I'm a lazy college student and I rarely cook haha. Obviously this is something I need to start doing again! I like simple things, I usually have a low-carb wrap for lunch, eggs for breakfast, etc. I don't have the time or patience to make gourmet meals everyday haha. I'd love to hear what some of your guises favorite recipes are, or any recipe websites you swear by!

Bump
Making basics like a pot of black beans is cheap and filling.
Fish fillets cook quickly even pulled straight out of the freezer, and taste good even for breakfast.
Smoothies made with protein powder.
What kitchen tools do you use? A food processor, high powered blender?

Mmm beans is a good idea! I have a blender, I hardly use it though.

Ugh just made the most amazing shake. 1 cup almond milk, half cup mixed berries (frozen, hyvee brand) half cup strawberries (frozen hyvee brand) 1 oz frozen banana, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 90 calorie fiber one chocolate fudge brownie (I was craving chocolate). I have never used almond milk, or the fiber one bar, and its absolutely delish!!!

Also the butterfly chops at hyvee, you can usually get two for $4, and then cutting them in half creates 4 different meals. That's only $1 a piece! Invest in a toaster oven. I cook everything in mine! (Haven't had a microwave for over a year) I just pop one in there for about 15 minutes and its good to go. I eat egg whites every morning (prepare the night before and leave in the egg shell until morning, then peel) do you have a stove?

That sounds perfect! Yummy! I have a stove but not a toaster oven, although if I ever find a cheap one at goodwill, I'll definitely buy one haha.
