In college, its hard to
cook food that doesn't have "frozen dinner" written on its side. You also don't have a lot
of money to spend on eating out all the time, so what's one to do? Well, here are a few of my
favorite college meals - they're pretty cheap and taste better than that toxic waste
the school cafeteria serves.
Quick and Easy Pizza
| Ingredients | Directions |
|---|
- Bread (a slice for each pizza slice)
- Pasta Sauce (I prefer the chunky style with bell peppers and mushrooms)
- Cheese (Kraft singles work great)
- Pepperoni (I use unsliced because its cheaper)
|
- Spoon some pasta sauce onto the bread.
- Tear cheese single into pieces and sprinkle it onto the pasta sauce and bread.
- Slice the pepperoni into about 1/8th inch slices. Place slices on top of the cheese.
- Place the soon-to-be pizza slices on the rack in a toster oven and bake till the cheese melts and the edges of the bread are toasted.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and enjoy.

Sausage and Veggie Ramen
| Ingredients | Directions |
|---|
- Sausage (precooked is easiest, best if it matches the ramen flavor:
ex. pork w/ pork ramen)
- 1 pkg Ramen Noodle Soup (I like to get "top ramen", because it sounds high class)
- 1/2 can(15oz) VegAll (the veggie part!)
- Seasonings - salt, pepper, whatever you like! (I like a bit of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning)
|
- Prepare Ramen Noodle Soup according to directions on bag.
- Slice as much sausage as you want and stir into soup.
- Stir in the VegAll.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper, etc.
- Mircowave for 30sec to 1 min to simmer the flavors together.
(Optional) Drain and place on a plate.
- Enjoy.
