Costa Rican Food
My favorite was eating at the sodas - casual, typically roadside places offering cheap daily specials. Casados are like the blue plate specials - rice, beans, some kind of protein and veg, maybe a fried egg. Gallo pinto is mixed up beans and rice with seasonings that they serve for breakfast, can come with eggs, tortillas, a soft cheese, etc. The fruit there is incredible, so I'd often order a fruit plate. There's also fruit drinks that are delicious with some type of fruit blended with water or milk - liked the pineapple with milk combo best.

Pizza bianca! It takes me back to a long weekend vacation we took to Rome last November. Being there for such a short amount of time, we'd run around seeing the sites all day and then crash in the late afternoon for a jetlagged nap. In the evening we'd head outside and couldn't resist the freshly baked bread at Roscioli right next to our hotel. Our little tradition for each day we were in Rome was to grab some of the pizza bianca (cut to order by weight from a large pan) after our power naps to stave off hunger for later dinners while we strolled the centro storico. It seemed to be a very popular thing to do among the locals too.

Those muffins have been a breakfast mainstay for me for years. I make 3 batches at a time then freeze - 30 seconds zapped in the microwave out of the freezer, and they taste really fresh.
