When you are a junior or senior in college and have been officially phased out of the dining hall, or your bank account is running low from take out and eating out, cooking becomes the biggest chore of your entire life. With all of the tests, projects, and papers that teachers "coincidentally" have due the same week, a student needs to eat! That being said, with so little time between homework and the gym and so much hunger, we college students have our favorite go to meals.
1. Mac and Cheese
When you're not quite up to making actual pasta, but still want something like it, mac and cheese is the perfect compromise.
2. Grilled Cheese
Bread: $3, Cheese: $2, warm and cheesy goodness: priceless!
3. Eggs
A rare choice of food where it takes one ingredient that can create more than one option: scrambled eggs, an omelette, eggs over easy, poached eggs, eggs benedict. If you can make more than this what are you doing reading this article?
4. Frozen foods
My personal favorite option because you can literally freeze anything and get away with it. Foods you can freeze and easily toss in the oven, microwave or stove include pizza, veggies, chicken and more pizza!
5. Pasta
When you've had enough mac and cheese and want to feel a little more advanced you may find yourself asking two questions: linguini or penne? and marinara or alfredo?
6. Chicken Parmesan
When I'm really feeling like a professional chef and it so happens that I finished all of my homework for the night I put options #4 (frozen chicken) and #5 (pasta) together. Thus, creating the best sub par dish of chicken parmesan you've ever tasted!
