Today is Chinese Take Out Day. Yep, it’s that day again when we talk about how we don’t do Chinese Take Out and why. You all know my stand – it’s not that I object to Chinese Talk Out, we just don’t do much in the way of take out period. The only exception, for the most part, is take and bake pizzas.

I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and avid home cook.I believe in eating healthy whenever possible, while still managing to indulge in life's pleasures.
Calling All Male Cooks
Welcome to the first Thursday of November. If you’ve been around for a while (thanks!), then you know that today is National Men Make Dinner Day. There are only five rules. The biggie is that the men must cook – no barbecuing, grilling or ordering take out is allowed.

Today is National Sandwich Day. So take a guess as to how many sandwiches are eaten per day in American? Now remember, we are talking office workers and construction workers and kids in school. That’s a lot of people. Some estimate that 300 million sandwiches are eaten per day. Wow!

The day following All Saints is All Souls. Today is also National Ohio Day and National Deviled Eggs Day. For the past two years I concentrated on Ohio Day. It was fun, informative and oh so delicious. For whatever reason, we’ve simply skipped Deviled Egg Day. Not that we haven’t enjoyed numerous Deviled Egg Recipes, we just haven’t done so on National Deviled Egg Day. Maybe next year.

Come Marching In. Today is All Saints Day. I can’t help it, when I think All Saints then I hear music and suddenly I’m transported to a place I’ve only seen in my dreams – New Orleans. More on that later.

Obviously, today is Halloween. To celebrate or not to celebrate. The verdict for many was up in the air – with the Delta Variance, there was talk of yet another Halloween cancelation. Long before October, family-oriented gathering places in California began to announce the cancelation or strict modification for Halloween festivities.

Candy Corn is one of those Halloween Treats that people either can’t get enough of or avoid at all costs. I think as kids we loved Candy Corn because it was about as obnoxiously sweet as you could get. As adults, our tastes have gone in another direction.

Today in National Oatmeal Day. Now I have a younger sister who would insist today is one of the most important National Foodie Days on the planet. She swears by the benefits of oatmeal, especially for healthy hearts. While I am not disputing this, the only oatmeal I’m interested in comes in the form of warm oatmeal cookies.

Today is National Potato Day. Potatoes can be fried, baked or boiled to create some amazingly delicious dished. But did you know that potatoes are environmentally friendly and easy to grow? Yet we rarely give our starchy friend a second thought.

Today is National Tennessee Day. Tennessee, the Volunteer State. Theirs is a long and proud history of stepping forward to do the right thing. That is with the exception of the Civil War. Like most southern states, Tennessee was on wrong side of the moral compass.

Welcome to National Greasy Food Day. This is our second celebration of what has to be one of the least healthy of National Days. Last year, my first reaction was to made a nice, juicy burger just dripping with fatty flavors.

United Nations Day reflects the official creation of the United Nations on October 24, 1945. Two years after the establishment of the United Nations, the General Assembly declared October 24 as the anniversary of the Charter. In 1971, the General Assembly adopted a further resolution declaring United Nations Day to be an International Holiday.

Welcome to National Boston Cream Pie Day. The very first time I made a Boston Cream Pie for my family was as a part of our President’s Day Feast. Think about it, when celebrating the birth and rebirth of America, what dessert could possibly capture the sentiment than a Boston Cream Pie.

Many, many years ago we were part of a small group of friends that had monthly gatherings. There were four couples. One Sunday a month, we had dinner at someone’s house. One of the wives was very much into preparing dishes that were way, way outside the box. Things like pork kabobs with peanut butter. Not a peanut sauce, but actually brushed with creamy peanut butter. Not my thing.
