I can probably share some S. Texas border recipes ( AKA Tex-Mex), although not many of them are very good for Lent.
I'll trade you for more baking recipes, 'cause I don't do a whole lot of baking, except for cornbread and biscuits. Oh, and brownies, now. ;D
And I've noticed that Satori hasn't been posting her recipes, like she has in the past...
If you like, Texican, I can post my recipe for what I call "banker brownies." I call them this because they are rich, darkly powerful, and do evil things to your bottom line. They are the best brownies I've ever had, and they are destroying my attempts at lenten food chastity.
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup yogurt or sour cream
3/4 cup cocoa powder or 4 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, whisk the cocoa or melted baking chocolate into the melted butter. Stir in the sugar, then the yogurt or sour cream. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until very creamy. Stir in the flour, salt, and vanilla. Pour into a greased 9 by 13 pan and bake for about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cut immediately.
Now don't let me ever catch you using a brownie mix again!
