As I was eating gingerbread-pumpkin pancakes the other morning, I began to wonder… Why is gingerbread a seasonal treat? Although I make gingersnap cookies year-round, I never make gingerbread waffles, gingerbread houses, or gingerbread cake any other time of year except around Christmas time. Why? Is there a rule against making plates of gingerbread goodness year-round?
So today I am giving away a copy of my new favorite book: Gingerbread: Timeless Recipes For Cakes, Cookies, Desserts, Ice Cream & Candy. Amazon has it on sale right now for only $13.18. If you have a gingerbread lover on your Christmas list, I highly recommend it.
Would you like to WIN A COPY of the book Gingerbread?
There are 2 ways you can enter to win.
#1 Leave me a comment on this post telling me what you plan to do with the book if you win.
#2 Leave me a comment on the Onehundreddollarsamonth Facebook page telling me your favorite gingerbread item. Cookies? Houses? Bubble Bath? The Gingerbread man himself?
One lucky reader will be selected at random on Friday, December 2nd and mailed a copy of the book Gingerbread By Jennifer Linder McGlinn
Good Luck. I hope you win!

I would bake from it, of course!
Melannie says
I am having a afternoon tea with a bunch of ladies when my Mum comes across from Australia for a visit at Christmas, if I win I will theme it with the book.

I would first and foremost drool over the recipes and photographs. Then I would choose a couple favorites and get baking (with kids at my elbows, no doubt). I particularly like that some of the cover pictures look like they may include chocolate and I love the chocolate-gingerbread combination. LOVE it. What a great giveaway idea!
Lanie says
I would use it! LOL Thanks for the contest!
Robin says
You had me at Sticky Toffee Gingerbread Pudding! How good does Maple Ginger Moon Pies sounds? Oh swoon….Robin in SoCal

I’ve never made anything but Ginger bread houses. What fun would it be for my munchkins to try out some fun Holiday Ginger recipes. We would get creating with it.
Heather S. says
I’ve never made gingerbread anything, so a gingerbread cookbook would broaden my horizons 🙂 I’d love to try making some bread or cookies, and who knows what else. Thanks!
Cathy says
I would probably just drool on the book pages. 🙂
Qathy says
I’d do all of the above (well, with the exception of the afternoon tea..and, uh…the kids at my elbow)!
Huey says
Make some yummy Christmas goodies. I have a friend’s gingerbread cookie recipe…best ever ones. They are soft and so good. Love ’em!
Tina says
I am going to use this book with my daughter who is learning to cook 🙂
Jules says
I love ginger cookies, and gingerbread with whipped cream; but I am sure there is more out there to make! So I would expand my horizons with this book.
Or else give it as a gift and save me some money.
Jenn says
My daughters (4 & 8) and I LOVE gingerbread, so I think we’d snuggle up on the couch to thumb through it and decide what to make together!
Peggy says
I would make up a batch of the gingerbread crinkle cookies on the cover! In fact I may just have to tweak my chocolate crinkle cookies recipe as soon as I get the groceries put away…
mh says
My kids love gingerbread so we would probably have to try everything.
Lauren H. says
That would definitely go into my cookbook collection. I love gingerbread anything!
Jan @ Family Bites says
I would make everything if possible!
Lynn says
I would find a recipe to make my husband who loves gingerbread and just bought me a greenhouse for Christmas! He would appreciate you very much if you would choose me!
Karen says
eat it? and i’m totally bummed I didn’t get to come to JJ’s party. sounds like they had a lovely time meeting you!
rainbowmummy says
If I win I’d like the book sent to the person who commented directly above me. I just wanted to play 🙂
Melissa says
I have a 3 year old and a 13 year old and we all love gingerbread. We would bake as a family from the book. One of our hobbies is baking from a cookbook cover to cover:)
Amanda B. says
If I got the book I would probably try a couple things from it and then give it for Christmas to my sweet sister-in-love who loves to bake!
I also commented on your Facebook page.
Shirley says
Since there’s whipping cream loitering in my fridge, I promise to do a gingerbread recipe in my stovetop pot.
Dawn says
I would search for a gingerbread recipe that my husband will eat. He hates gingerbread cookies, but it sounds like there is so much more to bake.
