August Food Celebrations

August is the perfect month for food-lovers with over 47 food holidays on its celebration calendar. August 1st kicks of National Eat Your Dessert First Month and the fun continues until National Eat Outside Day ends on the 31st. This is the perfect month to make a sweet potato dessert, and remember you are supposed to eat it first! While I am looking for more great sweet potato recipes, stop by the North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission’s Recipe Archive. With over 150 recipes, they have a savory side dish or a hearty main meal for every occasion. Remember, August is the month to have fun with your food, and no food is more fun, more delicious or easier to cook than an NC Sweet Potato.
