Personally, if I were in charge National Lobster Thermidor Day would be February 14th. I mean, what is more romantic than lobster? Especially Lobster Thermidor.

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.
Oh What a Sweet Day!
Did you know that the first pies appeared around 9500 BC? Yeah, we are talking a long, long time ago in Egypt. As a source of comic relief, we’ve been hitting people with cream pies since Ben Turpin received one in the film Mr. Flip in 1909.

What an awesome day! On the National Food Front, today is a celebration of Southern Cooking and (yum) Blonde Brownies. It’s also Friday. We all know that in our house, Fridays are Old School from a Catholic perspective. It’s a meatless day.

Here we are, on the down side of January. Yesterday was a big day in America. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I am a conservative Republican. It was hard and a little scary to see the country go so blue. Maybe I drank the Republican cool aid but the thought of American becoming a Solicits Country scares me. Yet as a woman of faith, I must trust in God and in His wisdom.

Hands down, today is one of my favorite Food Days. It’s National Cheese Lover’s Day – hooray! While we have no firm evidence of how cheese making was first discovered, legend tells us that it was likely by chance. The first Cheesemaker did not set out to make cheese, but rather discovered it naturally.

Let me start by saying Happy Birthday Dad! I find it funny that my Dad shares his birthday with National Popcorn Day. My Dad loves his popcorn. Every year for Christmas I get him a big tin of popcorn – it’s my traditional gift to him. Even this year, with our White Elephant Gift Exchange, I still gave Pops his favorite snack.

Hello Monday! It’s the 3rd Monday in January, and here in America we honor a great man, Martin Luther King Jr. It’s also the 18th of January – National Michigan Day. There had to be a way to bring these two National Days together. And lucky for me, there is.
Continue reading “Michigan’s Walk to Freedom”Bootleggers, Speakeasies and Butterscotch Hot Buttered Rum
It’s only fitting that today is National Bootlegger Day and Hot Buttered Rum Day. After all, it’s the birthday of Templeton Rye Whiskey and Al Capone. Probation gave rise to the Mafia, Rum-Runners and Moonshiners.

If this recipe seems oddly familiar to you, you aren’t wrong. With the exception of two tiny, seemingly inconsequential changes, it’s my recipe for French Onion Beef Stroganoff.

While most people complain about winter, personally I love it. I love the colors of fall, and the hearty dishes of winter. Wrapping my hands around a big, hot bowl of vegetable stew gives a certain comfort.

When Americans think of Jewish Foods, most think a mile-high pastrami sandwich on rye or bagels and cream cheese with lox. Many insist that these dishes are uniquely Jewish American Creations. And that might be true as we know them today, but Pastrami itself isn’t American.

Have you ever had one of those “Gee, I coulda had a V-8” the lightbulb coming on moments? When it comes to National Peach Melba Day and January, it was an epiphany moment.
Continue reading “A Kiss of Summer to Chase Away the Winter Blues”Beefy Enchilada Cups
Today is National Curry Chicken Day and (oh yeah!) National Glazed Donut Day. So what do Beefy Enchilada Cups have to do with either of these National Days? Absolutely nothing. Not even in my wandering mind.

January 11th is National Arkansas Day. Last year, we had a big skillet of Pan-Fried Potatoes that were in keeping with the South. If you’ve been following along for a while, you know that most of the time when celebrating a state, I’ve tried to give you more than just a single dish.
Continue reading “Make Mine a Possum Pie”Slow Roasted Sunday Supper
After the crazy year we’ve all had, I’m not sure we need a day set aside to gather for Sunday Supper as a family unless we are talking family beyond the immediate. For so many of us, sitting down together with those we live with, coming together as a family at mealtime has returned as the norm. So much of life outside our doors that once got in the way of Sunday Supper has been canceled, postponed or modified.
