Welcome to March 7th, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate breakfast food for the kid in all of us. Marlo: Hey Anna, whatcha cooking? Anna: Flapjacks Marlo; it’s National Flapjack Day and I thought it would be fun to try out some recipes and toppings I found on the internet! Marlo: Okaaaaay, what’s with this green one?? Anna: Ooo, that’s an avocado and kale flapjack, fun and healthy! Marlo: Ummhmmm…This one looks more my speed. Anna: Oh yeah, this one is bacon and chocolate… Marlo: delicious! Anna: Here’s a lunch or dinner flapjack, it’s a cheeseburger flapjack! Marlo: Interesting, lemme try that! I like it! Anna: On National Flapjack Day, stretch your taste buds and try toppings that take this breakfast dish to all three meals plus dessert! Breakfast cereal appeals to the kid in all of us. If you were ever dragged along to the grocery store, one reward made it all worthwhile, a trip down the cereal aisle. But the brightly colored boxes promising a toy inside did not start out that exciting at all. And while Kellogg’s Corn Flakes were the first cereal to provide a prize inside the box in 1909, they were originally designed to be boring. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg believed that a bland diet would keep us on the straight and narrow and Corn Flakes were his first line of defense. The cereal later took a ride aboard Apollo 11, where they were formed into cubes to be eaten without milk. Few other cereals have such an illustrious history, though some have enough sugar to rocket your kids to the moon and back. On National Cereal Day, celebrate your inner child with a bowl full of crunchy goodness. I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.
