February: Baked Alaska Day to World Nutella Day and Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day

food-is-love.jpg
One month down, 11 more to go before the so-called end of the world, and if you forgot to celebrate any of January's food holidays due to work, school, prison, food coma, etc., fret not faithful foodie 'cause February offers some interesting meal ideas for you--and your dog too.

Valentine's Day is often thought to dominate  February, but the second month of the year is also known as time to celebrate canned foods, berries, cherries, potatoes, sweet potatoes, grapefruit, fiber, fondue, hot breakfast, snack food and chocolate.

And for some week-long celebrations, there is pickle week (first week), Great American Pizza Bake and Kraut and Frankfurter weeks (second week) and National Pancake Week (fourth week).

Remember also that this is a leap year, so if you miss the Feb. 29 foodie holiday, you can't celebrate it until 2016--or sooner if you just go to Red Lobster.

Without further ado, here is a list of February's foodie holidays:

February 1 -- National Baked Alaska Day. What is baked alaska? It's a delectable dessert made of ice cream lined with layers of sponge cake or Christmas pudding and surrounded by meringue.

February 2 -- Heavenly Hash Day (this day could technically be celebrated on 4/20, er, wait).

February 3 -- National Carrot Cake Day

February 4 -- National Stuffed Mushroom Day and Homemade Soup Day

February 5 -- National Chocolate Fondue Day and World Nutella Day

February 6 -- None! (ideas anyone?)
