best Old Fashioned Gingerbread recipeWhat makes this the Best  Recipe? It’s not fancy or showy… so, why is it so tied with the holidays?

I think my favorite part of the Holiday Season is the way it smells. Presents are nice, the decorations are pretty….shopping is massively stressful… but the smells, so inviting and friendly.

Holidays smell of pine trees, of new books and starched tablecloths, the smell of candle wax and mulled wine… all delicious smells. But the best holiday smells of all?

Freshly baked Gingerbread.

I found a recipe that is super easy to pull together. It looks great, but is a casual family dessert. You can put it in the oven before dinner… and serve it with warm a warm cider after the dishes are done.

Imagine this… your house smells of Ginger and Cloves…. it’s a warm comforting smell… your mouth starts watering in anticipation.

Then you hear it….. BING!

The oven timer goes off, and it’s time to pull the  out of the oven.

Oh wow… it looks perfect… brown from the molasses, domed high from baking, and it smells like Mrs. Claus’s Workshop.

You let it cool for five minutes, flip it out of the pan, and slice yourself a BIG piece. (Because it’s Christmas time, and everyone knows that Christmas calories don’t count). Top that slice with a cool dollop of freshly whipped, lightly sweetened, whipped Cream……

and sink your fork right in.

Happy Holidays.
