share with everyone, only if I could be small to be inside this little house. Isn't it nice? I asked my husband to built me a real one so I can have my little house and he said yes. The sad part of this is that I did not get a chance to ask the lady what her name was or how I can keep in touch with her. All I know is that she is from Minnesota. Thank you so much lady from Minnesota you made a family very happy with the doll house.

Maitha Tea Time.

I dedicate this post to my favorite niece Princess Maitha, she lives in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. My dream is to be with her for a whole year and let her know what our traditions are in America, and teach her how to do pastries. Miss you little one but one day maybe we might have time for us to play tea and make Auntie Maria's cookies. For now I only can offer you my pics and show you my creations. They were fun making and they taste sooooo good. Sis, you are going to have to tell your kids the story about the Gingerbread man, when he ran away. Hope everyone has family close to their hearts and teach those little ones how fun the Holidays are. Since my only son is young and is a teenager he has other things going. For now I tend to have alone creating things and hoping one day I will have someone to teach.

Love, Auntie Maria

Look!!! They are so small, yummmy...

Run, ruan as fast you can you can not eat me...
