Most students will agree that it is important to eat well but there are two major stumbling factors that may well prevent a decent diet. One is lack of money, and the second is not wanting to waste time in the kitchen. What every student needs are some quick and easy recipes:
Special Student Rice

1 cup of long grain rice
1 jar of bolognaise pasta sauce
1 small tin sweetcorn
Handful of chopped button mushrooms
Optional – chopped cooked bacon
Optional – chopped chorizo sausage
Method
Boil the rice in plenty of cold salted water .
Five minutes before the rice is cooked put all the other ingredients into a pan and mix together.
Simmer over a medium-low heat until cooked through.
Drain the rice and stir into the sauce mixture. Serve.

Put ¼ of the cheese on each half.

Yummy Ham Club Sandwich
When something more substantial than a snack is needed
Ingredients
2 slices of bread (white or brown)
1 hard-boiled egg, cut into slices
1 slice of good ham
1 tomato, sliced
Some lettuce leaves
Knob of butter – optional
Mayonnaise – optional
Method
Toast the bread lightly on both sides.
If you want to butter the toast wait until it is cool – you don’t want soggy toast – and use butter sparingly. Or, you can use mayonnaise if you prefer.
Lay the ham on one piece of toast and top with lettuce.
Put the next piece of toast on this. Put the egg slices on this piece, together with the tomato.
Finish with the 3rd piece of toast.
(you can add any salad extras you like)

Put the pasta on to cook as per packet directions in a large saucepan of salted water.
Meanwhile, in a good-size microwaveable bowl mix together well the mayonnaise, milk, garlic, herbs and a pinch of salt. Make sure it is not too thick so add more milk or mayonnaise as required.
