Hi all!

I hope you’re all getting in the Christmas spirit. It’s certainly feeling close now that I see a winter wonderland out my window. I don’t know where all of you live but outside of my window I see bright white snow everywhere. Being a nanny I’ve really started to appreciate the snow again. I think I’ve been falling into the cynical adult attitude. Snow just seems like a burden, something that makes me cold and needs to be dusted off of my car. However, being with the kids reminds me how fun snow can be. How pretty and exciting the fresh snow is!

This Gingerbread is perfect to get you in the Christmas spirit. The flavors just scream Christmas! The clove, ginger and cinnamon are so warming and delicious together. I also put candied ginger pieces right in this bread. It’s a nice little surprising bite when you get some. :)

I also made sure to not make it painfully sweet. Yes it’s sweet, but not too sweet to enjoy a whole slice. I actually wanted this to be something I could eat as a snack, not just a treat. It’s delicious warmed up in the microwave or simply eaten at room temp. I’ve been doing both! It’s so soft and fluffy you definitely can just eat it as is. I also think it’s yummy with a little bit of Earth Balance on it.
