Do Not Buy Cinnamon Sugar!

Sorry if I sounded so bossy, but you can make your

own and save tons of money! And by tons, I mean

way less than you pay for the pre-made stuff, not

"send your kids to college" tons.

Hello, it's just sugar and cinnamon in a ratio

that is perfect for your taste.
Make your own for about 50¢ or buy the
premixed jar for $3.19! No running out
of this good stuff too. 

Mix any amount of sugar in a cup and add

enough cinnamon to your liking. 

About ½ C sugar to about 1 T cinnamon. 

 I like mine cinnamony, 
so I that's the ratio use.

Put it in a shaker-top jar and keep

it handy by the toaster and say yes to

wonderful, buttery, cinnamon toast!

Is there anything better on a 

cool morning? Nope!

 Buy your favorite brand or for maximum saving 

get your spices in the ethnic food isle

 One bag of sugar and a jar of cinnamon would

make a LOT of cinnamon sugar for pennies!

You are paying more for the sugar than the 

cinnamon when you get them premixed.

Take it one step further and make your

own version of Pampered Chef's 

Cinnamon Plus and  Cinnamon Sugar Plus.

Enjoy!

DIY Pampered Chef ~ Cinnamon Plus

I love to mix up my own spice and herb blends.

This Cinnamon Blend is a copycat of the

Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus.

 I had all the ingredients.

Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, ginger, 

and dried orange peel.

 I made my own dried orange peel using

 a microplane grater and drying in a low oven.
I used the toaster oven and it's small tray.

It's so easy and 1 orange gives me enough

(just under 1T) for this recipe. Since it's

not been sitting in a jar it has a true

orange fragrance and taste. 

 Crush with the side of a knife.

 Mix it together and store in a labeled spice jar.

Use in any recipe that calls for cinnamon.

 Don't forget to make your own cinnamon sugar. 

Put some in a cute shaker and keep it by the 

toaster for buttery cinnamon toast.

CINNAMON SUGAR PLUS
