If its on the menu, I will eat it and pass judgment.

Key lime pie should be a rich yellow, thanks to all the egg yolks in the filling.

Citrus and spice is a classic pairing, although we typically associate it with the holidays.

How Much Cinnamon Should You Add?

Add 18 to 14 teaspoon of the spice to your favorite graham cracker crust.

Or, you could use half regular graham crackers and half cinnamon graham crackers.
