So I've finally ditched the dairy. (Except for heavy cream and butter. Yes, I realize I'm still eating dairy this way, but believe me, this is a huge reduction because I was previously consuming copious amounts of cheese, yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese, etc.)

I love cinnamon. Used to use a lot of it in yogurt -- as in, do I want some yogurt with my cinnamon? ;-)

So now that my primary cinnamon delivery vehicle is gone, what else can I put cinnamon on? Once in a while, I add some to my coffee, but that ain't enough, folks.

I think there are a ton of smoothie recipes out there that I could load up with cinnamon, but I hardly ever do smoothies. (Maybe I should remedy that?)

One thing I do already is canned pumpkin (plain, not the pie mix, obviously)-- great w/cinnamon.

I'm not really into the "Paleo treats," so I'm looking for suggestions outside the realm of "Paleo snickerdoodles," or "Paleo cinnamon rolls," know what I mean? ;-) Are there any savory dishes that call for a lot of cinnamon? (Sweet potatoes just occurred to me, but I eat relatively low carb. I'll have a sweet potato now and then, but they're not a staple for me.) I would imagine there are some Moroccan or Indian dishes that I could use more cinnamon than is normally called for, hehheh.

THANKS everyone!

HA! Well, I didn't want to admit it up front, but yes, I have been known to just eat cinnamon! Step one: sprinkle on palm. Step two: lick. (Can't do it with too much though -- it burns my tongue!) That's what she said... <---Sorry, I was in the military. Couldn't resist. – Amy B. Jul 18 at 18:54

Be careful about consuming too much Cassia cinnamon! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamon#Species – Austin Jul 18 at 19:16

I sprinkle cinnamon on my coffee grounds before brewing coffee.

Look up Grassfed Girl's cinnamon chips (salt and cinnamon sprinkled on toasted coconut chips--yum!).
