Teriyaki chicken, rice, vegetables, what more could you want? This recipe is the staple in our apartment. Super simple to make and easy to keep as leftovers! The portions are all up to debate depending on how many you would like to keep for the rest of the week. We all know we need more time in our day, so prepare a few meals with this recipe and don’t worry about cooking after a long day!
1/2 cup white rice
1 cup mixed vegetables
1 chicken breast
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
First, boil 1/2 cup of water. Once boiling, take off heat and add 1/2 cup white rice; stir occasionally. In another saucepan, pour frozen vegetables in with a few tablespoons of water to steam. Lastly, in a George Foreman or regular pan, cook up the chicken. Then cut the chicken into bite size pieces. Once all combined in a bowl or plate, pour teriyaki sauce over all contents. Then ENJOY!
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, which is what I’ve always been told. I never believed that until this year. Up until this past September, I never took my breakfast seriously. Until I started doing it, I never realized how much energy …

Who doesn’t love puppy chow? The easiness of grabbing it out of the bag and getting a mouthful of sugar, peanut butter and chocolate. There is NOTHING better! Over the years I have been trying to perfect this simple recipe with different techniques and different measurements of ingredients. I was sick of having some pieces with more of one thing, and some with less of another.
1 stick of salted butter
1 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter
1 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bag of rice chex cereal
Powdered sugar
First, melt the butter, peanut butter (line measuring up with plastic bag to make clean-up easier) and chocolate chips in a saucepan until combined. In a separate bowl, pour half of the bag of chex cereal, then pour half of mixture on top, and repeat. This way, it will be easier to stir and cover each piece of cereal with the peanut butter and chocolate mixture. Once mixed, grab a paper grocery bag and pour about 2 cups of powdered sugar to the bottom, pour half of the cereal on top, and repeat. Make sure the bag is completely closed and shake well. Add more powdered sugar until everything is evenly coated, this has to be done by eye. The end result should look like the image above. Once mixed and coated, place the puppy show in the fridge and let it cool. Enjoy!!
Although it’s an unpopular opinion, I love tuna. Ever since I was little, my dad would make us tuna salad sandwiches for lunch and I would always be the weird kid with a tuna sandwich at school instead of a PB&J. But, it’s a great …

As college students, we love a quick grab and go snack. Although these take a little time to make, they can be made in large batches and are extremely healthy compared to store-bought items. Homemade granola bars! I love to make these during the weekend and have them for my busy week. Another plus side, you can add anything you like! They are great for picky eaters.

In our apartment, we like to cook as healthy as we can. Living with one vegetarian and one vegan, it takes a little brainstorming to come up with meals we’ll all eat. One roommate said her mom makes some AMAZING stuffed peppers! We all agreed …
