school bags tenders image
Mike L
It's my second semester of high school, and my free lunch program has expired for some odd reason. So instead of starving myself every morning and every lunch, i'm looking to actually try eating before school and during, instead of buying an expensive breakfast and lunch. Basically, the main questions are:
1) What's something good I can eat in the morning to prepare myself for school? Please, no cereal and milk suggestions, i'm lactose.
2) What's a good ideal lunch that I could bring? Preferably something that is easy to make, and convenient to carry.
Answer
1)
-Instant oatmeal - It should keep you full and comes in a variety of flavors if you don't have time to add fruit, syrup, or other things to a plan packet of instant. (2 minutes to make)
-Frozen breakfast foods - Quick and easy options are toaster waffles, pancakes, french toast (sticks or actual slices), muffins, toaster strudels, breakfast meals (like Jimmy Dean), hot pockets, etc. (2 to 5 minutes)
-Toast - You can toast bagels, English muffins, bread, biscuits, buns, etc. and add whatever! Peanut butter, butter, cream cheese, jam/jelly, Nutella, Fluff, or even yogurt and fruit.
-Yogurt - They come individual or buy a bigger container of any flavor you like. Add granola, fruit, etc. to make it more filling or eat it with something like toast or a piece of fruit.
-Eggs - They don't take too long to either fry or scramble on the stove, or even microwave them if you're brave. (People do it, but I'm skeptical...)
-Miscellaneous items - Carnation instant breakfast (if you're a light eater), Pop Tarts, granola bars, dry cereal in a bag, smoothies, muffins, donuts, scones, etc.
2)
-Sandwiches/Wraps/Pitas/Bagels/Etc. - The classics like ham and cheese, turkey and cheese, bologna and cheese, salami and cheese, cheese sandwich, peanut butter and jelly, cream cheese and jelly, tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad on any type of bread you want. Just whip them up before you go, slap it on your bread choice, and put it in a container to prevent any smashing, or a plastic zipper bag if you don't mind.
-Salads - They might not be the most convenient to carry if you don't have room for a container, but they're quick and easy, you can make them large or small, and add whatever you like to them.
-Left overs - Slices of pizza, chicken tenders, restaurant take outs, etc. that don't exactly need to be heated up are great.
-Miscellaneous - crackers and cheese, soup in a thermos, chips and dip, etc.
You can choose any of those items, grab a drink, and maybe something else like a snack or dessert to go along with it. I'd say they're pretty sustainable lunches, especially if you're a hungry highschooler like most of us are. :)

Rollie Tro
I need some simple recipes for homecooking thing at school, i don't really need the ingredients or how to make them just an idea or a name would be fine.
Answer
Favorite E-Z recipes you might want to try.
Good Luck & enjoy.
COLA CHICKEN
(And more variations of recipe)
(My personal favoritesâ¦.using this recipe
are the âwings & ribsâ¦.ummm good!)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)
Put chicken in a non-stick pan.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!
You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot sauce....presto "Hot Wings"!
I have used Ribs, just as good.
I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally
as good...served over rice.
I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small jar of Salsa (any variety).
I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).
You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be messed up....wouldn't you??
Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe
using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my
husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed Salsa & Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out the catsup) & Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might be a little sweeter than some of you like.
I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for "HOT") Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).
Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.
Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the
catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!
Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that
great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.
Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see
myself making this again.
Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as
good over noodles.
Gonna try some butterfly cut pork chopesâ¦..or boneless chopsâ¦or pork steaksâ¦â¦should be good!
Try little cocktail wieners/sausagesâ¦for appetizers.
