Coming to college one of my biggest worries was whether or not I’d ever be able to make food other than Easy Mac. After being convinced by my mom to leave all my cooking supplies at home, I discovered we had a common room with a working oven and stove top. Soon I restocked with a few basics: skillet, spatula, mixing bowl, measuring cup, and started experimenting. If you’re ever in the mood to try something new, getting sick of Leo’s, or craving something easy but delicious this is for you. Credit to Martha Stewart and Pinterest for the first creation, but the second is from my imagination!
THE BREAKFAST BOMB
Supplies:
Eggs
Pam Spray
Bread
Bacon
Cupcake Tin
[pagebreak]
1. Begin by spraying your cupcake tin with Pam and preheating the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Cut a circle out of a slice of the bread, excluding the crust. Next cut the circle in half so you have two semi-circles and overlap them within one of the cupcake spaces. Fill up any of the remaining spaces with the leftover bread pieces/crust. Repeat this until you have finished the tray (either 6 or 12 bombs)
3. Put the bacon on a pan and cook on medium heat for four minutes, making sure to flip over halfway through cooking. The bacon will continue to cook in the oven.
4. Place the bacon on top of the bread cup and crack and egg on top.

5. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the egg whites seem to have set.
6. Serve warm and add salt and pepper for flavor if you want!

EASY BREAKFAST PASTRY
Supplies
Crescent Rolls
Seedless Jelly (strawberry, grape, orange, etc.)
Powdered sugar (2 tablespoons)
Milk (one to two teaspoons)
1. Follow the instructions on the crescent roll packaging for preheating the oven.
2. Unroll the crescents on top of a cookie sheet and apply a spoonful of jelly on each triangle, spreading it out along the dough, but avoiding the edges.
3. Roll up the crescents.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes or longer if necessary.

5. Mix the powdered sugar with milk. If the glaze is too thick for your liking add more milk, if it’s too thin add more powdered sugar. It’s up to you!
6. Dribble the glaze on top of the crescents and then sprinkle powdered sugar on top and you’re done!
