How much is too much?

My Little Helper!

I've recently become fascinated, delighted, entranced, prisoner to cinnamon... I can't help it! I love it! I'm a cinnamon junky! It all started when I started having oatmeal for breakfast, EVERY MORNING. I would add a little bit of Cinnamon to my apple Cinnamon oatmeal to make it more tasty. Every morning, I found myself adding more and more and more, like a meth addict! I was becoming immune to the taste, and I had to have my morning fix. Its so bad that I have 3 Jars in my pantry, and 1 jar in the spice rack, and 1 industrial Costco Sized bottle at work! I fear I'll run out, so I keep buying it! and today, I bought another bottle. How could I not! My local Fresh and Easy was having a 1/2 off sale on their spices, so DUH, I had to stock up on my drug of choice!





So now, everything, and I mean EVERY thing I bake, I add, or OVER add, CINNAMON! When it says to add 1 tea spoon, I'll add the tea spoon, plus, a few table spoons!!! When I made cookies a few nights ago, I added 3 tablespoons of Cinnamon to them, to the basic Toll House Recipe (i also substituted 1/4 cup of flour, and added in cocoa powder! delish!)





Today, I had to make cupcakes for my co-workers birthday. She requested chocolate, which happens to be my favorite, and I happened to have a box mix in my pantry, so PERFECT!!! I just hope she likes the CINNAMON I added! lmao! I added about 2 Tablespoons, and I happened to LOVE, no, FREAKIN LOVE, them! My husband loved them too! And the baby said "mmmm nummie!" so, i'm pretty sure the office will adore them as well!!!





I just feel like it adds such a depth of flavor, sweetness, and spiciness all at the same time... PLUS, you could look at all the Health Benefits! Its so good for you! so why not add in extra, and extra... it tastes great! and its good for you! Whats not not love!
