There seems to be not enough time to do anything when you’re a busy student; however, the truth remains that you need a certain level of sustenance when you’re staying up for late hour study sessions. Of course, the common pitfall to satisfying a hungry stomach amidst a busy schedule is resorting to instant meals, which are often unhealthy and quite mediocre in taste.

Spare some time to make a decent and well-deserved meal for yourself! Here are some links of some websites online that offer quick, tasty and healthy recipes:

Studentrecipes.com
This website is a great resource for busy students like you. I am particularly a big fan of how they categorize their meals by main ingredient (e.g. type of meat or vegetable) and by purpose (e.g. cooking for one, for busy people, for a party, etc.). Check out their blog entry on kitchen essentials, which features a must-have kitchen appliances and supplies checklist.

Minnesota University’s Student Health Services
“Beyond Mac and Cheese” is the title of this page, and they could not have expressed it any better! Scrolling through the list made me drool (Tomato and Basil Pasta Bake!). They also have a Nutrition Information page, which gives you healthy eating tips and nutrition information for the usual snacks such as candies and fast food. After reading this, you might think twice before opening that bag of M&Ms.

BBC Good Food
What was once my reputable news source is now my source of great recipes. You can sign up for an account and start a binder, where you can collect all your favorite recipes. If you’re still not convinced, check out their food photos and if that does not get you, then I don’t know what will.

Happy cooking and eating! 🙂
