Sometimes it’s easy to fall into a rut when it comes to planning meals. You’ll throw together a sandwich in a rush to get out the door in the morning, or maybe you’ll use the last tired fourth of that iceberg lettuce to make a salad for a quick meal. It doesn’t have to be that way with these international eats from H-E-B.

Pizza options have really exploded in recent years. It’s commonplace to see regional varieties available from local pizzerias. Midtown by H-E-B Pizzas give you the option to experience the taste of an Italian stone-fired pizza right in your own home.

Then it’s topped with authentic ingredients like vine-ripened tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and other authentic cheeses. Transport yourself to an Italian pizzeria at home in under 15 minutes.
H-E-B Sushiya Onigiri
Remember when sushi was a sometimes treat? Maybe you even had to drive to the next town over to find your sushi fix. Well, sushi is still a treat, but these days you can find a cornucopia of Japanese-style sushi treats at your local H-E-B. Freshly made in store, this latest onigiri is a great on-the-go snack made from sushi rice pressed into a triangular shape. Try it with spicy raw tuna topped with spicy Japanese shichimi powder. Or try the imitation crab salad, in regular or spicy flavors. You’ll think your tastebuds woke up in Tokyo.
Picture this—it’s the end of a long day. The kids are finally back from after-school activities, the dog is walked, the laundry is done, and you are beat. The kids are clamoring for take-out.
