We always associate gingerbread with either Gingerbread houses or Gingerbread men. But how about a cake or cookies or a cobbler or pancakes?
Our friends over at AOL Food have some recipes for gingerbread you might not have thought of doing. Like the Gingerbread Cake with Blueberry Sauce and some Gingerbread Pancakes with Pears and Yogurt. The Apple-Gingerbread Cobbler looks like the perfect thing to eat on a cold winter's night in front of the fire (OK, the television).
There are also recipes for Gingerbread Snowflake Cookies that would look great on your Christmas table or on the tree.

http://theoldfoodie.blogspot.com/2006/12/through-ages-with-gingerbread.html.
There is even a World War I gingerless, molassesless, eggless, butterless, milkless 'gingerbread'recipe.

house. We all fought over who would get the first
gingerbread man or woman fresh out the oven. She favored me because I always helped her with the baking.
