review: Cranberry Almond Cereal

So what is this exactly? I assumed it was Giant's version of Great Grains Cranberry Almond Crunch (read my original review here) since they were right next to each other but a glance at the ingredients list shows they're not quite the same. Great Grains has a multigrain blend in the oat clusters and the flakes while this Cranberry Almond Cereal has wheat bran flakes (kind of plain but not throat-scraping dry) and corn flakes (slightly sweeter). Really it's more of a Honey Bunches of Oats with cranberries. And I just sprinkled a little on my Multi Grain Cheerios with sliced banana this morning for sampling purposes so I didn't even get any oat clusters. I might have to come back and add a line to this review. If all the clusters are in the bottom of the box that might take a while.

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.
