When we were little, my mother in England used to create this simple gingerbread house recipe. It was always the year’s biggest success. To create doors, windows, walkways, and a garden, use your creativity and a variety of candy. The completion of this gingerbread mansion takes two to three days. For décor, you can purchase a variety of candies.

Wow! We love this salad and have made it for ourselves and for guests many times. The sweet and savory mixture is great and for us, it’s a bonus that it’s dairy free.
Excellent! I used serranos in place of jalapenos, otherwise a great recipe.
