So I want to make some "american" food for some of Fabio's friends. It's hard to think of anything besides burgers, mac n cheese, corn bread.. any ideas? They said they like chili... Fabio doesn't think that is a main dish. I try to remind him that I would know. He doesn't seem to agree.
The “american” food thing is a little tough. While living abroad we’ve found it difficult to explain what that really means...after all America is the melting pot so our cuisine follows suit. Yet, we were able to come up with a number of things that are definitely all-american.
Chili
yes this is definitely a main dish. Load it up with beef and serve it with a side of cornbread. That’ll fill up anyone.
Apple Pie
Make your own crust. Seriously, it is not that hard. Baking is easy as long as you follow our two simple rules 1) be patient (e.g. Put the crust in the fridge for the allotted amount of time) and 2) follow directions exactly (i.e. Don’t skip steps or ingredients!)

Really simple. Really classic.
Have fun girl! And after you finish all this cooking, have a few caipirinhas for us!
