If there 19s anything, any child can tell you it 19s that no matter how bad life is, it can always be improved with the addition of sprinkles. These delightful confectionery decorations bring a bright splash of joy to whatever you put them on, and they 19re most popular added to cupcakes, cakes, and ice cream.

It doesn 19t end there though, sprinkles are used in all sorts of things all over the world, and Sprinkles Day is all about learning about these variations and trying them out at home.

History of Sprinkles Day

Like everything else sprinkles have an origin point, we 19re fortunate that there even happens to be a way to trace them back some of their first appearances. They were originally referred to as Nonpareils and can be found as early as the 18th Century, though there is evidence to suggest that they were in use even earlier than that.

Since then they have grown ever more popular and began being found in countries all over the world in an ever-growing combination of flavors. As is clear from their original name that no one uses, Nonpareils, these tasty decorations are known by different names all over the world. In Holland they 19re known as hagelslag, in Philadelphia and Boston they 19re known as Jimmies, in Indonesia they 19re known as meses, and in Belgium, they 19re known by the somewhat whimsical muizenstrontjes or mouse droppings.

In Australia and New Zealand, there 19s a special treat made using candy sprinkles known as fairy bread, which involves buttered white bread with sugar sprinkles on top!

How to celebrate Sprinkles Day

The best way to celebrate Sprinkles Day is just to put sprinkles on everything you can! Having oatmeal for breakfast? Add some sugar sprinkles! Getting a muffin at lunch? Add sprinkles to it! Want to have a heaping Ice Cream Sundae for dessert? Give it some color with a nice dash of sprinkles. Of course, if you want to introduce a global snack to your kids, give them fairy bread so they can learn a little bit about international cultures while you 19re at it! (Provided, of course, you 19re not in Australia, in which case it 19s just a snack). Sprinkles are one of those things that can make any day better, so grab a container and start adding them to things!

Aaah, pecan pie. A favorite not only in the United States but the world over, pecan pie is considered a staple of traditional Southern U.S. cuisine. So why not celebrate this delicious dessert on its very own day by making a pecan pie of your own? You 19ve got to admit that sounds pretty delicious.

History of Pecan Pie Day

There are various ideas about the origins of pecan pie. There are those who state that the French first made it soon after settling in New Orleans in the 1700s and being introduced to the pecan by the Native Americans of the area. Other claim pecan pie was first made in the early 1800s in Alabama; however, no recipes or other culinary literature has been found that would support either of those claims.

The first actual pecan pie recipe was written in 1886. Originally, pecans were mized with custard, boiled, and then poured into a crust and baked. The makers of Karo syrup also contributed significantly to the popularization of pecan pie, as their product was often used instead of the more expensive honey or maple syrup. Pecan pie has been mentioned numerous times in American literature and television and has even become a literary symbol of the Southern States, as can be observed in the Zac Brown Band 19s lyric:

Today, pecan pie is most often eaten on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

How to celebrate Pecan Pie Day

The answer is easy, make your own pecan pie! Even if you don 19t have too much culinary experience, don 19t worry! Pies are relatively easy to make and plus, this recipe calls for a frozen crust, saving you the Pecans can be expensive in some parts of the world, so you could use walnuts instead if you like, which will also make a very tasty pie. Still, if you want to really taste this traditional Southern dessert and celebrate this day to the fullest extent, pecans are the best bet.

Most objects we see around today were the brainchildren of folks who thought out of the box. Here 19s to the imaginations and courage of all inventors!

The natural world is a beautiful place, and not always the friendliest place around. Could be why we spent thousands of years making it so we didn 19t have to go outside. One such danger is Lyme Disease, and for those who spend time out in the wild (especially campers and hunters) it 19s a danger they face every time they get an unwanted passenger in the form of a tick. Lyme Disease Awareness Month reminds us to be vigilant, and to spread awareness to help save lives.

History of Lyme Disease Awareness Month

Lyme disease is a potentially life-altering illness that is caused by bacteria transmitted from the bite of a tick. Unfortunately, the incidence of Lyme Disease is on the rise throughout the Western Hemisphere, as tick populations are expanding due to climate change. To combat this spread, many people participate in Lyme Disease Awareness Month, and help educate the public about the symptoms and cause of Lyme Disease. Many regions and municipalities organize events and fundraisers to raise funds for research, and people wear green ribbons or replace their porch lights with green bulbs.

It is important to educate people about Lyme Disease, because it is often misdiagnosed. Early symptoms can include a rash, fever, headaches and fatigue. If the disease is left untreated, it can result in joint and heart problems, chronic pain, and cognitive problems such as difficulties concentrating or remembering things. As with many diseases, treatment is more effective if Lyme Disease is diagnosed early. Needless to say it 19s absolutely vital that awareness is spread and people learn how to protect themselves, their families, and their pets from this potentially dangerous disease.

How To Celebrate Lyme Disease Awareness Month

If you have nature lovers in your family, make sure that they 19re aware of the dangers involved with being bitten by ticks. Educate yourself and those you love about how to dress to minimize tick bites, as well as what to do when one is received, and what to watch out for that may indicate early signs of Lyme Disease.

The natural world is a wonderful place and we all want to be able to get out and spend more time in it, make sure you educate your friends and family on how to do it safely. Lyme Disease Awareness Month is the perfect time to organize flier campaigns, and remind everyone to be just a little more alert for ticks.

Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely.

Walt Whitman

They dangle from their tree like jewels, and when split open reveal within a treasure trove of burgundy delight, little bursts of flavor wrapped around seeds that promise endless seasons more of their luscious flavor.

Such was the seductive power of the pomegranate that Persephone, warned by her mother not to eat of anything offered to her by Hades, indulged in six seeds that locked her forever into a seasonal dance with him. Pomegranate Month recognizes the power in these delightful and unique fruits, and everything they 19ve brought to both mythology and the culinary world.

History of Pomegranate Month

The Pomegranate has been with us for a very long time, stretching back through history to its first recorded appearance in Ancient Egypt, where it was used for the treatment of various infections and even tapeworm. We can then see it in Ancient Greece where it was considered the fruit of the dead, and was associated with the Hades and Persephone myth, where her consumption of six seeds led to her spending half the year locked in the land of the dead.

Pomegranates are more than just a simple fruit, they 19re packed of Vitamin C, dietary fiber, folate, and much more. They 19re truly little treasure-troves of health and nutrition, with a reputation for being something of a miracle cure.

Such was its popularity that POM has used it as the foundation of its entire product line, citing anti-inflammatory, anti-disease, and anti-oxidant properties as just a few of its benefits. Such wonderful rich and beautiful fruit deserves a celebration, and that 19s what Pomegranate Month brings it.

How to celebrate Pomegranate Month

Pomegranate Month is best celebrated by emulating Persephone and indulging in the decadence that is the Pomegranate. There are endless ways of enjoying the pomegranate, from simply feeling the delicious burst of each juice enwrapped seed as you pop them between your teeth, to a full and rich glass of the glimmering juice.

You can even choose to enjoy them in some cultural favorites, including ash-e anar, a soup from Persia that is based in the juice of this delicious plant. Want something to carry you through your day while providing a tart explosion? Buy them dried and mix them into your trail mix or snack on them throughout the day.
