When I start writing one sentence paragraphs, that only means I’m busy.
I have a full house full of noise and laughter. I have my brother Ernesto and his wife Marian, my nice Valeria and my nephew Daniel, at home for the holidays and I can be happier.
I feel, however, kind of weird having helpers in my kitchen.
But overall, I just want to show my brother, my sister in law and their little ones, how much I love them and how much I’m enjoying having them for the season. So I baked these deliciously fudgy brownies.
I adapted the recipe from Annie’s Eats. These brownies are minty, super rich and decadent and combine an unbeatable pair: chocolate and peppermint.
I made them with my niece Valeria, who is 7, and likes to bake. She was an amazing and helpful sous chef.
I know I’ll be having a merry, merry Christmas… It’s always like that when my brother is around. After all Christmas is the season for the family.
Merry Christmas!
