Happy World Nutella Day. What a great food to celebrate. I’ve surfed the internet to compile a list of food holidays to celebrate throughout the year. Some food are listed more than once…either no one really know what day those foods are celebrated or someone loved the food so much they wanted to celebrate them more than once! Pancakes, pie, and cheese seem to celebrated quite often.
