May Recap

June 2, 2021 in Blogging, Recap

Hello, June!

Wow! We’re almost halfway through the year. But I’m totally okay with that because there are exciting things that are happening this month and I’m so giddy with excitement. More on that later, though. Let’s have the recap for May today. Do check on what you might have missed.

Family & Fun

I always look forward to celebrating Mother’s Day because my husband and son never fails to spoil me. My Dad also celebrates his birthday in May and we got him a cake that perfectly fits him.

I also did a Currently post wherein I shared things that I’m currently enjoying, eating, etc.

Lastly, I got to share some tips for some quality family time as well as a travel destination. Check them all on the links below!

I Love Food

I got to make some Palitaw which is one of my favorite Filipino snacks. Funny thing, though, I’ve never tried preparing this back in my hometown because they are always available to order somewhere. I certainly can’t do it here so I have to make it myself and I’m so happy with the results. So good!

I finally got an air fryer as a gift from the Hubs on Mother’s Day. It’s actually a 5-in-1 appliance which also include a grill. But you’ve already known about that if you have read my Mother’s Day post. And the first thing that I air fried was salmon. Look how perfect that looks. I don’t think I’ll ever cook salmon any other way than air fry. It was so good!

I love a good side and we almost always have one. One of my favorites is this sauteed zucchini with parmesan. So easy to prepare with very little ingredients and yet so delicious.

That’s it!

It was a fun-filled May.

How was your May? I hope it was filled with fun, too!

    I haven’t tried salmon in the air fryer but I want to! Yours looks like it turned out great.

    The salmon looks really good! I haven’t bought myself an air fryer yet, but I am seriously torn between that and an instant pot. Tough choice. Hahaha.

    My son just bought an air fryer. He loves salmon, so he’ll be trying out your recipe soon!

    That cake is so cute!! And you got me craving for “palitaw”, thanks for the recap!

    I had a great month in May as well although I had a lot of things to do at work. I miss palitaw, too. Because it’s still pandemic, we also can’t just buy the food items that we used to buy in neighborhood stores. In fact, it took me a year before I was able to finally eat ginataan halo-halo again. I was craving it the whole time.

    I am so happy about the gift that you’ve received from your husband, and I wish to receive mine too. Hahaha!
    The palitaw is really good and that is one of our Filipino afternoon snacks.

    Sounds like you had a good month. I think mine was pretty good as well. I really want to try that zucchini recipe you have here. It looks amazing.

    Oh wow, I’m so jealous. I still want my own airfryer. They look great! Have fun cooking.
