Peach Cobbler Day 2026

Have I mentioned I'm enjoying this cookbook?

The American West section (see blog post from April 13, 2026) of Whisk Me Away has a recipe for Peach Cobbler. We used that recipe this year for Peach Cobbler Day on April 13. 

Catching Up April 2025 part 2

April 12 was Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day and National Licorice Day. We celebrated by having both. We did have tomato soup with our sandwiches.

April 13 was National Peach Cobbler Day. Yes, I made some. I tried a different recipe that didn't use as much sugar. My peach cobbler loving child said he liked it so yay. Less sugar.

We had an at home potluck that evening. We haven't had one of those in while. Here are everyone's contributions from oldest to youngest: cookies, peach cobbler, pizza, pickles and cheese cubes, sparkling apple-grape, lemonade.

That day was also Palm Sunday. This year I tried to do a better job with celebrating Holy Week. The Church had some good resources for every day leading up to Easter. It was a good way to focus my scripture study.

 

April 14 was Look Up at the Sky Day. It was National Dolphin Day. It was International Laughter Day.

How did you celebrate?

 

April 15 was World Art Day. I went up Provo Canyon to get a look at a place that I think looks like a piece of art. When I was there on World Water Day, I got that impression so I wanted to enjoy it again.

Nichole sent me several art pieces she had to celebrate World Art Day.

I love that she uses different so many different mediums.

April 16 was Charlie Chaplin's Birthday. Who else puts rolls on their forks and makes them dance to celebrate?

P.S. It was also National Banana Day. 

 

April 17 was, in no particular order, Bat Appreciation Day, National Cheeseball Day, Blah Blah Blah Day, National Haiku Poetry Day, and National High Five Day.

This is what happens when I hand my daughter some seasoned cream cheese on these holidays.

This is what happens when I take seasoned cream cheese and ask my son what I should make.

Son: A penguin!

Me (after "sculpting"): I think it looks like a ghost.

 

Lucky was the one who let me know it was National High Five Day. I gave him a high five for that. Jeremy showed me a haiku or a few.

We had Blah Blah Blah for after school snack. Remember that? Apple slices with peanut butter and honey? Except lately we just use honey peanut butter instead of adding honey to regular peanut butter. 

 

That evening I went to a Relief Society activity and learned a new skill: embroidery. I've done a lot of counted cross-stitching in my past so some of the stitches were similar but there were definitely some things for me to learn.

 

The next morning, I had to wipe snow off my vehicle. Note the snow covered hills across the lake. Ah, that "Spring" weather.

What She Missed- August 12

Thursday, August 12-

Middle Child Day. This is the second year since Jr. Jr. became the exact middle child yet like last year not all the siblings were here so he couldn't be the exact middle child on that day. He did get to pick what we had for dinner, though, like last year. It's fun to let him pick. So we had impossible cheeseburger pie, broccoli, and peach cobbler. Mmmm.

I love that kid. He's a hoot.

 

And look, our mountains are back.

Spring Break is Over

Sigh. Spring Break is over. School school school. Work work work. Everything else. Everything else. Everything else.

We had good weather for Spring Break. It's been stormy all week. Wind, rain, snow.

Aaaaah. The wind is blowing us.

 

Monday, April 12, was National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day. We ate grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup.

Tuesday, April 13, was National Peach Cobbler Day. Jr. Jr. was thrilled to see the cobbler when I brought it out.

Wednesday was busy.

Thursday, April 15, was World Art Day. Nichole and I made a large cardboard Easter egg for a Utah County Birders activity.

 

A while back my children participated in a school project for their cousin who was supposed to teach some sign language to children. There became a big joke about signing "bacon lasagna" during their Zoom Meeting. You know- kids. For dinner Friday we ate bacon lasagna just so we could send a video of the kids signing "bacon lasagna" to my niece. She got a kick out of it.

Celebrating with the Menu Plan

O.K. Menu plan based on celebrations. I don't have a lot of pictures.

Monday, January 11, was National Milk Day. We had chocolate milk with our dinner.

Wednesday, January 13, was Korean American Day. I tried a new recipe from Six Sisters' Stuff that my sister recommended. Korean Beef and Rice. 

It called for soy sauce and when I pulled the soy sauce out to use it, I realized I didn't have enough. The reason? I used most of it to make Chex Mix for New Year's. Sigh. Luckily, Jeremy was out shopping and was able to pick some more up. Sigh. The kids all liked it and some commented that it tasted kind of like that Chex Mix. It was the soy sauce and brown sugar, I'm sure.

January 13 was also Peach Melba Day. I didn't make peach melba but I made peach cobbler. Mmmmmm.

Thursday, January 14, was Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day. Jr. made hot pastrami sandwiches for us. Thanks, Jr.

Friday, January 15, was National Bagel Day. We made breakfast sandwiches on bagels. Yummm.
