Cuban Flan  
recipe from Ana Melton
A very smooth and rich custard

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1 cup sugar
1 can evaporated milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can of whole milk (I use the sweetened condensed milk can to measure this)
6 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt

In heavy skillet, over medium heat, cook sugar, stirring constantly until melted and caramel-colored. Pour into ungreased loaf pan, tilting to coat bottom completely.

Beat remaining ingredients well with mixer. Pour into pan. Place in a large pan with water bath about 1 inch deep. Bake until set, 40-50 minutes depending on pans used. Table knife placed about 1/2 way from the middle should come out clean. Serve warm or cold.

Broccoli Cornbread

1 box frozen broccoli, thawed
1 stick margarine, melted
4 eggs, beaten
1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin mix
6 oz. cottage cheese
1 small onion, chopped  (You may add bacon, ham, cheese, etc.)

Mix ingredients together and bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. (Some use an iron skillet).

For a lower cholesterol dish, use only 2 whole eggs plus an additional 2-3 ounces of cottage cheese. If you decide to use 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites, increase the amount of cottage cheese and add a small amount of milk to compensate for moisture lost.
