Homemade Gift Week: Meyer Lemon-Ginger Loaves & KitchenAid Mixer Giveaway! {Naptime Simple Tips}
Welcome to Naptime Chef homemade gift week! This week we are going to talk all about edible homemade gifts. I, for one, am so excited to give my friends some of my favorite homemade gifts this season. Do you make anything for your friends and family? I’ve heard some people say they are hesitant to give edible homemade gifts because they think it means they have to tackle complicated, intimidating recipes. But I can assure you this is not the case. There are many tasty and easy recipes that are very simple to make and are terrific presents. Those are the ones we will talk about this week!
Today I am sharing a recipe for Meyer Lemon-Ginger Loaves, one of my favorite easy tea breads to give as gifts. I whip up the batter in one bowl during naptime and bake them in individual paper baking pans. Then I just wrap the baking pans in clear plastic bags and tie them with a ribbon. Voila! A homemade gift!
To add to the fun this week my friends at Duda Farm Fresh Foods are providing a great giveaway package that will run all month long! It includes a weekly giveaway of one tote of fresh Meyer Lemons and a $25 Williams-Sonoma gift card. The entries from each week will then be compiled into one big pool at the end of the month and a grand prize winner will receive a brand new KitchenAid mixer (!!!) How cool is that? Here is how you can enter to win the Meyer Lemon gift packages and be entered into the KitchenAid mixer grand prize drawing! Check it out, isn’t it pretty? It is a KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer in Majestic Yellow.
To keep this challenge fun I encourage you to post pictures of your homemade edible gifts or tell us about it on Twitter (tag @TheNaptimeChef) or by tagging The Naptime Chef Facebook fanpage. If you do this, you’ll get extra entries to win the awesome giveaway. I also hope you’ll join my group Pinterest Board Titled “Project #13: Homemade Gifts!” and pin up some of your favorite homemade gift recipes!

Recipe
Meyer Lemon-Ginger Loaves
makes 2 small 9×5 loaves, or several smaller loaves*
Ingredients
| 2 ½ | cups all-purpose flour |
| 1 | cup cake flour |
| 1 | tablespoon baking powder |
| 1 | teaspoon kosher salt |
| ½ | cup candied ginger, finely chopped |
| 2 | tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled |
| 1 ¾ | cups sugar |
| 3 | eggs |
| ¾ | cup whole milk |
| ¾ | cup vegetable oil |
| 1 | tablespoon vanilla extract |
| 3 | Meyer lemons, juiced and zested |
Glaze:
| 2 | cups confectioners’ sugar |
| 1 | Meyer lemon, juiced and zested |
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour two 9×5 loaf pans or smaller baking pans of desired size.
2. Whisk together the flours, sugar, baking powder, salt and ginger and set aside.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together the lemon juice and zest, oil, butter, eggs, milk and vanilla extract.
4. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well until completely smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans until they are half full and bake for about 45 minutes, or less time if the pan is smaller. If the pan is smaller start with 30 minutes bake time and test the loaves every five minutes after that.
5. To make the glaze: Whisk together the lemon juice, zest and sugar until completely smooth, adding drops of water as needed until the glaze reaches desired consistency. The consistency I use it fairly thick, it holds it shape when drizzled on the loaves and spreads like a frosting.
* for loftier loaves use 8×4 loaf pans. The 9×5 loaf pans make lower loaves that are great for tea.

Naptime Reviews
This is always a hit no matter who is eating it. Keep it in your gift repertoire for life!
It might be “plain Jane” of me, but I simply love homemade granola.
I always give fudge and caramel.
Liked on FB as well.
For the past few years, I’ve made a ton of cookies, including sugar cookies, gingerbread men, soft ginger chews, and rugelach. And then put them in pretty packaging and give them out as gifts!
I became a fan on facebook
I would make the panna cotta recipe! I first had some last year at New Years, and got obsessed. It sounds delicious!
We love baking Bodacious Banana Bread. Wrapped in festive ribbon with attached recipe, this tasty loaf makes for a delicious host gift that keeps on giving. Happy holidays and merry baking!
Small loaves of homemade quick breads, and/or maybe some homemade jam to go with it.
This year I’m doing homemade foodie gift boxes for everyone and I think the one item that is classic for gift-giving is definitely cookies. Everyone loves cookies and almost any kind will go over well! I’m making Chocolate Crinkles, Cherry Blossoms, and Peanut Butter Star Cookies!
I really love the good fudge my aunt gives every year!
Every year I give friends and neighbors cookie plates.
WE love making and giving my grandma’s nut roll cookies. They are flaky, nutty, not to sweet, crescents of Christmas goodness. She has been gone many years now but we still make her nut rolls. We remember the past and talk for hours while working the family assembly line to make these cookies.
These 2 recipes from Duda’s website look yummy!
White Chocolate & Culinary Harvest Meyer Lemon Tart
Red Celery Tzaziki Dip
I like making and giving biscotti. But this lemon-ginger loaf sounds like a perfect gift for my sister-in-law, who loves ginger.
I love making and gifting lavender shortbread cookies. I’d love to try Nanny’s Lemon-Glazed Pound Cake!
My favorite food gift is homemade bread. It’s easy to make and everyone loves it.
I would like to try to make the Red Celery Tzaziki Dip.
Love your recipe – but I don’t need any lemons as both trees are full 😉 The ginger is a great touch here.
LOVE my dad’s toffee.
i am a facebook fan.
the holiday turkey recipe looks amazing!
The pairing of lemon and ginger is delightful. Since I am planning to make candied ginger for gifts this week, I just had to stop by and leave a quick comment! Packaged in decorated canning jars this candied ginger is my favorite gift for giving.
To give? Cookies. All different kinds. To receive? My BILs Peppermint Bark and Buckeyes. He makes the best candy!
Already a fan on FB 🙂
I’d also like to try the tzaziki dip or the pound cake recipes – both sound great!

