Cooking as STUDENT

As a student, sometimes you need to be creative with cooking. You can only survive off of fast food for so long.

I actually love to cook, it relaxes me and I feel very accomplished after cooking a delicious. Luckily I was blessed with a roommate that has taught me a lot about fresh ingredients, PLUS I had a mother who always cooked homemade so I had some knowledge of how to put something together. 

To cook well as a student, is to use up your ingredients as best you can! 

One day, my fridge almost was empty and my wallet was not doing so well either (I'm a student!), but I felt like cooking something and was not in the food for fast food or kraft dinner. The ingredients I had on me were the following:

1. Goat Cheese

2. Hummus

3. Chicken Bacon

4. A few veggies left (onion, Tomatoes, Peppers)

5. Minute Rice

6. Pasta Sauce

Maybe some of you can look at that list and think of something yummy to cook but I couldn't, I needed some extras. I went to the store and bought Pita Bread (99 cents), Tofu (1,99 I can't really remember), frozen spinach (1.99) and I decided to make Pita Pizzas.

I used Goat Cheese instead of the traditional Mozza, and I used the pasta sauce as marinara . I was able to make 3 different types of Pita Pizzas

Boyfriend Style Pizza

Marinara spiked with Sriracha, Chicken Bacon Bits and Cheese (I stole my roomies cheese, he was not in the mood for goat cheese, or veggies, or anything healthy for that matter)

Tofu Pizza 

Goat Cheese, Spinach, Tofu, Tomatoes

Running Out Of Ingredients Pizza

Tofu, the rest of my veggies, both kinds of cheese, hummus mixed with marinara, spinach.

Anyways, my mission to cook succeeded and it was a fast and cheap meal. It was also my first time cooking tofu and only my second time eating it. I can definitely improve with that ingredient...
