12 Best Foods To Microwave

Food: the essence of our life.

Food is a beautiful thing; and it's even more beautiful when you don’t have to work so hard to feed the moments when cravings hit you. Nothing beats a fresh home cooked meal or the convenience of fast food; but if you’re feeling a little lazy, here are some foods you can cook up in the infamous rectangular box we like to call, "the microwave."


1. TV Dinners

This famous microwaveable meal is always a good idea. With a variety of meal choices, this classic never goes out of style.


2. Soup

Ahh! Nothing beats the warmth or taste of a good soup whether you're at work, school, etc.


3. Baked Potato

Always a favorite in my household. A dab of butter and a slathering of sour cream, with some fresh chives...mmm! I'm practically drooling right now!


4. Ramen

Of course, how could ramen NOT be on the list! This is a personal favorite for those late night studies and midnight cravings.

5. Mashed Potatoes

Can't go wrong with mashed potatoes!


6. Mac n' Cheese

This golden delight hits home every time.


7. Microwaveable Sandwich

Not as good as a fresh, hot sandwich, but a substitute worth having or trying if you haven't, yet.


8. Oatmeal

Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Who says you can't enjoy breakfast all day long or as a snack?


9. Nachos

Since starting college, nachos have become one of my dearest friends. A layer of tortilla chips, shredded cheese, jalapeños, salsa, and sour cream, are my must-haves when my classes and homework have drained me of all my energy.


10. Steamed Vegetables

You're probably wondering how this one here made the list. To tell the truth, if you're like me, you get those cravings for fresh veggies from time to time. A dollop of butter and a sprinkle of salt and pepper bring these earthly delights to life. Yum yum!


11. Popcorn

Who can resist the buttery taste of hot popcorn? Not me. Popcorn and a movie anyone? 


12. Frozen Burritos

I'm not a fan of burritos. There I said it. But my personal preference should not in any way deter you from embracing these little guys. Filled with meat, beans, and cheese, burritos are packed full of delicious goodness.


I hope this list can be of some help when looking for hunger satisfaction.


Enjoy and stay safe! :)

xoxo

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
