American Food!

A couple Sundays ago, I was really bored, so I decided I would cook lunch for my host family (here in Peru, lunch is the main meal, not dinner). I started the day by going to the grocery store, where I found everything that I needed!! I was so happy that they had everything, including Ranch dressing (which was a BIG hit with the host family).

I made a fresh salad with vegetables and Ranch, garlic bread and home style Mac n Cheese. My host family LOVED it!! They told me they want me to be the new chef of the household. I was so happy that it turned out well and that they liked it, because I had never made homemade Mac n Cheese before, or garlic bread with actual garlic (Usually I just put garlic salt... Much easier).

This past week, I taught my sister to make some good traditional chocolate chip cookies, which were also a big hit. They were so amazed by the fact that I could make cookies so similar to ''Chip's Ahoy''.

They've been bragging to our extended family about the meal I cooked and the cookies ever since. I can't wait to cook for them again. I'm thinking we'll make BLT sandwiches some day soon :)
