I am picking just one question from this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge with Joyce and the gang at From This Side of the Pond. It's this one:
3. Do you like gingerbread? Are gingerbread houses part of your holiday tradition?
Life is busy and I'm flying "by the seat of my pants" as I try to post here daily during the month of December. So snagging a question from the Hodgepodge works well for me today.
We do like gingerbread. If you do a search for "gingerbread" here in my Christmas kitchen, you will find many recipes: gingerbread men, blueberry gingerbread muffins, chocolate chip gingerbread muffins, gingerbread coffee syrup, gingerbread chocolate thumbprint cookies, gingerbread coffeecake cookies, gingerbread blackberry muffins, and more. In fact, I am thinking now that I really need to go back and add a gingerbread label to these posts so they can be found more easily.
Gingerbread houses have not been a frequent part of our holiday traditions, but we have made several over the years and enjoyed it very much.
Mr. T is baking as I write and oh -- I have to remind him of those gingerbread chocolate thumbprints. An amazing recipe that has become a must-make!
I've been MIA for a while and have a lot of catching up to do. Your gingerbread recipes all sound wonderful. I love my mother's old fashioned plain old gingerbread with a thin confectioner's sugar glaze on top, warm with whipped topping. I also love gingerbread/molassess cookies...preferably the soft kind, not the hard gingersnaps. I hope you and yours are enjoying some lovely early winter days. I saw that there was snow in the region, so it must be beautiful! Enjoy it for me, please! Merry Christmas season!
