review: Oat Cluster Cheerios Crunch

Well, at least there's no surprise clusters in this one--it's right in the title. I eat almost all of the Cheerios, except Frosted (not that great), Apple Cinnamon (never did like the flavor), and (say it with me) Chocolate. I'm not sure why the Oat Cluster Crunch exists; it's basically just Multi-Grain with one extra ingredient. Not that I'm complaining; I had this with a banana today and it was pretty good. Maybe a little bit sweeter than Multi-Grain but not sickeningly sweet.

One more review for the month, and then I can finally write about something else for a change. Have I mentioned that I like variety? Yes, even in a cereal blog.

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.
