Sweet Potato Chips
If you're a real person, you know you love carbs. The pinnacle of my favorite carb is potato's. Sweet potato's are actually the healthy version of our most beloved spuddy carb.
1. Buy like 4 or 5 sweet potato's, they are only like 89 cents at the store so they are super cheap and they take months and months to rot, so its okay if you don't want to eat them all the time but these chips are damn good so I think you'll want these sweet carbs all the time.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
3. Skin,peel, whatever 1 sweet potato so only the orangy pink is showing, you only need about 1 cause they make quit a few chips if they are big, if they are smaller and you are feeding more then yourself, you might want to use two sweet potato's.
4. Cut the sweet potato into quarter inch thick circles, they should look like 50 cent pieces.
5. put them on a baking sheet and pour a table spoon or more amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on them and run them in it, to make sure each slice has some oil on it.
6.Place in the oven for 30 to 50 mins
7. you have to keep checking on the every 15 min or so to flip them so they cook evenly. One side will burn if you don't flip them
8. when there is 15 min left on your clock add some salt, garlic powder or onion salt to give them some flare.
9. keep turning until they look crispy and ready for your enjoyment!!!

Baked Chicken
Chicken is awesome. It always taste good and it goes with any dip you may like such as BBQ sauce, Ranch or my personal fav Franks Red Hot Sauce which is pretty much good on anything. Anyway here is great recipe for baked chicken that will be what every girls wants hot and juicy.
1. Thaw boneless chicken,to be really healthy it should be skinless but if want the skin, whatever keep it. To keep it on the cheap, go to the store on Sunday, or when they are advertising "cheap meat". Do not look at the total price, look at what is being charged per pound. A dollar a pound is going to be the cheapest you can get and I would buy a lot of that and just freeze the rest. Its easy to buy a lot of chicken and bag it in single baggies, to thaw when you want. Anyway once you find some cheap chicken just buy a lot of it, it will last you longer than you realize
2. I would take the chicken out the night before and put from the freezer to the fridge, it will be thawed by dinner
3. Pre-heat your oven to 350 or 400 degrees if you're in a hurry
4. Rub the chicken in extra virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), don't poor it on, just lightly rub it, you only need about a tablespoon or so.
5. This should take about 40 min to an hour to cook, but it depends on the size and thickness of the meat.
6.Check every 15 min or so and drain whatever juices have drained into the bottom of your pan. This will keep the chicken moist on the inside
7. When there is about 15 min left, add some spices or marinade to add flavor to your chicken. Spices are the healthier option but marinade is delicious soooooo I'm not gunna judge.
8. Cut a slice in the middle of your chicken and if there is no pink and its looks juicy and delicious walah your dinner is served.

Introduction
Many years ago, as a freshman at Michigan State University, I loathed the cafeteria, "cafe" we liked to call it. The food was dry, bland, old and above all unhealthy. So, I lived through an entire year on food that makes lesser men sprint for the bathroom and cry out in shock and makes girls migrate to the gym to work out the evil trans fat and carbs they just consumed, to keep that ever so flat stomach that is rewarded with free cover and beer.
Once I was freed from the torment of the "cafe", I was so excited to start cooking for my room mates all the delicious food my mother had always cooked for me. Chicken Alfredo, Lasagna, Grilled Fish with Lime, delicious sweet potato fries, and above all fresh vegetables. About a month after lavish dinners for four, my fiances dipped to the saddest level of broke. I realized that eating well comes at a price, and the ingredients I so love to ad, also come at a cost.
Of course being so obsessed with food, I found my way around certain ingredients, making "cheap" changes when I could to make my stomach and bank account full
My blog will give great recipes for students who like to eat well, healthy and on the cheap
