apples revisited

I thought I was off my apple kick but I had one more recipe to try: Apple Cinnamon and Wheat Germ Coffee Cake. Oh, yeah, and I'm still trying to use up this wheat germ. I also had a Fuji apple that needed to be used in something, so I added half a Granny Smith to get the correct amount of apples.

As for the coffee cake, there's nothing extra special about it; it's your basic cinnamon-y flavor with a simple streusel topping. If you thoroughly fold in the apples you'll probably get apple in every bite (it's a lot of apples). The cake has a nice texture, not too dense and just moist enough. I'm sure I'll be making this one again.

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.
