Lime Flan

 

Lime Flan

It has rained for the last three days.  I have transformed into different person accomplishing so many tasks that had fallen behind and with the rain, giving me reason not to leave the house. I have become efficient.  My girls on the other hand have sat through their entire holiday carton collection, filled an entire wall with Christmas art and have finally taken to following me from room to room.

 

Goodness!! What’s a mom to do? Throw a party!!

 

 

My girls needed a lift, a dose of holiday cheer, excitement.  Bring on the Flan!!  I’m not sure why I only serve flan for guests, special occasions or lug it any family event we have.  Really, aren’t my girls the most important guests I will ever have?  They are in fact only with me until they decide to tear my heart out and leave for college.  So why not throw a shin dig, a fiesta, a darn it will it ever stop raining so I can take these kids to park party.  Bring on the flan!!  Enjoy!!

    I just saw this Flan on Pinterest and came to read the recipe. It’s so original, delicious and beautifully presented! I am very happy I found your blog – love it!

    I would like to invite you to share this post (and other posts 🙂 ) on a new photo based recipe sharing site that launched this month. The idea is simple: all recipe photographs are published within minutes of submission. And, of course, the images link back to the author’s site.

    Ha! I remember doing that as a kid—following my mom around from room to roon ’til she went mad with me pestering her. Flan and a party—that was sure to lift their spirits 😉

    Oh! Looks delicious. I just came from supermarket and picked up some Carnation milk, which was next to the condensed milk. They were both on sale. If I read this post earlier, I would have picked up the condensed milk, too. I guess I’ll be going back to the supermarket. 🙂

    I adore lime and lemon, and I love Flan as well! I have never attempted to make it totally homemade…now is the time. I’ll throwaway the instant mixes, save the money that I spend on gourmet bought, and forget the bland grocery store variety! I will make my own..I can’t WAIT to show the MIL! Please include me in your excellent contest!
