"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."

"Something Creamy, Tangy & Sweet became the center of attention when celebrated in April on National Cherry Cheesecake Day. Then, Oh, my! Pie! Pie! Pie! to Cobbler! Cobbler! Cobbler! spotlighted the month of May with National Cherry Cobbler Day. Sweet or Sour...Tarts & Strudel were the highlight when Cherry Tart Day occurred in June on the same day as Apple Strudel Day. WOW! And the cherry goodness did not end there. It continued into August, twice already: Any way you slice it...YUM! featured National Spumoni Day, which combined three layers of flavor—chocolate, pistachio and cherry, and Cherry Reigns Supreme brought out the child in each of us on National Cherry Popsicle Day.


August 28 is... National Cherry Turnover Day"

"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"

Pie chocked full of nuts...pecans, none the less!
How sweet is your sweet tooth? Do you like pie? How about nuts? What about a sweet pie chocked full of nuts...pecans, none the less? This pie is soulfully Southern but of course, not limited just to the South.

Coffee is a terrific morning wake-me-up, as well as an afternoon pick-me-up. Not only that but it has a terrific aroma and oh-so flavorful. So much so it is an added ingredient to many other delights...Coffee Angel Food Cake, Coffee Cupcakes, Coffee Granita, Café au Lait Chiffon Pie, Irish Coffee Cheesecake, and of course, Tiramasu, just to name a few. There is one not mentioned, which is shining in this day's spotlight. Some of us put cream in our coffee so why not put coffee in the cream...ice cream, that is!

"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!"

Awakenings: Love 'em or hate 'em!

Awakenings: Love 'em or hate 'em! | Human Interest | Scoop.it
Gummy worms fall in one of two categories...love 'em or hate 'em! Kids love 'em for sure, so does that mean the adults hate 'em? For some, yes; for others, definitely no! They are sweet, they are chewy, but they notoriously stick to your teeth! A bigger question might be "What makes sugar, gelatin and flavorful 'worms' so irresistible, especially for kids?" The truth is...

Gummy candy superstar Trolli was the first to develop the gummy worm, which happened in the early 1980s. Trolli’s idea was built on traditional American marketing values: making something gross enough looking to shock parents and simultaneously attract children. [Source: Huffington Post]

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!

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.
