12 Quick Recipes To Try When You're Busy
healthination

I love cooking, but sometimes I don't have enough time to cook a nice meal. I spend 40-50 hours a week at work and 22 hours at school along with many other activities. Many times my fiance and I resort to eating out which can get expensive. I found a few recipes that are super easy to make and they taste wonderful.

1. Crock Pot Baked Potato Soup

This is the best recipe ever! You literally just let it sit in a crock pot for seven hours and then you add some cream cheese. It is delicious and so unbelievably easy.

2. One Pot Pasta Bake

I never knew mini pepperonis were a thing, but they really are wonderful!

3. Italian Chili

This is an awesome recipe and it's healthy for you too!

4. Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork


When I heard Dr.Pepper I thought, "Eww that isn't going to taste good," but it did it was delicious.

5. Chicken Burrito Bowl

This one is great when you have a busy day!

6. Cinnamon Rolls

This one is delicious and it only takes two and a half hours in the crock pot.

7. Chicken Fajitas

I wasn't sure about chicken in a crock pot, but it was very yummy.

8. Baked Ziti

It is so delicious.

9. Beef Stroganoff

Beef stroganoff is one of my favorite meals and it is easy. It only takes about 30 minutes.

10. Garlic Parmesan Pasta

This one is my favorite pasta to make in one pot.

11. Lasagna Soup

This is so good and it is simple.

12. Queso Mac and Cheese with Bacon

I am a huge fan of macaroni and cheese and this is awesome.


I hope you enjoy all of these recipes as much as I did. They are all delicious and very simple. They are especially great for those of us that don't have a whole bunch of time to cook.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

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.
