In the 1970s is when junk food started to get a bad name when microbiologist, Michael Jacobson, actually coined the phrase. His aim was to try and curb our appetite for high preservative, high salt, and high sugar foods, which we were eating at a worrying rate. A lot of people think Americans inveneted junk food but actually junk food has it's roots in Europe. In 1860 the first fish and chips shop opens in Oldham, England--then in 1869 Berlin-based Max Sielaff invents the first automat, which serves simple food and drinks. In 1902 Joseph Horn and Frank Hardart bring an automat and, along with it fast food, to New York City. Enjoy a cheat day today because tomorrow it’s back to a healthy diet.

The origins of chess are a matter of debate. Multiple theories attribute the beginning of this game to countries like India, China, Russia, and Central Asia. A popular theory credits the Indian war game — ‘chaturanga’ — as the inspiration for chess. A version of chaturanga or a later variant called ‘shatranj’ made its way into Europe through Persia, the Byzantine Empire, and the Arabian Empire. Chess’s popularity can be attributed to the fact that it was associated with wealth, knowledge, and power. By 1835, the Standardized Chess Set was created by an Englishman, Nathaniel Cook. For those who have never played (or it’s been a long time!), try going out and learning how to play. Ask a friend to give lessons, or get some instructions online. There are definitely some great chess shows like Queen's Gambit and the documentary Judit Polgar called Queen of Chess.

The peach, this juicy fruit that grows on a medium-size tree, is native to China and was taken to the New World by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. Commercial cultivation and a favorable climate has made this fruit the second largest fruit crop produced in the United States (after apples). Like other ice cream flavors, the creation of peach ice cream also has an intriguing story behind it. It all started when Auguste Escoffier, a French chef, created a new dessert for a dinner party. The sweet dish was a fascinating ice sculpture of a swan that was resting on vanilla ice cream and was topped with peaches and sugar. If you have an ice cream maker...you can certainly make your own since peaches are in peak season until early August....or you can find peach ice cream from your favorite ice cream maker or ice cream shop.

The main ingredients include corn, meal, egg, milk, and butter. While they may have originated in the south, corn fritters can easily be changed up with peppers, onions, or herbs to give them regional and seasonal flair. Native Americans have been using maize, which is ground corn, as food for thousands of years – long before explorers from Europe came to the New world. In Pre-Columbian Americas, corn-based products were considered staple foods. When European settlers came to America, they started to make their own variations of cornmeal-based dishes-The corn fritter was invented in the southern US...which is known for having a lot of deep fried foods. Corn is the number one crop grown in the United States, and we produce more corn than any country in the world. If you have never tried the Indonesian version of corn fritters before, why not give this recipe a try for something different...their's is much more savory and you find lots of different recipes online.

Almost all of us have perfectly good items sitting in a closet or basement might want to take this opportunity to do a bit of purging and give some of those things away. And it's a win-win: decluttering your space is a benefit to you, and the things you give away will be a benefit to someone else. More than 10% of Americans rent offsite storage and 25% of people with two-car garages don’t have room to park cars inside them. We spend $1.2 trillion – in America alone annually on nonessential goods...so go through your stuff and see how much of that unused stuff you can give away.

Celebrated on this date because it is the anniversary of the day when Dr. Jane Goodall first stepped foot into the Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, on July 14, 1960. The work done by Dr. Goodall provided amazing insight into the unique communities in which these intelligent creatures dwell. In 1961, a chimpanzee named Ham became the first hominid to travel to space. His mission tested NASA’s Mercury spacecraft and helped ensure human safety for future flights. Chimpanzees are extremely intelligent primates, using special gestures, facial expressions and sounds in order to communicate with each other. They are one of the few animal groups that use tools to get things done. Today all four of the subspecies of chimpanzees are on the endangered list. You can find lots of chimp documentaries to learn more.

This classic dish is similar to pork 'n' beans, but substitutes sliced hot dogs for the pork. Baked beans date back to the Civil War era and were among the first canned convenience foods in the United States. Combining hot dogs with baked beans became popular in the 20th century, offering an affordable and filling meal. Home cooks love to put their own spin on the dish...they often elevate the canned base by adding brown sugar, diced onions, mustard, barbecue sauce, and custom spices....and adding different types of hot dogs: turkey, chicken, or even veggie dogs.

