review: *new* Cinnamon Jacks

I questioned the need for Cinnamon Jacks: didn't Apple Jacks already have a cinnamon flavor? And yet, here we are. Visual notes first: the cereal is shaped to resemble actual jacks--smart move. And they're two different colors, not unlike the original, except one is reddish and the other is sort of tan--as if the intention was the colors of cinnamon and Red Hots. The taste? At first, it tasted like Apple Jacks with something missing but the more I chewed, the more the cinnamon flavor came through.

I probably won't buy this again but I'm currently mixing it with Quaker's Whole Hearts, which is a surprisingly good combination.

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.
