Cinnamon-lovers are in luck - our theme tonight is CINNAMON! Absolutely one of my favorite spices and if you agree, then this Friday night suggestion is definitely for you!
For a non-alcoholic drink, try our Cinn-ful Apple Cider! Make it extra sinful by adding a splash of vodka!
And for those who liked the salmon last week, we suggest Herb Butter Salmon Tagine with yummy cinnamon flavor!
