January is packed full of great food holidays that's observed in the United States.  It comes as no suprise; many of the foods would be warming to the body to compliment the cold January weather.
January Food Calendar:
Some great examples of this is: Hot oatmeal for breakfast with toasted & buttered bread.  For lunch a steaming hot cup of soup with crusty homemade bread for dipping would be fitting. For the afternoon it's traditional to plan an afternoon tea in honor of National Hot Tea month and enjoy the many ways of enjoying a hot cup of tea. Yes, this is just a few of the yummie Foods that's shared and enjoyed during the month of January.  We hope you enjoy learning about these foods as we share fun facts and traditional ways to serve and eat these foods with your friends.  We even have some great recipes in honor of these delicious Holidays too.

More oatmeal is eaten in the month of January than any other time of the year.

January is:  National Oatmeal Month
Oatmeal is not just for breakfast.  One of the favorite ways to eat
oatmeal is in the form of a sweet cookie. Yep, oatmeal cookies are
a favorite for many cookie lovers.  Oatmeal Bread is also a favorite
way to eat oatmeal and history tells us how oatmeal gruel played a
roll as a main meal for generations. Gruel has been a part of our
food History for centuries.  For more oatmeal information and
recipes- visit National Oatmeal Month.  But keep in mind too....
oatmeals not just for eating.  You can find some great recipes for
homemade oatmeal soap in this section too.

January is:  National Soup Month
Did you know that Soup is the #1 choice for Comfort Foods? Well it is, and I can't think of anything better than a nice hot bowl of soup or stew to make a person feel better when their feeling down.  There's just something about having a nice steaming hot bowl under your nose while the steam rises up over your face.  It is so comforting and we all love it.

How about Chicken Noodle Soup?  How about French Onion Soup
Learn how these meals are proven to be healing. That's right, "Soup's
not just for eating." it's healing as well.  In our pages you will find out
the difference between soup, stew, goulash, chili and even gruel. Learn
about soups history, health benefits and some great recipes too.

National Soup Swap Month!
You may not know this but January is also National Soup Swap Month!
Later in the month we also celebrate a soup swap day. What is a soup swap you ask? Well a soup swap is when friends, family, neighbors or even organizations get together and share in a meal of homemade soup. Each person brings a pot of soup and at the end of the meal, everyone exchanges bags or containers of soup. The idea is to help everyone fill their freezers with many different soups to help get through the cold winter months.

January is:  Bread Machine Baking Month and National Wheat Bread Month.
Bread is a mainstay since time began and continues to be at every single meal in one form or another.  It doesn't matter if it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper or tea time bread will make it's appearance at all of them.

January is:  National Hot Tea Month
Recent research findings have reported that drinking black tea may improve the body’s defenses and quicken the response to bacteria and viruses – giving people more of a reason to brew themselves a hot cup of tea this January in celebration of National Hot Tea Month – and possibly ward off pesky germs.
