February 21: National Grain-Free Day, and National Sticky Bun Day.

🌽National Grain-Free Day inspires families and friends to gather and enjoy each others’ company over grain-free meals. What a remarkable way to devote an entire day to loved ones who cope with dietary limitations. Not only does National Grain-Free Day create a way to recognize the difficulties of a restricted diet, but it celebrates the family and brings everyone back into the kitchen for a meal designed just for them. Often someone who cannot have wheat, corn or rice due to an allergy or another autoimmune disease finds themselves eating celery sticks at the latest family gathering or office party. But what we truly miss are the traditional family meals and feeling included. National Grain-Free Day sets out to create an entire day full of meals entirely grain-free.

🍩National Sticky Bun Day! Known as “schnecken” meaning snail, the sticky bun is rolled into a sweet spiral that resembles its German name. Still considered to be a Pennsylvania specialty, it is believed the sticky bun’s origin in the United States began in the 19th century. German settlers brought their baking traditions with them when they began settling in and around Philadelphia. Most often served for breakfast or as a dessert, sticky buns consist of rolled pieces of leavened dough that contain brown sugar and sometimes cinnamon. Before the dough is placed in the pan, the pan is lined with sticky sweet ingredients such as maple syrup, honey, nuts, sugar and butter. When the buns are finished baking, they are flipped upside down so the sticky bottom becomes the topping. Famous cousins to the sticky bun are the cinnamon roll, caramel roll and monkey bread.

Does sticky buns count as grain-free? Anyway save me a sticky bun for later because tomorrow is a state theme day and I'm not done with it. I did not realizes there was so many things to do. I'm sifting through it as fast as I can. I think I even manage a couple of places the guys might be interested in.
