review: Cascadian Farm -- No Added Sugar Mixed Berry Cereal

 I think this came out last year or maybe the year before. Either way, I somehow totally missed this.

 I usually keep pretty good records so I know when to look for new products. I also managed to overlook the granolas in this line. Anyway, on to the cereal, and I'll just say it up front: it's not a whole lot of berry flavor. Now maybe it requires a re-taste, but on first impression: nah.

The sniff test definitely got a whiff of the blue- and strawberries. The taste was exactly what I expected from a cereal like this, which was fine. No sugar added, sweetened with fruit juice? That's exactly it. But you know what else is in the name? Mixed Berry. And there wasn't enough of that flavor for my liking. I topped it with blueberries anyway but I'm just saying...

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.
