Christine has a recipe for banana bread with chocolate and candied ginger.
I've got a brownie recipe which calls for candied ginger and candied orange
peel. My default fruitcake recipe uses quite a bit of candied ginger.

From some of my past posts:

Honeydew with minced candied ginger and vanilla yogurt makes a nice
breakfast or light dessert

Lettuce cups with chopped chicken or pork, orange sections, cashews, minced
candied ginger, and hot chiles is a tasty appetizer or light lunch

Salad greens with sliced pears and a salad dressing made by simmering
candied ginger in apple cider vinegar, then blending with salt and grapeseed
oil
