review: *new* Cascadian Farm Vanilla Crisp

 New products two entries in a row? That rarely happens these days.

Just from the name I'd hoped this would be a more crispy cereal, like a classic Special K rice flake. But since it was actually a wheat and rice flake, I would say it's more dense and crunchy, rather than crispy. The sniff test triggered a memory of a particular "vanilla" from a bar that I swear Special K used to make. The taste, however, was lacking. There's subtle and then there's subtle. "No Added Sugar" is great and all, but it could've used a little extra Added Flavor.

Oh well, I can always use another mixing flake.

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.
