Quick and Easy for College Girl

ILoveChoo · Hermes

some of my quick and easy meals for when I am just cooking for myself are:

veggie burger/ chicken patty on bread (I dont usually buy rolls since I dont eat them fast enough), oven fries.

can of soup and a grilled cheese

spinach and mozzarella quesadilla (sautee spinach with olive oil and garlic, put in tortilla with the cheese and fry until it's browned and cheese is melted)

vegetable and cheese omlet, toast

pancakes with either berries or bananas in them.

I always think that casseroles are the way to go. You can just reheat them when you need them, freeze them when you don't. And these days, you can get smaller baking dishes to arrange them in.

My BF is the cook in our house, because I'm not very good, but on occasion I have to cook, so here's some things I can actually make that are easy:

Tacos

Chicken Faijitas (our grocery store sells them packaged so all you have to do is stir fry the mix)

Cheese Manicotti (I guy it frozen then just slap sauce and mozzerella cheese on top and bake in the oven for about 45 mins)

Any type of pasta - all you have to do is boil the noodles and add sauce

Chicken Breasts - I usually just add some marinade or Shake and Bake and toss in the oven to bake

HTH!

I always make stir fry when I have to cook. I'm the worst cook ever and this is actually hard for me because I have to make rice AND stir fry. I just put brown rice in the rice cooker and then sautee with oil broccoli, onions, snow peas, carrots, water chestnuts, peppers, mushrooms, and those little skinny shoot things that look like noodles. And I put soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar and garlic in too. I don't know if that's actually how you make stir fry, but it tastes good.

I think I would also eat a lot of soup if I lived alone.

I like to make pita pizzas.

Take pita bread (leave it whole, don't cut it)
spread a little tomato sauce on it (from a jar)
Throw a few slices of tomato on top of the sauce
put a few dollops of pesto on top of the tomato (pesto also from a jar)
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, and a sprinkling of parmesan.

Then stick it in the toaster oven for about 10 minutes. It's really tasty and so quick. If you buy the cheese already shredded, the only thing you have to cut up is the tomato.

This is really good. Sautee some roma tomatoes in olive oil, ad some garlic (the minced garlic in a glass jar is so much easier to use than fresh and tastes just as good) and italian seasoning. Add pasta, parmesan or feta, and chicken and--voila--you have a quick and easy meal!
