The holiday season is most everyone’s favorite time of the year. And food? EVERYONE loves food. So why is it that most everyone is unaware of the fact that every day is a different national food holiday? Every single day we are granted an excuse to indulge in all kinds of fun foods, and most of us didn’t even know it. Well, prepare to be enlightened. These are some of my personal favorite national food holidays coming up in the month of July.
July 3rd- National Eat Beans Day: While beans themselves are not all that exciting, in my mind “National Eat Beans day” translates to “National Eat Chipotle day.” So go out, grab a burrito bowl with black or pinto beans and enjoy all that this holiday has to offer.
July 6th- National Fried Chicken Day: This just might be my new favorite holiday of all time. On July 6th I plan to eat 30 spicy chicken sandwiches from Chick-Fil-A, and I encourage every one to do the same.
July 10th- National Piña Colada Day: What’s better on a hot summer day than a nice cool piña colada? Absolutely nothing. Enjoy some time out in the sun, and make sure you stay piña colada-hydrated.
July 13th- National French Fry Day: I’m a firm believer that French fries are an essential side dish to every meal. The fact that there is a whole day dedicated to eating French fries is an absolutely beautiful thing. Make sure to take advantage of July 13th and try every kind of fry you can think of; curly fries, sweet potato fries, truffle fries, waffle fries, home fries. They’re all uniquely different, and all incredibly delicious.
July 14th- National Macaroni Day: Need I say more? Mac & Cheese is every college student’s staple food. Pay your respects to the incredible food (group), and indulge in some good old Mac & Cheese. Panera’s Mac & Cheese is a must-have on July 14th.
If you’re in the mood for something sweet…
July 25th- National Hot Fudge Sunday Day
July 28th- National Milk Chocolate Day
July 30th- National Cheesecake Day
And the list goes on!
