Cinnamon

There is almost no aroma I love more than the smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls wafting out of my kitchen on a Saturday morning. I grew up with this tradition and continue it to this day with my family. The comforting warmth and subtle sweetness of cinnamon have made it a favorite of cooks all over the world for centuries, and its broad use in both sweet and savory recipes makes it a favorite of mine. Whether you use it as a supporting player in a savory stew or chili, as part of a homemade chai spice blend or barbecue rub, or you highlight it as the main attraction, like in my favorite cinnamon rolls, cinnamon adds so much to any dish. I can't wait to see all of the unique and creative ways you guys utilize this ingredient in your cooking, and I hope this feed leads you to some cinammon-spiced inspiration of your own. Enjoy!
