Happy Pink Saturday. Today I'm spending the weekend with my family in south Texas. A typical Saturday morning when I was growing up consisted of a huge homemade breakfast. My mother would go to the local bakery, which is called "panaderia" in Spanish. She would select our favorite sweet bread, donuts, and cookies. When I come visit my mom, she still goes to the local bakery to pick up fresh bread in the morning. I will be wearing my Pink Senorita Apron while I cook. I've made several of these for sales and I'm pleased that my customers have loved them. I'm the Senorita Chef around the house.
The local bakery makes fresh bread all day long. The air is filled with the delicious aroma of baking bread and the shelves are filled with freshly cooked sweet bread.
A lot of color is used in making the breads appealing. The use of bright pinks is common in Mexican sweet bread. The bread below is called "moyete" in Spanish. They are my daughter's favorite bread.
I know I will be stuffed from over eating a huge breakfast, so I'm going to limit myself to 2 meals. I probably should get out and do some walking to work it off.
My favorites are the cookies. I love plain sugar cookies. They are light and flaky.

Come with me as I check out fun and exciting Saturday blog events and parties!

These all look so yummy, and we did the French equivalent this morning! My husband went out and came back with croissants (of course), pain au chocolat and chausettes de pomme, which means 'apple slippers' - they're just a kind of apple turnover. It was lovely! How nice to think of you doing something similar in your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteI can see why your customers love that apron!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the apron! I think I need one ~ :-) There is a lovely Mexican bakery near me and it is such a temptation. Oh my, they have some muffins with pecans that are to die for! Not really sweet but scrumptious.
