Another recipe I need to get into my cookbook...

Old fashioned gingerbread

I made Gingerbread  the other day we love it ... thanks Brandy

 I have always made it from a boxed mix. I'd really like to try it from scratch. It's one of the kids' favorite holiday baking treats and they love cooking from scratch with me.

 I made a gingerbread house from scratch one time, but I don't know if this is the same type of gingerbread. I've never made plain gingerbread unless that was it.

Was that hard to do? My daughter wants to make one and I am intimidated by the thought.

 You can make an easy one using Graham crackers or buy a kit. Babs

It wasn't really hard. It took a lot of preparation and time, but it was fun to do. It wasn't the prettiest or fanciest of gingerbread houses, either! A picture of it's on my blog.

I doubt my own daughter would care about it being really pretty. I have enough on my plate this year but will consider this a project for next year.

we make ginger bread house every year .. ( my kids eat the decorations ) but we make them 

we are going to the Grove Park inn to see the National Gingerbread contest . this weekend .
