Fantastic Bake Along – Gingersnaps

Once again I have joined Tracy at It’s a T-Sweets Day! for her Fantastic Bake Along (although I’m a bit late getting my baking done and posted). This month, Rebecca at Twinklehook chose the recipe and she chose one of my favourites. Great job Rebecca!

I do hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Last week I decided to try my hand at a slightly lower calorie apple crisp. I also made it in an individual serving size so that I wouldn’t be tempted to overeat.
