Hey!

I won't waste too much time trying to explain myself and this blog. Basically, I'm a broke college student who's moved out, and is sick and tired of sandwiches and ramen noodles.

The recipes I'll post on here aren't meant to be incredible. I'm by no means a spectacular cook. But I enjoy eating real food, and the truth is, you'll save money by cooking. The problem is, many young people aren't good cooks...as far as they know.

I keep the following things in mind when posting these recipes - many college students have restricted budgets, and don't always have the appliances and utensils that many recipes would require. And as great as it is to create a whole meal from scratch, cutting corners can save you time and money. It's not fair to make you choose from the two extremes - the take-out, fast-food lifestyle, and the 'Grandmother perfection' recipes that are so common on the internet.

I don't own any measuring cups. Use common sense when trying recipes out, and think, "What would I like?" Don't be afraid to wing it. Don't be afraid to taste it while you're cooking, and add new things. This isn't baking. There isn't much that can go wrong, really. If you think, "That might be gross," then don't try it.

These recipes are altered and can certainly be changed to suit your personal preferences. As a matter of fact I welcome any feedback about alterations to the recipes, and suggestions.

I'm partially doing this for myself - to encourage myself to find and try new recipes, and share the recipes that I have with other people.
