Log Cabin Family Breakfast Traditions Giveaway
By valmg on Feb 27, 2011 with Comments 237

Did you know February is National Hot Breakfast month and March is National Nutrition month? In honor of the most important meal of the day, Log Cabin conducted a survey looking into how the modern family enjoys breakfast.
Breakfast a la Mom
- Don’t tell Paula Deen, but she came in third… Mom may not have a show on the Food Network, but she runs the show at her own house. Outranking Rachel Ray (22%) and Paula Deen (15%), Mom is the top pick for America’s favorite breakfast chef with 42 percent preferring that she make the first meal of the day at their houses.
You are What You Eat
- More than half of those polled stated they make a conscious effort to choose breakfast options they feel good about for themselves and their families (56 percent), with nearly half (49 percent) stating they are trying to remove high fructose corn syrup from their family’s diet.
Please Pass the Conversation
- Modern families continue to make conversation over their morning meal. Eighty-eight percent of Americans talk to each other over breakfast, outnumbering those who watch TV (63%) or read a newspaper or magazine (51%) or use an iPad/mobile device (35%).
Logging on when chowing down
- It’s no surprise that the younger crowd checks in online in the morning more than their elders. 47 percent of Americans ages 18-34 use an iPad, check email, send texts or talk on the phone during breakfast, twice as many as those ages 55-64 (23 percent).
Keeping Breakfast Warm in the Winter
- On a cold winter’s day, two thirds of Americans enjoy their breakfasts with syrup, whether it’s warm cereal and oatmeal or pancakes and waffles.
- Brrr. Why be cold both inside and out? Only 11 percent prefer a quick bowl of cold cereal or breakfast bar in the winter.
Dress Code
- Dressed to impress: Men are more likely to be dressed and ready to go while eating breakfast (40 percent) than women (27 percent).
- Been practicing for years! Those who are older have their system down pat when it comes to a breakfast routine. Those ages 65 and up were more likely to have a routine for breakfast (73 percent) versus those ages 18-34 (58 percent).

WIN IT!
ONE winner will receive a prize pack including
- All three Log Cabin Syrups (Original, Lite and Sugar-Free, all of which are high fructose corn syrup free) so that your family can do your very own syrup tasting
- Cast iron griddle and spatula to help make everyone a hot breakfast
- Log Cabin Placemats so that everyone will find their “place” at family breakfast time
- Log Cabin Syrup t-shirts so you can show your breakfast pride!

Would LOVE to have one of the Log Cabin Syrup containers from Mom’s childhood. They were tin and in the shape of a Log Cabin!
The only real consistent thing is coffee & juice.

We don’t have any traditions. I usually make breakfast but occasionally my husband will make something – typically eggs and bacon. I like to make pancakes or waffles on the weekends though.

We love a big breakfast. Cooking it is almost as fun as eating. I have a wonderful recipe for homemade pancakes…However, having the time to make a big breakfast is scarce. We love it so much, we often have it for supper!
Thank you for the entry,
I guess our habit is that my kids love pancakes and want them all the time!

It’s our tradition to eat big breakfast on the weekend. It’s the only time we can all sit down together.
We don’t have any habits or traditions except maybe donuts after church sometimes.

We tend to eat a lot of eggs!
Our only breakfast tradition is to make breakfast (usually pancakes) on sunday mornings.
Breakfast every morning. Usually fruit and cereal but on Sundays always special. Omelets, waffles…
Every weekend we sit down to a family breakfest
Our only real breakfast tradition is that we have baked french toast on Christmas morning. With 4 people working different hours, it’s hard for us to all sit down to breakfast together.
