New Free Travel Watercolor Paint box Tutorial and Happy Accidents

 

I would like to wish all of you a Happy New Year! 

 

Coconut Flan

I know many of you have heard of happy little accidents that can happen in the art studio but I recently experienced a happy little accident in the kitchen.  I wanted to try to make flan during the holiday season as a dessert and had never made it before.  The last time I had it was when my son made it a few years ago.  I had it very often as a dessert growing up.  The recipe I used called for a can of evaporated milk and a can of sweetened condensed milk.  I thought I had both ingredients when getting ready to make the flan only to to find out that I was missing the sweetened condensed milk.  I did have sweetened coconut milk though.  Well, I substituted the sweetened coconut milk for the sweetened condensed milk.  I wasn’t sure how it would turn out and warned my family before we each had a piece for dessert.  Well it turned out amazing and my family loved it!  It’s so nice to be surprised by happy little accidents no matter where they occur (If you are interested in the recipe I will add it at the end of this post).
