When I was growing up, breakfast at my grandparents' was raisin bread with peanut butter. Grandmom always had a loaf of Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Swirl bread, which she'd toast and smear with peanut butter that became slightly melty and gooey from the heat of the bread. I'd happily munch along with a cup of tea in "my mug," a clear globe mug she got for free from a National Geographic catalog.

Now that I'm older, and a little more health conscious, I buy the 100% whole wheat cinnamon swirl bread. In researching for this post, I also learned that they make pumpkin and cranberry varieties! I'm so excited to try them!
Do you have any nostalgic breakfast foods?
I LOVE that bread!! I also buy the wheat version now. I smear mine with low-fat cream cheese. SO good. I remember hating breakfast as a kid, so my mom would try to make it interesting. She often made breakfast in the shape of a face: a pancake with grapes for eyes, a bacon smile, a strawberry nose and hasbrowns for hair. She is very patient, my mom.

I stayed with my grandparents a lot as a kid, too, and Grandpa always made me fried Spam with an egg and mustard. Healthy? Certainly not. Delicious? You bet.
