Quick and Easy College Dinners

Are you having trouble thinking of new tasty dinners on a college budget? You are not alone. I have had this problem time and time again. Here are some of my go to quick, easy, and delicious college dinners.

Pasta/Rice Sides

I eat pasta and rice sides more than I admittedly should, but it’s hard not to when there are so many different flavors and options to choose from. If you are looking for something more, you can add a can of chicken or tuna to make it more of a casserole or add in some veggies! The options are endless and inexpensive.

Crock Pot Meals

If you haven’t invested in a crock pot yet, you’re missing out. You can throw your meat, potatoes, and vegetables all together before class and when you come home at night it’s cooked and ready to go. There are hundreds of recipes on Pinterest for chicken pot pie, macaroni, chicken and much more that you can make in your crock pot.

Spaghetti

Who can say no to the classic spaghetti and meatballs? Or better yet chicken and alfredo! There are so many different kinds of spaghetti to make, you really can’t go wrong!

Breakfast for Dinner

Who said dinner had to be difficult? Scramble some eggs, make pancakes or french toast and enjoy breakfast for dinner. Many of college students skip breakfast anyway so why not re-purpose it?!

Any Salad

Salads are a go to whether it is a mixed greens salad, a pasta salad, tuna salad, or an egg salad sandwich. They are a great way to spice up your usual routine and try something new and delicious. Which one will you try first?

These are some of my favorite dinners for when I’m on the go and don’t have much time to make food. Don’t be afraid to try something new. Go with your instincts and mix it up!
