College Student-friendly Recipes??

it depends on what you like to eat.

now when i used to live alone, i made a ton of food at once, and pretty much eat the same thing for 3-4 days in a row. making individual meals is a great way to get tired of cooking.

im out of school now but i still only cook for myself. when i need something fast and cheep and just simple, i buy the smart ones/healthy choice meals. they dont take long, no dishes, and you dont have to worry about cooking too much.

(and people will tell you to only eat fresh- if that works for you- fine. but i know when i was in college i did not want to deal with the prep time it took to make fresh/clean foods)

One of my favorite cheap-easy meals is a chicken-salsa dish in the crockpot. I usually put a couple chicken breasts, a few cups of salsa, a can of corn and black beans (drained and rinsed). Let that cook on low all day and then mix it around to shred up the chicken. Then I like to mix a little cream cheese or sour cream in and stir. It is great on its own or as chicken taco filling or a salad topping. You could easily freeze some for later too. Good luck!

I can't make meals for one - but making for 2 is easy. Most recipes are for 4 people, so half them and then save the other half of the meal for another day (put it in the freezer if you want)
