Grandparents Day is Best Spent in the Kitchen
National Grandparents Day is the perfect time to celebrate the love, wisdom, and recipes that grandparents bring into our lives. Some of the best family traditions happen in the kitchen, where generations gather to bake, laugh, and share stories. When Grandma is leading the way, the kitchen becomes more than a place to cook, it’s where family bonds are strengthened through food.
The sweet aroma of pumpkin spice cake pops, warm fritters, or slow-cooked apple cake can instantly bring everyone to the table. With the right kitchen tools, you can create recipes that honor the past while inspiring the next generation of family bakers. National Grandparents Day is all about creating these cherished connections, one recipe at a time.

How To Make Mini Desserts For National Donut Day
National Donut Day isn’t just a delicious excuse to treat yourself (though we fully support that too!). It actually has heartfelt roots: the day was established in 1938 by The Salvation Army to honor the “Donut Lassies,” brave women who served fresh donuts to soldiers on the front lines during World War I. The goal? To bring comfort and a taste of home in the middle of chaos. Since then, Donut Day, celebrated on the first Friday in June, has become a beloved tradition that blends sweet nostalgia with modern creativity.
And what better way to celebrate than by putting a fun spin on tradition?
