Easy College Recipes for Morning, Noon, and Night

From freshmen to seniors, most students become crunched for time in college.  Between classes, homework, work, and a social life, some things like eating good meals three times a day get forgotten.  Instead, students reach for ramen noodles and take out menus because many assume they are easier than whipping up an elaborate meal.

But cooking doesn’t have to be elaborate, and often creating a quick meal in between classes can take as little as 10 minutes.

For breakfast, instead of just forgetting about it, make a sunrise egg burrito at home.  You’ll need two large eggs, a tortilla, 1 tbsp. of salsa, 1 tbsp. of shredded cheese, and 2 tbsp. refried beans (optional).

First, scramble the eggs in a skillet.  Next, put the tortilla on a plate and place it in the microwave for 30 seconds to warm it up.  Next, spread the beans and the salsa on the tortilla.  Place the eggs on top and sprinkle the cheese over it.  Wrap the tortilla up and you’ll have breakfast prepared in about seven minutes, and it’s portable.

 

Instead of heading to the drive-thru for lunch, head back to the kitchen and make mini-pizzas.  All you’ll need are an English muffin, 1/4 cup of spaghetti or pizza sauce, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and whatever toppings you like!  Cut the muffins in half and toast them, then set them on a plate.  Next, add the sauce, the cheese, and the toppings.  Place the plate in the microwave for 30 seconds or until the cheese is melted and lunch is ready!

For dinner, making a casserole can take under 20 minutes and no special ingredients are necessary. You’ll need a box of macaroni and cheese, two chicken breasts, a cup of chopped broccoli, and a splash of milk.  Begin boiling water and cooking the macaroni noodles.  While waiting for the noodles to cook, chop up the chicken breasts into 1/2-inch pieces and begin sautéing them in a pan with a little salt and pepper.  Once the chicken is done, put the broccoli in a bowl with about a tablespoon of water and cook it in the microwave to steam it and make it soft.  Drain the macaroni noodles and put them back in their original pan.  Add the chicken and broccoli, and then add the cheese mix and a splash of milk.  Dinner is served!

Recipes like these are very easy and anyone of any cooking skill level can make them while saving time and money, allowing students to quickly return to class, finish a research paper, or have a fun night out with friends.