The story of their creation can be found in a family manuscript dated 1781, which reveals that potatoes were originally cut into the shape of fish and served in lieu of the fish normally caught in a series of small villages in Belgium and why they’re called French is often attributed to a popular theory that troops coming over during World War I got their hands on Belgian Fries. However, there is another more popular and accepted theory to their name is that Thomas Jefferson brought the dish to the U.S.A. While serving time as an ambassador, Jefferson spent a lot of time in France and went on to serve “potatoes served in the French manner” at a White House dinner in 1802. Whether you prefer them thin, thick, curly, or crinkle-cut, this is the day to celebrate with your favorite dipping sauce.

In those days it was specifically known as the Nazareth Sugar Cookie, as it was the only recipe of its kind...Most sugar cookies are made with a mixture of sugar, vanilla, eggs, butter, flour, and either baking soda or baking powder....Using powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar in some recipes yields a softer, denser cookie because it contains a touch of cornstarch. Chilling the dough before baking is key. It prevents spreading, ensuring sharp edges and well-defined shapes.

By early July, gardens across the country are beginning to overflow with cucumbers. It’s the peak of the "dog days of summer" and the last thing anyone wants to do is turn on a hot oven. Cucumbers are often dismissed as just crunchy water because they are 95% water but they contain flavonoid and tannin compounds to help block harmful free radicals. They are rich in vitamin K and silica, which help with bone health. The day honors Logan Moffitt, the viral "Cucumber King" of TikTok whose recipes sparked a global culinary craze.

It also recognizes and supports the hard work, innovation, and quality that define American manufacturers. Labels on products that signify the country of origin are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). While these labels are mandatory for imported goods, only some products made in America — for example, automobiles, furs, textiles, and wool — must have the labels. But what exactly makes a product eligible for the ‘Made in the USA’ stamp? Well, when “all or virtually all” of the product is made in the United States, the brand can ask for a ‘Made in the USA’ label and the product becomes ‘American-made.’

Did you know that the postal service in the United States began with the delivery of stampless letters? And the recipient had to pay for it-- Luckily, not long after, new systems and inventions started to streamline the process, and it became easier and cheaper to send mail. The United States government post office first issued adhesive postage stamps of the value of five and ten cents on July 1 1847. And in 1855, the use of stamps was made mandatory. Initially, stamps would usually feature the face or bust of a former American president or another historically significant statesman. That all changed in the 1890s when the post office realized that selling stamps as collectibles could increase revenue. Founded in 1923, Mystic Stamp Company is one of America's largest stamp dealers, offering a vast inventory of U.S. and worldwide stamps, collecting supplies, and expert advice. They cater to both novice and experienced philatelists.

Popularity grew during WWII when families would send the treat to soldiers on the front. Made primarily from butter, the treat was affordable to make and easily transported in packages. Plus, the shelf life lasted a long time. Some people refer to butter crunch as toffee, but there are a few differences between the two. Toffee is a traditional confection made by caramelising sugar with butter, then cooling it...Buttercrunch recipes started evolving when confectioners swapped brown sugar for white granulated sugar and added nuts for extra flavour and texture. Almonds became an especially popular type of nut to use in butter crunch.

This innovation paved the way for modern instant puddings, making creamy desserts accessible to a wider audience without the need for eggs or complex cooking. His invention revolutionized dessert preparation. By 1918 the My‑T‑Fine brand begins selling what is described as the first boxed pudding mix. Today they are available for vegans too....using alternative milks, avocado, and even peanut butter.

Because they are so popular, special tall glasses were invented for serving parfaits so that they are also a visual treat. Of course you can use any berry you like...but strawberries are at the peak of their season and fresh strawberries provide about 50 calories per cup yet deliver high amounts of vitamin C, dietary fiber, and polyphenols.

