Around the World Week - Grocery List

Around the World Grocery List:

I have to say, this has been interesting. I've had some keeper recipes and some not so much. But, I love to turn something not so good into something tasty. Maybe I did one wrong, but it sure was fun learning different recipes from around. I have to say Europe was the hardest to decide on, so many different cultures and foods to decide on. Maybe after the first of the year, I can experiment with European foods.
