American food is VERY diverse. Basically, we have every type of food cuisine from across the world. A lot of our dishes have influences from Mexico (like Tex-Mex), Chinese, Italian, etc.
"Normal" American Dishes could include:
Meatloaf
Mashed Potatoes
Cheesy Macaroni
Steamed Veggies (broccoli, green beans, carrots, etc).
Hamburgers
Deli Sandwiches
Again, "American" food has been influenced by so many different cultures/cuisines, that it is sometimes hard to distinguish whether it is originally American, or influenced by another country.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the last couple years, I'm sure you've heard of the Paleo Diet. Read here https://tr.im/Mb4wG
I hate to even call it a diet, because it's really just the real way that humans have eaten for almost 1.9 Million years, as opposed to the modern-day processed food diet full of grains, sugars, and processed vegetable oils.

I'm an America...
For breakfast I ate leftover soba noodles.
Lunch: an apple
Dinner: some cheetos and another apple.
I need to go shopping. Most of the time Americans eat leftovers.

Because it has a huge range of cultures you would find meals from nearly all over the world.
Meat like steaks, lamb and chicken are popular as well as different types of fish etc.
