While I was thumbing through my Twitter feed one day last week, I noticed that it was National Smore's Day. I'm always up for a culinary celebration, so I swung by the store to pick up some marshmallows and a chocolate bar. (I made the graham crackers from scratch using this Marta Stewart recipe - perfection!) As I was rolling out the cookies I realized if I hadn't been on Twitter that evening I would have let a perfect smore-making opportunity slip by. So I wondered what other food holidays there may be thoughout the year. Turns out there is an American food holiday every day!
Food holidays, as well as other special observance days, are actually designated by our government. Over the years there have been enough petitions and proclamations to have a designated food holiday for every day of the year, and some foods are actually observed more than once. You can find a complete list here, but I compiled a list of notable ones belownoting a drink, dessert, and savory dish for each month. Put a few on your google calendar so you don't miss out on a chance to celebrate your favorite foods.
