Are you tired of ordering takeout or spending money eating out when you don't know what to cook? How about when you've been using the same recipes weekly, maybe even monthly? Well, that's where this article comes in handy. Here are some new (and perhaps interesting) recipes to cook for your family, a date, dinner party, or girls night.


1. Taco Lasagna

It's time to make Taco Tuesday a little more fun. Yes, you can still eat this with guac. Spice it up! Go to The Girl Who Ate Everything for the entire recipe. Yummy!

2. Meatball Sub Soup

Cheesy madness, garlic and tasty meatballs. Has anyone tried this? I sure haven't but it sounds amazing. If interested in this recipe, Delish has it right here.

3. Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Soup

If you love putting cheese on pasta, this is even better. I,myself, am a pasta lover and definitely need to try this ASAP. If you love cheesy pasta, this Delish recipe is the one for you.

4. Grilled Veggie Pizza

Everyone loves pizza. If you can't seem to give it up if you're on a diet, I suggest you try this recipe. This goes for vegetarians also. If you're vegan and there's an ingredient you can't have, try to change it up! Click Delish to see more.

5. Stuffed Peppers With Corn, Black Beans, And Pepperjack

Good news! This recipe only takes about 20 minutes. Not only is it a good dinner recipe, but you could make it for lunch as well. Click this Southern Delish recipe if you're interested in making a quick and tasty eat.

6. Strawberry Balsamic Pasta Salad

Calling all salad lovers, this is a must try. Not only is it delicious, but it's also healthy. It makes for a great lunch or even an appetizer for a dinner party. Try out this bowl of goodness. So Delish!

7. Greek Chicken Gyros

Greek chicken, Tzatziki, and homemade Greek pita flatbread? Count me in. Who wouldn't want to eat homemade pita flatbread instead of store bought? Check it out at Cooking Classy.

8. Chicken Pot Pie Homemade "Hot Pockets"

Pot pies are quick and easy to warm-up, and so are hot pockets. BUT... Making them both into the same meal sounds fantastic. Grab the recipe from Delish and eat away!

9. Garlic-Knott Pizza Bake

Goodbye, pizza delivery boy... I have replaced you. I will no longer be spending money weekly ordering pizza. I know we'll miss each other but I think I'll try this recipe from Delish.

10. Mac And Cheese Chili

I'm a fan of both mac and cheese, and chili (green chili is a family favorite). The spicier and cheesier, the better. This could make for one Damn Delicious dinner.

11. Avocado Hummus Taquitos

Avocado and hummus sound like an interesting mash-up, but I'm so for this. Who doesn't love Avocados and hummus? Check out The Wholesome Dish for more info on this awesome dish!

12. Oven Baked Chicken Fingers With Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

Skip the chicken nuggets from McDonald's. In fact, skip all of the fast food restaurants and make these instead! Homemade honey mustard sauce sounds healthier than pre-packaged. Same with the chicken. Delish is the website to go to!


Hope these recipes will do you justice! Even all of you college kids out here, this one's for you. If there's any awesome recipes you'd like others to try, feel free to leave them in the comments!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
