How international supermarkets can break up a dinner rut without costing a fortune

Rebecca Boone, Associated Press  |  Posted Aug. 28 - 11:46 p.m.  |  Save Story

When kitchen burnout hits, figuring out what to make for dinner every day can feel like an impossible task. Eating out gets expensive.

Specialty markets have been growing in the U.S., and foodies recommend leaving your neighborhood to explore the options. Don't be afraid to ask questions when you encounter an aisle full of unfamiliar ingredients. Begin by adding new flavors and products to more familiar foods and pantry staples. For instance, try swapping scrambled eggs and toast for a Ugandan rolex. That's a thin vegetable omelet wrapped in chapati flatbread.
