Gingerbread is delicious on so many levels. Its color, aroma and texture really makes us feel we’re in the middle of the holiday season.
For years I have served gingerbread for breakfast after Thanksgiving and I love to bake it for Christmas. I even give away loaves as gifts! It’s also perfect for breakfast and goes great with a glass of milk during snacktime. Here’s my foolproof recipe, and I promise you will love it as much as I do. Even kids become gingerbread fans!
