What's is on your menu today (Monday) RNYers?

Why cinnamon? I really like it but never heard this.

I noticed that Daisy had cinnamon on her menu this morning and it caught my eye.

Trainer did a video post this weekend about adding cinnamon, she mentioned two things,digestive health and as an anti inflammatory. I just googled, and apparently there are several benefits to adding cinnamon to your daily routine.

Very interesting! Thanks!

If i'm not mistaken, Turmeric ios also good for inflammation and pain.

I've read that as well

Yes I eat a lot of cinnamon. I never thought to put it in my menu. I have very weird tastes and I do sprinkle cinnamon over my cantaloupe. I love cinnamon. And yes exactly like you said Mike it does have anti inflammatory properties and aids in digestion and tastes yunmy!

I often sprinkle it over my coffee's I always drink decaf vanilla hazelnut and the light sprinkle of cinnamon just makes it even yummier.

I also like butternut squash cooked and served with butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon over it.

It is a natural anti inflammatory. I probably should add it to my oats since I have RA and NSAIDS are a no go but I tend to forget. Tumeric is another natural anti inflammatory too.

Thanks - I love cinnamon, so I think I'll use it more!

Good morning all.

Daisy - so sorry about the migraine. I suffer them too and they are a PIA.

QOTD: I don't know why but I thought of zucchini. Tall and lanky (my dream size), great in soups and stews...and when roasted, to die for.

Accountability: great. I had Chinese for the first time post op, I'm 8 months out. I was able to eat barely 3 spoons of chicken when pouch rebelled. I guess no more Chinese in my future. I also got some Girl Scout cookies for DD to send her in a package. In the past I would have gotten a couple of boxes for myself, but noooooo...just got enough for her and a couple of boxes for DS and didn't even take a lick! :-)

B: protein shake

L: chicken meatballs and brussel sprout

S: Yogurt
