A Bowl of Cereal
Did you know:
- Cereal was invented when colonial housewives started serving up popcorn with sugar and cream for breakfast.
- The average American eats 160 bowls of cereal each year.
- The first ready-to-eat breakfast cereal was invented in 1863 by James C. Jackson. It was a form of whole grain flour dough baked into dry leaves, broken into chunks and baked again, and then ground into still smaller chunks.
- Breakfast cereal is the third most popular item sold in grocery stores after carbonated beverages and milk.
These facts are from the American Cereal Council’s website.
I try to eat a bowl of cereal with fruit at least 3 or 4 times a week. I’m not a big fan of pancakes or waffles, but I do love a big Sunday brunch.
This morning I had a breakfast burrito from Sonic, but that is a rare treat. How about you? Leave me a comment and share what you had for breakfast this morning.
