Almost every meal we eat includes rice, a protein (chicken, meat, fish, etc.), and SALSA! For me and my family, the spicier the better. Interestingly, when I am in Mexico, my food times and habits change. We tend to eat a savory breakfast and then a big meal around 2 p.m. and then a lighter option at dinner. While in the U.S., my family and I follow the more normative meal structure of lighter breakfast and lunch and heavier dinner options. I will admit that I enjoy snacking, though, it is not as common when I am in Mexico. Here is a picture of one of my favorite dishes--Chile Rellenos (Stuffed Peppers).]]> 2022-11-08 17:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375371006 https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375374591 My family doesn't have a specific meal or food we eat. We tend to cook a lot of pasta. I tend to eat 1-2 meals a day depending on schedule. We will always eat dinner as a family.]]> 2022-11-08 17:06:56 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375374591 https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375375985 In my family, my parents and I tend to cook different types of food but we usually are using some sort of vegetable in my family we love always having some sort of side with veggies. I would say a must need for me is eggs and rice. I tend to eat 2-3 meals a day and snack on fruits such as grapes, pineapple, blueberries, and bananas. I tend to eat at home alone due to the different work schedules in my family or with my friends at some restaurants.]]> 2022-11-08 17:07:41 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375375985 https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375378065 As an American, I think one of the most famous things we are known for is our fast food. The undeniable king of all fast foods is McDonald's. Fast food is a big part of American culture. It is convenient for people who are on the go and don't have the time to cook. You can't find a street corner without a fast food restaurant. However, fast foods often contain unhealthy ingredients and can lead to health problems.]]> 2022-11-08 17:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375378065 https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375378486 Pozele 
These days there are chicken, pork and vegetarian pozele versions. Made from hominy corn with herbs and spices, the dish is traditionally stewed for hours, often overnight. Once it's ready to serve, lettuce, radish, onion, lime and chilli are added into it.

On occasions, I eat three times a day but most of the time I eat two times a day. 
My family chose to rid of snacks entirely in the household but since I'm older and own my own money, I occasionally by chips and drinks. 
I usually eat with my brothers and my mother and my father sleeps during the day so there are times we do eat together but no everytime. ]]> 2022-11-08 17:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375378486 https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375379297 a dish in my culture that enjoy so much that i can eat for days is carne con chile rojo meaning meat with spicy red sauce along potato slices . i eat 2-3 meals a day mostly breakfast or leftovers unless a new dish is made for me and my family to eat . i try my best not make snacks my routine but i do sometimes. usually i eat with my grandma and my cousins unless theres a birthday or holiday then everyone comes to my grandmas house and we eat together ]]> 2022-11-08 17:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375379297 and2310015 https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375379927 One food that is indicative of my culture is a Chile relleno. We often eat very different types of foods but this is one of my favorites. I usually eat only two meals every day. In addition, to sweet snacks since I have a sweet tooth. I usually eat at home and mostly by myself for one meal and with my family for the other.]]> 2022-11-08 17:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375379927 https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375381614 Being Mexican-American means that I grew up eating a variety of foods from Mexico. Mexican food has a lot of spices and fresh produce namely dried chilies, cinnamon, onions, cilantro and tomato. Some well known dishes and my personal favorites are carne con chile, menudo and tamales. The last two are popular around the holidays especially! For menudo you need hominy, a specific corn kernel and cow tripe and feet. It's normally topped with cilantro, onions and crushed pepper. Tamales can be both savory or sweet but in order to make them you need corn husks, masa (a mixture of lard and corn that creates a paste) and some sort of filling. Savory tamales are usually filled with meat, Chiles, olives or cheese whole sweet tamales can be filled with strawberries, nuts or pineapple. Making tamales is usually a job that gets the entire family involved and to me it means spending time with them to make a ton of delicious tamales . I usually eat 2 meals a day (not really a breakfast person) and have a habit of eating too many snacks. I love food and cooking, I usually make dinner and enjoy it. My family eats around the table. ]]> 2022-11-08 17:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375381614 mia2165250 https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375385356 I am part of the Hispanic culture, and we have a lot of tasteful meals. When I see my nana cooking, I always see her with a ton of spices that she would use to make her amazing food. I personally only eat 2 or 1 meal a day. When I do eat it is with my family. We like to gather around the table, and talk about our days. Then once we all share, we sit down and watch tv. ]]> 2022-11-08 17:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375385356 https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375387784 I feel like a food custom I have with my family is not only in the food but preparing it, in my Mexican family, it is a respectful thing to ask if the cooker needs any help. Due to the cold weather, a lot of meals that have been cooked are Pozole Rojo and Verde and tamales which I love! I eat 2 meals a day, I usually skip breakfast to get more sleep. Snacks are not really apart of my food routine because it is not a staple, there's days i do and days I do not. I eat during the day and night time, In the Kitchen Table, and with my family. ]]> 2022-11-08 17:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375387784 https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375387888 since my family came from a middle eastern part of the region and our food is really spicy and having lots of good flavor to it one of my fav thing is called Biryani which is a rice and it has meat on it whether lamb, chicken, or goat and its really good and spicy, and can eat with our homemade curd or pickle. ]]> 2022-11-08 17:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375387888 https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375396240 As a Nigerian, we have a lot of diverse food. Typically, we have some kind of carbohydrates paired with protein. Some foods that are indicative of my culture are fufu and Jollof rice which is shown in the photo.. I eat about 2 meals per day mostly on my own at the dining table. snacks are also a part of my food routine mostly because I often don't have time to sit down for a full meal.

Pozole is a traditioinal mexican dish usually served during holidays or big get togethers. It is a great winter dish because it warms the soul. It usually includes hominy, a type of meat (Chicken or pork),  and garnished with lettuce or cabbage, chile peppers, onion, garlic, radishes, salsa. The great thing about Pozole is that it always tastes better the next day so leftovers are always something to look forward to. ]]> 2022-11-08 17:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375397336 https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375402024 I often have a mixture of kinds of food with lots of Mexican food which includes lots of spices and vegetables like peppers. One of the foods we have is chilaquiles which includes chiles, eggs, tortillas, cheese, and usually includes one or two other vegetables. Typically my family will have meals with a part of the family but not all because everyone has a different work schedule. However, we will share a single meal and eat together on weekends. Often we will eat three or two times a day with dinner around 5 pm or later.]]> 2022-11-08 17:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375402024 https://padlet.com/eli2195827/xcsgdb7fa586jo0t/wish/2375516828 One food that is indicative for my culture is chicken wings.
