After breakfast, take some time to appreciate the beauty of nature on National Cherry Day. Head to a local cherry orchard or farmer’s market to pick some fresh cherries. Enjoy their sweet taste and vibrant color as a snack or incorporate them into a refreshing summer salad.

For lunch, why not honor World Snake Day by trying something adventurous? Challenge yourself to taste a dish inspired by different cultures that incorporate snake meat.
