National Greasy Foods Day Date in the current year: October 25, 2024

Pizza, nachos, burgers, French fries, fritters, bacon, hash browns, fried chicken, onion rings, buffalo wings, cheese sticks, and other kinds of greasy food are many people's guilty pleasure and comfort food. Though they are not the healthiest choice, most of us love their taste. Besides, greasy foods are a great hangover cure.

Even if you try to stick to a healthy and balanced diet most of the time, the National Greasy Foods Day is your chance to take a break. You can go out to a fast food restaurant or cook something tasty yourself. For example, how do you feel about cauliflower fritters?

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup milk, 1 egg, 1 tsp melted butter, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper. Stir until smooth. Mix in 1 cup chopped raw cauliflower, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup finely chopped onion. Drop by spoonfuls into hot oil and fry till crispy and brown. Sprinkle with salt while hot before serving.
