Farmhouse Breakfast Week 2012

Farmhouse Breakfast Week 2012
Next week is Farmhouse Breakfast Week 2012, an annual campaign run by HGCA to raise awareness of the benefits of eating a healthy breakfast.
I have to admit, I’m usually one of the 1-in-4 people who skip breakfast during the week – even though it’s not called ‘the most important meal of the day’ for nothing:
- Breakfast eaters tend to be slimmer than breakfast skippers.
- Eating breakfast can aid concentration and mental performance at work and at school.
- It provides you with the nutrients and energy needed for an active lifestyle.
- Research shows that breakfast eaters are less depressed and have lower levels of stress than breakfast skippers.
Get involved
Everyone from food producers to retailers and shoppers are encouraged to get involved in the campaign, either running breakfast events or just by making the effort to have a healthy breakfast each morning.
I can’t seem to find any events in Northern Ireland on the get involved page, but that shouldn’t stop you!
We’re trying to do our part by making a huge batch of our Cherry & Oat Breakfast Bars to bring into our breakfast-dodging colleagues in work.
Do you think you could help people “shake up their wake up”?
Breakfast ideas
If the thought of making breakfast has you completely stumped, we’ve a few of our own ideas for your breakfast, and the Breakfast Week website has loads more – just visit their breakfast ideas page to find out how to make:
- Breakfast hash with bacon and poached eggs
- Devilled tomatoes on granary
- Traditional breakfast
- Oatcakes and scrambled eggs
