You wake up at 7:45 a.m. for an 8:00 a.m. class, take notes
until 3:00 p.m. and study until dinner. It's 6:30 p.m. now, there's nothing to
eat, and you are meeting someone at the library at 7:30 in the evening. But
wait-- there is chicken in the refrigerator and rice
in the cupboard; add some steamed carrots and
you have an inexpensive, gourmet meal in about 30 minutes. Most cookbooks will tell you that it takes time and energy to
prepare an elegant meal. Forget it! Cooking a good tasting meal can be easy,
fast and does not even require much planning. While students do not have much
time to shop for food or prepare meals, they can make good tasting food. This blog is for the student who wants a good meal
quickly,
inexpensively, reliably and most importantly to some people, without a
mess to
clean up. Most of the following recipes can be prepared in an
apartment, dorm,
or house as long as there is some heat source (gas, wood, electricity,
propane).Microwaves also come in handy for
reheating food if there is one available.Fresh, rather than frozen,
foods always seem to taste better. For the highest nutritional value,
fresh is best.
Frozen vegetables also help in a pinch. The recipes in this blog are designed to feed between one and
four people depending on the appetite of each individual. The emphasis of each
recipe is on taste, speed and ease of preparation, cost, and lack of clean-up
responsibilities.Here you will see simple tasty
dishes that are inexpensive. The manner in which each item is prepared is only
one of many variation which are possible. Each recipe should be regarded as a
suggestion rather than a rule to prepare the meal. So, if you need some additional time to cram for your next test
but would like a decent meal, try a couple recipes here. Utensils Required
