5 Easy Winter Recipes That Even You Can Make!

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

It may not feel like winter here in Santa Barbara, but that doesn’t mean a hot meal doesn’t sound good at the end of a long day. From one-pot cheesy dinners to easy breakfasts for those mornings when you actually have time to eat, this list will help you navigate the (sometimes) scary world of college cooking. For even easier meals, use shredded rotisserie chicken instead of cooking it yourself and opt for frozen or canned veggies instead of raw. Bon appetit

1. Creamy Stovetop Mac and Cheese with Bacon

For girls’ night when you just need to carb out.

2. Ramen Noodle Chicken Pad Thai

Because what could be easier than instant ramen noodles?

3. One Pot Chicken Taco Rice

It’s like eating Chipotle – but with leftovers!

4. Banana Bread Oatmeal

For those rainy Sunday mornings in bed.

5. Easy Cheesy Breakfast Casserole 

Perfect for impressing your girlfriends at brunch… or that guy that slept over ;)
