The last month or two I've been making good use of the crockpot, mainly cooking vegetables and meat. To jazz things up a bit, I added some cinnamon to a meal I made last night. The cinnamon really seemed to mix well with the chicken and yams. I was surprised how much better everything tasted by adding just a bit of spice.
It turns out that cinnamon actually helps lessen the metabolic syndrome. This new study shows cinnamon has beneficial on insulin and other related factors. I will continue using cinnamon and also try to branch out into other spices.
