National Zucchini Bread Day is celebrated on April 25 annually. We all love flavorful food holidays and because zucchini bread is so sweet and tasty, it deserves a slot on the food calendar. There are dozens of zucchini bread recipes to choose from and appease your craving for warm ‘soft bread’ without guilt because of the high nutritional value and fibrous properties of this baked treat. Also, because zucchini is such an easy vegetable to grow, why not use the day as inspiration to start your very own vegetable garden?
Lima Bean Respect Day
Lima Bean Respect Day is on April 20, and we are eagerly preparing to celebrate with enthusiasm by doing the best thing possible and indulging in lima beans for an entire day. Though famously referred to as ‘the butter beans,’ lima beans have many other names: the wax bean, chad bean, sieva bean, double bean, Rangoon bean, Burma bean, and Madagascar bean are among many others. And yes, they are very much edible. Lima Bean Respect Day, however, was created to give recognition to the wonderful, tasty, nutritious legumes, lima beans. People observe this day by making delicious lima bean recipes and enjoying them with friends and family.
Titanic Remembrance Day
Titanic Remembrance Day is observed every year on April 15. Did you know that the R.M.S. Titanic ship had four hull compartments that could be flooded without causing a critical loss of buoyancy, and was, thus, considered unsinkable? The day is set aside to remember the victims and survivors of the unfortunate sinking of the ship and reflect on how the world jointly responded to a heartbreaking disaster.
