RIDGEWOOD, N.J., Jan. 26, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Experts have said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but unfortunately too many people skip the meal. Not only does breakfast satisfy your hunger, research shows that children who eat breakfast do better in school than those who skip the meal.

To reinforce the importance of eating breakfast, The Smucker's Company -- makers of Smucker's(r) jams, jellies, and preserves -- has teamed up with author Miriam Weinstein to create the Better Beginnings Breakfast Program.

Weinstein is the author of "The Surprising Power of Family Meals," which has received significant national attention since it was released in September 2006.

"Breakfast is an important meal because it also provides families with an opportunity to spend time together, and build stronger relationships," said Weinstein.

Whether eaten at home, on the go, or at work, Smucker's has developed a wide assortment of recipes featuring smoothies, breakfast sandwiches and breakfast bars to help vary the morning routine.

Weinstein discusses the importance of making time to eat breakfast together as a family.
