History

National Hot Breakfast Month was established to encourage people to get up and start their day with a meal that’s a bit more substantial than a simple bowl of cereal. Breakfast is an important meal of the day, that much is true, but taking the time to get up in the morning, prepare breakfast, and take the time to sit down and eat a freshly cooked meal is a great start to the day as well.

It’s not just about the meal, though there’s something about bacon and eggs for breakfast with a hot toasted English Muffin smeared with butter that just makes the day better, it’s also about taking the time to take care of yourself and spend a little time on something special.

How many of us grew up with the smell of a hot breakfast floating through the house? Mom wouldn’t dream of sending her kids or her husband off to their day without a hearty breakfast to carry them through. Breakfast helps us feel better, to see our way through to lunch without losing focus and without having our stomach grumbling at us that it’s empty. It also helps our brains function, and education research has shown that it helps to ensure that the students absorb the information.

Add in the time spent on yourself while preparing it, and you’re feeling awake and alert after giving yourself a proper amount of time to wake up. National Hot Breakfast Month encourages you to take this extra care of yourself for a month, and we’ll bet you’ll keep doing it the rest of the year!
