Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 13x9 pan with foil and spray the foil with cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, cook sugar and butter, stirring, until butter is melted. Remove from heat and cool slightly so your eggs don't cook in the next step.
Stir eggs and vanilla into the sugar mixture.
Add flour, baking powder, and nutmeg; stir to combine. Stir in nuts.
Spread the dough in the prepared pan. Mixture will be thick.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until edges begin to pull away from the pan and tops is lightly browned.
Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars or diamond shapes when cool.
In a small bowl combine powdered sugar, vanilla and 2 tablespoons of eggnog. Add additional eggnog, 1 teaspoon at a time, if necessary to make the glaze a piping consistency. Pipe icing over bars. You can spoon the mixture into a Ziploc bag and snip off the corner to make it easier. Let drizzle set.
½ teaspoon minced garlic (or use dried garlic powder if you don' have fresh)
½ cup chopped pepperoni
16 oz cottage cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasonings
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
25 jumbo shells
1 (26-oz) jar spaghetti sauce
(optional) grated Parmesan for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 and lightly spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. I like to split it into 2 smaller pans and cook one for dinner and freeze the other one.
Cook jumbo pasta shells according to package. Drain and cool.
While pasta is cooking brown the sausage in a pan. Add the garlic for the last minute of cooking. Drain sausage.
In a medium bowl, combine sausage, pepperoni, cottage cheese, Italian seasonings, and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
Stuff pasta shells with cheese mixture and place in prepared baking dish. Top with spaghetti sauce and remaining mozzarella cheese. Freeze here for later if making ahead of time.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle Parmesan on top if desired. Enjoy!
