The National Food Holidays of September 2013


September is the month where many people begin to realize they haven’t spent enough time focusing on what needs to be done to prepare for the hectic last few months of the year that lie ahead. Yes indeed, many of us worked hard on our Summertime bodies so that we could “turn up” by the pool or at the beach (please let the term Turn Up disappear next year) but what the major holidays that now sit right around the corner that consume some of us for weeks ahead of time, putting menus together and figuring out who is going to have the best feast to partake in.

The decorations for Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas are in full force at just about every store you walk into and then before know it, its New Years and the routine starts all over again. This year we vowed to take a stand against the mundane routines that we fall victim too and are going about things a bit differently around these parts.
