Quick links: Arepas
This week we’re doing something a little different because we’ve been traveling in Medellin, Colombia. We’ve eaten some amazing foods here, but the best have been Medellin’s own Arepas. You can check out some other yummy South American recipes in our Saludos Amigos and Three Cabelleros post.
Arepas
Arepas are great because you can stuff them with anything. We really like cheese arepas, but you can do chocolate, meat, eggs, anything really. Here’s a basic arepa recipe.

Colombian food is really good. I highly recommend visiting Colombia if you ever have the chance. Check back next week for food from Toy Story 2
