To the wet ingredients of the molasses cookies add the zest from 3 large oranges.
Melt some white chocolate, about a half bag of white chocolate chips, melting in the microwave in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth. Take the cooled cookies and dip the edges in the chocolate; shake in the air a bit to let excess chocolate drip off. Lay the cookies on waxed paper or parchment until the chocolate is hardened.

Christina's Tortellini Sausage Soup
from Our Best Bites
3 links Italian sausage or 3/4 lb. bulk sausage
4 cloves pressed garlic
1 onion, diced
½ c. water
2 cans chicken broth
½ c. apple cider or apple juice and some extra cinnamon
1 16-oz. can diced tomatoes
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 c. sliced carrots
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 medium zucchini, grated
8-10 oz. package cheese tortellini
2 Tbsp. dried parsley
If you're using link sausage, remove the casings and crumble into a large soup pot. Begin cooking sausage over medium heat, stirring frequently. If your sausage is fatty, you'll want to drain it when it's about halfway cooked. Meanwhile, chop onions and garlic and add to the sausage. Continue cooking until onions are translucent and your sausage is cooked.
Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, juice, water, chicken broth, carrots, oregano, and basil. Cover and simmer for 1/2 hour. Add parsley and zucchini and simmer for another 15 minutes or so. Add the tortellini and cook until tender, and then serve with bread and freshly-grated Parmesan.

Christina's Plum Upside-Down Cake
from Simply Recipes by Elise
Ben does not like fruit desserts, but he requests this over and over! It does need some slightly sweetened whipped cream or heavy cream drizzled on it to cut the tartness a bit.
10 Tbsp butter, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
4 plums, pitted and sliced
5 Tbsp buttermilk OR 4 Tbsp milk plus 2 teaspoons milk and 1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Zest of 1/2 an orange (or one clementine!)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt 6 Tbsp of the butter in a deep dish pie plate in the microwave. Add brown sugar and whisk until smooth. Arrange a layer of plum slices on top.
2 If you are not using buttermilk, combine milk and lemon juice in a small bowl (the mixture will curdle), set aside. In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
3 Use an electric mixer to beat together the remaining 4 Tbsp butter with the granulated sugar and orange zest. Add the eggs and vanilla, mix to combine. Alternately add the dry flour mixture and the buttermilk (or lemon soured milk) mixture to the batter.
4 Pour batter on top of plums. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until cakes are firm to the touch, and a toothpick or skewer inserted in the center does not come out with raw batter on it. (Might be wet from plum juice.)
5 Remove from oven and let cool on a rack until no longer hot to the touch. Run a paring knife around the edges of the pie plate. Invert onto a plate and gently lift off of the plate.
Makes 6-8 individual servings, depending on how you slice it.

Christina's Scalloped Tomatoes
from Smitten Kitchen who adapted, only slightly, from Ina Garten
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups bread from French or Italian bread, whatever you have, in a 1/2-inch dice
2 1/2 pounds good tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup thinly slivered basil leaves, lightly packed (or 3 TBSP dried)
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high. Add the bread cubes and stir so that they are evenly coated with oil. Cook cubes, tossing frequently, until toasty on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. When the bread cubes are toasted, add the tomato mixture and cook them together, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the basil. Pour into a shallow (6 to 8 cup) baking dish and top with Parmesan cheese. Bake 35 to 40 minutes until the top is browned and the tomatoes are bubbly. Serve hot or warm with a big green salad, a bean salad and/or a poached egg.
This also works well as a chunky tomato sauce for pasta dishes.

Christina's Chocolate Meringues
from Erika Sanofsky Loveland
These are a great way to get rid of leftover egg whites!
4 large egg whites
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa (such as Hershey's)
2 (1.4-ounce) chocolate-covered toffee bars (such as Heath), crushed or 2 ounces chocolate chips
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350°.
Beat egg whites in a large bowl with a mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
Combine powdered sugar, cocoa, and candy bars (or chocolate chips or whatever sort of chip you have lying around) in a small bowl, and mix well. Fold half of cocoa mixture into egg whites (egg whites will deflate quickly). Fold in remaining cocoa mixture until smooth. Drop the egg mixture by rounded tablespoonfuls onto baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes (puffs will be soft in center).

Christina's Tropical Strawberry Shortcakes
adapted Our Best Bites and Throwdown with Bobby Flay
1 recipe Basic Baked Scones
4 C sliced fresh strawberries
½ C white sugar
4 T fresh-squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
Coconut Whipped Cream (from Throwdown)
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
1/4 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar or granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¾ C toasted coconut
Mix sliced strawberries, sugar, and lime juice. Stir well and set aside. Stir occasionally over about 15 minutes. You want the sugar to dissolve and form a light syrup.
For the coconut whipped cream combine the heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar and vanilla in a stand mixer and mix until soft peaks form.
Split scones in half (or slice angel food or pound cake) and layer on strawberry-lime mixture. Include some of the syrup. Place top half of scone on top and top with a generous dollop of the coconut whipped cream. Finally sprinkle with toasted coconut.
I also drizzled some sweetened condensed milk on the scones (underneath the whipped cream) and it was an awesome addition.
