experiment #3: Cream of Wheat w/ molasses

This was the final back-of-the-box suggestion I wanted to try (not doing the fresh fruit--can't deal with the conflicting textures) but with a twist. The box only mentions the molasses but I thought, hey, maybe I can add some ginger and it'll taste like gingerbread. Well...not quite. It mostly tasted like molasses, which is not that sweet, so I added some cinnamon along with the ginger. I'm going to try this again until I get the right spice combination.

But just molasses? Not very interesting.

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.
