American cuisine?!
American cuisine?
I come from an ethnic background, and I wonder whats the staple food for americans at home. someone please list different choices for dinner lunch and breakfast
Answers:
Peanut butter (:
Haha, it seems like a staple to most houses I go to along with jelly and bread, for a PB&J sandwich! That would be a good lunch, and for breakfast something kind of simple like an omlette made with egga and anything else you want to throw in like vegetables or bacon or cheese. For dinner you could bake chicken or grill a steak, or make a burger, yum. For side dishes, potato salad or macaroni salad?
Heres a recipe for both -

Also, for drinks, for the morning you could have tea or coffee or juice like orange or apple, really any flavor. Milk is always good, you can add chocolate syrup or strawberry to make it flavored. And if you want dessert, grab some ice cream or make a shake!
Hope that helps!
