⭐️🧀EMPANADAS DE QUESO 🧀⭐️ La perfección en una foto 😍 . De chilenas no tendrán nada para muchos pero para mi siiiii 🥰. Cómo olvidar cuando llegaba del colegio a almorzar y ya en la puerta sentía ese olorcito a fritura maravilloso 😍 me acercaba a la mesa y veía el azucarero… aaaaaaa pensaba liiiiisto no más se armó hoy se come rico rico! 🤩 . Y partía a lavarme las manos con más ganas que nunca, sabiendo lo que me esperaba a la vuelta 🤤 y es que la #recetadelaolguita no falla 👌🏻 . #elbuendato ➡️ Hoy fueron preparados con un queso deli que amo, el sabroso, cremoso y bacanoso MANTECOSO de @quesoslostilos 💙 . La masa solo lleva harina, aceite y agua con sal y sirve para tartas, quiches, etc, es muy versátil. Receta masa: para 24 empanadas – 750 gramos de harina – 2 cucharadas de aceite (yo uso de canola) – salmuera hasta formar la masa. *Es muy fácil de trabajar si se les pasa la humedad le ponen más harina* . 🇨🇱🌶 Y ustedes consideran que son un poco chilenas o no? Tienen recuerdos de infancia? Los leo 🤓 . #empanadas #queso #quesomantecoso #tipicochileno #chile #🇨🇱 #familia #foodporn #foodgasm #lovefood #foodielover #sibarica #instapic #picoftheday #cuarentena #quedateencasa #yomequedoencasa #otoño #2020

BLUEBERRY CRUMB CAKE 🍰 I could NOT stop eating this grain free + refined sugar free deliciousness last night. It’s like a crumb cake meets a gooey berry cobbler and my mind just melted. Ev and I ate half the pan in less than 20 minutes 😂 . I saw this recipe by @inagarten and knew I had to give it the @beachsidekitchen twist. So I swapped white flour for almond flour (more fiber + protein), swapped sour cream for Greek Yogurt (dat protein), used a little less butter and swapped in coconut sugar. It’s not quite as sweet or fluffy as hers looks, but DAMN it hits the freakin spot! . . BLUEBERRY CRUMB CAKE For the streusel: 1/2 cup coconut sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg 4 tbs unsalted butter, melted 3/4 cups almond flour 1 tbs coconut flour. . For the cake: 6 tbs butter, softened 3/4 cup coconut sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp grated lemon zest 2/3 cup Greek yogurt 1 1/4 cups almond flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp baking soda Pinch of salt 1 cup fresh blueberries . Directions Heat oven to 350. Mix together streusel ingredients and set aside. For cake: In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and stir until incorporated. Add vanilla extract, lemon zest, and Greek yogurt. Then add dry ingredients. Last, fold in the blueberries. Pour batter into a lined 8×8 baking tin or round 9 inch pan. Crumble the streusel topping evenly over cake batter. Bake for 40-55 minutes or until cooked through (I always err on the side of under baked personally). Let cool completely, then enjoy!

You smashing this stack by yourself, or are you sharing with mates? 😅. One of my favourite down south getaways @thehungrymonkeyyy are smashing out some epic burgers via delivery and takeaway 😍. Sad thing is, I don’t think they’ll drive the 2hr delivery to me, but if you live closer I think you’ve got a better chance 😉. Personally, I would go the bad boy add fried chicken (the top one), but then again, I’m just a fat boi 😂. . #eeeeats #hamburger #cheatmeal #hungry #cheatday #delish #sydney #cheeseburger #burgers #foodporn #feedyoursoul #buzzfeast #feedfeed #devour #9gag #foodpornshare #lunch #eattheworld #dailyfoodfeed #cheese #sydneyfood #burgerporn
