Even College Students Can Cook

Cooking for College Students

The majority of college students don't have a clue about cooking. We're about to change that.

Please believe me when I say that you definitely don't want to be eating macaroni & cheese and Raman noodles for dinner every night at college. This is really hard on your body. Besides, contrary to popular belief, cooking doesn't have to be complicated. All you have to have are the right recipes and an imaginative heart.

Recipe books exist that were created especially for college students. Think about buying Starving Student's Cookbook, Cooking Outside the Pizza Box, The Healthy College Cookbook, or some other college recipe book. You will certainly be glad you did.

Some people just can't stand following a recipe. Don't fret! When dinner time rolls around just snatch a few items that go well together and throw them into a pot or pan. Try chicken, rice, and steamed carrots. Also try ranch style beans, corn, hominy, garbonzo beans, (leave the juices for a stew) ground beef, tomatoes, and diced green chili. Salt and pepper to taste and throw some cheese on top. Experiment all you want.

Here are other easy meals: spaghetti, chicken Alfredo, Caesar salad, Stone soup (throw anything you want in it), hotdogs, pasta tuna salad, three bean salad, and anything in a crockpot.

An additional piece of advice: never EVER skip breakfast! Cereal, fruit, yogurt, and cream of wheat make quick and easy breakfasts. You can also make pancakes, muffins and biscuits. If you don't have time to make them on your own, buy a mix! Skipping breakfast is hard on your metabolism. Avoid it as much as possible. If you're on the run take a granola bar or an apple with you, but get something into your stomach.
