occasional granola review: *new*(-ish) Real Medleys -- dark chocolate cranberry almond

Yes, that title is a mouthful. So much so that I keep forgetting there's almonds in that granola. And--surprisingly--not as many chocolate chunks as I expected. Maybe they're in the bottom of the bag. I've eaten this twice now and I think I've had maybe three chunks total. Not that that's a huge issue for me--you know I'm not the biggest chocolate fan. The dried cranberries weren't as sweet as I expected, which, again, is not an issue. And the almond slices? They're...there. Or forgettable, apparently. Which sounds like I'm building up to a mediocre review but really, the combination of these components with the granola is pretty good. Something I could probably make myself.

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.
