Every since the last cold spell we had I have been using a lot more cinnamon in my cooking and baking. I love the warming effect that you get from eating cinnamon. I have always thought of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger as winter spices. So, today I whipped up a batch of cinnamon muffins with cream cheese icing to warm up our tea time.

Those look so good, and I can just almost smell them. I love the smell of fresh baked bread of any kind, but cinnamon rolls are just so tantalizing.
ReplyDeleteOh wow....can't beat the smell of cinnamon when it's doing it's job to make any cupcake, bread, cinnamon roll, toast....taste extra delightful...
ReplyDeleteYum

I made 3 different recipes of paleo blueberry muffins last night, then had the family taste test them. It was fun and delicious, and the winner they chose will be what I make from now on!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I made chocolates in heart-shaped, lips, and peanut butter cup molds and mailed them out to family and friends for a surprise taste test and to see how well they held up in the mail. I can't wait to hear back from everyone!
Wow, Jeanin,
DeleteYou have been very busy. Thanks for the chocolates to test. My favorite was the peanut butter cups. If I remember correctly they were made with sunbutter.
Yes, I made them with sunbutter - they didn't last long in this house. I'm glad you like them. I'll be making more as soon as I restock my supplies.
