review: *relaunched* Honey Bunches of Oats -- Cinnamon Bunches

 They're back and bunchier than ever.

This is one of those cereals I kept procrastinating on trying, to the point where they were discontinued before I had the chance (and why? I mean, it's cinnamon). Thankfully it's back so I jumped at the opportunity.

Sniff test: The inside of the bag smelled like a cinnamon roll. It's that deep, earthy cinnamon, not too artificial, not too sugary. Visual: the granola bunches were kind of crumbly. I would've liked something bigger. Taste: slightly disappointing. Don't get me wrong, they're good; I just wanted more. The flavor was somehow not as strong as the scent. Maybe the flakes could've used some cinnamon, too.

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.
