A classic American meal, with a touch of chile. The chiles are a great addition to the same old Mac & Cheese dinner. Definitely worth the calories.

For all you vegetarians, this veggie burger with a Thai twist is sure to please. Change it up from the generic veggie burger that I’m sure you’re sick of eating. For a healthier alternative, add a patty to your salad instead of eating it as a sandwich. Eat with a side of healthy Healthy Veggie Chips.

A new addition to Trader Joe’s with a unique topping and a crunchy crust. Serve as a main course, appetizer, or side dish. It also makes for a great and satisfying snack.

Who needs soup in a bowl when your soup is already in a dumpling. No need to go looking for a dim sum eatery when you can make these at home. It has all of the flavor of that really good restaurant around the corner with the added convenience. Never heard of dim sum? Check out this Dim Sum for dummies.
British Pub Pies

There’s always that one friend that studied abroad in London that won’t stop talking about meat pies. Now you can be up to date on their infatuation. Common in England, these different pies are full of meat, gravy, and veggies. The Brits are obsessed with these pies, and we should be too. British food is much missed in America.
Panettone French Toast
