Let's Bring It Back!

It's been a long time since I have posted recipes and I am happy to say that I am returning and bringing College Cooking 101 back to life.

For those of you that don't know about me and my blog, my name is Alexandra Peters (please call me Alex). I am currently a college student living away from home on Long Island. Growing up I never learned how to cook nor was I really allowed in the kitchen to cook because I came from a family where my mother always did the cooking and the children did not have to help. When I went away to school I had very little knowledge in cooking. It was unfortunate to say that at the time it was possible for me to actually burn boiling water. Let's face it, college students like quick, easy, and "cheap" food or even if its just grabbing that granola bar to go just so they can get to class on time. Been there done that! That quick and cheap food always resulted in stopping at the closest fast food joint just to stay away from the unsuccessful cooking. Enough was enough after spending so much money and feeding myself very unhealthy food. But now and though the previous experiences that I have had in my learning how to cook, I have come a long way from burning that boiling water to being able to make simple and tasty meals that college students living away from home can successfully make.

I have new recipes to try and new ideas to share. Check in with me each week here on College Cooking 101 where I will be discussing great recipes that I have found and tried and even easy meals that I have created on my own without having to look at a recipe.
