I don’t know about you, but I love an excuse to eat certain foods (especially those foods that aren’t so great for you). What I hate is when I sign on to Facebook at night and realize I missed National Doughnut Day or the free coffee that cafes handed out on National Coffee Day. To make sure I never miss one of my favorite food “holidays” again, I looked up each one and compiled a list of my faves. Some of these food holidays fall twice in a year, which is okay by me; I mean who gets tired of National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day? Not me! Some days have multiple celebrated foods, which is also okay. Go grab a pen and your calendar, here are the best food holidays (in my opinion):
