2. Aside from tamales there are few street foods that remind me of Mexico City and visiting my family more than churros. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside an coated with generous amounts of sugar and cinnamon. It’s a thing of beauty.

3. Growing up it was always difficult for me to see my mother not being able to partake of our sinfully sweet concoctions because she cannot tolerate sugar in any form. What bothered her more was she couldn’t eat fruit anymore which she loves; that what she envied. When we found out our oldest daughter was gluten intolerant and that gluten is in E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G I was afraid she was going to go through the same. Gladly, we’ve learned how to manage her diet and with so very many gluten free options available she doesn’t have to feel left out. Check out these Gluten Free Cinnamon Spice Cupcakes.
