I Don't Always Cook, But When I Do, the Recipe is Easy
dumpaday.com

I'll be honest, when I moved off campus and to my own house, I could only confidently cook scrambled eggs, pasta, and any cake mix that came in a box. So I had two options. I could either learn some new recipes or be broke from going out to eat all the time. I chose to learn a few things, and here are some of my favorite easy recipes. Trust me, if I can do it, you can do it.

1. Baked Mac and Cheese

This recipe is seriously so easy and tastes way better than the boxed stuff. All you have to do is throw some pasta, cheese, and alfredo sauce in a dish and stick it in the over. Easy peasy.

2. Chicken Tenders

These are also so easy to make and a way better alternative to whatever fast food joint you live a mile away from. I like to buy pre-cut chicken when I make these, so the recipe is even easier.

3. Stir Fry

Eating stir fry is a great way to make sure you're eating vegetables without eating steamed broccoli all the time. If you don't want to make your own sauce, the stuff you buy at the store tastes just as good.

4. Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta

At first, I was skeptical about trying this one, but it is definitely a great recipe that everyone liked. I made it for a few of my friends, and was sad when we didn't have left overs.

5.White Chicken Chili


Chili is a winter time favorite of mine, and this recipe really switches it up. Plus, there's always a ton left over, so you have leftovers for easy lunches!

6. Banana Bread

I know this isn't a dinner recipe, but banana bread is good at any point during the day, and everyone should know how to make it. Sometimes, I add chocolate chips to take it to the next level!

7. Homemade Pizza

These Chef Boyardee pizza kits actually make a really good homemade pizza! Just follow the instructions on the box!

and when all else fails...

8. Breakfast for dinner

Eggs and toast are both super easy to make, and much better than eating out alternatives. Add some fruit, and you have an entire meal!

Let me know some of your favorite easy recipes!

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.
