This Easy Flan Recipe Is Absolutely FoolproofRecipes
My first attempt at making flan was a few months after becoming a newlywed. My husband was stationed at Fort Hood, we had recently moved away from family and friends, and I was hosting my first dinner party. Thinking back now I giggle at myself for thinking I could pull off the menu I had planned. Two appetizers, a specialty cocktail, a main course with salad, and flan. Let us just say my guests went home hungry and I was left devastated.

Cold Brewed Jamaica (Hibiscus Iced Tea)Recipes
At taco trucks, my drink of choice is always jamaica, that bright red brew that is a little tart, a little sweet and totally refreshing on a hot day. Made with dried hibiscus flowers, jamaica is easy enough to make at home, but it wasn’t until recently that I discovered how much tastier — and even simpler! — it can be when you cold-brew it overnight in the refrigerator.
