Impress Friends With Chocolate-Dipped Cinnamon Churros
Several weeks ago, I was invited to a cooking class at Parties That Cook, a company that hosts culinary tutorials and team-building culinary events. After a quick lesson, where chef Bibby Gillignat taught us basic cooking skills, we broke into groups, each one assigned to a different portion of the meal.
My sweetheart and I were assigned to the dessert portion of the meal, where we made another warm, chocolatey dessert: churros, fried Mexican doughnuts, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and dipped in spicy chocolate sauce.

Bring Out Your Spicy Side With Cinnamon-Inspired Ingredients
I love these Autumn-inspired ingredients that will have you feeling all toasty inside. I've already got you covered on apple, cranberry, and pumpkin, so let's move on to a crowd favorite, cinnamon.

Reader Recipe: Monkey Bread
I swooned when I came across Phasekitty's pictures of her mother's monkey bread. Eating this treat reminds me of hanging out with friends and family. There's nothing better than catching up on good conversation while picking apart pieces of the gooey bread.
