Good day and welcome to the Sprout, where it’s National Roast Leg of Lamb Day – a meal your host had for the first time the other week, and discovered it is particularly delicious if the lamb leg is stuffed with lots of garlic and butter. The more garlic and butter, the better!
Spoiler my personal favorite is National Unicorn day. (April 9th.) I got my list from National Today.

CLEVELAND, Ohio A baked or fried empanada is the perfect way to enjoy a hearty snack or a meal on the go.
Today, we celebrate the empanada, a traditional hand pie that’s baked or fried and filled with meat, cheese, veggies or fruits, on April 8 for National Empanada Day. We found six varieties of empanadas when we tasted and ranked 95 frozen appetizers from grocery stores recently.
The origin of empanadas is unknown but they are thought to have originated in Persia, although a cookbook published in 1520 mentions empanadas filled with seafood in the recipes for Catalan, Italian, French and Arabian food. They made their way to American shores when the Spanish introduced them to the Aztec and Mayan cultures.

April 8 is National Empanada Day and who isn’t excited about celebrating one of our favorite Latin American foods? I grew up eating Puerto Rican-style empanadas which are often called pastelillos and to this day they are still one of my very favorite foods. Nearly every country in Latin America has their own version of the empanada, and while deep-fried empanadas with a crispy, flaky dough and meaty filling are certainly the most well-known, there are actually a bunch of different types of shells and a variety of fillings used for empanadas in countries throughout Latin America.
From savory meat-and-cheese empanadas to sweet dessert empanadas, you really can’t go wrong. In case you need one more excuse to indulge on National Empanada Day, here are 11 empanadas from countries throughout Latin America to inspire your next meal. Get ready for some seriously good eats!
