For decades, America has been described as a melting pot. When you add in the variety of ideas & resources available online; travel &/or relocation trends; & food movements to both try new things & embrace the past, the options are endless...
From a health perspective, "ethnic" dishes can be great. Many traditionally offer fruits, vegetables, & spices not found in our usual diets. All 3 offer health benefits. Not all dishes are created equal, though. So, choose wisely. Include leaner cuts of meat & whole grain starches whenever possible. Serve (or ask for) sauces on the side. Here are recipes & other tips!
