Before you jump to Vickys Giant Gingerbread Men, GF DF EF SF NF recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about The Basics of Being Healthy.
We all realize that, in order to really be healthful, nutritious and balanced meal plans are important as are good amounts of exercise. The unfortunate thing is that, at the end of the day, we don’t always have the time or energy required for a healthy lifestyle. Going to the gym isn’t something people decide to do when they get off from work. We want a yummy, greasy burger, not an equally scrumptious salad (unless we’re vegetarians). The good news is that making healthy choices doesn’t have to be a chore. If you keep at it, you’ll get all of the required foods and activites. Here are some tips to be as healthful as possible.
Go up the stairs. Instead of selecting the elevator, climb the stairs to your floor. Obviously this isn’t as possible if you work on the 25th floor of a high rise, but if you work on the fourth, climbing the stairs is a excellent way to get some exercise in. Even if you do live or work on one of the top floors, you can still get off of the elevator first and climb up the stairs the rest of the way. Most people will choose to be lazy and take an elevator instead of choosing exercise on the stairs. That one flight of stairs—when taken a handful of times a day—can be just the additional boost that your system needs.
There are a whole lot of things that contribute to your getting healthy. Not all of them demand fancy gym memberships or restrained diets. It is the little things you choose day after day that really help you with weight loss and getting healthy. Being smart when you choose your food and routines is where it begins. A good amount of physical activity each day is also necessary. Don’t forget that health isn’t only about just how much you weigh. It’s about making your body as strong as it can be.

The ingredients needed to cook Vickys Giant Gingerbread Men, GF DF EF SF NF:
- Use 80 grams soft brown sugar
- Prepare 100 grams sunflower spread / softened butter
- You need 60 grams golden syrup
- Provide 225 grams plain / gluten free flour blend
- Take 1/4 tsp xanthan gum if using a gluten-free flour blend
- You need 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- Provide 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Take 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg or mixed spice
- Prepare 1/2 tsp baking powder
Instructions to make Vickys Giant Gingerbread Men, GF DF EF SF NF:
- Use my size guide picture below to draw a gingerbread man shape on a piece of parchment paper. Cut it out and set aside……..
- I made a centre line 12.5 inches tall and divided it into 4 sections. The head section is 3.5 inches long and the other 3 are all 3 inches. I made the hands tip to tip 9 inches apart so from the centre line to the end of each hand is 4.5 inches. I used a coffee mug as a guide to draw the hands and feet circles and eyeballed the rest. You could perhaps print my pic and blow it up to trace it
- Cream together the butter and sugar, good exercise for the kids lol
- Mix in the golden syrup (you can use 40g corn syrup plus 20g treacle if you can't get or don't have time to make golden syrup but the flavour will be a lot flatter so you'll need to add extra spice to compensate) - - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/334096-vickys-homemade-golden-syrup-like-tate-lyles-gf-df-ef-sf-nf
- Mix the xanthan gum and baking powder into the flour then add the flour and spices to the creamed mixture
- Form a soft dough. If using a gluten free flour blend you may need extra flour, just add more accordingly. You may also like to add a half tsp vanilla extract
- Knead it smooth then put the dough on top of a sheet of parchment paper and start to pat it out into an oval or rectangular shape
- Place another sheet of parchment paper on top then roll out so it's 1cm thick. It should be a little bit bigger than the 12.5"x 9" gingerbread man template
- Slide the parchment paper and dough onto a baking sheet and chill flat in the fridge for 30 minutes
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to gas 5 / 190C / 375°F
- Slide the dough with parchment still underneath off of the baking sheet and put on top of a cutting board. Take the top layer of parchment paper off. Put the template you cut out over the chilled dough. Cut around it with a sharp knife, removing the excess. Set that aside for later, you can re-roll it and cut smaller cookies from it, just bake for 6 minutes at the same temperature or freeze it for another day
- Move the gingerbread man back to the baking sheet using the parchment underneath to lift it and line the sheet at the same time
- Bake for 15 minutes then let cool completely on the baking sheet
- When cooled, decorate as you like with piped icing, sweets, raisins, chocolate chips etc
- To give as a gift, cut another template out of card to use as a backing board so the cookie can be supported and carried easily and place in a large cellophane bag tied with a festive bow
- This recipe makes 1 giant gingerbread man with enough dough left over for 2 normal sized ones
- You can make a big reindeer or snowman like these in the recipe linked below that I did last year, with a small amendment to the template - leave off the santa hat lol - - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/339451-vickys-gingerbread-snowmen-reindeer-decorating-idea
- …and this recipe link includes directions for the stained glass cookies I mentioned in my review - - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/333250-vickys-gingerbread-men-christmas-halloween-ideas-gf-df-ef-sf
