Cincinnati Chili -- There's Cinnamon in it!

When I saw that the secret ingredient was cinnamon, I immediately thought of Cincinnati chili, since I remembered hearing that the secret ingredient was cinnamon. It turns out that it actually has a lot more cocoa in it than cinnamon, and an equal amount of allspice. Anyway, there is cinnamon in it. The chili is veggie crumbles, onion, garlic, tomato sauce, chili powder, cinnamon, allspice, cocoa, and maybe some other stuff I'm forgetting right now. With it, we made coneys (with veggie dogs, of course) and 3-ways. It was good. I (read: Alex) made short order of the leftovers. Here's the recipe we used: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Beef/CincinnatiChili.htm.

It's October!!

We need a new ingredient!

Cinnamon French Toast

I got this reciepe on the internet. It called for two teaspoon cinnimon and one teaspoon vanilla.It tasted good . No need for powered surgar just some syrup.

Flour's Famous Banana Bread.

I had to borrow this picture :) I made Flour's Famous Banana Bread. I got the recipe from a Runner's World issue a long time ago, but I found it on the Internets too: right here. I added more cinnamon than it called for and in hindsight, I really should have added mini-chocolate chips!

Lemon Tofu Cheesecake

Better to post late, than never!
This was actually made Aug. 30, it just took a while to get it posted.
Everyone that tasted this said it was good, although some said not enough lemon, others said it was just right.
Cinnamon is the next spice of the month. I'll try to get that on the blog before the month is over!

Cinnamon Raisin Bread

I found out yesterday was National Cinnamon Raisin Bread day after I had already decided to make some but wasn't able to get this post up last night. This recipe comes from Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. It's very good but could use more cinnamon which is my own fault because I thought it looked like too much so I didn't add part of the recommended amount! My picture isn't very good, not sure if it has to do with the little hand that snuck in to steal a raisin!
