Be careful of the type of cinnamon you use.

I went to a cooking demo this morning and the chef mentioned that if you use regular grocery store cinnamon you are using the bad for you cinnamon. I came home and did some research. I remember my aunt saying never use the store cinnamon. I thought she was just picky. I tossed the cinnamon I had and bought the Ceylon. I can't believe the difference in just the smell. Amazing.

I am not about to toss the cinnamon in my cupboard. Of all the possible 'bad for you' products on the shelves of our grocery stores, I am not going to worry about the 1/2 cup of so a cinnamon I use in any one year.
I am not going to ask for a pedigree for the cinnamon sticks I use and reuse to flavour my tea.

I use cinnamon a lot. About five or six McCormick glass jars a year, and with small kids here loving it too I want the type that is better for them. Really until I smelled the difference I would have never thought there was a difference. I made cinnamon toast this afternoon using the Ceylon cinnamon. My grand told me it was the best he ate in all day. Everything is all day to him. That's his time frame for forever. LOL
