Right now I am sitting here at my desk, preparing a newsletter for the CCC subscribers.   I started thinking back on the contest alerts that Betty used to assemble for our group and how she always used to include fun (and sometimes silly!) “Food Holidays” in each email blast.

There is even an entire cookbook out there, outlining 365 days of food holidays:  Food Fest 365

I wanted to find a way to bring back this tradition Betty started, but with a new twist for the new website!  Since we have so many talented food bloggers among us, I thought it would be fun to show off some of their creations here on the CCC blog!

Here’s all you have to do.  Pick a “Food Holiday” in the month of April.  (First come, first serve!) Then either send me a link to a post you have written featuring a recipe for that holiday or you can write a brand new guest post for us here at CCC!

Let’s see how many of these “Food Holidays” we can celebrate in April!  Leave a comment here if there is a date you want to cover, or email me directly and I will reserve that date with your name.
