"September 17 is... 
National Apple Dumpling Day

Apple dumplings are a popular dessert in the USA. They contain apples, raisins, sugar, cinnamon or whatever fits the cook's taste. The filling is covered with dough and then baked. They are served while still warm and fantastic with ice cream. They look like crunchy pouches and taste like a small cake. There are many variances in recipes alternating the kind of apples or including additional ingredients."

Awakenings: Junk Food Junkie

Awakenings: Junk Food Junkie | Human Interest | Scoop.it

"Do you have an insatiable sweet tooth...the sweeter the better? Do you absolutely crave the salty along with the sweet? Do you love, love, love popcorn...perhaps the saltier the better never forgetting the butter, REAL butter? Do you load up on the salty fries or chips along with that greasy burger? Does a slice of pizza never seem to be enough with more, more, more sometimes equaling the whole 'thang'? In other words, are you a junk food junkie? Well, if you answered yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, then this day's celebration is definitely going to be the day for you!


July 21 is... National Junk Food Day"

Awakenings: Delicate, Chewy, & Crisp

Awakenings: Delicate, Chewy, & Crisp | Human Interest | Scoop.it
Foodie fun for this day targets the sweet tooth and is filled with nutritional goodness! Main ingredient...oatmeal, which is truly beneficial for reducing cholesterol and maintaining healthy hearts. The combination of slow-burning carbs and fiber found in oats is a great fuel source for breakfast. Not into the full meal deal for breakfast...grab a few cookies along with a cold glass of milk! Yum!

March 18 is...
National Lacy Oatmeal Cookie Day

Skuuppilehdet's insight:
Oatmeal cookies are so darn delicious two days of celebration have been declared: National Lacy Oatmeal Cookie Day (March 18) and National Oatmeal Cookie Day (April 30). March 18 is the day when the old-fashioned, traditional oatmeal cookie gets skinny, thus, the relationship to being lacy is acquired because of the cookie's thinness. Oatmeal Lace Cookies are delicate, chewy, crisp, almost “toffee-ish” in flavor, and addictive. You will fall in love with these cookies.

"July 27 is...
National Crème Brûlée Day

The world of French desserts can be summed up in two words...pure pleasure! From taste to presentation, sheer artistry is at work. A perfect resultant is the sound of the spoon cracking the caramelized shell covering an expertly crafted Crème Brûlée. The Crème Brûlée typically has a custard base flavored with vanilla. However, it is sometimes flavored with lemon or orange (zest), rosemary, chocolate, coffee, liqueurs, green tea, pistachio, coconut, or other fruit. A matter of personal taste!"
