Happy National Crepes Day!
I'm sad because there are no crepes being made in my household :o(
Within hours I've had some sort of sickness come over me and before I cook for others I want to make sure it's not contagious. So when the coughing and feverish feeling goes away, the smell of homemade crepes will fill this house!
Goodnight and stay warm Houston!
Food Holiday!
I almost forgot! Today (well yesterday now...wow I need to have some time management) is National Crepes Day!
Since tonight was filled with southern goodies, I'll make crepes (for my first time BTW) tomorrow night and post some pics.
I'm thinking classic Nutella with bananas..?!? Mmm I can hardly wait.

National Cheese Lover's Day
Mmm cheese is like comfort food to me - Anytime I have a craving, cheese does it. There are endless possibilities for cheese since it's usually used an ingredient but it's just as delicious when eaten straight off a block.
Here are just a FEW of my cheesy favorites:
Pepperjack - Straight up
Mac and cheese - From Velveeta to Gourmet, any of it is good as long as it's not powdered cheese. Gross.
Chile con Queso - Come on, I live in Texas and it's good on everything!
Fried cheese - These are actually Spanky's fried cheese (Lubbock, TX) And they are the biggest, thickest, and gooeyest fried cheese you'll ever eat!
Cheesecake - Definitely used as an ingredient but this dessert can't be left off this list! Plain, with a topping, or with a swirl of flavor...doesn't matter!
Last but not least, Cheetos - This is my favorite chip and by far one of my favorite snacks of all time. It reminds me of my childhood but I still want them with every sandwich I have - I act as if they are going to stop producing them :o)
Go treat yourself to some cheese today! And if you can't eat it or don't like cheese - You're missing out, no matter what you may think :o)

Pizza Week
According to my favorite food holiday website (http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Pizza/PizzaRecipes.htm) the second week of January is Pizza Week!
That means I NEED to eat my favorite pizza: 1) BJ's Mediterranean Chicken Pizza, 2)Anything from Mr. Gatti's, or 3) Mine and Scott's favorite local take-out, Wood Fired Pizza
Even better, I just need to take the time and make homemade pizza - I've actually never have done that...I found this website that looks like it has some great dough recipes.

Happy Frappe Day!
WhooHooo I can go get Starbucks without feeling too guilty since it's a holiday - As in spending the money or taking in the calories lol
Today is National Frappe Month and I think I will treat myself to Starbuck's Mocha Frap Light!
The origin behind "Frappe" is - New England term for milkshake, from the French frapper, “to beat.” (http://www.thenibble.com/REVIEWS/MAIN/desserts/ice-cream-definitions.asp#frappe)
Interesting how it's turned into an icy, coffee drinks over the years. Here's a basic recipe for making your own:

Happy Noodle Day!
When I think of noodles I think Ramen Noodle...so I'm changing that thought into how much I love food photography.
Here are a couple of neat photos I found with noodles/pasta, in honor of the carb-loaded, funny shaped food's holiday:

Feb 10 = Cream Cheese Brownie Day!
Since it's not even the 10th yet, only 10 more minutes, I haven't made any brownies myself...so for now I found the most delicious looking ones I could find online.
Even if you don't like cream cheese, how do these not look amazing!? I probably won't have time to make my own tomorrow, so I'll just pretend for now :o)
Happy Cream Cheese Brownie Day!

Happy National Chocolate Day!
Yep, today's the day when you don't have to feel bad about eating too many pieces of your favorite chocolate bar or taking the larger chocolate cake piece! Treat yourself to a little more and don't feel guilty - Happy Chocolate Day!
I treated myself to mini cupcakes from Peace O' Cake today - Black and White and Cookies and Cream. Black and white is a dark chocolate cake with a cream cheese filling - my favorite!! And cookies and cream tasted just like the ice cream or a delicious shake. If you want to make something yourself, here are a few ideas to get the chocolate melting http://www.slashfood.com/2009/10/28/its-national-chocolate-day/
Thinking about chocolate and all the ways I love it, I have to say this:
Type - Dark
Preparation - chocolate covered fruit
Memory - the chocolate river from Willy Wonka
Chocolate Bar - Take 5 and Reese's
Find yourself some delicious chocolate and remember it's not always bad for you :o)
Enjoy and stay sweet!
