Don’t you love all the warm aromatics that spices add to the season and holiday spirit? This month at the Gluten-Free Menu Swap we’re going to be sharing ideas for adding Seasonal Scents, or Holiday Spices, to our meals.
This week’s theme is Cinnamon. I love the smell and taste of cinnamon. I’ve been drinking Cinnamon Apple Spice Tea
Later this month, I’ll also be baking with cinnamon in:
Apple Pie with Crumb Topping
Banana Coffee Cake (dairy-free, casein-free, lactose-free)
Beignets
Cinnamon Rolls
Snickerdoodles
and even Cinnamon Ornaments to keep the scent lingering in the house!
I’m hoping to add some new cinnamon recipes to my Pinterest account, so let me know what your favorite recipes are for cinnamon.
