Bacon and Eggs — the Classic American Breakfast

Bacon and Egg Breakfast Bacon and eggs is the classic American breakfast. Add some potatoes and toast and you’ve got a quintessential morning meal nearly everyone favors.

Bacon has been a staple in our diet since the days of the Pilgrims. But how did it get paired with the ubiquitous egg?

Meet the nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays. He was a man of many accomplishments who understood people and knew how to get them to buy a product or an idea.

Sometime in the 1920s, the Beech-Nut Packing Company, producers of everything from pork products to bubble gum, approached Bernays to help them increase consumer demand for bacon.

After some forethought, Bernays turned to a staff doctor asking if a heavier breakfast – like bacon and eggs – might be more beneficial to people’s health. The doctor concurred with Bernays supposition, and to bolster his opinion, the physician conducted a ‘study’ by writing to 5,000 of his fellow doctors asking them to validate this as well.

This so-called ‘study’ touting a Bacon and Eggs breakfast was then published in major newspapers and magazines to great success, thereby making bacon and eggs a favorite breakfast meal.

You’re invited to stop by the cafe to try our delicious bacon and eggs!

5 Benefits of Eating Breakfast Each Day

The Importance of Eating a Good Breakfast

Remember your mother saying?… “Breakfast if the most important meal of the day.”

Break Parfait Turns out she knew what she was talking about. Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. Here are 5 reasons why you should never skip breakfast…

Essential Nourishment. Eating breakfast helps you start the day off right because it provides your body with essential vitamins and minerals (fuel). Like a car, your body can’t function without fuel. Breakfast doesn’t mean grabbing a cup of coffee and a doughnut. The core of a good breakfast is foods such as whole grains, protein such as peanut butter, lean meat, poultry, fish or eggs, yogurt, parfaits, smoothies and fresh or frozen fruit and veggies.
Increased Energy. Think about this… if you eat dinner around six o’clock at night, and get up around seven o’clock in the morning, you’ve gone 13 hours without food. Skip breakfast and you’re looking at 18 hours without food. Going that long between meals deprives your body of the fuel it needs to function well. Eating breakfast fuels your brain and your body and provides the glucose it needs to function properly and fight fatigue. If you don’t eat breakfast your energy will be noticeably diminished.
Improved Concentration. Eating a good breakfast helps to keep you alert and productive throughout the morning. It improves concentration, creativity, coordination and problem-solving. Breakfast also gives you the energy to be more physically active.
Better Mood. When you’re hungry, you tend to be grumpy and irritable. Your body is running on empty because it needs fuel. This affects your entire system. Who wants to be around you when you’re like that? DO yourself and everyone around you a favor each day…eat breakfast.
Family Time. Breakfast is the perfect time to sit down with your family and enjoy a with people you love. It’s also a great way to establish the habit of eating a well-balanced meal together. When you eat breakfast regularly you are more likely to consume a healthier diet overall which builds the foundation for a healthier life.

Eating breakfast is a nutritious way to start out your day. Breakfast refuels your body, enhances your mood, improves your concentration, helps you maintain a healthy weight, and is the foundation of a healthy diet. Eating a good breakfast can be quick and easy, and provide you with benefits that last the entire day.

Why Do We Celebrate Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a time to pay respect to the service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
Memorial Day originally started as Decoration Day just after the Civil War. It is meant to honor those military members who died. In more than 200 years, more than 1.3 million Americans lost their lives in battle. The holiday is different from Veterans Day – the 11th day of the 11th month – which is meant to honor all of those people who have served.

Not All Fun and Games

Though it’s great to use Memorial Day weekend as a time to get together and have fun with family and friends, you also shouldn’t lose sight of the meaning behind the holiday. Over Memorial Day weekend, in addition to the fun and games at your backyard barbecue, you should also remember the history of the holiday and take part in community events such as parades and memorials. Read books and watch movies about our nation’s servicemen and women. Contact your parks and recreation department and local library to find out about other community events for families during Memorial Day weekend.

Celebrate and Have Fun

Though Memorial Day is a day of remembrance, it’s also a time to enjoy the company of family and friends, and celebrate our nation’s freedom. Deck out your backyard in red, white and blue and invite family, friends, neighbors and co-workers to spend the day celebrating.

We honor those who have given their lives to protect this land… and we salute you this Memorial Day!
