"With at least 365 reasons to celebrate, not a single day goes by in a calendar year without something different being on the calendar each one of those days. The number of actual celebrations add to a number greater than 365 since some days boast more than one observance. A 'more than one' celebration is ready to be fulfilled! Just be sure not to stop with the first one!

September 22 is...
National White Chocolate Day, Ice Cream Cone Day and Family Day!"

Some things are meant to go together - bacon & eggs, apple pie & ice cream, strawberries & cream, peanut butter & jelly, peas & carrots, burger & fries, pizza & beer, cookies & milk, coffee & doughnuts, the synergy goes on and on. Um-m-m-m? Looks like chocolate was left off the list...not quite!

Chocolate Caramel Day

Via Sharla Shults
Skuuppilehdet's insight:
The union of chocolate and caramel is arguably one of the greatest flavor combinations ever conceived by man. These two ingredients appear in countless candy bars, ice cream flavors, confections, and desserts. Of course, to top it off even more, just add nuts! O-o-o-o-oH! What a mouth watering delight - the salty with the sweet!

Everyone knows a Southern favorite is pecan pie. It even has its own day, National Pecan Pie Day, which is celebrated on July 12 of each year. [Check it out for some scrumptious pecan pie dessert ideas, like Crockpot Pecan Pie, Honey Pecan Pie,and Pecan Pie Cheesecake.] This decadent, succulent, rich, delicious pie is already so-o-o-o-o yummy but is about to be taken to an even higher level. When you thought it couldn't get any better someone came along and added chocolate!

"What is your favorite nut...and I don't mean comedian? There have been many opportunities throughout the year to celebrate different kinds of nuts from the actual nut itself to various nutty recipes to those smothered, covered or dipped in chocolate. The nut for this next celebration had you Feelin' Nutty back in November making the statement "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't" followed by the question "...but when do you NOT feel like a cashew?"


Just saying the word makes you want to pull a handful out of a can or bag and chomp, chomp, chomp away! Then, to completely cover them in chocolate is absolutely sinful! But, let's do it!


April 21 is... Chocolate-Covered Cashews Day"

Awakenings: Go Bananas!

Awakenings: Go Bananas! | Human Interest | Scoop.it

Pies have been around since Medieval times, maybe even way before. Cream pies, puddings and custards were the after meal highlights any day or time. The banana has been around even longer possibly the first cultivated fruit. So, today is the day to go bananas!


Did you know?
The entire banana is edible...even the outer peeling.
Banana cream pie was ranked the number one favorite dessert among the soldiers of the United States Armed Services in the 1950s.
Recipes for banana cream pie can be found in recipe books dating back into the 19th century.

Banana Cream Pie Day



Via Sharla Shults
Skuuppilehdet's insight:
Spend a little time in the kitchen today whipping up a delicious banana cream pie to share with family and friends. You can make it simple...from a box, or as complex as you desire...completely homemade. GREAT way to enjoy time with the kids as they help out with either preparation or devouring the end result! Of course, there is always that little bit of snacking along the way :-)
