1000 ways meat!

So, I know I haven't posted anything in a long time, but this dish it's something that everybody who comes and eats at my house, wants the recipe, that's why I decided to post it.
The name came from the fact that we can eat in some many ways and it's so easy. With bread, with rice, with mashed potatoes. I made a shepards pie out of this meat and let me tell you. It's Awesome!!!!
Everything start with a little ground beef and it just becomes this mix of great flavors!!
Easy Peasy Meat
2 pounds of ground beef ( You can use ground turkey as well )
2 yellow onions
2 green peppers
2 little packets of Goya with azafran
1 can of Rotel ( any kind will work ). I always use the one I have available
Cilantro ( as much as you can eat...I'm addicted to this)
Start sauteeing the onions and the green peppers with some olive oil. Once they nice and brown, you add the grown beef and mix, I always like to break the meat in nice little pieces. At this point you can add all the rest of the igredients and let it cook for a good time ( or you can eat right away ), but I like to let the flavors blend nicelly.
Usually while the flavors blend, I go in my pantry, grab some tortilla chips and eat some of the meat as a little dip, just because I can and I'm hungry.
My kind of sheppards pie: Once the meat is all done, you can lay the meat on a pirex plate with some mashed potatoes on top, add some cheese and put in the oven for 5 minutes on broil. Perfectionnnnnnn!!!
Or if you want keep it simple, you can eat with a nice bowl of white rice.

I couldnt believe when I saw the post and it was Flan. I had just taken mine out of the oven . I did the brazilian version of it and my husband favorite.

Igredients:
Custard:
4 eggs
2 cans of condensed milk
2 cans of whole milk
Caramel:
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
Mix all the custard igredients on the blender and mix for around 5 minutes untill all incorporated.
In the meanwhile put the sugar and the water on the stove pan until it gets to a light brown color. Use the caramel to coat the bundt pan. And pour custard over it. Put the pan in the oven over 350 degrees. You can use the aluminum foil on top of the pan, this way it wont burn. Mine took 2 hours and 1/2 until I tough it was ready.

COCONUT CUPCAKES

I am so happy that I decided to make these for a superbowl party Im going tomorrow. They are delicious, moist and so tasty. The only thing its threw me off was the almond extract...Im not a fan at all...But hubby was happy with the results.

I used this recipe and like always Ina always get the best recipes.

I took a couple pictures...But they came out terrible, so instead I will post pictures of my baby girl who is turning 3 months today.

Look like yesterday the day my water broke, 4 weeks before time...I was so scared, and everything turned out ok, eventhough she had to stay in the NICU for a week....she was fine at the end, and today she is this beautiful healthy baby.
