Her Dorkiness

Lover of the Arts and a funny little dorkess. I lack the talent to join the circus, so my fall back was college.

Spiced Orange Gingerbread

Just a little FYI Im not a susie homemaker like person… but I come from a family that likes to get in the habit and cook- then share food with random people. We’re just raised to be friendly and love food. I just tend to love the deserts a little too much… But have no fear- I intend to pump major iron and resemble the lady Hulk- except not so green.

This is an old recipe I found. It’s very easy and yummy during the fall!  My family had it although Im not sure where it’s from so it’s not mine. Just so you knows!
