  • National Peaches & Cream Day

    National Peaches & Cream Day

    Peaches & cream. This will always be my first thought when I think peaches & cream. I think this was a 90s kid staple. Between early mornings for school and camping trips I had many a pack of instant oatmeal. I remember getting the brown sugar variety pack more often, but sometimes we got this Read more

  • National Vanilla Milkshake Day

    National Vanilla Milkshake Day

    Vanilla Milkshakes. Thick, cold, creamy, vanilla-y perfection. Nothing compares to a good vanilla milkshake.

    Eggs. I love eggs, from my head down to my legs, the incredible edible egg. Julia Roberts had to figure out what style of eggs she liked and I have just embraced that I love eggs. Scramble with cheese, fried over easy, poached, soft boiled, omelet, frittata, eggs are delicious. When I make time to Read more

  • National Rotisserie Chicken Day

    National Rotisserie Chicken Day

    Rotisserie chickens. Succulent, golden, juicy, meaty, and you can taste the “this has been cooking for almost two hours” deliciousness. You can taste it, and you cannot rush it. These have become a staple in most grocery stores and are so easy to enjoy and repurpose. I like to get a rotisserie chicken, break it Read more
