Welcome!

I have created this blog for students who are out there living on their own, away from those home-cooked ready to eat meals! I, being a student, have been on my own cooking for myself for over 3 years now. Apart from the odd trip back home, or the many "care packages" I have been cooking my own meals, no meal plan, just my local grocery store. I have developed a number of recipes and have been handed down many others that have got me through the years, and they have even been quite healthy if I do say so myself.
