This mint brownie pie is incredibly easy to make. It begins with a box of dry brownie mix (or your favorite homemade batter), is studded with chocolate mint chips and baked in a pie shell for a simple yet impressive dessert.
The week has been dark and dreary — the kind of weather I enjoy watching while my cat curls up in my lap. Lately the rain has been humid and heavy, the kind that makes everything feel sticky and slows you down. My mood has followed suit with a few emotional ups and downs, so I haven’t been my usual cheerful self.
But enough of that — on to cooking!
Every week a couple of friends and I get together for lunch. This week we decided to keep things easy and meet at someone’s house. “Keep it simple” turned into an opportunity to play in the kitchen.
For our meal I made a creamy slow-cooker tomato soup with basil and this delightful mint brownie pie to go with my friends’ grilled gourmet cheese sandwiches.
I hope you like this mint brownie pie recipe

The tomato soup was flavorful and comforting — though I’ve never been a big tomato soup fan, my friends loved it with their grilled cheese.
I was surprised with beautiful pink roses this week, which brightened my day. I need to buy a real vase — I usually repurpose a decorative container and place the flowers up on the mantel to keep the cats from nibbling them. Still, receiving flowers always feels special and is a lovely pick-me-up.
Flowers are a simple, effective way to lift someone’s spirits — keep that in your back pocket for a rainy day.
