We will begin with Cocoa..

NATIONAL COCOA DAY..

National Cocoa Day is celebrated on December 13 every year.

How does Cocoa relate to Chocolate? I didn’t know so? I “Googled” it.

Cacao refers to the raw beans, pulp, and products derived from the pods of the Theobroma Cacao Tree.

Cocoa IS the source of all chocolate.

Cocoa is known for its rich antioxidants, minerals, and bitter taste, used for thousands of years by ancient civilizations like the Mayans and Aztecs for drinks and currency, and processed into cocoa powder, butter, and solids for modern treats.

Hot Cocoa is typically made with cocoa powder, heated milk or water, and sugar. It is a relatively healthy drink with very little fat and calories, depending on what you add to it. 

Technically Hot Chocolate is different from Hot Cocoa. Hot Chocolate is made by using ground chocolate containing cocoa butter. 

It first was found by European explorers in South America, where it was already enjoyed for hundreds of years before the arrival of the Europeans.

I have always wondered, “What is it with Cream Cheese Cake Frosting?”

National Cream Cheese Frosting Day is celebrated every year in the United States on December 13.

Cream Cheese is the key ingredient in this, the nation’s most beloved seasonal dessert topping. 

American Cream Cheese was created in the 1870s by a dairyman from New York City named William Lawrence. It is thought to have been created accidentally. Lawrence attempted to make a French cheese known as ‘Neufchâtel,’ but the product he produced had a softer texture since it had more moisture and less fat. This product became known as cream cheese, which was loved by many.
