I'm not a big fan of dried plums, so I substituted dried apricots instead. It was still really good!

This is a great recipe for using up leftover sausage. I also like to add a cup of chopped walnuts to the bread mixture.

This is a great dish to make ahead of time. I like to assemble it the night before and then bake it in the morning.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I substituted dried cranberries instead. It was still really good!
