1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; set aside. Cream butter and sugar in a second large bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg and molasses and beat until well combined. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until incorporated. Divide dough in half, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough until about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick. Cut out shapes with cookie cutter and arrange cookies on baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Bake 8 to 12 minutes, or until firm and edges are just beginning to brown.

Set aside to cool on the baking sheet for about 1 minute, then transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely. Decorate with icing, if you like

Quinoa Egg Bake with Thyme and Garlic

Serves 6

The quinoa in this recipe gets baked in the oven so it doesn’t need to be precooked. Instead, it settles into the bottom of the pan and creates a moist crust. Quinoa is a super grain—it contains all 8 essential amino acids—making it a complete protein.

1 cup finely shredded Romano or Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch x 8-inch glass or metal baking dish with butter; set aside.

Put quinoa into a fine mesh strainer and rinse until cold running water until water runs clear; drain well.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper and quinoa. Stir in spinach then pour mixture into prepared dish. Cover tightly with foil then jiggle dish gently from side to side so that quinoa settles on the bottom in an even layer. Bake until just set, about 45 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle top evenly with cheese. Return to oven and bake, uncovered, until golden brown and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes more. Set aside to let cool briefly, then slice and serve.
