Today is Pizza Party Day! Celebrate with The Morning Thing

pizza-party-day1-e1431672822143-808x382

It’s Pizza Party Day!

There is nothing more delicious than a large pizza with its doughy yet crisp base, and its choice variety of savory toppings, hot melted cheese and a group of friends to join in your eating experience.

(from www.daysoftheyear.com)
Here are some ideas on how you might mark Pizza Party Day:

  • Have your own pizza party and invite all your friends to your house to make their own pizzas or at least choose their own toppings. Inexpensive and fun!
  • Visit a local pizza restaurant, ideally one where the chefs toss the pizza dough about in front of you, for an authentic Italian pizza-eating experience.
  • Spend the day meditating about great pizzas you have enjoyed in the past, maybe compiling an all-time top ten of your favourite toppings.

Buon appetito!

Relive your stress by celebrating Drawing Day!

Today on the show we talked about Drawing Day! Drawing Day reminds you that everything inside you is worthwhile and worthy to be shared with the world. It’s also there to bring much-needed appreciation and awareness to illustrators and artists. Anywhere you see a picture, from a business card to a beautiful mural on a painting, to every birthday card you’ve ever bought, an artist was designed in making it. The best way we can thank these creative souls is by picking up the pencil and making some noise for the lost and forgotten artists of the world, and maybe find a few more in the process.

See more about the day here!

We also shared some easy Art Therapy Tips to relieve your stress! See the entire list of ideas here!

One of the reasons that we are stressed is because most of us can never say no. We found an article on 3 ways to say “no” nicely. See the tips and tricks here!

We also shared some encouraging Bible verses about stress, and how God can relieve your stress because He gives you peace and comfort through His amazing power. See the link here!

It’s Chocolate Chip Day! How will you celebrate?

chocolate-chip-day1-764x382

Is there anything that makes life better than chocolate? How about portable chocolate?

Today is Chocolate Chip Day – a day to celebrate this easy to transport around, versatile treat! Did you know that the chocolate chip was invented by an accident in the kitchen?

(from www.daysoftheyear.com)

History of Chocolate Chip Day

It all started at a little place you may recognize the name of, the Toll House Inn. Located in Whitman, Massachusetts, it just happens to be the home of that most favorite of cookies, the chocolate chip cookie. Ruth Graves Wakefield had originally planned on making a chocolate cookie, and decided to do so by throwing in chunks of a chocolate bar into it. In a happy accident, it turned out that the chocolate did not melt and mix with the rest of the cookie, but maintained its shape, filling the cookie with delicious little chocolate bits.

Thus was born the chocolate chip cookie, and the Toll House Cookie Company! From that day forward there have been new forms of chocolate chip added, white chocolate chip, mint chocolate, milk chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, even dark chocolate! All of these varieties being added to delicious new recipes to create fantastic new treats for you to enjoy!

But it didn’t immediately go from chocolate bar to chocolate chip, there was a little innovation that happened in between first. Based off of the success of the cookies she made, Nestle agreed to add Ms. Wakefield’s recipe to their wrapper. What did they pay her for this honor? A lifetime supply of chocolate! Sounds like an awesome deal to us too! Nestle (and at least one other company) went on to include a chopping tool to help prepare the bars for use in cookies. That is, right up until 1941 when they started selling them as ‘chocolate chips’ or ‘chocolate morsels’.

How To Celebrate Chocolate Chip Day

Well, the first thing to do is remember that Chocolate Chip Day isn’t just about cookies, it’s about all the things you can include chocolate chips in! Pancakes, muffins, pudding, ice cream, granola bars, pies, these are just a few of the wonderful creations you can add them to. We’ll be honest though, our favorite way to enjoy chocolate chips? By the handful out of the bag.

Here are some recipes that we shared this morning:
Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

Acorn Treats

Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

Graduation Caps
