Lunch is the meal that many people often overlook. This might be because lunch food has the stereotype of being boring and bland and most people don't have the time to make a lunch in the middle of the day.

For me, there are three components I look for in any recipe, especially a lunch recipe. First it has to be quick, second it has to be healthy, and lastly, it has to be delicious. If a recipe has these three things then it passes my recipe test.

This recipe below passes the test for me by having all three of these components. Loaded sweet potatoes are healthy, quick, and delicious. These sweet potatoes are loaded with, spinach, avocado, chickpeas, and sprinkled with feta cheese.

All of these foods are healthy and all you have to do is throw everything into the sweet potato and enjoy, it's seriously that simple and even more delicious!

Recipe:

Ingredients:

1/2 Sweet Potato

1/2 Avocado

Handful of Spinach

Sprinkle of Feta

Cilantro

Lemon/Lime

Salt/Pepper

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 400 F

2) Put the sweet potatoes on a sheet pan and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes. Then let them cool before slicing. (baking the sweet potatoes does take a little longer, I suggest prepping a few on a Sunday, so you have the week to use them)

3) Rinse and drain 1 can of chickpeas, and spread them onto a baking sheet. Season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Bake for 15 mins (I also advise doing this step in advance/you don't have to roast your chickpeas, but it adds for an extra delicious crunch)

4) Add spinach (you can sauté it if you want!), sliced avocado, crispy chickpeas, sprinkle feta cheese, garnish with cilantro, and add lemon & lime, salt & pepper all to taste!

4) Enjoy!

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
