5 Easy Foods to Make When You’re Homesick

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emerson chapter.

As an international student, one of the biggest questions I get asked is if I miss home. And my answer to this question is always, “I miss the food.” It doesn’t matter if I’m talking about my mom’s chicken curry or my cook’s blueberry pancakes, I am constantly craving food from home. So much so that I consider taking the semester off to go back to India solely for the food. To celebrate this, here’s a list of easy food recipes that can cure even the worst homesickness.

1. Mashed Potatoes

(I usually add oregano and rosemary to them.)

2. Aloo Fry (Potato curry)

3. Chilaquiles

4. Mac and Cheese

5. Khchidi
