Most cookbooks make it seem as though it takes a lot of time and energy to prepare a healthy meal. But cooking a good tasting meal can be easy, fast and does not even require much planning. While students don't have much time to shop for food or prepare meals, they can make good-tasting food. Students who want quick and good meals inexpensively need go no further. Most of the following recipes can be prepared in an apartment, dorm or house as long as there is some heating source.
Microwaves come in handy for re-heating food if there is one available.
Gas and electric ranges work well, too. Chico State University student Eric Skiff knows all too well the paradox that meals such as Top Ramen present. Skiff said that he eats Top Ramen several times a day but wishes he didn't have to. It's cheap and easy but at the same time I've had it with it. There is hope though.
