Gingerbread Loaf

Cook mainly from reduced calorie healthy recipes/books and authors or adapt recipes to become less calorie, (IE: more veggies, lean protein, then carbs and fats) and also convert to a vegetarian recipe at times. Like lots of flavor from herbs and spices rather then fat and carbs. Heavy on vegetarian and fish, but do eat most anything.
