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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
