Besides the propaganda that breakfast is the most important meal of the day (thanks Will Kellogg), it is my belief that it is the BEST meal of the day. I say this because breakfast has a stigma of versatility, especially now more than ever. The word that originated as the first meal each day to break a long night of fasting, has a greater meaning in our modern society. Breakfast, while still defined as the first meal of the day, has a colloquial definition characterized by stereotypical foods regardless of the time of day. You can read more about the interesting history of the word breakfast from Word Connections.
There are variations of breakfast including brunch (a substitute first meal eaten instead of breakfast and lunch), breakfast for dinner (brinner?), and breakfast buffets (charcuterie boards as snacks or appetizers).

The food we associate with breakfast now-a-days is often eaten for other meals throughout the day. Many people tell me they skip breakfast, not buying in on this most important meal, but that does not mean they would pass on a chocolate chip pancake or bowl of cereal for some other meal.
This month I will share some of my favorites, and some new ideas to find the perfect time of day and type of breakfast for you. Make breakfast a meal for yourself. Not everyone likes breakfast at 7am. Not everyone likes the typical breakfast menu. My husband is not a fan of eggs, which envelope the traditional American breakfast scene. This month, I hope you will find some inspiration for your breakfast needs.

- Breakfast
