review: Multi-Grain Cheerios

I probably should've been paying more attention when I was eating this but I'll give it a shot anyway.

Okay, Multi-Grain Cheerios. There's five kinds of grains: corn, barley, wheat, oats, and rice. I'm glad they finally put it on the side of the box because I never could figure out that fifth one. Really, when you look at them, maybe it looks like four distinct grains. This is another sweetened cereal that doesn't need any additional sugar although I swear some grains are sweeter than others. Maybe I should suss that out next time.

Ugh, this is only the break in my crazy fortnight (now there's a word I never get to use). I'm shooting for entries on Tuesday and Sunday, but we'll see. My brain hurts just trying to organize my thoughts.

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.
