the marinade over them before baking, and it worked really well.

Bread Pudding
http://www.io.com/~bmokeefe/harmful/2000_11_19_arch.html
4 eggs
2 c. milk
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1/4 t. salt
2 1/2 c. dry bread cubes (about 3 1/2 slices)
1/3 c. raisins
Beat together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Place
bread cubes in 8-inch (1 1/2 qt.) round baking dish. Sprinkle raisins
over bread. Pour egg mixture over all. Bake in a 325° oven for 40 to
45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool slightly.
Yield: 6 servings
Again, my mother and I have tinkered with the original recipe
slightly; these days, we use dried cherries instead of raisins, and
I'm sure the dried fruit of your preference would work just as well.
Also, when I talked to Mom after I made this, she said that letting
the dish chill overnight (as I did with the casserole) might be a good
idea, to let the bread really soak up the egg mixture.

After eating you might want to use your homemade Cinnamon Toothpaste
for brushing your teeth: Toothpastes and Cleaners
http://homecooking.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://tuchuk%5Ftraining.tripod.com/kitchen/toothpowders.htm
Cinnamon Toothpaste
"This is a spicy toothpaste that helps keep your teeth pearly white
and your breath fresh. Baking soda neutralizes acids from plaque,
helping to prevent gingivitis or gum disease, while the cinnamon gives
the paste a great flavor! Don't forget to brush your gums and tongue,
and rinse well. If the mixture seems a bit dry to you, add some more
water.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
2 teaspoons Water
Yield: 1 ounce
Mix together all the ingredients to form a smooth paste using the back
of a spoon. Use as you would any toothpaste and rinse well."

The Health Benefits of Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Other Favorite Holiday
Spices By Dr. Joseph Mercola with Rachael Droege
Cinnamon
http://www.mercola.com/2003/dec/13/holiday_spices.htm
"The sweet and spicy flavor of cinnamon has been used by many
different cultures for its medicinal properties for hundreds, even
thousands, of years.
One of the most talked about benefits of cinnamon relates to type 2
diabetes. A study published in the journal Diabetes Care found that
half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day significantly reduces blood sugar
levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It also reduces triglyceride,
LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol levels among this group.
Cinnamon?s other benefits include:
Supports digestive function
Constricts and tones tissues
Relieves congestion
Relieves pain and stiffness of muscles and joints
Relieves menstrual discomfort
Blood-thinning compounds that stimulate circulation
Anti-inflammatory compounds that may relieve arthritis
Helps prevent urinary tract infections, tooth decay and gum disease
It?s a powerful anti-microbial agent that can kill E. coli and other bacteria"

and cereal dishes. Stick Cinnamon is used in pickling and for
flavoring hot beverages. Taste and Aroma

Cinnamon has been popular since ancient times. Egyptians imported it
from China in 2000 BC. Romans believed Cinnamon was sacred, and Nero
burned a year's supply of the spice at the funeral for his wife.
Finding Cinnamon was a primary motive of world exploration in the 15th
and 16th centuries."
