Early spring perhaps? Meet Br'er Groundhog...
Are you READY for one of America's quirkiest holidays, Groundhog Day? Groundhog? Do you mean woodchuck, whistle-pig, or land-beaver? No? You say a groundhog
is going to forecast the weather? What kind of folklore is that?
Um-m-m-m-m? Let's look a little deeper into this weather hound.
Foodie wise February 2 is...
What is your idea of 'Heavenly Hash'?
Leftovers thrown together in a casserole? Hash browns, cheese, eggs, & lots of bacon scrambled together? Grandma's classic fluffy white fruit salad swirled with yummy stuff? Candy made with chocolate, walnuts & mini marshmallows? Heavenly hash cakes & brownies? Classic heavenly hash ice cream? It's all of these and so much MORE...
Have Your Cake & Eat Your Veggies!
Carrot Cake has been made since the Middle Ages, when sugar & other sweeteners were rare & very expensive. So, people used sweet vegetables to flavor puddings. This technique became practically obsolete for several hundred years resurfacing in the 20th century. During WWII, the British government rationed many luxury foods and household staples including sugar. To appease the nation's sweet tooth, the Ministry of Food promoted recipes for carrot puddings, carrot-filled pies, & carrot cakes.
There is hardly anything more comforting in the Winter months than a hardy, healthy bowl of piping hot soup! Some areas of the country offer their own specialized soups. Thank A Mailman Day gives you an opportunity to say a polite ‘thank you’ to your postal courier, parcel service, and good old mailman. Take a pot of homemade soup or chili down to your local post office for the postal workers to enjoy!
Chocolate Duo...Dip & Spread!
No one knows who
created Chocolate Fondue Day, where it was first celebrated, or why it is
celebrated every year. It is one of those bizarre yet fun days that has
appeared unannounced on our calendar, inviting us to enjoy a chocolatey
celebration: dipping our favorite fruit, cakes, cookies and marshmallows into a
pot of delectable melted chocolate. Nutella is a creamy chocolatey hazelnut spread that continues to be a
favorite guilty pleasure of chocoholics around the world. It's
different, it's nutty, it's smo-o-o-o-o-th.
Frozen Yogurt Day
Eat it like ice cream
Frozen yogurt can be eaten the very same way that ice cream is eaten. You can add delicious topping like fruit sauce, nuts, chocolate chips, coconut or whipped cream and your will love it just as much as you love ice cream. Yogurt is a bit tart in taste but a lot lower in far. Frozen yogurt is a healthier alternative to ice cream.
