Today is National Apple Cider Day. My first instinct was to give you a recipe for Hot Apple Cider and call it a day. But that would be far too easy, don’t you think?

Say Happy Birthday with Tamale Skillet Pie
On the National Day front, today is National Baklava Day. Personally, I think Baklava Day should be celebrated in December. It’s one of my favorite Holiday Baking projects every year, a tradition in our house. Today is also Homemade Bread Day. What is better on a cold day then the smell of bread baking? Yum!

If you guessed National Fast Food Day, then you’d be right. Today is the day we celebrate all the flavors and convenience of Fast Food Dining. You can use the drive-thru to get your fix or get out of your PJs and dine-in.

Recently I had a chat with my Dad about chickens. I know, seems like a strange subject. We raised chickens when I was a kid, for their eggs. As far as I know, we never actually ate the chickens we raised, but I suppose that’s possible.

Today is National Spicy Guacamole Day. (Not to be confused with Guacamole Day in September). I suppose I could have shared a recipe for Guacamole to serve with freshly made tortilla chips and called it a day. But Guacamole is so much more than just a dip. It’s a condiment for all sorts of delicious dishes like Fajitas.

In the past, sometime around mid-September, I’ve shared a Harvest Supper to celebrate the transition from Summer Entertaining to Autumn Suppers. It dawned on me that the whole craziness of 2020 put a kink in things. Maybe it’s been all the rules and regulations surrounding family time and socialization, or maybe it was because this year was unseasonably warm in September. Autumn just wasn’t in the air.

Today is another National Pizza Day. It’s National Pizza with The Works Except Anchovies Day. Wow, that’s more than a mouthful. It’s also French Dip Day and Chicken Soup for the Soul Day. While French Dip is definitely a Food Holiday, Chicken Soup for the Soul has nothing to do with soup.

As it happens, Veterans Day and National Ice Cream Sundae Day fall on the same day. Last year I opted to ignore Ice Cream Sundae Day and went with a Yankee Pot Roast Supper with an Apple Pie Dessert. I know, pretty cheesy.

When I made this one-skillet supper for the first time, it was the week of our daughter’s Celebration of Life Gathering. As you can imagine, my thoughts were elsewhere. So rather than tinker around with a new recipe, I was on autopilot and followed the recipe to the T.
Continue reading “Some Like It Hot”Louisiana Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya
When it comes to states in our Great Nation, hands down Louisiana is my favorite. At least from a culinary perspective. While I waffle back and forth between French and Italian as my favorite type of food, when it comes to the French influence in America hands down it’s New Orleans French Foods.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before, but I tend to be a bit of a speed freak. No, I don’t drive fast. As a matter of fact, I don’t drive at all, but that is a story for another day. And no, I don’t do drugs, at least not the illegal kind.
Continue reading “Have a Slice of Cappuccino”Bison Fry Bread Tacos
The first Saturday in November has been set aside to celebrate one of the most majestic beasts to roam the American landscape – the American Bison. These mighty animals have played key roles in cultural, economic and environmental issues throughout our history. Bison were central to the lives of Native peoples, a source of food and vital to religious ceremonies.

Today is National Nachos Day, a day set aside to celebrate a Mexican Dish that has tantalized Americans since Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya first served them up to a group of Army wives in 1943. While I fully intend to make Nachos for my family tonight, we hardly need an excuse.

Today is the first Thursday of November. That means, in addition to being Chinese Take Out Day (November 5) the first Thursday in November is also National Men Make Dinner Day. How could I pass that up?
Continue reading “Let the Men in the Kitchen”All Out Chinese Take Out at Home
Here we are, poised on the eve of National Chinese Take Out Day. Yep, tomorrow is Chinese Take Out Day. Last year, I shared a recipe for Crab Rangoon with a Dipping Sauce and explained why we don’t do Chinese Take Out. It’s not that we have anything against Chinese Take Out per say, but generally speaking, we aren’t a Take Out kind of family.
