August is National Peach Month
August 1st
Celebrate National Peach Month all August long by enjoying ripe, sweet peaches at their summer best. Eat them fresh as a healthy snack, blend them into a smoothie, bake them into a pie, or throw them on the grill alongside your favorite BBQ. What’s your favorite way to enjoy a peach?
The peach’s story stretches all the way back to 6000 B.C. in ancient China, where it was a luxury reserved for the emperor and royalty. Over the centuries, peaches
traveled the world through trade and gifts, arriving on American shores in the 1500s. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan declared August as National Peach Month — making it the sweetest 31 days of the year. One fun fact: there are over 2,000 varieties of peach
worldwide, each distinct in size, shape, color, and taste.
August is Peach Month, the perfect time to enjoy fresh, juicy peaches. Pair them with grilled ribeye steaks for a delicious blend of smoky, savory, and sweet flavors that’s perfect for any summer meal. Try this peachy recipe.

National Chicken Wing Day
Tuesday, July 29th
One of the tastiest foodie holidays lands this Wednesday: National Chicken Wing Day. The story starts back in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, where owner Teressa Bellissimo whipped up a late-night snack. Instead of saving the wings for the next day’s soup stock, she deep-fried them, tossed them in butter and her own homemade hot sauce — and just like that, the Buffalo wing was born.
The craze caught on fast. By July 29, 1977, the city of Buffalo had officially proclaimed National Chicken Wing Day in the wing’s hometown. Hot and spicy or sweet and saucy, there’s a wing for every craving — so celebrate with us: grab a batch, pick your favorite sauce, and get tossing.

National Cheesecake Day
Tuesday, July 30th
July 30 serves up a slice of one of America’s most beloved desserts — and cheesecake’s story runs surprisingly deep. It reaches all the way back to ancient Greece, where a version was served to athletes, and the earliest known mention comes from the Greek physician Aegimus, who literally wrote the book on the art of making cheesecakes.
Every corner of the world has its own spin. Italians reach for ricotta, Greeks for mizithra or feta, Germans for cottage cheese, and the Japanese for a cloud-light blend of cornstarch and egg whites — while cream cheese remains the classic American touch. There are even adventurous versions made with blue cheese, seafood, chilies, or tofu. But whatever the twist, the heart of it never changes: cheese, wheat, and a little sweetness. Best of all, it’s served chilled, which makes it the perfect refreshing treat for a warm summer day.

Bianchini’s Garlic Festival
This weekend, all eyes — and noses — turn to Gilroy, and here at Bianchini’s we’re
celebrating right alongside them. In honor of the Gilroy Garlic Festival,
we’re going all in on the “stinking rose” and celebrating all things garlic.
There’s a reason Gilroy, California is known the world over as the
“Garlic Capital of the World” —
its rich agricultural soils and long history as a massive producer
have made it one of the planet’s great garlic towns.
But garlic is far more than bold flavor. It’s a genuine nutritional powerhouse,
rich in manganese, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. Crush or chop a clove and it releases
allicin, a sulfur compound prized for its immune-boosting, cardiovascular, and
anti-inflammatory benefits — all for just a few calories per clove. Piquant, savory,
and endlessly versatile, garlic brings depth and complexity to sauces, marinades,
and everyday meals, whether enjoyed raw, sautéed, baked, grilled, or roasted.

Ice Cream Month, Gilroy Style: Garlic Ice Cream
It’s still National Ice Cream Month — so why not end on the boldest scoop of all?
Believe it or not, garlic ice cream was born right in Gilroy, where it was popularized
at the very first Gilroy Garlic Festival back in 1979. It’s a fun novelty treat made for
adventurous eaters and devoted garlic lovers: sweet, creamy, and just a little bit wild.
Want to dare your taste buds? Here’s an easy homemade version.
Garlic Ice Cream
Directions
1. Remove the ice cream from the freezer for about 5 minutes to soften.
2. Finely mince the garlic, then turn the knife sideways and mash it with the flat of the blade into a paste.
3. Gently fold the garlic into the ice cream. Don’t over-mix or let it melt, or it will ice up when refrozen.
Ingredients
2–3 cups vanilla ice cream
1 small clove garlic (about ¼ teaspoon or less, minced)
