Comfort foods are very inviting, especially during the fall and winter months. Certain foods reminds us of the fall, warm, spicy gingerbread being one of those. I guess that's why my oldest son told me in the car the other day, "Mom.....Can you make some gingerbread?" In a previous blog post, I told you guys that my oldest is the pickiest, most critical food critic that you'll ever meet. If he requests a particular food or dessert, it must be GOOOOOODDDDDD! I always tell him that's he's a tough customer.
My mother used to make gingerbread when I was a little girl. I remember smelling the spicy aroma, infused with molasses, ginger, and cinnamon. This is probably the recipe that reminds me of her the most when it is baking; and when I'm eating a tender, moist, spicy piece. This recipe is a derivative of my mother's, with my own personal twist. I'm not sure where everyone is located geographically, but here in Cincinnati these fall nights are now pretty cool. What better way to relax on a Sunday evening that with a slice of gingerbread. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some caramel sauce and you'll have a wholesome, sinfully delicious dessert!
Don't forget to let me know what you think about this one. This is definately a keeper!
About Me
- Sweetsbyshannon
- Ohio, United States
- I am a Midwestern lady, with a flair for southern style cooking! From about the age of 8, I have had a genuine interest in cooking and baking. Growing up my mother (Rest her soul) cooked and baked on a regular basis. At the age of 8 I began to prepare my own breakfast, and gradually went from there. By the age of 15 my interest in baking really took off. Now I have perfected and tweeked recipes of my mom's into my own. Like my mother, I believe in only scratch baking and cooking. Which means baking with flour, sugar, butter, etc. and not using any box mixes or bucket frostings. I often bake for my church, and family. People would tell me many times that I should sell what I bake. In 2010 is when I became REALLY serious about selling and marketing my homemade baked goods. I have created this blog to expand my audience, and share my talent and love for scratch baking and cooking with others. My goal is to teach you that young women can infact cook, and sratch baking is do-able, and tastes much better than box mixes. I hope you enjoy this blog, and follow me on Twitter.
