Each morning, Mother cooked breakfast of biscuits, eggs, ham or bacon, and grits. On cold days, she fixed us a cup of her <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/hot-chocolate-mix\/\">homemade hot cocoa<\/a> topped with marshmallows to add a little more kick of sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of mornings, whether cold outside or not, we had coffee with cream and sugar. Loaded. And then we were sent off to school, caffeinated to the hilt. That was before decaf coffee. It&#8217;s no wonder I got in trouble for talking too much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wasted nothing at our house, so when a loaf of bread was too dry for sandwiches, she used the dry bread to make <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/french-toast-southern-style\/\">French toast<\/a> or cinnamon toast instead of biscuits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This morning I had a few pieces of sourdough bread and end pieces of whole wheat bread, so I decided it was time for some crunchy cinnamon toast like my mama made. It was some good eating with my healthy protein shake. I really wished for a cup of my mama&#8217;s super-duper caffeinated coffee loaded with cream and sugar. I would be a &#8220;Chatty-Cathy&#8221; all day long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use this quick and simple recipe to bake a batch of this delicious cinnamon toast! It&#8217;s a perfect complement to a breakfast menu but also makes a tasty afternoon snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"hrecipe h-recipe jetpack-recipe\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Recipe\"><h3 class=\"p-name jetpack-recipe-title fn\" itemprop=\"name\">Baked Cinnamon Toast<\/h3><ul class=\"jetpack-recipe-meta\"><li class=\"jetpack-recipe-servings p-yield yield\" itemprop=\"recipeYield\"><strong>Servings: <\/strong>4<\/li><li class=\"jetpack-recipe-time\">\n\t\t\t\t<time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"P0DT0H10M0S\"><strong>Time:<\/strong> <span class=\"time\">10 mins<\/span><\/time>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"jetpack-recipe-difficulty\"><strong>Difficulty: <\/strong>easy<\/li><li class=\"jetpack-recipe-print\"><a href=\"#\">Print<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"jetpack-recipe-content\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0px;margin-top: 1.096rem;, Georgia, Cambria, Calibri;font-size: 18.24px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: start;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;white-space: normal\"><em><br \/>\nIngredients:<\/p>\n<p>Slices of bread<br \/>\n1\/4 cup sugar<br \/>\n2 tsp. ground cinnamon<br \/>\nButter, softened<br \/>\nPreheat oven to 375 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Place slices of bread on a cookie sheet.

I love to write, sew, quilt, craft, cook, paint, and always looking for new ideas to make or share. I love to use my camera to capture life and tell a story through pictures. I have a web and graphic design business that keeps me busy, but I love my work and enjoy interacting with my clients as together we see their vision become a reality. More than anything, my greatest passion is serving God in a way that others see Him through me. I don't always do everything just right, but each day I get up, I turn that day over to God, asking Him to help me try to get it right one more time.","url":"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/author\/sandi\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cinnamontoast2.mamamade1100x400-1.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3026,"url":"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/french-toast-southern-style\/","url_meta":{"origin":9042,"position":0},"title":"French Toast &#8211; Southern Style","author":"Sandi Herron.
