"Cooking in College" Recipe that Works Really Well!What are two words to describe the average college student? I choose
busy and broke. I can say this because I am a veteran of the college
experience and know what it means to bring my own beverage to a buffet
to cut costs, or to use a sandwich maker to make breakfast. For
some reason it is customary to be absolutely poor with no time to do
anything about it when in college. Which means students are forced to
try to purchase a meal plan or live on the poor mans diet. For more
details go to: www.cheese-cake-recipes.com If you are a college student
or the parent of a college student, I know your struggles and want to
help you to find a few easy solutions to help relieve the burden of
having no resources or insight into cooking in college.The
first solution I want to offer is for students who are not cooking in
college because they do not have a stove or microwave in their dorm
room. I was in this position in school, which forced me and my roommate
to get really creative when meal time rolled around. Remember that
sandwich maker I mentioned earlier? Well it came in so handy for us
that we ended up making meals for our friends on it. Traditionally
created to put meat and cheese inside two slices of bread, the sandwich
maker then seals the ingredients between the slices for a good-tasting
hot sandwich. We of course saw limitless possibilities the unique
product and used it to make square pancakes, fry bacon, and scramble
eggs. While it seems a little over the top, it actually worked. We were
able to eat well without needing a stove only an available plug.But
if you are one of those lucky college students who have pots, pans,
eating utensils, and living quarters with a stove, you are in luck even
if you do not know what to do with them. For more you can visit to:
www.fair-recipes.com let us say for instance your Mom gave you several
cans of vegetables and some frozen chicken? You have been eye-balling
that chicken forever knowing that you do not know how to fry it. And
the last time you tried to bake some it was still frozen in the middle.
There is an easy and very healthy solution to this problem. It is
called homemade chicken noodle soup. Sounds intimidating, huh? Well do
not let the word homemade fool you, it is very simple.To get
started you simply fill one of those large pots halfway with water then
toss in about four pieces of frozen chicken legs and thighs. Turn the
fire up to high until the water boils then turn it to the low setting
to simmer. Let the chicken simmer until you can poke a fork into easily
it then throw in the vegetables you have, corn, carrots, and green
beans are good, after draining the water out first. Season the soup
with a good amount salt, some chicken-flavored bouillon cubes if you
have them, and a little pepper for taste then throw in some egg
noodles, Ramon Noodles can work too. When you are able to pull the meat
off the bone with no trouble and the noodles are soft, you are good to
go. This recipe makes cooking in college completely simple.One
last Cooking In College recipe that works really well for either the
sandwich maker or a skillet is cheese quesadillas. They are incredible
to eat and can be made in large quantities for a cheap price. All you
need is a bag of flour tortilla shells, usually about USD 1, a bag of
shredded cheddar cheese or a Mexican cheese blend, either one usually
about USD 2-3, and 2 jalapeno peppers about USD 0.15 each. Butter
either the bottom of the sandwich maker or skillet then warm both
tortilla shells in the butter for a great flavor then set them on a
plate. Next cut up some jalapeno peppers in small bits and spread them
evenly on one shell then cover with a liberal handful of cheese. Place
the second shell on top then put in the skillet on high heat or place
in the sandwich maker, you may need the cut the shell to fit the size
of the sandwich maker. If you are using a sandwich maker, you simply
close the lid and let it heat the quesadilla up on both sides
simultaneously. If you are using a skillet, wait until the cheese melts
then carefully flip to brown the other side. Take out in about 1 minute
and you are ready to eat. Cooking in college is pretty easy, would not
you say?There is an abundance of information on ways to
successfully manage your time as a student while also cooking in
college. And if your friends are anything like mine were, once they
smell those great meals coming from your room or apartment, they will
be trying to eat at your house every day. But just politely let them
know they can do it on their own then point them to this article about
cooking in college. Trust me - you will be able to hold on to your food
easier that way.
