📅 Food Holidays

  • April 13 is National Peach Cobbler Day. Try the easy dump cake below or this luscious bourbon peach cobbler.
  • April 14 is National Pecan Day and I think any day is a good day for pecan pie!
  • When you make the meatloaf consider doubling the recipe and freezing a couple unbaked. When ready to have them for dinner just thaw overnight in the refrigerator and pop in the oven about an hour before serving.
  • The macaroni salad keeps for up to a week. Add some cooked chicken to the leftovers for a hearty (and delicious) main dish salad.
  • If you have some of the ice cream left put a scoop on top of one of the warm brownies as an extra treat. It's also great with the chocolate chip cookies to make ice cream sandwiches.
  • No time to roll the cabbage rolls? Chop up the cabbage and mix it all together for a delicious casserole!
