Who is ready to mix up their weekly dinner menu? I am! While I love my chicken stuffed with goat cheese and spinach, I know there is so much more out there for me to cook! As a food writer, I really feel like I have done myself a disservice by not expanding outside of my North American cooking recipes, except for Chinese Take Out and Butter Chicken. To get started on taking my tastebuds on a world wide tour, I’ve created a list of ten recipes that aren’t too intimidating to start cooking. Let’s dig in!
Swap out traditional beef stew for this spicy number! When paired with rice, it’s the perfect meal for a chilly night inside.

Grilled Chicken Souvlaki has to be one of my favorite dishes. I especially love adding it to a Greek salad and squeezing lemon on top. Delicious!

How could I write about international foods and not write about Serbia? Yes, we have even been missing out on seriously delicious food from Serbia. Serbians take great pride in their delectable dishes and their memorable get togethers. So why not have a party and try out this new recipe on your friends! They won’t be able to go back to the regular burger, I’ll tell you that!

Shakshouka is a very different dish than what we are used to in North America but it is worth trying! It’s essentially tomato sauce with eggs cracked into it. You can have this low carb, high protein dish for breakfast or supper!
