This is a classic and super popular Cuban dish called yuca con mojo de aji. It’s boiled yuca with garlic, red onion and fresh lemon squeeze. Super easy to make and great in calcium and Vitamin A. Learn how to make this great dish with Bren!

My friends, I’m finally coming off my high. It’s taken two full days but I’m all good now. I slept all day Tuesday and yesterday after much needed rest. Today has been kind of blah too. Having landed Friday at midnight from St. Maarten, then have 2 days to plan, host and cater a viewing party, I was droopey eyed and relished to get under my featherbed.
I’m up now!
Thanks to those of you that tuned in Monday night to catch the premier of Emeril’s new show! What’d you think?! Inquiring minds want to know! I have my opinion regarding editorial things, like taking out my Flanboyant Eats plug! WTH? :(. Overall I’m pleased. And, hello, I was totally geeked to learn I was part of 6 episode premier line up!

Oh my goodness people. I can’t even wait to the food part of this post. I have to tell you right now. I had the worse flan ever on my last night in St. Maarten! I hate to even put this out there, but I was in such shock. When I saw espresso flan on the dessert menu, I got excited: someone thought my idea was good enough to make and I could boast to the other writers how good it was!
WRONG. VERY WRONG. VERY VERY WRONG.
It was unattractive, had whip cream on top, was very porous and super bland. Flan is an art form. Timing is of the essence and the mixture of flavor is important. I won’t say the restaurant’s name but I was most displeased. I was insulted!
At least the oven-roasted cognac pear was divine.
