    recipes for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Earth Day, and more

    Holiday food for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Earth Day, Cinco de Mayo, and Chinese New Year. These other smaller holidays are just as important as the big ones so be sure to celebrate by making some fun food.

    Celebrate Mother's Day, Father's Day, Mardi Gras, Cinco de Mayo, Day of the Dead, Chinese New Year, Hanukkah, and April Fools Day with some fun food.

    Your mom will be so touched on Mother's Day when you present her with a Bouquet of Daisy Cakes or some I Love Mom Linzer Cookies.

    Tell your dad just how amazing he is on Father's Day by making him some Dad Rocks Fudge. If he's a sports fan be sure to serve him some football, basketball, or baseball-themed foods on his big day.

    Don't let Earth Day pass you by without sharing some Popcorn Trees with family and friends. Cinco de Mayo will be so much fun when you pass out Candy-Filled Sombrero Cookies.

    Scroll down (and through the next several pages) to see pictures of recipes for all these holidays or use the links below to go straight to the specific holiday.
