Living off campus = cooking on your own = Wendy's

Hello!

I live off-campus in an apartment I share with my best friend and cooking for myself all the time is a BITCH. Last year I would end up going to Wendy's everyday, which of course is horrible. Hopefully my roommate and I will switch off cooking for each other day by day this upcoming semester so I can come home to a hot meal I don't have to make myself once in a while, but does anyone have some quick and easy meal solutions so I'm not daunted by having to cook for forty minutes and therefore go out and grab something off the value menu? Or tips. Or even sympathy. 

hey i live off campus too and have been cooking for myself for 2 years. i enjoy cooking but when im on placement im out for 12 hours a day and really dont want to have to cook when i get in. heres some things you could try-

1. pasta is really quick especially fresh pasta as it only takes about 3 mins. then you can add some passata which is just seived tomatoes(and really low in calories) to make a sauce. add some frozen vegetables and you have a meal in less than 10 mins!1

2. tortilla pizza-get a tortilla base and add some tomato puree, sprinkle of herbs, chopped vegetables and 1 slice chopped ham, then finish with cheese(low fat) and put it in the oven for about 7 mins. this is really quick to prepare and cook and it tastes amazing without the calories of a normal pizza.

3. chop some courgettes, onion, pepper and mushrooms and add some olive oil and garlic. put in the oven for 30 mins and serve with chicken. tastes fit!!..

4.jacket potato with any topping.takes a while to cook but practicaly no preparation time!

hope these help x
