Cooking In At College

Some grocery stores sell meat/chicken already cut up for stir fry, so you might check out a couple near you for that. Ditto the tortillas(flour type). A couple of flour tortillas, a can of Ranch Beans, some salsa and some grated cheese makes a quick(and cheap) lunch or dinner. You could serve with canned corn, or fresh carrots and ranch dressing. Whole foods has the best whole wheat flour tortillas I have found, but other stores also carry whole wheat tortillas. You need to keep them in the fridge.

Eggs are an inexpensive protein source. If you can try to get free range, organic it is kinder to the chickens and actually tastes better. Try an omelet with two eggs, salt and pepper, with some grated asiago cheese and some avocado slices in the middle. Serve with a salad or some fresh fruit. Yum!

This reminded me of a stovetop frittata I made while ago. It's a one pan meal and easy for a beginner cook. Serve it with a side salad and you'll be sure to impress your friends - feel free to use pre-sliced mushrooms and packaged shredded cheese if you need a time saver. I would recommend shredding the cheese yourself, but it's not worth buying a grater.
