Yay leftovers! These can all be found on Pinterest, just thought I would put the ideas out there for y'all.

1. Parmesan Pork Chops

This delicious recipe is just panko breadcrumbs and parmesan coating about ½ inch thick pork chops. When I made this recipe for someone, they cleared their plate quick! I paired it with parmesan baby red potatoes and green beans seasoned with butter and spices.

2. King Ranch Casserole

My mom made this quite a bit growing up and it's yummy! Plus, it's super easy and you just put it in the oven, let it cool, and consume. Cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, shredded chicken, corn tortillas, lots of cheese, and some Rotel on top.

3. Tator Tot Casserole

Another favorite from my childhood, just put ground beef on the bottom and cover it with cream of mushroom mixture, cheese, and tater tots. I personally always pair it with a salad since it isn't the healthiest casserole.

4. Chicken Parmesan Casserole

One word: delicious. You've seen multiple casseroles on here, and that's because they are so easy to make that you can get other stuff done while you're cooking dinner. All you need is either some pre-breaded chicken or chicken, bread crumbs, spaghetti sauce, and mozzarella cheese.

5. Beef Burrito Casserole

This recipe just requires ground taco meat, big flour tortillas, chili without beans and again, lots of cheese. Occasionally, beans are included in the burritos as well and that just makes them even better. I always make sure to have guacamole to go with this recipe and some Spanish-style rice.

6. Chicken Enchilada Soup

I usually just buy some type of soup kit and go from there. This is another easy one because it can be made within 10 minutes. Pair with avocado and tortilla strips for a yummy comfort soup.

7. Chili with a kick

My mom has always made the best chili, and what's even better is that it can be made in the crockpot with almost little to no thought. Just purchase a 2-Alarm Chili kit from your local grocery store and follow the directions. To add spice my mom cut off the top of one or two jalapenos and puts them in there until she served the food. Pair with rice and guacamole or maybe make a Frito pie. Either way, I promise it will be delicious.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
