Nothing better than soft Gingerbread man cookies with sweet buttercream frosting. Wait- gingerbread piggies! Lets make it fun! 
1 cup butter
1 cup Sugar
2 eggs
1 cup brer rabbit drk Molasses
4 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnimon
2 tsp ginger
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp cream of tarter
Cream butter and sugar well. Add beaten eggs, molasses. Second bowl mix dried ingredients. Mix in flour mixture alternately with sourcream in with sugar mixture. Form a ball. Chill at least 2 hours.
Chilling makes it easier to handle.
Roll out to1/4 inch… dough is sticky so flour rolling pin and floured board.
Cut with cookie cutter of choice. I like piggies. They make my granddaughters laugh at GiGi and my silly ways!
Bake10 min 350 degree oven. Ongreased cookie sheet or parchment paper.
Frost when hot to create a glaze.

I was raised on a large farm in a small community of Long Shop, Virginia. Just a stones throw from Blacksburg, Va and a short drive to the WV boarder. I grew up appreciating Appalachia cooking with low budgets and home grown veggies. What honestly tastes better than a warm tomato out of the garden sliced fat with salt and pepper? Maybe a bowl of good brown pinto beans and cornbread. Or even better grilled trout fresh caught from the creek!
My childhood was a dream... and what has made my passion for food- sharing good meals with good friends and loved ones.
My food always has a story and always in sizes to share.
I now have begun a new adventure with my love Jason, and we created the Bellman and Concierge LLC and reopened the beautiful Oaks Victorian Inn. A childhood home I knew well growing up and now saving for many to enjoy as a Boutique Bed and Breakfast. Cooking for guests and sharing traditions. Come visit us at
