This Mexican casserole made with layers of spicy seasoned veggies, corn tortillas, and plenty of cheese is a great vegetarian and gluten free dinner.
All I want for Christmas is a garage and a massive truck with four wheel drive that has a snow plow attached to the front of it. Ya know, standard girly stuff.
So far this winter, I’ve gotten my car stuck in the snow a total of four times: twice in front of our house, once in front of a friend’s house, and once in a dead end alley in the backyard of a creepy burned out house. True story. That last one happened this past weekend when I was trying to find parking for the Columbus Blogger’s Brunch I had been excitedly and nervously anticipating for months. I may have panicked, rage-kicked the snow around my tire, thrown my body against the back of the car hoping for a budge, and then called the Mr. and cry-babbled the situation.
It wasn’t pretty. I need a truck.
Luckily, the brunch was beautiful, and I got to meet some amazing women who are blogging right here in Columbus. Honestly, who knew there were so many talented women bloggers right in my backyard? Not me. I’ll be sharing some of their work over the next few weeks so keep an eye out.
In other news, I made casserole. It’s cheesy, it’s vegetarian, it’s gluten free, it’s mighty tasty. This Mexican inspired casser-agna is a meal in itself. Layers of spiced veggies, corn tortillas, and cheese make a surprisingly filling and satisfying dinner. Especially when topped with sour cream. It’s kind of mexissary. Yes, I just did that.
I’m sorry. It’s winter’s fault. It all is.

YUMMM. This looks incredible. Stunning photos too!
Thanks Becca! It’s a regular for us now!
Casser-agna. Can we make that word a real life thing?! This looks amazing.
And UGH to snow and driving in it. I’ve only done it a handful of times and that was ENOUGH for me!
I think Miriam-Webster would totally be on board. Snow is terrible, and if you live somewhere where it doesn’t exist, you should never, ever leave. 🙂
Seriously. This winter need to go away and never come back. Comforting, beautiful dishes like these are what gets me through. This looks totally delicious!
Agreeed! I usually like the changing of seasons, but Florida is looking better and better each year! 🙂
This casserole is gorgeous! A slice of this could definitely get me through cold winter weather! Hang in there with all that snow.
Thanks Terris. We sure are trying! Lots of cheesy comfort food helps. 🙂
Ugh, I couldn’t survive in the weather you’re getting over there, Court. Seriously. When it snows about an inch in Vancouver, the entire city shuts down. There are fatal car accidents (no joke), our public transit doesn’t run, and everything’s a crazy mess. I’m glad you made it to the brunch. I always want to meet other Vancouver area bloggers too. I should put something together! As for this meal, ohmahgawd cheesy goodness! I love that it’s vegetarian too. “Mexissary” <– bwahahaha. Awesome.
I do chuckle a little bit at other city’s complete lack of ability to deal with snow. I seriously have 5 foot piles of the stuff on my sidewalk from all that shoveling. My work actually shut down twice this year which NEVER happens. It was mainly because the heater broke, not because of the snow though.
