Cooking

*for my (insert college name) friends*

*you’re welcome*

15 DAYYYSSSSSSSSS!

In case you are not aware, I move in to start a second year of college in 15 days!!!!

I’m just a little excited :D

The only down-side about moving in, is that I won’t be able to see my friends from back home, who I was able to see this summer (but don’t worry, I’ll make them come visit…I’ll lure them in with my nerdy memes and delicious recipes).

But I’m SOO excited to move-in and dedicate this post to my friends across the country and around the world!

Now, on Friday I saw some of my friends from home and my dear-friend and awesome next-door neighbor Rachel mentioned that she is going to be doing a lot of cooking in her apartment this year and needs some easy recipes. So this post is dedicated to her and all other college cooks out there. :)

My goal for this coming year is to cook a real meal at least once a week. I got the lowest possible meal plan (10 meals a week) so I’m hoping to find some easy recipes. Here are my requirements:

-ingredients that are cheap and easy to find

-using as little cooking utensils as possible

-cheap spices

-something healthy and exciting to make

So I’ll be posting my successful recipes and little tips on how to make them during the year when the cooking adventure begins, but I wanted to list some blogs that sound very promising for finding good, easy, healthy recipes. I scoured the interweb for you, so enjoy!

Yours truly,

GWA
