Life is hard enough being a college student. When it comes down to deciding what to eat while on a budget, it shouldn’t be that hard, especially since eating in the cafe has gotten old. Here are a few meal ideas to help make your decision much easier. Besides, Chinese food and pizza aren’t cheap.
Breakfast
French Toast
You’ll need:
· 1 egg
· Ground cinnamon
· Butter
· 2 slices of bread
· Syrup
First, crack the egg into a bowl and add cinnamon. Mix the bowl with a fork until the yoke is completely dissolved and the mixture is a light yellow color. Add the butter to the skillet, and spread it throughout. Set the burner to medium heat. Drop one slice of bread into the egg mixture, and then flip it to the other side. Only let it soak for a few seconds, and then place it onto the skillet. After about 3 minutes, check the bottom. When golden brow, flip the slice and cook it for another 3 minutes. Serve with butter or syrup. Put powered sugar or fruit over it for an extra hint of delight.
Lunch
