There's a whole lot of Lovin' In The Oven going on behind these gates. We entertain quite a bit, and brave soul that I am, I always try out new recipes on my guests. That's how the keepers get into the recipe box. A passion for cookbooks . . . Well maybe passion isn't the right word, as the count is somewhere around 2000. Obsession is more like it. But whatever you call it, the result is lots of never ending good recipes.

Grandma B's Cinnamon Toast
So simple, but kids love it. Be sure you get the butter all the way to the edges of the bread.
Sandwich style white bread
Butter or margarine
Cinnamon
Sugar
Toast the bread to light golden brown (no dark edges). Butter generously as soon as it pops up from the toaster. Sprinkle with sugar, and then with cinnamon. Don't use the two pre-mixed. It's just not the same. Using a knife, rub the cinnamon-sugar into the buttered hot toast. This is important, as it all needs to melt together, which is why you must do this as soon as the toast pops up.
Cut into triangle for easy eating. Sprinkle it with love when serving the kids, and watch the stuff memories are made of.
