#FlanFriday: Mother’s Day Edition. A Mango & Fleur de Geisha Green Tea Infusion
Well hello there, friends! This is flan talking. It's been a minute, I know. My maker Bren has had me all suppressed, neglected, and acting quite disinterested as of late. If I had to guess, I think she's been entertaining other desserts, having affairs wi...

#FlanFridays: Pumpkin Spice. A Sexy Remix. {Flan de Calabaza}
It's hardly believable I first made a pumpkin spice flan three years ago! Why in the world would I have made one of my more popular flans for another publication, though I shared it here, too?? It lives in another space and that just kind of bothers me. Bu...

Candied Grapefruit {Dulce de Toronja}
I've been blogging on my fashion blog, B So Chic! for the past week or so documenting the uber fancy that comes with doing live TV segments. Like arm candy.... and shoes... and pretty makeup. I can't wait to share the food element, which is why I'm even do...