At the Chateau of Vaux-le-Vicomte during the 17th century, du Plessis-Praslin created his first pralines, made with almonds and individually coated in caramelized sugar. The French settlers brought their recipe into Louisiana, an area of the United States where both sugar cane and pecan trees were plentiful. During the 19th century, New Orleans chefs substituted pecans for almonds, added cream to thicken the confection, and thus creating what is known throughout the Southern United States as the praline. A trip might be in order to truly appreciate the pralines American origins. Learn about the history of pralines on a walking tour in New Orleans' French Quarter, the birthplace of pralines in the United States.

This day reminds everyone how essential hydration is, not just for comfort but for keeping the body working at its best. Without enough water, everything feels harder. Muscles tighten, headaches creep in, and focus slips away. Dehydration can also increase the risk of developing kidney stones. Even mild dehydration can leave you sluggish and out of sync. The body relies on fluids to regulate temperature, digest food, and keep joints moving smoothly. Elevate your hydration by adding lemons, strawberries, or cucumbers and let them steep in your water. This not only enhances taste but also makes drinking more enjoyable. and don't forget to keep your pets hydrated too!! Fresh water every day is essential for them too!!

In some regions of the United States, Long Johns are marketed under the name eclairs. However, the two are not quite identical. Long Johns are made with donut pastry and typically filled with vanilla pudding or custard. The eclair, on the other hand, requires a little more effort and expense to make.

By the early 1800's the concept of picnic spreads to Britain and the rest of the Isles, with an official Picnic Society meeting regularly near the Pantheon in London. So...pack your favorite snacks, find a scenic spot, and enjoy the fresh air....you might even make some new friends.

Mascots have been around for over 130 years. The term was popularized in the 18th century when a French composer wrote the opera “La Mascotte.” The work became so popular that it was translated into English as “The Mascot,” meaning any animal, person, or object which brings good luck. Then on November 11, 1882, according to a sports article in the London newspaper “The Era,” a football match between Middlesbrough Association and a newly formed team named La Mascotte took place in which one player dressed up in a costume. This was most likely the first mascot in the sports world. Costumed mascots appeared in the mid-20th century, which allowed teams to choose any creature to become their ambassador. Nowadays, mascots stir up the fan base, entertain and also educate. They have filled all American landscapes. Mascots aren't just for sports...they are also commonly used to represent consumer products...like Mr. Peanut and the Enegizer Bunny.

By 1916 Dr. George Washington Carver publishes the Tuskegee Institute bulletin “How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption,” featuring several recipes for peanut-based cookies and desserts. Peanut butter cookies are incredibly easy to make: peanut butter, sugar, and eggs...and, yes, the fork marks on peanut butter cookies serve a critical functional purpose in addition to being decorative. Because peanut butter cookie dough is significantly denser, thicker, and higher in fat than many other cookie doughs, it does not spread naturally on its own in the oven.

While corn on the cob day comes at the beginning of June, anyone from the corn growing belt in the US knows that the best time to get fresh corn on the cob is at the end of the summer. Some 7,000 years ago in Mexico---corn grew as a wild grass, though was eventually grown as a crop and harvested. Although the most common corn color is yellow, it can also be cultivated to be purple, green, blue-gray, red, white and even black. By the 1920's Corn on the Cob becomes a Fairground and Picnic Staple...and with the rise of automobile tourism and state and county fairs, vendors across the United States sell freshly boiled or grilled ears of sweet corn, firmly associating corn on the cob with outdoor festivals, barbecues, and Summer leisure. While it might seem rude, proper dinner etiquette for eating corn says holding the cob at each end with your fingers is appropriate. The United States is the largest single producer of corn on the planet, providing at least 40% of the world’s corn harvest.

That's right, the beverage made with root beer and vanilla ice cream is called a Black Cow. Frank J. Wisner from Cripple Creek, Colorado, invented the black cow. He was the owner of the Cripple Creek Cow Mountain Gold Mining Company. The story goes that one night he found himself staring out the window thinking about the line of soda waters that he was producing and as he was looking out the window, he went back to his bar and added a spoonful of vanilla ice cream to his favorite flavor of soda, Myers Avenue Red Root Beer. When he tasted it, he knew he had a hit. Wisner named the new creation Black Cow Mountain but the local children shortened the name to Black Cow. Some people even substitute vanilla ice cream with chocolate ice cream, making it a “brown cow.”
