review: Cascadian Farm -- honey oat crunch

I couldn't find this online anywhere so I double-checked my box: yep, that's the name. It seems to be the same thing as "Buzz Crunch Honey Almond" because there's still the message about saving the bees on the side panel. I don't recall there being any almonds, though, and there's no mention of them in the review I wrote a while back (I'm still catching up on my blogging, remember?) so I guess it's just the flakes now.

This one's like a cereal mash-up: you have the honey-coated wheat flakes (which are like a wheat version of Frosted Flakes); there's your smaller, drier corn flakes that are like what you'd find in Honey Bunches of Oats; and there's oat clusters, which are, well, see previous statement. I'd forgotten about the oat component until I gave the box a good shake and one huge cluster fell out.

This is actually the first Cascadian Farm cereal I've ever tried--you know I've been eating the granola for a few years, though--and I may be trying a few others.

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.
