A National Food Holiday Challenge

A National Food Holiday Challenge

I love to cook. I can’t pinpoint the exact moment that I went from only making myself items that come frozen and get cooked in an oven or microwave to creating large multi-course meals for a get together, but it happened.

I have to credit the great cooks in my family. Thankfully, they are plentiful so I grew up with lots of homemade dishes that were passed down from generation to generation. I have knowledge cooks in my family and I have a great network of friends who supply me with recipes on the regular.

Throughout the years, I have experimented in the kitchen, attempted to get those family recipes just right (it’s not possible), tried many different foods for the first time, and cursed the fact that I don’t have a huge chef’s kitchen, but most of all, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every moment making a meal.

A couple of months ago, I had a crazy thought. As most of my crazy thoughts go, I decided to implement and stick to a plan.

I’m here to share what the main direction of this blog will be for 2014. I had the brilliant (or maybe it’ll turn out to be not so brilliant) idea to make a dish and then share the recipe for every National Food Holiday. Every day of the year has at least one food holiday associated with it and some have 2 or more.

I am going to end up having well over 365 posts for 2014, which is insane for me to think about. How I am going to balance a full time job, freelance work, a social life, and blogging into the finite amount of time I have at my disposal, I do not know. But, I’m doing everything in my power to make it happen.

I wanted to share this plan with you all so we can be excited together!

What a fun, clever, uber-challenging, holy shit kind of idea, Jenn! I can’t wait to watch it unfold.

Dang! That’s one tough goal (expensive too!). I’d be impressed if you picked just one dish a week. So what calendar do you use to keep up with all of the food holidays? Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

This is a great idea! Looking forward to following along. 🙂

How the hell are you gonna do this though?! Are you going to just have marathon cooking days once a week or something?
