Cooking and Baking

So today I'd like to elaborate more on the trade idea and some cooking ideas.

#21: Cook with rice! Not only does cooking save money rather than going out to eat but your ingredients can make a pretty big difference.

Rice is not only incredibly filling but it is also amazingly cheap. Put the few bucks in your Grover that you saved buying that bag of rice that's gonna last you at least half a week for just a couple dollars. For some starter ideas, I love to eat rice with just a little butter in it...if you'd like to add a little flair, adding sugar or cinnamon may not be something you've ever heard of but rice with sugar is quite good for breakfast or just a nice sweet dessert. Also...I found this website full of thousands of recipes for using rice! Check it out!---->http://www.ricerecipes.org/

#22: Another cooking idea...wanna spruce up that mac n cheese? Add tuna! One can of tuna, drained, added to cooked macaroni is tasty and also a little bit better for you than just plain macaroni and cheese.

Another way you could make it more exciting is to cook the macaroni, put it into an oven safe container, cover it with shredded cheese and some crumbles from toast/bread (you could also add some other meat like bacon, as the picture above illustrates) and then put it into the oven for a little bit till the cheese is melted. You could also add a Cavender's or Tony's sort of spice to the top to add some pop too! I'd say 350 degrees is probably a good temp to set for the oven.

#23: Now, using your amazing cooking powers, trade some of your cooking masterpieces for some of your needs...like scantrons, printer use, internet use, laundry use, babysitting, or borrowing a book. Any other clever suggestions for things you can trade for food?

#24: I know it may sound kind of dumb and a little weird but I've actually found that using public bathrooms more often than my bathroom at home is obviously something that tends to be more convenient, especially for a college student. The other thing I've found is that it actually saves you a lot more than you'd think in toilet paper. In the past, I've found that doing this can actually save you an entire 12 pack of toilet tissue each semester when using public bathrooms more often. It also saves you on your water bill. I'll quote the wonderful retired PBS show Zoom..."Think about it."
