[College prepares you for a lot of things - like binge drinking competitions - but one thing it does not teach you is how to cook. At least how to cook things that require more than 30 seconds in the microwave.
But cooking your own meals means healthier eating, more money in your bank account, and the gratification that comes from making something with your hands. Everyone here at CollegeCandy loves to cook, so we're going to bring you our favorite (and easy) recipes every Sunday. Because it's a lazy day and you've got nothing better to than cook, right? Right.]
Frittata’s are a personal favorite because they’re insanely fast (10 minutes tops), super-easy (if you can stir, you’re set), can take pretty much whatever you have hanging around the fridge (baking soda - not recommended) and makes it look like you have actual cooking skill. Bonus points for giving it a fancy sounding name!
I am kinda infatuated (OK, not kinda…) with this frittata because it is a totally healthy, totally acceptable way to eat pizza in the morning. And who doesn’t love pizza in the morning? These ingredients make my favorite version, but you could substitute just about any leftovers or canned goods you have. Read More »

[Every week, CC and John bring you some of the weirdest, funniest, saddest things he hears on his college campus. Join the Overheard revolution!
Leave your own overheard convos in the comments.]
“It’s late. It’s dangerously late. I’d better set my clock for omelettes.”
“Oh my God! The Japanese Dragon! It… it escaped from the Chinese New Year’s Parade!”
“When will you be there?”
“Why do you care?”
“So I can hang out with you – my friend. Because I’ve got friends. Unlike you.”
“That kitten’s got a beard. He doesn’t see anything wrong with it. He thinks it’s just dandy, that poor little guy.”
You can’t be too hung over. You need to wake up and have no motivation. When having no motivation is actively painful, then you got a problem.
The best way to experience Groundhog Day is via video – you know, you really get that one crowning moment of groundhog perfection.
