I just made this but used pumpkin seeds insteadinstead of almonds, decreased sugar to 1 cup, used 1/2 cup of corn syrup and 1/2 cup of honey, and 1 cup chocolate chips that melted in. Really yummy and going to decrease sugar even more next time. 

Mark’s pizza dough

 For the baptism, we let it rise for all hour, let it rise another hour after rolling out then baked in the pizza oven. https://www.alyonascooking.com/fluffy-yet-crusty-pizza-dough-recipe/

Mark likes to drizzle olive oil And dried spices on after cooking. 

Hash Brown and Egg Casserole

 I made this for Logan’s baptism but I didn’t do Broccoli, upped the salt to 1 1/2  teaspoons. (Next time will do 2 teaspoons). I made with sausage or bacon. Both were good.,

Notes

If you double it, you would need to put it in 2 cookie sheet pans. A double batch in one pan would have a hard time cooking all the way through.
