There has always been that “Something” about Cinnamon. It’s the something that translates to the feeling of “All things warm, fuzzy and sweet in life.” When I was a young girl, I remember coming home from school during those crisp fall afternoons, I’d open the door to my house , walk in the kitchen and see my mama’s beautiful warm smile and there in the air would be the comforting aroma of “Cinnamon”.
Yes mama’s -Cinnamon Sugar Toast bread with dripping butter. That was one of my favorite after school delights.
So today I will celebrate Cinnamon and make Cinnamon Roasted Almonds. They are so super easy to make. Great for treat bags, snacks or making as a jar to give as a gift. They taste just like the cinnamon roasted almonds you get at the fair, and nothing get’s better than that!
- 2 egg whites
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
