May is the time of year where everyone starts to venture outdoors! And that means that there’s lots of fresh ideas for May newsletter content if you’re a food bloggers or food content creator.
May is when we start to feel like it’s safe to plan outdoor gatherings with a little more certainty when it comes to the weather. It’s warm but not stinking hot yet and the spring rain (or snow) has usually settled down!
SEASONAL HOLIDAYS:
There are multiple holidays in May: Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day (North America), Victoria Day Long Weekend (Canada) and Memorial Day Weekend (USA). All of them have a big food component.
- Mexican dishes and drinks (both traditional and modern twists)
- afternoon tea
- brunches
- desserts
- easy to make breakfasts for mom (so the kids don’t destroy the kitchen)
- pampering mom
- picnics, BBQs and potlucks
SEASONAL FOOD:
A steady stream of in season produce is on the way now so be sure to take advantage of it with your evergreen content!
