review: *limited edition* Special K -- Pumpkin Spice Crunch

And now we conclude Pumpkin Week with this new Special K. I don't know which part is supposed to be the crunch--the rice/wheat flakes have a nice crunch, but so do the spice clusters. Ok, I'm re-reading the description. I guess it's the flakes. But it also makes it seem as if all the spices are only in the clusters. It didn't taste that way. The wording is confusing.

Surprisingly, what ties it all together is the brown sugar syrup. None of the spices are overwhelming; there's no weird aftertaste. I could eat this dry. This might be my most favorite pumpkin cereal yet.

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.
