Happy December all! Molly here from What Molly Made sharing another recipe, just in time for the holidays! Another year (almost) in the books, and another recipe to celebrate all the festivities ahead as we close out the year. This recipe is one of my favorites because its one I learned to make from my best friend’s mom when we were little. Though I’ve tweaked the recipe some, the memories of their cozy home and big Christmas tree come flooding back when I smell the shortbread in the oven....
This rich strata combines the flavors and textures of savory maple sausage, fresh sage, sweet apple, eggs, and sharp Parmesan cheese.

Chocolate Crust: We love nothing more than a homemade chocolate crust. However, you can always use a store-bought chocolate crust when necessary. Semi Sweet vs. Milk Chocolate Chips: We prefer the taste of semi-sweet chocolate in this recipe, but if you are a milk chocolate lover, you can substitute those in. Streusel Topping Options: The Little Pie Company, who inspired this recipe, adds in brownie to make this a brownie streusel topping....
Tomato Sauce: Make sure to use plain tomato sauce, and not spaghetti sauce or any other jarred sauce with additives, as that will change the flavor. Fresh vs. Dried Herbs: We love how easy it is to just stick with dried herbs. It’s part of what makes this a truly 2 minute pizza sauce! If you want to use fresh herbs, you certainly can substitute those in! Fresh herbs will spoil more quickly than dried, so you will want to use your pizza sauce within a week or less and only use the freshest herbs you can find....

Even bean haters will love our country-style baked beans!...
Can I add meat to Creamy Spinach Tomato Gnocchi Soup? We think this soup is perfect as is, but you can always add cooked shredded chicken to this soup. We especially love using shredded rotisserie chicken. Spinach: We highly recommend you use baby spinach in this recipe. Baby spinach is harvested at an earlier stage in the growth process so it is smaller, and has thinner stems. This will provide a much more pleasant result in the soup, making the spinach more bite sized....
I’m a huge fan of tarragon. It has an elevated, gourmet flavor that really “wows” people. If you can’t find fresh tarragon in your local grocery store, you can always use the dried variety. It’ll still have the beautiful anise-like flavor. This dish comes together in less than 30 minutes too! Serve it up over some linguine and you have a dinner that will make your soul happy. We’ve been enjoying this dish in our family for years....

Is cod healthy to eat? There are two types of cod that you will find in the store, Atlantic Ocean cod and Pacific Ocean cod. Both are fine in this recipe. But Pacific cod will give you thicker and larger fillets. Both types of cods are great sources of omega 3 fatty acids that are great for the heart. They are also both packed with lean protein and vitamin B-12. Cod is known for being a little higher in sodium, but overall if you eat it in moderation it can be a very healthy option....
This fruit salad originated in the late 1800s when tropical climate fruits like citrus and coconut were considered exotic treats. Because this would have been an expensive luxury dish, they considered it to be the food of the Gods, naming the dish after the Greek God, Ambrosia, the God of food and drink. The original recipes were nothing more than citrus pieces, shredded coconut, and sugar. The dish has evolved over time to include other fruits, a creamy topping, miniature marshmallows, and sometimes nuts....

Cookie dough has a special place in my heart. The very first thing I learned how to make was chocolate chip cookies. I’ve had my fair share of raw cookie dough in my days. Now, I know that there’s some concern about salmonella and such, so if you are worried about that, be sure to check out the notes in my recipe for a way to cook the flour prior to using it in the recipe....
Can I use fresh cranberries in Orange Cranberry Muffins? You absolutely can! We love how pantry-friendly Craisins are, and how difficult it can be to find fresh cranberries. However, if you do have access to cranberries, go ahead and substitute them for the Craisins. Increase amount to 2 cups. Mini Muffin Instructions: If you prefer mini muffins, go ahead and prepare your mini muffin pan by spraying with a non-stick spray and baking in an oven preheated to 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean....
They say that cowboy cookies originated back in the 1800s and were a popular treat for cowboys to enjoy while out on the trail, kind of like an old fashioned power bar. Now, there’s little to no evidence that this is true in any way. After all, the chocolate chip cookie itself wasn’t even invented until 1938. Cowboy cookies are still a delicious treat. This recipe takes a bakery style cookie dough and adds in chocolate chips, oats, chopped pecans, and coconut flakes....
