    Lomo Saltado (Stir Fried Beef)

Arroz con Pato (Rice With Duck)

 The dish is so popular, it’s found on nearly every Peruvian family table as well as at the finest restaurants in Lima, and like much of Peruvian cooking, it’s been adapted into countless variations of rice mixture, texture and duck parts—and even with chicken or other poultry.

Pollo a la Brasa (Roasted Chicken)

 A whole chicken is marinated in a powerful combination of garlic, herbs, and spices before roasting on a spit, giving the bronzed, crispy skin an addictively exotic and earthy taste.  For some it’s a creamy melange of the mint with cilantro, garlic and chili in a mayo base that Peruvians (and everyone else) goes crazy for. If you can’t make it to Peru, this is definitely a classic worth.

Uruguay: URUGUAYAN DESSERT.

 The sugary cake is light and fluffy and while there’s a delicate trace of peach and rum flavor, the whipped cream, dulce de leche, and meringue definitely star

 It’s a dish mostly found in southern Brazil, which originated within African slave and Afro-Brazilian communities during the late 17th century. The hominy soaks overnight before simmering with the milk until it becomes very thick and creamy, with a texture reminiscent of rice pudding.

Quesillo: Venezuela


 Unlike versions found in other parts of the world, this local rendition calls for whole eggs, instead of just yolks, to give an airy, less dense texture. It’s topped with a thin caramel syrup for a touch more caramel flavor.

Tawas Tawas: Bolivia

Flour, egg, and baking powder make up a dough that’s rolled out, cut into triangles, and then fried in hot oil to become a miniature pillow. It’s similar to a sopapilla except bite-size, topped with powdered sugar and drizzled with raw honey.

Every family makes a slightly different version: some decorate the cake with nuts, others even call for Chilean pisco to be applied to each layer. The mil hojas is popular throughout South America, but particularly in Chile. Also known as the “Thousand Layer” or “Thousand Sheets,” this cake might not literally have one thousand layers, but it’s still a dessert of gargantuan proportions.

In Summary south america has a lot of delicious dishes and desserts. They are quite famous around the world and many people favorite as well.

GRITS

Made from ground corn, grits are uniquely North American in this respect. Before the settlers developed the colonies grits was a common food among native North Americans. Often times in the south, people will mix cheese in with their grits or some folk prefer to eat in their grits with cream. Either way, they are a popular breakfast item served alongside eggs and bacon.

THE BANANA SPLIT

The national origin of the banana split is debatable. It has roots in Pennsylvania Ohio and a Walgreens drugstore in Chicago. However, whoever came up with the idea of splitting a banana lengthwise and placing it in a dish with three scoops of ice cream and different flavors of syrup is certainly a hero. This delicious tasting treat is one of the better variations of a traditional ice cream sundae that is unique to North America.

Banana Split

These foods are as diverse as the terrain and climate found in North America. The next time you find yourself traveling through, ask for one of these delicacies. You might be surprised to learn that you can’t find them in every location in North America. Some of these foods are indigenous to the south, while others have their roots in eastern or western coastal regions.  These foods are sure to delight your pallet.

North America is known for its diverse landscape and climate.  Experience everything from subtropical white sandy beaches to the frozen snow capped peaks of its glorious mountain ranges.  Cruise through the wheat fields of the Midwest region and into the desert that leads to the western frontier.

You don’t have to fly halfway across the world for your favorite Spanish dishes. From Spanish rice to chocolate churros, these Spanish recipes bring Barcelona to your kitchen.

German old fashion Food

Oma's old-fashioned Rouladen. I use German mustard and a German pickle in each roll. Delicious!

Back in the 40s and 50s, when my German mother-in-law (aka “Oma”) was a young girl in Northern German, rouladen was her family’s traditional Christmas dinner. 

Greek Style Roasted Potatoes

In the original version, a lot of water is used and the potatoes don’t brown at all. When we’re talking about roasted potatoes, I want mine soft, creamy, and at least a tiny bit browned. These aren’t as crispy as French fries or my spicy potato wedges, but they are a little crisp.

Crisp on the outside and with a creamy center, these lemony Greek style roasted potatoes are a great change of pace!

Ingredients

  • 600 grams (1 pound 5 ounces) potatoes
  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water
  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon (for a vegan version, use vegan vegetable bouillon)
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme (or 2 tablespoons fresh)
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary (or 2 tablespoons fresh)

Coconut Lime Macaroons

It has been these vegan coconut macaroons a few months ago and it looks so excited.

I’ve been searching for a dish like this on a no-bake version but it’s still not ready so I figured I might as well post these baked macaroons.

Lime not your thing at all? Lemon juice and zest works great in place of the lime in these citrusy macaroons! The filling really does taste like regular key lime pie! One of the best dishes and made up of chocolate and drizzle so the output is more addictive dishes.

Swedish Cuisine

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
