This is a podcast that I created for this blog. I hope you all like it as much as I did. I will be talking to an old friend about cooking while in college. I also sit down with my sister and mom and talk about budget friendly recipes and some recipes that we have in the family. I hope you enjoy and take something useful from it!

This awesome recipe can be used for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This recipe does take a while to bake so plan accordingly. Breakfast casserole is great to make because you can add anything you want. I made this one simple but you can add vegetables and any cheese you want to it!
What you will need
1 package of crescent rolls
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 cup of shredded cheese
A splash of milk
1/2 package of Turkey Bacon
5 large eggs
First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Cook your turkey bacon as you normally would (I like mine crisp). In a large mixing bowl, mix your eggs,cheese, milk, and meat. In a casserole dish, spread your vegetable oil in the bottom and lay the crescent dough in the bottom and sides of the dish. Pour your mixture on the dough and cover with aluminum foil. Cook the casserole for 20 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and let the casserole cook for another 15 minutes or until cooked thoroughly.
I get tired of the same thing repeatedly but if you are living on a budget, you are probably buying a lot of the same cheap meals. I always buy pinto beans and cornbread when I am low on cash. This recipe will give your pinto beans a little kick and make the same dinner not so repetitive.
What you will need:
1 can Bush’s Pinto Beans
1/2 cup taco sauce
2 cups of cheese
A splash of milk
This is so easy and yummy to make. Now that the weather is cooling down I love to eat pinto beans and cornbread. Technically, I make Johnny Cakes because I like sweet cornbread. Just mix all your ingredients into the pan and heat up and make your cornbread as directed on the box!
These pinwheels are great for preparing the night before and taking them with you for lunch the next day. As I have said before, I love cream cheese. I love to whip these up and munch on them the next day. Again, this is a recipe that is quick and easy that you can eat on the go!
What you will need
4 slices of turkey lunch meat
1/2 package of cream cheese
3 slices of sandwich pickles (I use Claussen)
Two soft shell tortillas
Spread half of your cream cheese on one of the tortilla shells. Place your pickle slice on top of the cream cheese (you may have to use 1 and 1/2 pickles) Roll up 2 pieces of turkey lunch meat vertically and place them on top of each other beside your pickle. Roll the tortilla up tightly and cut it up into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with the other half of your ingredients. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate. The pinwheels are will usually stay fresh up to 2 days after making them.
Here is another super easy and quick breakfast recipe that I like to make before class. It takes 10 minutes tops and taste delicious. I get tired of eating cereal and pop tarts in the morning so I like to switch it up with some French Toast.
What you will need.
2 slices of bread
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon of butter
1 tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
2 tablespoons of Cinnamon
1/4 cup of milk
Bring a skillet to medium to high heat and place your butter in the pan. In a bowl, mix your eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and milk together. Place the bread in the mixture and make sure you completely soak each side. Place the bread in the skillet and cook for a minute on each side. Enjoy with your favorite syrup or jam!
