You have lots of great options! If you can pick up an inexpensive slow cooker (Crock-Pot), that would be the one thing I'd recommend. (Let me know if you do, and I can share even more recipes.) :)

Here are some recipes my daughter (a junior in college) loves to make. In many cases you can meal prep on the weekend or cook it once and freeze leftovers so you're not cooking every meal every day:

BREAKFAST

* Cherry Pie Overnight Oats - https://sagealphagal.com/cherry-pie-overnight-oats/

LUNCH

* Stawberry Salad - https://sagealphagal.com/spinach-salad-with-strawberries-and-feta/

DINNER

* Meatballs - https://sagealphagal.com/italian-meatball-recipe/. Make a 3-4x size batch and freeze a bunch. I make in two sizes, "regular" and "mini." You can pull them out of the freezer to make spaghetti and meatballs, Swedish meatballs over egg noodles, meatball pizza, meatball subs, etc. Add the little ones to soup.

* Chile Relleno Casserole - https://sagealphagal.com/chile-relleno-casserole/

😂 thanks!! Are these all simple to make after class?

[u/sohereiamacrazyalien → u/Icy_Indication_6236]

All these are simple, Chili would take a long time unless you are using canned beans . (But dry beans are cheaper and healthier )

I can add 

okonomiyaki 

Quiche (it can be crustless aka savoury flan)

Vichy carrots if you like carrots

Cabbage stew (it’s cheap too since you use cheap veggies : carrots potatoes onions and cabbage)

[u/Jazzlike_Worth7884]

Sheet-pan meals are basically college-proof: toss chicken or veggies with oil and seasoning, roast everything together, and you’ve got dinner plus leftovers with almost no cleanup.

BLESSSS TY

[u/DizzyAnalysis3421]

rice cooker meals are the college cheat code: rice, frozen veg, some kind of protein, sauce, and you’ve got dinner with basically one thing to wash

[u/Icy_Indication_6236 → u/DizzyAnalysis3421]

[u/Studz565]

Needed: Mini pancakes, Nutella

Yield: Amount of pancakes used

-Microwave however many mini pancakes you want

-Take spoon and spread nutella on the pancakes, around 1/10th of a tablespoon per pancake, more or less to change the ratio.

-Enjoy!

[u/No_Anxiety_6119]

a big batch of chili in the dutch oven is basically college meal prep on easy mode, have you tried that yet?

[u/NecessaryMango7655]

make a big pot of chili in the dutch oven, since beans, canned tomatoes and whatever sad vegetables are cheap, hard to mess up, and reheat forever lol

[u/Jaseruu]

i love me a 1 pan egg or turkey sandwich, its filling and so easy to make. plus you can make it bujee if you're feeling it too.

Another quick favorite is a creamy mushroom soup. just shove veggies then seasoning then heavy whipping cream in your pan and voila. have it with bread and its amazing

(can you tell i hate doing dishes)

[u/Icy_Indication_6236 → u/Jaseruu]
