We can all use a little spice this winter to warm us up. Cinnamon adds depth and warmth to sweet and savory dishes alike. Plus it has extensive health benefits such as regulating blood sugar levels and lowering LDL cholesterol. Recent studies have shown that cinnamon boosts cognitive function and memory. (Sprinkle some on your kids cereal before they head out to school!) It’s used in baked goods, spice blends, and sauces. Flavorful and fragrant, cinnamon recipes are comforting to everyone. One of our favorite recipes to make with this spice are cinnamon rolls. Here is a recipe that your kids can try at home…—
Yummy No-Bake Cinnamon Rolls
