This once wild berry became domesticated during the early 1900s thanks to the observations of Elizabeth Coleman White and the research of Dr. Frederick V. Coville. Before their efforts, wild blueberries were never successfully transplanted and raised in any farming operation for personal or commercial production. The only way to enjoy fresh blueberries was to seek them out where they grew naturally.

These are great for low carb, Keto diets. No guilt and all of the flavor.

Through the efforts of White and Coville, today producers and private gardeners bring to fruition these amazingly delicious berries. Whether from farm to table or from the farmer to the grocer to you, these vibrant berries pack a punch in vitamins and health benefits. They make a great snack all on their own or enhance a meal, make stellar desserts or sauces. Whatever this berry does, it does with panache!

NATIONAL HOT BREAKFAST MONTH

January 31, 2026January 2, 2026Jensperspectiveblog 11 Comments

February is a cold month for most of us, so what better way to start our days than with a steaming hot breakfast? National Hot Breakfast Month is celebrated every February to encourage everyone to set aside some extra time every morning to a make hot, fresh breakfast.

“What nicer thing can you do for somebody than make them breakfast?” -Anthony Bourdain

You know what they say about breakfast… It’s the most important meal of the day! However, in the busyness of everyday life, it’s easy to put breakfast on the back burner and just grab a quick granola bar on your way out the door in the morning. This month, we are challenged to wake up a little earlier and take the time to really enjoy breakfast.

You may be surprised at how much better you feel throughout the day when you allow yourself plenty of time in the morning to fully wake up, make breakfast, maybe listen to your favorite podcast as you get ready for the day. Appreciating the beauty that the morning brings and enjoying a hot breakfast will surely make you feel more full, more energized, and just overall better all day long!

Here are a few ideas for healthy, hot breakfasts you can whip up this month. Hopefully, you can get into a routine and continue making tasty, hot breakfasts throughout the rest of the year! (Remember, you can do a TON of variations of these ideas based on your preference.)

Hot toast with peanut/almond/cashew butter, bananas sliced up, and chia seeds sprinkled over the top
Berry smoothie. Throw your favorite berries, half a banana, some cashew or coconut milk into a blender for a few minutes for a delicious, refreshing side to your hot meal. (Smoothies obviously aren’t a hot breakfast, but they go great on the side.)
Oatmeal with fried egg(s) over the top
Avocado spread over toast with a fried or poached egg on top
Overnight egg bakes for much less work to do in the morning
Egg breakfast muffins (basically mini quiche without the breaded crust for a healthy version)
Sweet potato and black bean stuffed breakfast burrito

Some of our favorites..

They taste great and I can easily stay on my Keto Diet plan.

We’ve been enjoying blueberries in pies since early American settlers arrived. In 1872, the first documented recipe for blueberry pie appeared in the Appledore Cook Book. Blueberries are abundant in Maine, so it’s no surprise that blueberry pie is the state’s official dessert!

Better Breakfast Day – September 26

August 20, 2021August 26, 2023Jensperspectiveblog 4 Comments

Wake up America — let’s make the most of our mornings! Eating a healthy breakfast has never been more important. We’re a nation on the go. Nine-to-five has become seven-to-six — or worse. Hours like that require serious nutritional planning. Skipping breakfast might have worked back in your parents’ day, but rushing out the door with a quick gulp of orange juice just doesn’t cut it in 2020. That’s why Better Breakfast Day is observed on September 26.

So whether its pancakes, eggs, bacon, cereals and toast, start your day with a complete balanced breakfast. Sitting down as a family for breakfast also helps prepare everyone for the day.

A healthy breakfast not only helps maintain weight goals but give you the energy to get through a morning of class or a meeting..

Enjoy your favorites for breakfast
