Colonial Williamsburg Gingerbread Cookies

It was the summer of 1956; I was a young girl. My family and I were touring Colonial Williamsburg for the first time. I immediately fell in love with the old Virginia town, a place I have returned to many times. I adored the guides’ colonial costumes and hats. I wanted to take a carriage ride and sleep under a canopy bed. I wanted to live there!

Upside- Down Gingerbread for the Holidays

I’m a fan of gingerbread, be it cookies, muffins, gingerbread men, or gingerbread houses.  But, my favorite is gingerbread cake because it is so moist and gooey.  I like to believe the molasses adds some healthful iron benefits, but that’s likely wishful thinking.

Delicious Fun with Gingy at Gaylord Palms

Gaylord Palms Resort is an oasis in the midst of busy Orlando. Stroll along with serpentine paths lined with giant ferns, Cabbage Palms, and verdant greenery and you’re walking in a botanical garden, the Louisiana bayou or an island paradise. Orchids, waterfalls, streams– even a lake with a boat fit inside the hotel atrium. The behemoth structure seems like a biosphere. Why, one could live within the confines for days and never need to go outside.
