review: Great Grains -- Cranberry Almond Crunch

I've overlooked Great Grains for years; it always struck me as a boring, healthy cereal my dad would eat. A few weeks ago I just happened to notice the Cranberry Almond Crunch flavor--well, I thought to myself, I can tolerate almonds and there aren't too many cereals these days with cranberries, so I could stand to try it. And while my original assumption isn't too far off, it isn't terrible. Really, the only issue I have is a lack of sweetness. It'll take a second bowl to really wrap my taste buds around it but it's good enough to serve my purpose, which is to mix with other cereals.

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.
