Sweet and Sour Lychee Pork
This is my favorite meat recipe! The lychees give it a really unique flavor. Enjoy!
Chicken Parmesan Meatballs
Make ground chicken meatballs and coat them in seasoned Panko crumbs for a beautifully browned color. Use jarred sauce from the grocery store for a shortcut in this cheesy, satisfying dish! We like it with "zoodles," but fettuccine or spaghetti would be delicious! Garlic bread and a green salad are all you need to complete this meal.
Chilean-Style Sopaipillas
This is a traditional Chilean snack or appetizer made with tender squash that's added to the dough. It's eaten during wintertime, especially when it rains. It is typical to arrive home after walking through the rainy streets of Santiago and sit down to have a cup of tea and eat a couple of sopaipillas. You can also eat ones sold by street vendors, but they usually don't taste as good as homemade ones.
