review: *new* Special K -- multigrain

So you remember when I mentioned the name change of Multigrain Oats & Honey to just 'Oats & Honey?' Well, clearly that was to make way for the new Multigrain flavor. And yes, there is a taste difference. It's not as sweet, for one. Think of this new flavor as, well, the multigrain equivalent of Original Special K. Even so, I much prefer this wheat/rice/corn combo to plain Special K any day. I don't know how to explain it other than to say it has more "body" than a rice flake. A nice addition to the Special K family.

(Yes, the reviews just keep on coming. I have three more cereals in the pipeline.)

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.