My favorite homemade gift to receive is my mom’s Caramel Corn. It’s amazingly good and she makes it every Christmas and sends me some. 🙂
This meyer lemon and ginger loaf recipe looks amazing! I love lemon. I think the risotto recipe on Duda’s website looks really good, but we make a lot of turkey in my house (even not on holidays) so I we’ll likely try the Savory Holiday Turkey Rub first. Yum!

Make…..
White Chocolate & Culinary Harvest Meyer Lemon Tartfrom the Duda website… is this good?
I’m a fan on Facebook and subscribe to your newsletter… My favorite edible gift to give is vanilla extract. On the Duda Fresh site, I’m eyeing the Chopped Salad with Meyer Lemon Dressing. Sounds tasty. Thanks, Maureen (jnomaxx at hotmail dot com)
My favorite is definitely the baking mixes that I make for people, especially the oatmeal cookie ones. I pack the dry ingredients into a jar, decorate it with fabric, ribbon, and of course, directions, and it’s an adorable little gift. My favorite to receive is definitely the
homemade “just add milk” hot chocolate mixes. =)
I love to bake new recipes and share them with those around me. I have stumbled across a recipe for Sweet Bacon Crackers that is too die for. I have not quite perfected the oven temp and time, but these snacks are addicting, unique, and easy. They are going to make a fabulous gift bag this year!
In checking out all of the super recipes on the Duda website, I would love to try a slight variation of the Grilled Fresh Fruit Pizza. I would alter the choice of fruit to include lemon, blueberries, raspberries and peaches instead of orange, strawberries and banana. Yummm

I’m a simple recipe girl so the meyer lemon spritzer and the risotto sound like my kinda dishes. (I have made lemon pie with the meyer lemons and it turned out really nice.)
My edible gifts have changed over the past few years since my little girl was born. Now we bake and decorate cookies and give each person a cookie cutter and the recipe. Sometimes its ginger bread, or sugar, or a new cookie we found during the year. This year I think it’ll be a new recipe.
Favorite edible gift to give is definitely yemas because there are so few places to get them and our recipe has been in the family for generations, passed down by a great great aunt that lived in a convent as a girl!
Just liked your fb page, love your recipes. I love to receive anything edible, maybe esp cookies
I love quick breads but my favorite would be cookies!

The classic cookie will always be my favorite homemade gift to give. 🙂
I like to bake chocolate chip chunky cookies and share them at work
http://www.dudafresh.com/recipes/?p=433 The orange cake balls is one of the recipes I would like to try. I’m a chocolate fan so this would be something good for a weekend game night. I think I’ll experiment making some with “meyer lemon” and some with orange.
I love giving fudge or truffles (especially because you can make well ahead of time and package them beautifully) Thank you for a chance!

My favorite gifts to receive are food gifts because I work overnights in a warehouse and have no time during the week to cook or bake. My sister in law makes me a cookie basket at Christmas time, and my son in law invites me for the best dinner each year. If I scrape together enough time I make cookies to give, but that is rare since I work 6 days a week and tend to sleep through the 7th.
I checked out the recipes on the Duda site, and gotta tell you I would like to try the panna cotta recipe. In the north we have to hunt for Meyer Lemons, and most people here don’t understand the insanely delicious in your face lemon that comes from Meyer Lemons. I hunt like a madman to find them. But I would love to try this recipe and will (without winning a thing) be using this recipe this year after my hunt and on a Saturday (only day off) night.
Cookies!

I love making and gifting baklava. While it’s a little labor intensive it’s a special thing that people don’t get everyday. I use an old family recipe and those who get it always ask for it again.

With the holiday season over with, it’s time to get back into shape for the new year! The chopped salad made with the meyer lemon looks like the PERFECT start to eating healthy again!
I am always looking for new side dishes and light lunches. The Spinach and Herb Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette looks fantastic!
I love to give away mini cornbreads – sometimes I flavor them with jalapeño and cheddar or lavender and lemon zest. Just plain is fine too! They look so cute in plastic candy wrapping with a ribbon.
My favorite home made edible gift to give or receive would have to be Almond Roca. I can’t believe my tastebuds have never enjoyed this delicious treat before this Christmas – when my amazingly talented chef friend Teresa whipped some up and gifted some to me in an adorable little gift bag.

[…] 2. Meyer Lemon-Ginger Bread with Lemon Glaze: This zesty bread is studded with candied ginger and is a great gift or after dinner treat. […]
[…] Meyer Lemon-Ginger Loaves – For dessert or breakfast. […]
OK, I just made these. WOW. I made the first batch incorrectly with only 1 teaspoon of baking powder. YUK. Heavy and hard. Then I discovered the mistake, fixed it, and made the second batch. I made one loaf and a whole bunch of cupcakes. They turned out great. Thanks so much. I may try it without the ginger, too. In case some folks don’t love ginger. It is very lemony. I am truly in heaven.
