Cinnamon Obsession

If you have known me long enough, you already know that I have a mild obsession with all things cinnamon. If given the choice of gum or after dinner mint, I will always choose cinnamon over a mint or peppermint counterpart. In fact, I even choose the cinnamon toothpaste when they polish my teeth at the dentist. I usually add a little cinnamon to my hot chocolate and french toast or pancake batter.

The upcoming fall/holiday/winter seasons are the perfect time to enjoy cinnamon goodness. These are some of my very favorite cinnamon things:

And I could not forget about the cinnamon baked goods that are absolutely wonderful this time of year (or any time of year, really.):
