something simple

I love the Pioneer Woman's website I have yet to make one of her recipes I didn't like and I also have her cookbook. I while back she had a post about cinnamon toast. All my life I have been making cinnamon toast "the wrong way" The other night I decided I would go ahead and try to make it her way. All I can say is WOW, it is SO much better and I don't think I'll ever make it the wrong way again! I think in a hurry you could get away with just making the spread and putting it on toast vs putting it on the bread and baking/broiling it. If you like cinnamon toast I definitely encourage you to try making it "the right way", Enjoy!
