Hey everyone, it is me again, Dan, welcome to my recipe page. Today, I will show you a way to prepare a special dish, chocoflan. It is one of my favorites. This time, I’m gonna make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.
Chocoflan This dessert is known in Mexico as the "Impossible Flan" because the layering of a cake with a flan in one dessert looks impossible to achieve.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.

Try Using Food to Boost Your Mood
In general, people have been taught to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and need to be avoided. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Other times, comfort foods can be perfectly healthy and good for us to eat. There are some foods that actually can boost your moods when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are wonderful for helping you battle depression. Just make sure that you don’t get rid of the yolk. The yolk is the most essential part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you elevate your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that affect your mood. Try to eat an egg and feel better!
Make a trail mixfrom different seeds and nuts. Your mood can be improved by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that tells the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The higher your levels of serotonin, the better you are going to feel. Nuts, in addition to improving your mood, can be a superb source of protein.
If you would like to overcome depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all rich in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can really help you overcome your depression.
It’s easy to overcome your bad mood when you consume grains. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are great at helping you feel happier. They fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods too. Feeling hungry can be a real downer! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not difficult to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your blood glucose which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is actually excellent for your mood. You were sure green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea has been found to be chock-full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid basically induces brain waves. This will improve your brain’s focus while at the same relaxing the rest of your body. You were already aware that that green tea helps you feel a lot healthier. Now you are aware that green tea can help improve your mood also!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try a couple of of these hints instead.
