Meet the Cook: When I was married, 26 years ago, I bought two popular cookbooks to learn the "basics". Now, I have over 2,000 cookbooks, booklets and recipe magazines I read like others read novels! I take my bread - which I've been making for 20 years - to potlucks and parties. Plus, my family's always loved it. My husband and I have two grown daughters and one granddaughter. -Helen Richardson, Shelbyville, Michigan

Although I substituted the buttermilk with a mixture of yogurt and milk and also the canola oil with vegatable oil, this is the best Cinnamon Bread I've made. It's so good there wasn't any left the next day.

I'm A bit of a health nut so I used 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of white. I also used only half the sugar suggested and left the topping off. It was delicious and my kids loved it, so a week later I made it again! Thanks for the idea. Brown sugar might be a good replacement too!

See this bread pictured on my page. Easy quick bread to make early in the morning. The house smelled terrific. I like that since we had overnight company. It was so good I forgot to put the glaze on it. I had to increase the cooking time because the top was still wet after 50 mins. Overall an easy tasty recipe and I usually have the ingredients on hand. Way better than the box mix kind my mother brought over. No one ate hers and she was sour. hee

Loved this bread. So yummy! I am making it tonight to take to a brunch at church tomorrow morning.

Recipe called for a lot of cinnamon(I am a cinnamon lover, however) and sugar which seemed to weigh down the bread. The bread is nice and moist. I am going back to my original recipe which is much the same except I can use either buttermilk or sour cream and just the right amount of cinnamon and sugar. I'm not saying this is a bad recipe so go ahead and try it.

This bread is delicious! Next time, I will be more careful to only pour in 1/2 the batter--I put in too much on the bottom so all of the cinnamon is at the top. I'll probably add some chopped pecans to the cinnamon/sugar mixture too. Overall, delicious!

I have used this recipe and I think it's wonderful! I've baked it for my 4 youngest nephews time and again! This is especially one of their favorite type of bread! Dawn E. Lowenstein

Definitely a 5! I had a piece of this warm from the oven with a big cup of coffee and, boy, did I have a smile on my face for the rest of the day!

I made this bread yesterday, and think it's wonderful. It's definitely a bread that I will make over and over again. I give it 5 stars. It is better today than yesterday, and still fresh.
