From Mr. Food Team Member Helayne

Before I came here years ago to join the Mr. Food team, I never knew there were actual food holidays. Now that it’s my job to know these things, it never ceases to amaze me that there are so many days, weeks and months honoring food!

I’ve come across all sorts of these food holidays. For instance, I found out that October is World Egg Day and the first week in December is Cookie Cutter Week – perfect timing for loads of our favorite holiday cookie recipes and other holiday treats. Just recently, June was National Dairy Month. There were lots of sales on dairy products at the market, which worked out great for our grilled cheeseburgers and an incredible gorgonzola-Dijon mustard sauce for sliced flank steak that my son-in-law whipped up on Father’s Day at our house. I’m betting you found a load of dairy bargains to enjoy in your recipes, too!

Make Mr. Food's Brownie Bowl Sundae in honor of National Ice Cream Month!

So let me give you the heads-up for this month to be on the lookout for bargains on a summer favorite – ice cream, because it’s National Ice Cream Month! Don’t miss Mr. Food’s to-die-for luscious Brownie Bowl Sundae recipe. We had one of these at our office recently, and it magically disappeared in minutes! I can’t imagine why, can you?

The nice thing about food holidays is we don’t have to send a card or buy a present – and often it’s our supermarkets giving us the gift of money-saving offers in honor of these celebrations. Mr. Food is always on top of these things, so make sure to tune in to watch his show every day and visit us here online at MrFood.com so you’ll be able to grab up the tasty savings and celebrate right along with us!
