Being a college student, and living on my own, has helped me become more creative in the kitchen. Sometimes it's hard to find a balance between cooking yourself healthy meals and settling for a bowl of Ramen or Easy Mac. I thought I would share with you some easy recipes that I found on Pinterest that I really enjoy. I highly recommend you try them.

This meal consists of 9 ingredients, including:

It also still tastes great the next day if you have leftovers!
