National Strawberry Shortcake Day
Yum! If a super strawberry dessert deserves its own day, a strawberry shortcake wins my vote. Always a crowd-pleaser on a summery day, slice up those fresh berries (and mash more than half of them to up the juiciness). I … Continue reading
National Chocolate Ice Cream Day
Not that we need an “official” holiday to indulge, but any excuse to visit an old-fashioned ice cream parlor is a good excuse! Or simply load up a bowl at home… enjoy au natural or loaded with your favorite toppings … Continue reading

Fly! Fly! Fly! Every May 26th comes this simple day of fanciful fun for children and adults. If you like folding your own paper airplanes, you may know the whimsical term “aerogami,” a nod to origami, the Japanese art of … Continue reading
Edible Book Day
Incredible Edibles happen to be a favorite of mine. And Edible Book Day is no April Fool’s Day joke. The French gourmet, Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (born on April 1, 1755) wrote “The Physiology of Taste” (1825), which became the gastronome’s bible. … Continue reading

Christmas Celebrations to Cherish
For the love of Christmas! I have always loved Christmas… the decorations, candlelight services, fresh baked aromas, music, parties, family gatherings, sharing. But with no small children in the home any longer, the need for all the presents under … Continue reading

Roman Toga Party
Theme parties set the stage for fun. In college we found toga parties to be a blast, but as adults, they’re still a hoot-and-a-half. They’re easy for guests, too. Simply tie on a white bed sheet and decorate your head … Continue reading
Outdoor Entertaining
We were recently invited to an outdoor appetizer party with an international theme. After a busy day of boating, I knew I needed a super simple-to-prepare recipe that was also super satisfying for ravenous appetites. Recognizing a pot luck … Continue reading
