With the new school year upon us, it's never too early to start thinking about healthy breakfast ideas. A wholesome breakfast is essential for a successful day at school. According to AboutKidsHealth.com, a site that provides families with reliable, current information about all areas influencing childhood health and family quality of life, teachers observe that children who do not eat a fulfilling breakfast are less attentive and experience more learning difficulties than students who do. Log Cabin Syrup, the brand that recently replaced High Fructose Corn Syrup with natural sugar, provides a breakfast option that parents can feel good about!

We are proud to support parents in their effort to provide their children with a more nutritious breakfast before school, says Allison Meyer, Associate Brand Manager of Pinnacle Foods. As an iconic brand that has become a long-standing tradition for many families, we are excited to offer parents a better breakfast option.

Reformulated Log Cabin syrup can be found on store shelves across the country in Original, Lite and Sugar-Free varieties. Try these recipes to jump-start your kids' morning with these nutritious and delicious recipes:

Old Amsterdam part of NYC Harbor Day



On September 13th, Old Amsterdam was part of the first Harbor Day ever in New York City. The Old Amsterdam flat bottom boat joined the parade of Dutch and American ships that circled the Statue of Liberty and sail up the Hudson River. The highlight of Harbor Day was the grand 'Holland on the Hudson' flotilla, with the Half Moon replica as centerpiece. Thousands of people watched the parade from the shores of lower Manhattan.

Old Amsterdam is a proud sponsor of an old Dutch flat bottom from Huizen, a village in the Netherlands were the Westland company was founded. The authentic fisherman’s boat is part of a flotilla of 17 leeboard vessels from Holland that are apart of different NY400 festivities from September 8th until 20th.
