Review: Fiber Plus -- Cinnamon Oat Crunch

I think the name is a bit misleading. I can taste the corn in there. I know there's corn in your oats, Kellogg's (nudge, nudge).

I tried this cereal when it first came out back in 2010 (I think). I was a little bit disappointed, but then again, I may have set my expectations too high. It was good but I wasn't wowed by the cinnamon flavor. I wanted more. However, as with most new products, I needed to try it a second time to make a clear judgement. Now I think it's pretty good (obviously, or I wouldn't be eating it again). I would compare it to Cinnamon Burst Cheerios, as opposed to regular Cheerios. It's not the amount of oats I was expecting, but it does have crunch.

*And just to update, I opened the box of Maple French Toast granola I told you about the other day. It could've had a bit more maple sweetness but I do like it. It tastes like a guilt-free Crunch 'N Munch.

    I use to eat this cereal all the time, but no longer like it very much. However, I would say I like the cinnomon flavor more the Cinnomon Burst Cheerios.

    Now that you mention it, it *does* have a stronger cinnamon flavor than the Cheerios. I'll have to make a note of that next time.

fun on a bun...

Technically, the bun is optional but I just have to recommend these Spice-Rubbed Chicken Breasts.  I thought it sounded like a different kind of chicken sandwich for me and I'd never made a rub before. I have plenty of recipes but none which triggered an immediate response of, "I must try this." Also, I'd never purchased cumin before. It smells like the primary ingredient in a packet of taco seasoning, so you can see why it would need to be balanced out with brown sugar. Actually, all of the spices work well together, even the little tang of thyme. I think I'll be trying it on salmon next.

whatever mama wants, mama gets

And mama wanted sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. She didn't say together in one dish but I figured someone must have put those two together. I went with these Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes  even though we had pancakes for breakfast. We won't be having maple syrup again anytime soon. A quick note on this recipe: my oven is super super hot so I roasted at 425 degrees. Even then I almost obliterated those sprouts. Always fix more sprouts than you think you need. As for the pancakes? I'm slowly working my way through the Whole-Grain Buttermilk Pancakes  variations from Eating Well. This time I made blueberry and set aside some berry-less batter for my mom. She went back for seconds and actually ate one with blueberries. And then I set aside some time yesterday for the cake. I should've really cleared my day but it couldn't work out that way. But I'll get to that in my next entry.
