more granola

So I finally tried a granola recipe that wasn't from Sally's Baking Addiction: Spiced Gingerbread Granola. Because it's gingerbread season (or it was two weeks ago). It smelled great while I was mixing it and gingery from the oven but the taste...left a lot to be desired. Is it possible that golden raisins could detract from the molasses and ginger flavor? I really don't have an answer. I'm still eating it, though--although it is kind of stale-ish. I'd say two weeks for peak granola consistency.

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.
