Gluten Free Fresh Ginger Bread with Quick Vanilla Pear Butter Recipe
Gingerbread is one of those things that in the past I have liked the idea of more than the actuality. I love the way the house smells all cozy and comforting as it bakes. I love the homey, unpretentiousness of it, the simplicity. What I have not been so fond of was the taste. Until now that is.
