Laura Ingalls Wilder Gingerbread

As the temperatures cool down and we head into Fall, I immediately turn to spices and brown colors and anything ginger and pumpkin. 

I have made Gingerbread before but hadn't yet tried the Laura Ingalls Wilder recipe, and I have been asked a couple times if I had the recipe, so I decided that today was the day.

It smells amazing as it is baking!
