Now that we are entering this time of the year, we tend to question ourselves more and more about what to do with our kids to take advantage of this beautiful time of resting.
To talk about Frank Montero is to talk about discipline, resolve and dedication, but you can’t forget to mention his contagious joy, festive demeanor, and of course, Zumba.
Mother’s Day should actually be: “Another Day to Honor Mothers.” I don’t think there’s a love as unconditional, special and sacred as that of the woman who gave birth to you. For this reason and a thousand others, my family has a tradition of planning (in the best possible way) a simple, yet very meaningful – and, of course, delicious – celebration.
My two siblings and I agree that the Mother´s Day celebration is one of the most important family events. We have a lot to be thankful to our mother for! She has always been very supportive of us. We´re so excited! We´re getting together after five years to celebrate it, and what better way to start than with lots of hugs, a delicious lunch made by my sister and, of course, a fabulous dessert made by me?
For years, when I still lived in Colombia, I made my mom this delicious torta de pan (bread pudding cake) to honor her day. It´s our tradition: coffee and a nice piece of this dessert that´s soft, sweet and tart, because of the fruit sauce covering it. We never had any leftovers. This is truly a successful dessert.
So I invite you to get together with your family and friends and make this delicious torta de pan. I guarantee they will be amazed. If you´re lucky enough to have your mother with you, spoil her like she deserves and sweeten her life!
Chef Carey has an interesting background, to say the least. He is the son of an Irish-American father and Cuban mother, who was born in New York and raised in Puerto Rico.
