Food you can find and make in pretty much every country:

• Pasta and red sauce with cheese

• Fresh fruits and veggies (produce is typically more flavorful in other countries)

• Fresh crusty bread with cheese/salami

• No bake cookies (oatmeal, cocoa, butter, sugar (it's fine to leave out the vanilla)

• French toast (even for dinner) with honey instead of syrup

• Scrambled eggs

• Homemade pizzas (local bread topped by red sauce and cheese cooked in the oven)

• Rice and beans with garlic, onions, chili powder (with cheese on top)
