Do you see it? Can you smell it? Can you sense it? Love is in the air. That’s because it’s Lover’s Day. Another Holiday for romance and marriage!?
When you’re in love, every day is Lover’s Day. Sometimes shy and timid people need a little incentive to express their love or to take a “leap”. Valentine’s Day is one such opportunity and lover’s Day is yet another chance at love.
Did you know people plan their Weddings on Lover’s Day? Which is an appropriate date.
What do you do on Lover’s Day? Express your love to that special someone in whatever way you feel is appropriate. It doesn’t have to be gifts. We suggest you cap off this day doing what lovers do.
History and Origin of “Lover’s Day”:
Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this Holiday. In researching this Holiday, we found endless references to Lover’s Day. Many were promotions by companies like hotels or travel agencies held on various dates all year long. We also found many Holidays for things like Quilt Lovers Day, and Pet Lover’s Day;
English Muffins are believed to have been created in the 10th or 11th Century in Wales, England. English Muffins were first called a “Toaster Crumpet”. Samuel Bath Thomas, a British immigrant to the United States, is credited with introducing the English muffin to the United Sates in 1894. Always toasted, English Muffins were originally served in the finest restaurants and hotels. It didn’t take long for English Muffins to make its way to the average American breakfast table.
The versatile English muffin was first served as part of the breakfast meal. Or as a quick morning bite to eat, before heading out for a busy day. The English Muffins versatility became quickly apparent. Nowadays English Muffins are consumed for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. For breakfast, toasted English Muffins are slathered with Butter, which soaks into all of the nooks and crannies. We all have our own homemade version of the Egg McMuffin. Including the “Egg McDaddy”. For lunch, you can load up the English Muffin with Meats, Cheese and Condiments. Kids love Peanut Butter and Jelly on English Muffins. For dinner time, the English Muffin acts as the side Bread. Or you can pile almost anything on top of the English Muffin. Try heaping Mac and Cheese on an English Muffin. English Muffins make great snacks, too. Use English Muffins as a base for mini-Pizzas.
This is such an enjoyable and tasty holiday. It’s easy to participate, too. Just pop an English Muffin in the toaster or toaster oven. Then, top with whatever you prefer!
History and Origin of “National English Muffins Day”:
While English Muffins have been graced the breakfast table for hundreds of years, this holiday event first appeared around 2017. Oddly, our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day.
National Zucchini Bread Day – they hold this at a time when you are not sick of Zucchini.
National Zucchini Bread Day is a Holiday to enjoy Zucchini Bread. In researching this Holiday, we first asked ourselves “why hold this day in the Spring, when this Garden Squash in not in great supply?” The answer quickly dawned on us. It’s held at a time when you are not sick of Zucchini.
In the Summer months, the Zucchini plant produces more fruit than gardeners can use. As Summer progresses, everyone becomes sick and tired of the eating Zucchini. The harvest goes on, day after day, after day. By mid-Summer, gardeners are resorting to all sorts of tricks to get rid of the Mountains of Fruit produced in their gardens. Some even leave Zucchini on neighbors’ doorstep in the middle of the night.
Here you are in the month of April when Zucchini finds its way in small supply to grocery stores in your area.

If you are in love and a little afraid of taking the next step, perhaps today is the day to take a big leap. After all, it’s somewhat coincidental that today is also Lover’s Day.
