Classy Cooking for the College Kids!

College is tough! A lot of times, we live off of ramen noodles or, if you're my amazing roommate, stock up on the Ragu and elbow macaroni. I hope with this blog to not only cater to the typical college student by providing delicious meals that are quick, easy, and make plenty of leftovers to take to school the next day! A lot of my recipes come straight from my grandmother's family cookbook (cause everyone loves to have that comfort food!) but I have many that come from dear friends as well. I want to hear about your recipes and why they're you're favorite. Food brings people together, so let's make it something enjoyable! I'll have everything from healthy salads to delicious desserts, so take a look around as I post.

Greek Chicken Marinade

When you have time to plan out a meal for a week, it doesn't hurt to have some good marinades to soak your chicken in that way you can whip it out of your freezer and have an (almost) instant tasty meal! This is one of my favorites and it goes well with that Portuguese Rice recipe I just recently posted!!


What You'll Need
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, mashed
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. marjoram
1 small onion, chopped (to release all them yummy juices and flavor!)
1/4 cup minced parsley 
(my friend Clifton would LOVE this recipe - he is STOCKED up on the spices!)


It's EASY! Just mix it all up, put your chicken in the bag, let it marinate for as long or as little as you please (if you aren't gonna cook it that day, put it in the freezer so you can save it for a rainy day, so to speak). Then just cook it and voila! Enjoy!
