How I (Hope) To Eat At School

Good afternoon, everybody! I've been doing a ton of pinning recently, and my most recent obsession has been looking for recipes to make this year, since I'll have my own kitchen and no meal plan. I'm hoping for simple dishes that still taste delicious, and lots of items that I can make on Sundays and have for the week. Here are some great breakfast, lunch, and dinner items I want to try!!

BREAKFAST

I really love Greek yogurt, granola and fruit, so I hope to make lots of yogurt, smoothies, and simple breakfast muffins during the school year. These spinach quiche muffins looks so yummy and will be great to make in large quantities, so that I can grab one or two out the door on my way to class or work. I'm also loving this breakfast quesadilla idea and this zucchini bread! 

LUNCH

For lunch, lots of my inspiration has been grilled cheese, but not just your typical sandwich - there are so many ways to make your grilled cheese more exciting! Also quesadillas like these are super easy to make in no time at all, which is perfect when you just have a few minutes in between classes to grab a bite to eat. Another great option is to use chickpeas for protein instead of chicken or beef, and I have to say, I'm super interested in trying these chickpea gyros! 

DINNER

Dinner is definitely going to be the hardest meal to make! But, there are lots of delicious options I can't wait to try.. like this Firecracker Chicken! I'm such a huge fan of Chinese food, but I know that I won't be able to order take-out every single night at school, so I think this recipe will do the trick! I also am a big pasta lover and would love to make a dish like this one, or go for some yummy fish. It definitely won't be my parents' cooking, but my fingers are crossed that soon enough I'll be just as #skilled in the kitchen as them!

DESSERT+SNACKS

Everyone in my suite loves dessert, so I know that we will always have some sweets around. These homemade Snickers bars will be sure to please, and for nights when we want to pretend to be healthy, these apple nachos will do the trick. I also want to have snacks on hand for sure, to bring with me to long days of class (hello 9 AM - 4:15 PM days) and some of the recipes I want to try include these yummy almonds, chocolate covered bananas, and DIY trail mix. Major YUM.

Let's hope that I can stick to making these yummy treats for all my meals... I'm a little nervous not having a meal plan, but mostly excited to try something new! Do you have a favorite recipe that is easy to make? Comment below!
