review: *new* Apple Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Somehow I knew this would be my next cereal. After the whole Toast Crunch thing, it was stuck in my brain and relayed to my taste buds. Then I read an article somewhere (I can't remember where) ranking all the Toast Cereals and this one was ranked last. So I was disappointed and intrigued at the same time. And now, having tasted it for myself I can say...don't panic.

You know I do a sniff test first. The contents of the bag were extremely apple-cinnamon-y (yeah, I just made that a word) and reminded me of Entenmann's apple strudel. Do they still make that? Anyway, they're the same square puffs of toast as the strawberry and blueberry ones but they have a tie to the original Cinnamon Toast Crunch--it's the cinnamon. If it is possible to isolate the apple and cinnamon flavors for a second or two, you will find that the cinnamon tastes exactly like in Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I thought that was a nice touch. I also didn't experience any kind of let down at all. I would highly recommend this.

It just serves as a reminder that reviews are just that, one person's (or multiple people's) opinion(s). I might nudge you toward a product or warn you that it's not up to snuff but in the end you have to try it for yourself. Like this one. Really. 😋

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.
