Food Celebration Days
Almost every day of the year has a food celebration that we can enjoy, or ignore! Here are a few of the food days for the upcoming week, with recipe ideas for you.
Monday, Jun 01 – National Olive Day
This celebration was started 2015 by the Divina food company, to encourage us to enjoy olives, all year round.
Here are a couple of recipes to try:
- This recipe for Burger with Creamy Olive Topping sounds tasty! It makes enough topping for 3 or 4 burgers
- And this quick recipe for One-Skillet Mediterranean Chicken takes about 25 minutes, and serves 4.
Tuesday, Jun 02 – National Rotisserie Chicken Day
National Rotisserie Chicken Day also started in 2015, by the Boston Market restaurant chain. We enjoy rotisserie chicken about once a month, and a nice break from cooking.!
If you have leftover rotisserie chicken, here are a couple of recipes to try:
- This copycat recipe for Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup is ready in about 30 minutes, and it serves 6
- Or try this Rotisserie Chicken Pasta instead. It’s ready in 20 minutes, and it serves 6
Thursday, Jun 04 – National Cheese Day
It’s not clear how National Cheese day got started, but it’s a good excuse to enjoy a cheesy supper!
Here are a couple of recipes to try for Cheese Day:
- Use store-bought tortellini in this recipe for Tortellini With Sausage and Greens It only takes 25 minutes to prepare, and serves 4.
- I’m tempted to try this recipe for Parmesan Pork Medallions . They’re ready in 20 minutes, and the recipe serves 2. Perfect!
