Fight the Morning Fade with Jimmy Dean Breakfast Food *Review, Giveaway & Video* (Closed)

When it comes to breakfast for my family, I don’t always have the time or energy to cook up a big meal for them, but I know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I can vouch for this because if I don’t have my breakfast, I tend to feel that my ‘wind’ escapes me really fast and I have no energy to do anything, let alone play with my kids. Jimmy Dean is here to help me out, as well as you – my readers.

I asked a few breakfast questions (how to feed my family on a short time schedule was my main question) to lifestyle expert Sissy Biggers, former Food Network show host and TV personality. I was so excited when I saw this video and I hope that you enjoy it as well!

jimmy deanA new survey conducted by Jimmy Dean shows that more than one quarter of Americans fail to eat a satisfying breakfast that keeps them satiated throughout the morning – leaving them feeling groggy, tired and distracted. On busy mornings, too many of us eat on the run, filling up with sugary cereals, carb-loaded breads and other foods that actually leave us tired and hungry before lunch.

I grew up with Jimmy Dean and to tell you a confession; Jimmy Dean is the only breakfast food that I will buy for my family now. I love their sausage and oh-my-gosh, the Breakfast Skillets are amazing and taste like homemade!

We are on the go a lot and one product that I tried and was very surprised of the taste (loved it!) was the Turkey Bacon Bowls. If you are short on time, these are prefect to heat up at home and eat, but if you are on the go, in your car (maybe you are heading to work and need something to go, but don’t want to stop and get something in a drive through) the Jimmy Dean D-Lights turkey sausage bagels are amazing!

    @Lauralee Hensley, oh I forgot to mention how I avoid the slump, well I eat breakfast, but if I feel one once in awhile coming on I just grab a low fat yogurt, the kind that’s about 50 calories.

    I make sure I get to eat a piece of fruit every morning to get me over that morning slump.

    I’ll go for their bacon and sage sausage over the microwave breakfast stuff any day.

    My jimmy Dean Sausage Flan makes a woman proud to feed her clan:
    1 dozen eggs
    8 oz. shredded cheese
    1 roll JIMMY DEAN sausage
    3 Tablespoons oatbran

    Cook Sausage any way you like- I steam it. Beat eggs until frothy, add oatbran. Coat a large glass baking pan with nonstick spray, pour in egg mixture, add sausage, top evenly with shredded cheese: add a little parsleyflakes, pepper for garnish, bake 40-50 min. at 325 degrees. Makes 6 servings.

    I like D Lights Turkey Sausage Egg White & Cheese Sandwich on a honey
    Wheat Muffin.
    I get out of my slump by brushing my teeth.

    I have actually never tried Jimmy Dean, but I avoid the morning slump by washing my face with icy cold water in the morning – it always wakes me up!

    I like to use their roll sausage (on pizza), bacon and fully cooked original sausage patties. Using these items plus fresh fruit helps to avoid the morning slump.
