Right up to the moment I sat down to eat this I was unsure how the finished product would be, but it was really good. I ended having to use part dried ground ginger since I didn't have enough fresh, but I imagine it would only be better with fresh. The ginger was not overpowering, as it sometimes can be, instead it was subtle, warm and pleasant. So may great flavors and textures.

I am a born and raised farm girl from Ohio. I grew up cooking with and later for my Mom when she was busy helping my Dad in the fields. We have a large family, and missing meals was not an option. I really enjoy cooking and recipes. Each year the ladies of the family get together for "cookie weekend" and bake Christmas Cookies. This year we baked 3313 cookies! Over the years, friends and aquaintances have come to look forward to their gifts of cookies. I am married to a wonderful guy who is the pickiest eater, and diabetic. Luckily we host almost all family dinners, so new recipes are not totally lost.
