Easy meals to make at university!?

Question

I really need some quick and easy meals using inexpensive ingredients to make at uni! (Needs to be nutritious too- I don't wanna get fat!)

Answer 1

Crispy nibblers: Combine 1 1/2 cups stick pretzels, 1 cup corn cereal squares, 1 cup rice cereal squares and 1 cup dry roasted peanuts in large bowl. Melt 1/2 stick of margarine in small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon onion salt, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt to melted margarine. Pour this over mixture and heat uncovered in microwave 3 to 4 minutes.



Fruit smoothie: In blender, add 1 cup (8 oz.) vanilla-flavored nonfat yogurt; a sliced banana; 1 cup fresh, frozen or canned fruit such as strawberries or peaches; and 1/4 cup orange juice. Blend until smooth.

Make that "to go"

Bagels, English muffins, waffles or rice cakes can be topped with peanut butter, jelly, melted cheese or cream cheese for a hand-held snack to munch on your way to class. Add slices of banana or tomato for extra vitamins.

Almost anything can be stuffed into a pita pocket or rolled in a tortilla. Any leftovers from dinner, cooked vegetables, even scrambled eggs can become a quick meal on the run.

Vegetable stew for crockpot or rice cooker

Chop an onion and one large carrot. Cook in a little oil in microwave or rice cooker. Add one can each of corn, chopped green chili peppers, kidney beans, black beans and garbanzo beans. Add salt and pepper and a dash of vinegar. Stew can be rolled in a tortilla or served over rice.

Recipes for the microwave

Scrambled eggs: Beat two eggs in a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of milk, and salt and pepper. Melt 2 teaspoons of margarine in a 1-quart casserole dish in microwave (30 seconds). Pour egg mixture into dish and cook uncovered 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and let stand covered for 2 minutes. Vary the dish by adding any of the following: 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/3 cup chopped and peeled tomato or onion, 1/4 finely shredded cheese, or 1/2 cup spinach.

Mini pizzas: Toast 4 English muffins, top with 1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, dash of garlic powder and mozzarella cheese. Cook uncovered 1 to 2 minutes. Optional toppings: green pepper strips, pepperoni, slices of mushroom, grated Parmesan cheese and chopped onion.

Barbecued hot dogs: Mix 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup chili sauce, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon dry prepared mustard. Put mixture in round, glass dish. Add hot dogs and coat with mixture. Cover with waxed paper and cook 5 to 6 minutes.

Pasta: Put 1 quart of hot tap water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 2-quart casserole dish. With lid on, heat 10 to 12 minutes. Add 4 oz. of pasta. Cook 6 to 8 minutes. Drain water from pasta. Add small jar of pasta sauce, stir and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese.

Hamburger stroganoff: Put 1 pound of ground beef and a large onion, peeled and chopped, into an 8-inch square, glass baking dish. Cover with waxed paper. Cook 6 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, stirring several times during cooking. Drain fat. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, dash of pepper and a can of condensed cream of chicken soup to the meat mixture. Cook uncovered 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of sour cream. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 2 minutes. Serve over cooked noodles or baked potatoes. Serves 4.
