CRYSTALLIZED GINGER GINGERBREAD
As a part of my annual Christmas celebration, I always make gingerbread. I've experimented with several versions, and I like this the best. It is a traditional gingerbread that is prepared in a loaf pan--not the dry cookie kind. The key to this recipe is the addition of ginger in both crystallized and ground form...the result is dark, moist, and has LOTS of ginger flavor. Perfect with a cup of coffee or hot cider! It also freezes well for later use.

- Pour the batter into the pan and spread until even and sprinkle with raw sugar.

Tips:
- Use frozen raspberries: Frozen raspberries are more affordable and easier to find than fresh raspberries. They also have a longer shelf life, so you can always have them on hand for a smoothie.
- Add a scoop of protein powder: If you're looking for a more filling and satisfying smoothie, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. This will help to keep you full and energized throughout the morning.
- Use unsweetened almond milk: Unsweetened almond milk is a great way to add creaminess to your smoothie without adding a lot of calories or sugar.
- Add a touch of honey: If you find that your smoothie is too tart, add a touch of honey to sweeten it up.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries and crystallized ginger: Garnish your smoothie with fresh raspberries and crystallized ginger for a pop of color and flavor.
