Cult Icon Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 okay, so I had lamp chops, green vegetables, and sauteed pork: I'm about 90% comfortable with lamb because there's that aftertaste. However, the dish I had was very well prepared, and very tender. The pork was very sweet as well, and I ate this with some brown rice.

Joe > Average Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 There's plenty to go around guys . I bought some lamb chops since I don't usually come across it enough to make my own, but they weren't as tender as that pic above . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Joe, that reminds me: I haven't had a Cinnabun in years! I cheated last week and ate two things that worsened my allergies. I'm not doing it again, but I couldn't resist at the time....: Nutella and a lemon/strawberry shortcake. I can't find a picture that actually looks like it though........

ILUVAdrianaLima Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Cinnamon rolls Extra walnuts on mine please! And a TALL glass of milk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe > Average Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 The milk and shortcake are great too . I think cinnamon is great for the metabolism too if I'm not mistaken. On the healthier side, I make some whole wheat ones too even though they're not as popular . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILUVAdrianaLima Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 ^ I've heard similar claims too Here are a few benefits and side effects from cinnamon. 10 Health Benefits of Cinnamon Health benefits of cinnamon studies have shown that just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol. Several studies suggest that cinnamon may have a regulatory effect on blood sugar, making it especially beneficial for people with Type 2 diabetes. In some studies, cinnamon has shown an amazing ability to stop medication-resistant yeast infections. In a study published by researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Maryland, cinnamon reduced the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells. It has an anti-clotting effect on the blood. In a study at Copenhagen University, patients given half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder combined with one tablespoon of honey every morning before breakfast had significant relief in arthritis pain after one week and could walk without pain within one month. When added to food, it inhibits bacterial growth and food spoilage, making it a natural food preservative. One study found that smelling cinnamon boosts cognitive function and memory. Researchers at Kansas State University found that cinnamon fights the E. coli bacteria in unpasteurized juices. It is a great source of manganese, fiber, iron, and calcium. Side Effects of Cinnamon Note on Identification "Cassia" is an herb which looks and tastes like cinnamon and can be found on some store shelves labeled as cinnamon when actually it does not carry the health benefits of true "Ceylon cinnamon". The first step in using cinnamon safely is knowing what you are getting. Cassia contains higher amounts of coumarin than true cinnamon and coumarin is responsible for some of the side effects listed below. Skin Irritation - The essential oil of cinnamon must never be applied directly to the skin. Small amounts of the diluted oil can be used for refreshment and to fight infection but the oil alone can quickly cause severe burning and irritation to exposed skin. Allergies are rare but sometimes manifest as sores. Stomach Irritation - Those with any prior condition of the digestive system such as an ulcer or irritable bowel syndrome should be careful when eating cinnamon. Large amounts (more than 1/2 a teaspoon) may cause the lining of the stomach to become irritated. Increased Heart Rate - Large amounts of cinnamon have been reported to increase heart rate which could be dangerous for those with a heart condition. Increased heart rate is also linked to cinnamon oil poisoning in children. Uterine Contractions - Some traditional medicine practitioners will give a mother cinnamon in order to induce or normalize contractions. Therefore, pregnant women may want to avoid cinnamon. Blood Thinning - Cinnamon may have anti-clotting properties and may cause over thinning of the blood if you are taking blood thinners. Large doses of cinnamon should also not be used before surgery, during heavy menstruation, or in any situation where a lot of bleeding may occur. Kidney and Liver Problems - There is anecdotal evidence suggesting that people with kidney or liver problems or people who are taking drugs that are processed in the liver may want to avoid taking high doses of cinnamon due to its coumarin content. Coumarin levels are higher in cassia than in true cinnamon, but cinnamon does contain compounds that are known to be toxic to the kidneys at high doses. Blood Sugar - People taking medication to regulate blood sugar should be careful when taking cinnamon, as it also has a powerful effect on blood sugar and the two in combination may lower blood sugar too much. Antibiotics - Cinnamon is a powerful antibiotic, but check with your doctor before taking cinnamon if you are taking prescription antibiotics, because it may change the way prescription antibiotics act on the body.

TheBaronOfFratton Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I like cinnamon because it tastes nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILUVAdrianaLima Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Ha, me too. And here is one of my fav uses with it. Take a nice homemade tortilla, still warm. Gently spread a delicious layer of sweetened butter on top and for the final touch...a good dusting of cinnamon. Now roll and enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
