]]>International No Diet Day: May 6th
Diets can be a great ally in our fight to lose weight and become healthier, but when you’re in the middle of one, sometimes it’s best to take a short break. International Diet Day is on the sixth of the month and a fantastic excuse for a “cheat day”.
International Hummus Day: May 13th
This chickpea-based spread and dip, which has surged in popularity over the last couple of decades, will have its day in the spotlight on May 13th. Head to your favorite Middle Eastern restaurant and order a batch, or try making some yourself!
Asparagus Day: May 24th
One of our favorite vegetables to experiment with in the kitchen is asparagus, and Asparagus Day on May 24th is a great chance for you to make a meal including this veggie. We personally like grilled asparagus, but you could also include it in a risotto or oven-roasted!

Empanadas are a fried, doughy treat that is commonly made and consumed in countries such as Spain, Argentina, and the Philippines. They can be filled either with sweet or savory ingredients and are the perfect snack on the go!
EMPANADAS DE QUESO 
. 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 
. 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

Baking has its world celebration day on the nineteenth of May, a day in which we should all dedicate some time to baking one of our favorite treats! From cakes to breads, use your imagination and make something absolutely to die for on this day.
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!World Hamburger Day: May 28th
Hamburgers are a classic food that is best enjoyed made outside on a grill in the beautiful spring weather. On this Thursday, why not fire up your grill after work and make your favorite hamburger to celebrate?
. One of my favourite down south getaways @thehungrymonkeyyy are smashing out some epic burgers via delivery and takeaway 
. Personally, I would go the bad boy add fried chicken (the top one), but then again, I’m just a fat boi
