Special Holiday Meals: George Washington’s Birthday Menu 

President’s Day is the day set aside to honor George Washington’s birthday. His birthday is February 22nd, but it was voted to move the official holiday to the 3rd Monday in February to create a 3-day weekend. It is better known as President’s Day thanks to retailer sales.

This is a good day to talk about George Washington and our past presidents.

Special Holiday Meals: Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday Meal

While Abraham Lincoln may have had many favorite foods, this is a menu that we came up with to make this day a little extra special, as he was an important part of our history. He was a simple man who preferred water over any other beverage, and it is said that he often had to be reminded to eat. I think my family history can also be traced back to him at some point.
