Cinnamon

DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2005/07/13, 06:15 PM I have been eating cinnamon a lot lately with different foods that I will not say because I think that people will think of me as a weird person. My question and concerns about cinnamon is if it has any nutritional information? I use lots of it and I was just wondering if this, in the long run, will slow down or halt my health and fitness goals. Thanks in advance for all responses. DX

GuyIncognito Posts: 63 Joined: 2004/01/10	2005/07/15, 05:41 PM Another good recipe using cinnamon is for chicken pilau. It's a really nice easy recipe to throw together when you can't be bothered with a huge amount of effort. Ingredients 1 Chicken Breast 1 small onion, thinly sliced 1 clove of garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon turmeric 1/2 cinnamon stick 1 teapoon of hot chilli powder 1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds low Calorie Spray oil 1 cup of rice (literally a teacup of rice) 1 pint of chicken stock Spray a frying pan with the oil and fry the chicken until the meat is sealed. Add meat to pan with all of the other ingrients and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve. -------------- Homer?
