Celebrate Latino Culture – Rice Pudding Recipe #HerenciaLeche @SiempreLeche #Ad
*This is part of a sponsored collaboration with MilkPEP and DiMe Media. However, all opinions expressed are my own. Enjoying delicious food is an integral part of Latino culture.

One particular dessert always comforts me and overwhelms me with happy memories about joyful family gatherings and being surrounded by those who truly have mattered in my life. For these reasons, I love to prepare and enjoy rice pudding with my own family in the hopes that they will also be reminded of these good times we spend together whenever they enjoy this decadent treat. The best part about making rice pudding for my family is that it contains milk and its 8 grams of high quality protein with every serving.

*This is part of a compensated campaign with Latina Mom Bloggers and MilkPEP. However, all opinions expressed are my own. This week I have started to notice that the leaves are finally starting to change colors here in New York City. I really love the Fall because the weather gets cooler and it is a busy and exciting time preparing for the upcoming holidays. Everyone seems to be busy and productive and our home has returned to keeping up with school schedules, extracurricular activities, and sports. Since Hispanic Heritage Month is also in the Fall, many Latino families like ours also enjoy this time of the year because it allows them to share time-honored traditions with their families and loved ones. Preparing food together and sharing family recipes is an integral part of our culture. Many Latino family recipes contain milk as a key ingredient. Growing up in Spain, I can still recall the delicious cheeses that were served during the afternoon when kids were … [Read more...]
