Ree as the author calls herself, is a “desperate housewife. I love to cook delicious, abundant, satisfying food using the simplest of ingredients.” Where have you been all my life?!?! Everything from the lasagna to the chocolate sheet cake is superb. She provides amazing pictures for each step of the process so if something does not look right you will be able to figure it out soon enough. But really, take some time to browse around the offerings she has posted for us all. In college and need help keeping variety in your diet on a short wallet, this is your answer. Get home late and still need to whip something up for yourself before bed but do not want microwave tv dishes, this is your answer.

Nothing is overly flamboyant, there is no black truffles, no fruits from Rangoon or flour made in some small province in Italy. Just stuff you can find easily, make easily, and enjoy immensely.

Tell me what your favorite recipe is. Always looking to try new ones!

If you are like me and still in school, then eating right is slightly harder for most of us because we either do not have the time to cook large meals or are restricted by a cash flow that well… might not exist. This does not mean that you cannot eat well, you just have to be more selective on what you buy. Or if you have access to a cafeteria or some sort of meal plan, pick the most nutrient dense foods you can to maximize your intake of protein/carbs/fats. Let’s take a look at some healthy choices.

Eggs are a staple of the hard eating college student. One will not do much for you so you will have to pick up a couple. At most eat 2 to 3 yolks and up to 7 whites to go with it. So lets say 3 whole eggs and four extra whites. The yolks are packed with calories and cholesterol which is why we want to limit how many we eat. To make your life easie look for hardboiled eggs so that you can separate the two parts easier. Slice them and throw them down or crumble one or two over a mixed salad with some light dressing. It makes for a good lean meal packed full of protein and calories.

Next is chicken breasts. Always opt for chicken over burgers at the cafeteria as the meat they use for the burgers is most likely anything but lean, giving you more fat than you would otherwise want.
