Chicken and Black Bean Wrap
Appliances Needed: Stovetop, Magic Bullet (or other blender)

Taki's Level of Difficulty for the Average College Student: stressed stressed

Black Bean Sauce (base credit goes to The Sonoma Diet cookbook)
1 can black beans (drained)
1/2 cup onion
1/4 cup green onion
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 cup water
juice of 1 lime
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1/2 cup cilantro (or 1 tablespoon dried cilantro)
1/4 tsp kosher salt

On a skillet with medium heat, cook the onions, cumin, and coriander until tender. Stir in cilantro.

Blend everything together in the magic bullet (I like to blend the non-bean items first due to not having enough space and then blending the beans, and THEN mixing the two together)

It makes a lot.

THEN you need

A few cooked chicken strips you stole.. I mean saved.. from the cafeteria (or frozen cooked chicken, just heat those up according to the label)
Tortilla
Feta cheese
Spinach or lettuce
Salsa

Spread some bean sauce on the tortilla and top it with whatever you like. The bean sauce is very versatile and it's good on *anything*

Aluminum Foil'd Tilapia
Appliances Needed: Oven

Taki's Level of Difficulty for the Average College Student: stressed

1 fillet of fish. I have Tilapia up there just because, but you can use other types of white fish. Not really for Tuna or Salmon though (haven't tested it on those)
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 slice of lemon for squirting after it's cooked.

Preheat oven to 350. Get a large pan or cookie sheet and put some aluminum foil on the bottom. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Put your seasoned fish on the aluminum and fold it over, making a pouch. If you want to be sassy, throw in some grape tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions in the pouch, too.

Cook for 10 minutes.

The Ramen Cube that Believes it's a Ramen Cup
Appliances Needed: Stove

Our first guest recipe!

Boiling Water
Ramen (with seasoning packet)
Frozen Vegetables (peas, carrots, etc)
Celery
Bok Choy
Frozen Shrimp
Anything else that sounds tasty

Pour boiling water over bowl. The hot water thaws and heats the frozen stuff and makes the noodles yummy.

You can also use the same ingredients in a pot like the directions say. But before you add the noodles to the boiling water you can add a beaten egg to the pot for extra yummyness.

Nummy Mushroom Soup
Also known as 3 Mushroom Soup in the Sonoma Diet Cookbook
Appliances Needed: Stove

Taki's Level of Difficulty for the Average College Student: heart - stressed (chopping, mainly)

Make about 4 servings

No measuring required! Seriously!
2 portabello mushroom caps, chopped
handful of regular mushrooms, chopped
handful of shiitake mushrooms, chopped
(try other kinds of mushrooms)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 sprigs of fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 cans vegetable broth/stock (or chicken stock)
olive oil

Drizzle olive oil in a pot (a good size, not too shallow, not too deep) and cook mushrooms, onion, and garlic until moisture cooks out (medium heat). It'll be about 10 minutes. Add the broth and thyme. Bring to boiling, then bring back down to medium heat. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Yes.. our recipes are college student tasted and approved!
