Receta Ginger Lemon Loaf
I have been obsessed with ginger, um, as you probably already know. Sorry if you are not a ginger fan. You really should be. Really.
Aromatic, pungent and spicy, ginger adds a special flavor and zest to many dishes. Fresh ginger root is available year round in the produce section of your local market. Ground ginger is readily available in the spice section too.

I still find it amazing how my palate for certain flavors has grown over the years. I still love chocolate, but really I didn’t even think I liked ginger until, well, until I tried it.
I still haven’t ventured out of my comfort zone when it comes to Brussels sprouts though. Brussels Sprouts aren’t even from Belgium, but then Swiss Chard isn’t from Switzerland either. I swear food names can be perplexing at times.
But not this Ginger Lemon Loaf. I am going to try my darndest to save a piece for the hubby. You know how he loves lemon.
Maybe he won’t notice the loaf on the counter when he gets home from work. Um, that is, if there is any left.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
