Spicy gingerbread with a sweet mocha glaze, a fabulous dessert, great gift idea or just to enjoy with some coffee, tea or hot chocolate.

There is nothing worse than when a natural disaster strikes. With or without warning, there is no limit to the damage that can be done or the path it will take. Thus was the case with Hurricane Sandy. I’m in the midwest, so I only have experience with Tornado’s which are equally a devastating and I’m only a few hours away from Joplin which is an area most are familiar with when the entire town was essentially destroyed in a tornado.

This week’s #SundaySupper theme is designed to raise awareness and #helpinghands and giving back to those that were affected by the devastation that Sandy left in her path. Many celebrated Thanksgiving without loved ones, or very far away from home, because home is beyond repair.

It’s at this time that family, friendship and comfort are needed most. My recipe today is one of my favorite winter comfort foods – gingerbread. I am a gingerbread addict and could eat it nearly everyday. I love to give it as gifts, to my friends when they are sick and to take to nursing homes at holiday time.

They are spicier than traditional gingerbread and covered in a simple, transparent coffee glaze.
