Is there anything better than being a student and able to make your own food?
No!!
But, it can be a little daunting, plus energising to think about cooking after a long day, or late evening on the lash, but don’t worry, here’s a couple of easy peasy recipes to whack out when you’re not too fussed for slogging in the kitchen.
P.s – if you’re a lazy lass like me, but not at uni, these are super useful too!
Pesto Spinach Pasta
You’ll need:
Pasta
Olive Oil
Spinach
Pine Nuts
Green Pesto
Cheese
Tomatoes
Topped Hot Dogs
Delish and super easy. I like to top our hot dogs with anything I have floating around, but a personal favourite is chorizo and bacon topped hot dogs. Here’s how:
You’ll need:
American style hot dogs, tinned, in brine
Spanish Chorizo
Onion
Bacon Lardons
Hot Dog Rolls
Chorizo Gnocchi
If you’ve never had Gnocchi, you need to give it a go. Weird looking and feel but my oh my it’s delish and speedy to cook. Once again, this is a dish you can add pretty much anything into and will work out just fine. I like to grab whatever I have left veg wise and bung it in with a meat like chorizo or bacon.
Here’s my go-to Gnocchi recipe.
You’ll need:
Packet of Gnocchi
Pepper (Any colour)
Onion
Leek
Mushroom
Tomatoes
Chorizo
Garlic (I choose the squeazy tube)
Tomato Pasta Sauce
Loaded Nachos
I frickin love Mexican. Anything with salsa and guacamole and lots of flavour and I’m on it! But sometimes, just sometimes I really can’t be asked to make fajitas, despite being bloody simple and really rather quick.
But when I’m lazy, which is most of the time, and wanting something with plenty of flavour that I can just stick in the oven, this is the meal!
Loaded nachos with mountains of cheese, salsa, meat of some sort and all the topping you can think of! Here’s my little recipe for you to try.
You’ll need:
Salted tortilla chips
Cheese
Salsa
Cooked meat – Chicken (fav), Mince, Bacon (also fav & usually occupancies chicken)
Guacamole
Sour Cream & Chive
Red Pepper
These are just a few of the easy recipes you can use at home or away at University. Cooking can be a chore, but it doesn’t have to be difficult.
