February has been named
National Hot Breakfast Month. The history of celebrating Breakfast in the
month of February was actually created by the Jimmy Dean Foods division of the
Sara Lee Corporation. Jimmy Dean Foods is known for producing heat-and-serve
breakfast dishes (most notably with Jimmy Dean Brand Sausage) and found that
over 60% of Americans eat cold cereal or another non-hot breakfast each day.
This is why they started a month-long holiday to promote interest in hot
breakfast options.
Today we always hear that breakfast is considered the
most important meal of the day, but why? First, breakfast starts your day off
right and gives you needed energy to get your body going for the day. Second in
regards to weight loss, having a complete diet also gives the body balance and
weight control. Not only can it help improve the way your body functions, but
it also helps with improving focus and performance at school and at work.
Jimmy Dean may have created National Hot Breakfast Month,
but Moms have been serving up hot breakfasts for years, long before cold
cereal! A warm bowl of cream of wheat on
a snowy day, or oatmeal served with a dollop of peanut butter and jelly, my
personal favorite! Warm breakfast can be
made easily by making a few extra pancakes on the weekend and heating them in the
toaster with a sausage link or cream cheese and berries nestled in the filling
later in the week as the kiddos are going off to school.
Hot breakfast is a
great start to your day, but think of foods you enjoy that are not
typically considered breakfast foods;
Burritos, pizza rolls, grits loaded with cheese all can be breakfast
foods to satisfy the body and mind, breakfast does not have rules. It is a great way to get your
day started and keep you going.
Grilled Cheddar Cheese on English muffin is one of my favorite Hot Breakfasts ever! The cheese melts into the little holes of the muffin and it is crispy on the outside and yummy on the inside! Sometimes I will add just a touch of salsa, but really I like it better when I can dunk the cheese bites into the salsa!

My favorite hot Breakfast is French Toast and Bacon! :-)
Depending on who you ask...Hubby likes Oatmeal, kids love pancakes, sausage and eggs and I'm a eggs and bacon eater. :) I guess as a family we got all bases covered.
A breakfast isn't complete without yummy bacon!
Sausage Gravy with Biscuits!

I dice up apples, top it with indiana syrup and heat it for two minutes!
Breakfast is my specialty, our kids love my French toast and cheesy eggs, and bacon is a must, but it has to be good bacon not the cheap stuff, but would am I kidding there really isn't such a thing as bad bacon!!!
Cream of Wheat is my comfort food for breakfast.
Sometimes I play around with Eggs Benedict, sometimes use ham or bacon or breakfast steak or even corned beef, but always use poached eggs, English muffin and Hollandaise sauce.
CREAM OF WHEAT
