Food Holidays To Celebrate on Febuary 2, 2026

I spent time this morning looking through #Holidays that are celebrated today. I found three that are celebrating different types of food. The holidays are February 2 Crepe Day #CrepeDay, February 2 National Heavenly Hash Day #NationalHeavenlyHashDay and February 2 National Tater Tot Day #NationalTaterTotDay.

I don’t know about you, but I wasn’t sure what Heavenly Hash was, so this was a #teachingmoment for my family as I looked up what Heavenly Hash is. Here is what I found out: As for Crepes they aren’t something Charlie and I eat although David does. I’ve included a kid-friendly recipe you can make.

February 2nd is also National Tater Tot Day, and this is one food I would be happy to celebrate every day. How about you? If your #Homeschooling your children, you can have the study Potato’s and make Homemade Tater Tots and I’ve included a kid-friendly recipe for you.

Heavenly Hash is a classic American no-bake dessert, often enjoyed during holidays. It typically consists of:

Whipped topping or pudding, which provides a light, fluffy base.
Canned fruits like pineapple or mandarin oranges, which add sweetness and flavor.
Miniature marshmallows, which contribute a chewy texture.
Nuts such as pecans or walnuts, which add crunch and texture.
Chocolate Shavings or Cocoa Powder giving the recipe a rich taste.

This dish is versatile and the recipe can be customized with different ingredients, making Heavenly Hash a favorite at family parties and during the Holidays.

Kid‑Friendly Crepes Recipe– Soft, Easy, and Perfect for Breakfast or Snacks

Ingredients

For the crepes:

1 cup all‑purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter (plus a little extra for the pan)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Kid‑friendly filling ideas:

Fresh berries
Sliced bananas
Mini chocolate chips
Whipped cream
Peanut butter or Nutella
Yogurt and honey
Sprinkles for fun

Instructions

1. Mix the Batter

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
Add the flour and whisk until smooth.
Let the batter rest 10 minutes — this helps the crepes turn soft and flexible.

2. Heat the Pan

Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Lightly butter the surface.

3. Cook the Crepes

Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan.
Tilt the pan so the batter spreads into a thin circle.
Cook 1–2 minutes until the edges lift slightly.
Flip gently and cook another 30 seconds.

4. Build the Fun

Let kids choose their own fillings and roll or fold their crepes. You can set up a “crepe bar” with bowls of fruit, spreads, and toppings — always a hit for family mornings.

Tips for Cooking with Kids

Let your children whisk the batter or choose the toppings you use.
Pre‑measure ingredients for younger helpers.
Make the crepes ahead and let kids fill them at the table.
Cut crepes into “crepe roll‑ups” for easy toddler eating.

Kid‑Friendly Homemade Tater Tots– Soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and totally child‑approved

Ingredients

4 medium russet potatoes
1 teaspoon salt (use less for very young kids)
½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, mild)
¼ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons all‑purpose flour
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan (optional, adds flavor without being strong)
1–2 tablespoons oil for brushing or spraying

Instructions

1. Prep the potatoes

Peel potatoes and cut into chunks.
Boil for 6–7 minutes — just until slightly tender but still firm.
Drain and let cool a few minutes.

2. Shred and mix

Grate the par‑cooked potatoes using the large side of a grater.
Add salt, garlic powder, pepper, flour, and Parmesan.
Gently mix with your hands or a spatula.
- Kid step: Let them sprinkle in the seasonings and help mix.

3. Shape the tots

Scoop small portions and press into mini cylinders.
Place on a parchment‑lined baking sheet.
- Kid step: Kids love rolling and shaping the little “potato logs.”
