NATIONAL RASPBERRY CAKE DAY

July 30, 2026August 1, 2026Jensperspectiveblog 11 Comments

National Raspberry Cake Day is jubilantly feasted each year on July 31st. Therefore, today is the day to enjoy raspberry cake. Because it is a cool and refreshing dessert. And, is indeed a summertime favorite around the United States.

Raspberries are the edible fruit of the plant that belongs to the genus Rubus of the rose family. Raspberry plants grow on woody stems and are perennial. These amazing plants grow in all temperate regions of the world, too, making them widely available. Producers also cultivate the raspberry as a commercial crop, bringing them into groceries and other markets. The raspberry was once a midsummer crop. However, through innovation, new technology, and transportation, producers now grow them all year long.

More interesting facts about raspberries include:

An individual raspberry weighs 0.11 – 0.18 oz.
An individual raspberry is made up of about 100 drupelets.
One raspberry bush can yield several hundred berries a year.
A single raspberry has a hollow core once it is removed from the receptacle.
Raspberries are a rich source of vitamin C, manganese, and dietary fiber.
Raspberries contain vitamin B1, vitamin B3, folic acid, magnesium, copper, and iron.

And since raspberries are sweet, they bring a wonderful flavor to cakes.

NATIONAL MACARONI DAY

July 6, 2026June 15, 2026Jensperspectiveblog 2 Comments

Each year on July 7th, pasta lovers across the nation dig into one of their favorite noodles on National Macaroni Day.

Made with durum wheat, macaroni is a large variety of dry pasta, which typically does not contain eggs. While many people think the shape gives macaroni its name, the kind of dough used to make the noodles give it the name. The noodle is formed into shells, spirals, straight and many other shapes, too. And in the U.S., we like our macaroni! In fact, elbow macaroni is the most common form found in the United States.

We use macaroni many different dishes from casseroles and hot dishes to soups and salads. This versatile noodle makes prepping meals a cinch, too. Many dishes made with macaroni can be made ahead, making mealtime a lot less stressful. Using macaroni in dishes is also an excellent way to stretch a recipe to feed more people.

These convenient noodles serve as a base for cheese dishes as well as meat dishes. So, whether you’re a vegetarian or a meat lover, you can celebrate the day.

NATIONAL ICE CREAM CAKE DAY

June 26, 2026June 11, 2026Jensperspectiveblog 4 Comments

National Ice Cream Cake Day is observed annually on June 27. In the height of summer, an ice cream cake is the perfect dessert.

An ice cream cake consists of any flavor of ice cream in the shape of a cake. It can include many different ingredients such as cake, cookie crumbs, sponge cake, fudge, fruit or caramel between the layers of ice cream. It is then frosted with either whipped cream or a similar icing. Ice cream cakes are kept frozen until served. They are typically decorated and served at a wide variety of parties.

Although the origin of the ice cream cake remains somewhat of a mystery, this popular dessert combines the classic summer treat, ice cream, with the time-honored celebratory cake, which makes it one of the best culinary inventions to date.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Order an ice cream cake from your favorite bakery or make your own to share with friends. Use #nationalicecreamcakeday to share your photos on social media.

NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE DAY

We are heating up some deliciousness on June 12 for National Peanut Butter Cookie Day! This scrumptious food occasion permits treat sweethearts and peanut butter darlings to move back from the pies and cakes to enjoy a little peanut butter treat.

Alabama’s American farming augmentation instructor, George Washington Carver, advanced the peanut broadly. Notable for his advancements, Carver incorporated 105 nut recipes from different cookbooks, agrarian announcements, and different sources. In 1916, he made an Exploration Release called How to Develop the Peaut and 105 Different ways of Setting it up for Human Consumption. The notice included three recipes calling for squashed or hacked peanuts as one of its fixings. In any case, peanut butter cookies were not one of them.

It was in the early 1920s peanut butter began to be listed as an ingredient in cookies.

Incidentally, the peanut butter we know and love today didn’t become commercially available until the 1920s. In 1922, Joseph Rosefield kept the peanut oil from separating from the solids through this process. Afterward, he patented the process of homogenization and sold it to a company that began making a peanut butter called Peter Pan.

No one knows why we press criss-crossed fork marks into our peanut butter cookies before baking. However, homemade peanut butter cookies would just not be the same without a bit of decoration.

The best way to celebrate this cookie holiday is with some homemade peanut butter cookies, a glass of milk, and a friend.
