Cooking Easy Recipes

Uncategorized — By Guest on October 3, 2009 9:00 am

My first two years of college I was in heaven. I lived right on campus in the dorms and I could walk to all of my classes. I had my friends right in my hall and I finally had the freedom from my parents I had been wanting for years. One of the best things about college life was all of the dorm food. I did not have to worry about cooking, even easy recipes.  All of my food was prepared for me. It was wonderful. I had always been able to concoct easy recipes when I was at home and I had to fend for myself, but having the dining halls with the amount and assortment of food was awesome. It is no wonder most college freshman put on fifteen pounds or so. I was lucky; miraculously I did not put on any pounds at all. It was probably all the walking I had to do just to get to my classes.

I lived on campus for two years of pure bliss. When I moved off campus, however, life got hard because I had to cook for myself. My mom gave me lots of easy recipes that I could follow to make myself dinner. At first, I did not use the easy recipes. Instead, I went out to eat almost every night. Cooking, even easy recipes, seemed like so much more work, time, and effort, than I wanted to put forward. College was keeping me so busy that I did not think I had the time to whip up any food for myself.

Although going out to eat and ordering in food was always yummy and fun, eventually it began to get a little to expensive. I was not making enough at my job to be constantly ordering food and to still have enough money to do everything else I wanted to do. Eventually, I had to turn to the easy recipes I had to use.

As I sifted through the easy recipes , I found that there were quite a few in there that I liked. My mom had thought about the easy recipes she gave me before she gave them to me. I decided I would just pick one of my easy recipes, go buy the ingredients, and then see how good of a cook I could be.

I picked out a recipe for egg salad and I immediately made a list of everything I would need and I went to the store. I bought all of my necessary ingredients and then brought them home to get to work. I boiled 6 eggs for 17 minutes, let them cool, and then peeled them. After that, I cut them up into little chunks and put them in a bowl with miracle whip and mustard. I then added in relish and a little bit of onion.

After I was finished whipping up this easy recipe, I looked at it and was scared to try it. I knew if it tasted bad I would just throw all of my easy recipes out and live off of ramen noodle. I took a tentative first bite and I was elated. It was delicious! Egg salad sandwiches became a pretty standard lunch and dinner item for me from then on out.

Since I knew I could make one of my easy recipes well, I decided to try some more of them out. Eventually, I came to trust my cooking skills and I realized that as long as I followed one of my easy recipes I could cook for myself!
