Happy National Cereal Day! Today, Wednesday, March 7, 2012 is National Cereal Day. Cereal is the most popular breakfast food in America, but it wasn't always America's most popular way to start the day. Until the 1860's most Americans ate eggs and bacon for breakfast.

A few of my favorites include, (yes, I like the sugary cereals) Lucky Charms, Fruit Loops, Cap N' Crunch and a little healthier, Cheerios, and Frosted Mini Wheats.

Today, approximately 294 million Americans start their day with a bowl of cereal. Wholegrain cereals are an excellent source of fiber, iron, and B vitamins. Celebrate National Cereal Day with a bowlful of your favorite brand!
