review: *limited edition* Gingerbread Toast Crunch

 I wrote this review back in November and totally forgot about it. Oops! 😁

That doesn't mean I didn't like it, though. I just get busy during the holiday season. Anyway, you know I'll try just about anything Toast Crunch-ed. I'm hoping they figure out chai flavors next.

But let's get to this one. I tasted one dry piece and couldn't get the ginger flavor. I tried again and still wasn't tasting it. It wasn't as sweet as original Cinnamon Toast Crunch but I was still having a hard time sussing out the flavor.

It wasn't until I polished off the leftover milk that my brain and taste buds finally made the connection: 'ohhh...gingerbread.' Don't go into this like I did, thinking ginger or ginger snaps, or even gingerbread men or giant slabs of gingerbread to make a house. No, it's reminiscent of classic gingerbread, which I haven't had in years, but that's it, that's the flavor. And as such, I'd say it was successful.

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.
