Not just a Gingerbread Cookie
Ann Marie Craig • September 2, 2018
My favorite recipe from Our Favorite Recipes - the recipe book I grew up with.
The third Country Living Fair - in 2008 - made its home in Columbus, Ohio, and I don't think I have missed one of those Fairs! Once again I will be speaking at the Ohio Country Living Fair and this time I'm going to be playing around with gingerbread. I also will share the story of the cookbook I grew up with and now own and have gifted my children with. Our Favorite Recipes was compiled and printed by the St. John's Guild in West Bend, Wisconsin in 1949. MY favorite recipe is on page 217: the Gingerbread Men recipe and I am going to play with my own variations of that recipe onstage on Friday September 14 at 11:30 at the Ohio Country Living Fair. Hope you can join me!
