I remember when my mom would make Classic Flan at home. It always seemed fancy, somehow, but it really isn’t too complicated. (You do need to be watchful during all parts of the preparation/cooking, though!) Did you know?

To know me is to know I love baking. (And shoes and dresses and gardening, but those are all for different blog posts.) The first recipe I remember learning how to make as a kid was chocolate chip cookies and I had a kids’ baking cookbook that I very nearly wore out. I also remember […] Read more…
I’m fairly sure the Internet doesn’t really need another post with the world-famous Special K Bars recipe. I mean, seriously.
