Picked this up at Costco the other day. Great flavor and, aside from a lot more sugar than I'd like, really good. Especially delish with wild blueberries in the batter!

Rub Down
I picked up this rub because the grocer was out of herbs de provence and I wanted to make this white bean salad:
Quick and Easy White Bean Salad Recipe
Ingredients
1 14.5-ounce can white beans, drained but not rinsed (I admit, I rinsed)
2 Tbsp chopped red onion
A squeeze of lemon juice
2 teaspoons wine vinegar (red or white)
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dry herbs de provence (crumbled) OR 1 teaspoon of some combination of finely chopped rosemary, tarragon, thyme, and lavender
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Method
1 After you chop up the onion, squeeze a little lemon juice over it and let it sit while prepping the other ingredients. According to my mother, this will take the edge off the onion.
2 Combine all ingredients into a serving dish. You can serve right away if you want, but if you chill for a few hours, the flavors will come together better.
Serves 4. Lasts a couple of days in the refrigerator.

This salad, BTW, is fabulous. It's mind-numbingly easy and healthy. Gotta love the bean!
Anyway, I still had most of the rub remaining - staring at me each time I open my spice cabinet. Last week I went to a lavender-themed dinner and enjoyed a lavender-scented roasted pork. It was fabulous. Wanting to recreate something similar I picked up some pork on a recent outing. I used the rub for the pork as well as some potatoes I roasted in butter and olive oil. Shazaam! It was great. I don't usually buy pre-combined herb mixes but I may be a convert. Even the pan sauce I made with some champagne and butter was great.

Rice Crispy Treats - revisited
I love these things straight up. I've been known to eat a whole pan in a day. Tonight, I only had corn flakes so I gave them a try. Delish! I threw in some Craisins for good measure.
1/4 c. butter
4 c. miniature marshmallows
5 1/2 c. corn flakes cereal
3/4-1 c. cherry Craisins
