Pondering Breakfast

We are told how breakfast is the most important meal of the day and yet I know so many people who ignore it.  When we were growing up Dad would always make sure we had our breakfast before going off to school.  I continued to enjoy breakfast through collage and thereafter it seems that it has taken a kind of roller coaster ride.  Currently, I have a routine of oatmeal and coffee (prefer iced version) Monday-Friday and then the weekends are left open to create egg dishes or consider going out for breakfast or brunch.  It is always fun to try new places. 

Well, on this day back in 1941, breakfast cereal was changed forever.  It was on this day that the following became a view that many kids and adults alike now see every morning when they sit down to breakfast.

Yes, it was on this day that Cheerios were created for the first time and it is still one of the most popular breakfast cereals on the market.  In recent years they have taken the healthy road and promoted the "heart smart" angle that is still a running theme in many of their commercials.
