Healthy Eating Celebrations/Special Events for August 2022

[Activity2004]

Hi everyone. These are the special events/celebrations coming up for the month of August. The information is originally posted on nationaltoday.com's website. The first event is for August 6th-- Mustard Day. For those who enjoy having mustard on certain foods-- like I personally do, this is a great way to celebrate the different ways to add it to meals as a topping or mixed in with a recipe. One of my favorite foods with mustard is a cold cheese sandwich I sometimes have when I'm at home.

Please see below for more information at:

Awe! Mustard has no fat or carbs./cals. in it. I use it instead of ketchup for burgers and hotdogs when we have barbeques/cookouts.

There is a lot going on in August, a rice pudding day, that takes me back to my childhood
