review: instant Cream of Wheat -- apples & cinnamon

Yes, this is another one of the variety pack flavors they don't make anymore, which is a shame because their dried-and-reconstituted fruit is so much better than Quaker's. In fact, I don't even like Apple and Cinnamon oatmeal because of those mealy little bits of things. It's definitely one of those texture deals.

So the apple chunks are better but what about the cinnamon? Yeah, that has more flavor, too. I'm thinking this may be the winter to confirm what I already know about Quaker's instant oatmeal flavors. It's been a while. Back in school my brother and I would split the variety box: he'd get Apples and Cinnamon and Cinnamon Spice; I'd get Maple and Brown Sugar and Raisins and Spice.

...I got just slightly off topic, didn't I?

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.
