Sliced bread, toasted, buttered, and sprinkled with a mix of cinnamon and sugar.

So much of our enjoyment of foods comes from the memories they evoke, don’t you think?

Cinnamon toast was a treat.

Then I asked her how she made hers.

We buttered our toast, sprinkled on sugar and then the cinnamon.

So naturally, we ended up with a lot of clumps of cinnamon.

I made cinnamon toast for my goddaughter and her sisters a while ago, mixing the cinnamon sugar first.

Cinnamon is expensive, sugar is cheap.

A little cinnamon goes a long way.

So mix a little cinnamon into the sugar and you don’t waste the cinnamon.

So adjust to your liking.

For all you 8-year olds, in age or spirit, have some toast!

Some people like 1:3 cinnamon to sugar, some 1:12, and some in between.

Slather the toast with butter.

Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the buttered toast.

Simple Tip!

The satisfaction that comes from making something yourself, for yourself, is simply priceless.
