The perfect cup of coffee

As a college student, we go through pot after pot after pot of coffee pulling all-nighters, cramming for finals and tests and the morning-after going out when we cannot sleep in.

That does not mean that we cannot enjoy a good cup (or cups) of coffee while cramming. The recipe is as simple and as complex as the wind though.

Fill your coffee pot as directed with water in the tank.

Place a coffee filter in the drip container and place (and this is the key) 1 tablespoon coffee beans (ground) per cup of water.

Let drip and serve when done.

Enjoy!

The delicious crescent rolls

One of the latest things I have created that I love for lunch that is fast and delicious!

Best part: it's fast to make and you can freeze the leftovers.

Ingredients:

1 can of crescent rolls

cream cheese, softened

Italian seasoning

Garlic Salt

Open can of crescent rolls and preheat oven according to the directions on can.

Unroll the crescent rolls on a cookie sheet.

Spread cream cheese over them (this may be hard, but if you let it sit for a minute, it may be easier).

Sprinkle Italian seasoning and Garlic Salt over cream cheese.

Roll the crescent rolls up with the ends underneath on a cookie sheet.

Put in oven and set timer according to the direction.

Take out when done.

Enjoy!

The leftovers can be refrigerated for up to a week. To reheat, pop in microwave for 10-30 seconds.

For the love of food

Hey there!

Many who know me know that cooking is my passion. While I may not be majoring in culinary, I love to cook.

I used to cook meals in the dorms that would even amaze my friends that I could make with a mini fridge and a microwave. Now I have my own apartment and get to cook on my own, I have more options, but have to stay on a budget that is almost non-existent.

It always amazes me that most people I meet do not know how to do more than read directions off the back of a box. They get slightly nervous when they hear me go "this may go good, let's throw this in the pot."

The result: meals that are made from staple food that amaze even those who have the same things in their pantry and a passion to teach others to cook on tiny budgets.
