Mexican Lasagna and Peppermint Patty Brownies
Last week I made two delicious things. Well maybe the brownies were a little overdone, but they were my first ever brownies from scratch and I am still learning.
Thanks to Julie for the delicious Mexican Lasagna recipe! Go ahead and visit her blog to get the recipe, she has step-by-step photos on how to make it! Of course we used the tortillas to make it. Any recipe that requires tortillas is our new official favorite.
That Husband was gone from 5 AM Monday morning to 7 PM Thursday night, so I made brownies to celebrate his return. Not just any brownies, Peppermint Patty Brownies, as invented by Coconut & Lime. I love Coconut & Lime. Beautiful photography combined with delicious food.
Find the recipe here.
The secret is lining the middle of the brownie batter with broken up pieces of Peppermint Patties. She used mini’s but I couldn’t find them, so I just bought whole ones.
I love eating the sections with the almost-burnt oozing filling. They are perfect with a glass of milk and a little bit of whipped cream on top. Please note that I made these brownies with eggs, flour, sugar, and the like. Not from a box thankyouverymuch.
I'm a farm-raised almost-crunchy stroller-pushing picture-taking lifestyle-blog-writing gastronomy-obsessed divine-seeking thrift-store-combing cheese-inhaling pavement-pounding laughter-sprinkling lover of individuality and taking chances.
So glad that you enjoyed the Mexican Lasagna! Also, aren’t brownies from scratch about 1,000x’s better from boxed brownies? It has honestly been about 8 years since I have made brownies from a box, because I just cannot go back. The only downside is that my absolutely delectable go-to brownie mix (seriously, out of this world) has about $20 of ingredients, versus the $5 for boxed brownies, so it’s not exactly cost-effective. But I just cannot go back to brownies from a box, ever!

7Julie-I’ve been wanting to order some gourmet chocolate off of the internet. I watched a cooking show with Sylvia Weinstock where she talked about what a huge difference ingredients make.

8Jenna, I had to come back and tell you I made this lasagne for Baddie and no.6 last night and we all loved it! I’m so glad I made plenty for leftovers. Thanks for sharing the recipe - and thanks to Julie too
