I’ve never been a huge fan of ginger bread, but done right, it does warm my insides in the chill of fall. Making it from scratch in a cast iron pan holds a certain charm and intrigue for me. And since my little one loves cinnamon and pumpkin pie, she might just take to ginger bread a little more quickly than I did! This particular recipe includes white pepper, which apparently gives it another little kick. Here’s the recipe at Preparedness Mama:
