What are some healthy meals and recipes for a college student?
Two years in college has been horrible on my body with unhealthy food choices and options. My husband and I have a kitchen in our room this year and we understand that means we have complete control over what we eat. This is what I need. -Recipes that can be frozen and reheated during the week -Spices that will make things like turkey wraps and other things much more delicious and less bland -Snack items that can replace chips and cookies etc Any help is appreciated because we want to live a long life together.

A monk once told me ''to live a long life, you must be an optimistic person''. I also heard that eating bananas reduce your stress but other than that.. Super fruits are the best.

You can make all kinds of pureed soups to freeze and eat throughout the week. Start with an aromatic base (onions, garlic, carrots, and/or celery) sauteed in oil, add some chicken stock and simmer your vegetables until easily pureed in the blender. Add a touch of cream or buttermilk at the end for the extra mile. Spices/aromatics always needed.. onions, garlic, cilantro, chili powder, onion salt, italian seasoning, various vinegars, cumin, fajita seasoning. Any kitchen pantry needs all types of canned tomatoes and sauce, chicken stock, beef stock, veg stock (if you don't make your own), flour, brown sugar, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder Your refrigerator needs milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt (I use in place of sour cream). You could make some enchiladas and freeze for reheating throughout the week. Recipes vary here and searching the net could help you. ___ If you really want to learn to cook for a lifetime and stop eating so much fast food, perhaps you should look into a book that teaches you about cooking like martha stewart's cooking school, how to cook everything, or joy of cooking).

-Whole wheat pasta with traditional sauce and meatballs, Stir-fry broccoli with chicken in black bean sauce(chinese sauce), Veggie pizza you can buy at whole foods market, -For snacks, you can try those Fiber One snack bars, or Quaker Oats snack bars. They have a lot of different flavors to choose from. -For turkey wraps i put light Caesar dressing, or honey mustard.

You should get a crock pot and learn how to cook beans, chicken, soups, stews, etc in it. Healthy and economical.
