As with so many National Days, National Peppermint Latte appears on some calendars on December 3, and is missing on others completely. Last year, I chose to celebrate Peppermint Latte with a delicious recipe that utilizes Candy Canes. It’s December, what else would you expect?

A Simple Feast for a Little Known Saint
Today is the Feast Day of Saint Bibiana. Not many know of this Virgin Martyr of the early church. She is the patron saint of Single Laywomen and Torture Victims. When you learn of her life and death, those make sense. She was single, and was tortured to death for her faith. Saint Bibiana is also the patron saint of Epilepsy, Hangovers, Headaches, Insanity and Mental Illness. Those are connections that escape me.

Today is the first day of December. That means National Pie Day and Eat a Red Apple Day. It’s also Rosa Parks Day. Before we get into all the ins and outs of today, let’s just stop a moment to honor Rosa Parks. If ever there were an example of dignified courage, it is Rosa Parks.

Oh my gosh, can you believe it? Tomorrow is the first day of December! I don’t know if I should be happy or afraid that 2020 is nearly behind us. Will it go out with a bang or a whimper? The last day of November is Mason Jar Day, Mousse Day and Mississippi Day. How great is that? It’s also Stay Home Because You’re Well Day and Cyber Monday. So why not enjoy a good meal while shopping online?

Today is the first Sunday of Advent. Our Advent Wreath will grace our dinner table each evening as we embark on the new liturgical year as Catholics. The traditions and rituals of Advent bring comfort and peace to those who believe.

Today is National French Toast Day. So I bet you are wondering what in the world French Toast has to do with the beginning of the Holiday Season. Today is also National Small Business Day. While the rest of the world might go insane on Black Friday, we like to finish our Christmas Shopping on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. And we do so by visiting the Mom and Pop small businesses and craft vendors that set up shops in the town square. I’d rather support my neighbors, small family run businesses that the big stores.

Today we celebrate National Bavarian Cream Pie Day. Bavarian Cream, while a form of Custard, was originally stiffened with gelatin, placed in a mold and the served much like Jello today, but creamier. The first time I tasted Bavarian Cream was in a yummy Raspberry Charlotte. It was served at a mountain lodge outside Las Vegas. While the lodge is still there, alas the Charlotte is no longer part of their menu.

Good Morning Everyone! Happy Thanksgiving. Since I’ve already shared my Thanksgiving recipes for a small gathering, I thought I’d share something non-Thanksgiving for those who aren’t celebrating this American Holiday.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. We aren’t here to talk turkey. Today is Dine with a Friend, Play with Dad and National Parfait Day. Those are all worthy of attention.

While these Chicken Tenders might not look like your typical Buffalo Spice Chicken, believe you me they bring on the heat. There’s heat in the flour coating, buttermilk dip and Panko breading.

If this Turkey Cheese Ball seems familiar, you are right. I shared him with you a few years back as part of an ensemble of Thanksgiving Appetizers. This particular appetizer has evolved over the years. He deserved his own spotlight.

Today is the Feast of Christ the King. Christ the King Sunday is recognized by both Catholic and Protestant Churches. That said, I can only share my Catholic understanding and perspective of the day. I am not familiar with the traditions of Christ the King outside my own faith, although I would love to learn.

Today is the Feast of the Presentation of Mary. If you are a Christian, you accept the existence of Mary, the mother of our Lord. After all, without her there would be no Christ and no Christian Faithful. While some view Christianity as dominated by men, it began with a woman.

Can you believe it? Thanksgiving is less than a week away. For some of us in America, Thanksgiving might look and feel very different. While some are comfortable traveling again, others are leery of venturing outside the safety of our own backyards. Many are downsizing their holiday gatherings and even hosting a Virtual Thanksgiving with family attending via zoom.

Good Morning Everyone! Welcome to National Macchiato Day! I gotta tell ya, up until a year ago I had no idea what Macchiato was. Turns out, I’ve been drinking it for years.
