Molasses Brown Bread

 https://www.bakesandblunders.com/molasses-brown-bread-rolls/

Here is the link to the recipe I used for these rolls. I was disappointed in how dense they were. The flavor was good. I loved the molasses and brown sugar... but it needed to be a loaf of bread instead of a roll. Wrong texture. 

 If I made them again I would create a loaf and add more yeast. My kids cut them up and put them in the toaster the next day and it made killer toast. 

Honey Mustard Brussel Sprout Salad

 1.5 lbs shredded Brussel Sprouts (raw and stems cut off)

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup crushed candied pecans

1/2 cup pine nuts

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese

4-5 Slices of cooked Bacon (chopped)

Dressing:

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup of dijon mustard

zest from 1 whole lemon

 juice from 1/2 lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

Dress the salad just before serving for a crunchier salad. 

This is also good the next day or made ahead of time, the dressing will wilt the brussel sprouts and changes the texture (still really good)

You can swap out the fruit, nuts, and cheese with anything you have on hand. Make sure the fruit is a sweet one and your cheese is strong and salty to balance out the bitterness of the Brussel Sprouts.
