I’m behind on a lot of my blog topics and have a list of things I need to tell you about! I have been cooking and eating tomatoes since they have been ready this season and have lots of great summer tomato options and pictures.
But, first, I will share with you my weekly sweet treat from the dough dolls (and gents) over at Great Harvest Bread Co.
If you’ve ever been in line with me, you’ve may have heard me ask “Do you have my cinnamon stick this week?” If cinnamon is your thing, seek and you will find.
These little carb buddies are my guilty pleasure that you simply can’t tell my husband about! Luscious little eight-inch pieces of bread dipped in a cinnamon sugar concoction, the sticks are seemingly dipped while the bread is warm, then baked some more, because the sweet cocoon is slightly melted. (Great Harvest: We are now accepting trade secrets if you’d like to share your recipe.)
Are you thinking twice about joining me in our club dubbed the decadent duo? I assure you, you won’t be disappointed. Not only do these sticks please your senses, cinnamon has been known to have health properties such as regulating blood sugar (well, maybe not this treat), anti-clotting actions and boosting brain activity. Are you convinced, yet?
Ask for your cinnamon stick at the Great Harvest Bread Co.’s stand at the Oakmont Farmers Market this week!
