Cooking for College Students
By. Elise Fisher

Most college students do not have a clue how to cook. This article will change that.

Believe me when I say that you definitely don't want to be eating macaroni & cheese and Raman noodles for dinner every night. This is really hard on your body. Anyway, contrary to popular belief, cooking doesn't have to be complicated. The only thing you need are the right recipes and an creative mind.

Recipe books exist that were created especially for college students. Consider purchasing The College Cookbook, Cooking Outside the Pizza Box, The Healthy College Cookbook, or another college cook book. You'll certainly be glad you did.

For some people, recipes just aren't their thing. No worries! When dinner time rolls around simply find a few items that go together and throw them in a pot or frying pan. Try chicken, rice, and steamed carrots. Or ranch style beans, corn, hominy, garbonzo beans, (leave the juices for a stew) ground beef, tomatoes, and diced green chili. Add a bit of salt & pepper and throw some cheddar cheese on top.

Here are other simple meals: spaghetti with sauce, chicken Alfredo, chicken Caesar salad, Stone soup (throw anything you want in it), hotdogs, macaroni tuna salad, three bean salad, or try a crock pot meal!

An additional piece of advice: absolutely do not skip breakfast! Cereal, fruit, bagels, and oatmeal make quick and simple breakfasts. Or try pancakes, muffins and biscuits. If you can't make them on your own, use a mix! Skipping breakfast is hard on your metabolism. Avoid it as much as possible. If you're really in a hurry grab a granola bar or an apple, but get something in your stomach.
