Dig in and celebrate National Pie Day with your favorite confection!
Come on, you know you want to!
Come on, you know you want to!
Did you know January 23rd is National Pie Day? Really, I am not making this up. Although, let me think about it for a minute, a day to celebrate a sweet confection like pie, why not? Here are just a few pie fun facts brought to you by the Pie Council that I bet you didn't know:
~ 1 out of 4 Americans prefer Apple pie (Kimberly is one of those people), followed by pumpkin or sweet potato (17%), anything chocolate (14%, you can put me in that category), lemon meringue (11%) and cherry (10%).
~Speaking of cherry, did you know at one time it was against the law to serve ice cream on cherry pie in Kansas?
~If you line up the # of pies sold at U.S. grocery stores in one year, they would circle the globe and then some!
~Pies weren't always considered a dessert item, in the 19th century fruit pies were a common breakfast food eaten before the start of a long day. Sounds good to me!
So today on National Pie Day, eat a pie, make a pie, share a pie.....it's your patriotic duty!
