Master of French cooking and renowned chef, Julia Child, once said, “Learn how to cook – try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless and above all have fun.”

Child never had a knack for cooking and said, “I was 32 when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate.”

College is all about staving off starvation, right? While McDonald’s probably appreciates its thriving business from the budget-bound college crowd, cooking is not hard. It may be intimidating, but as Child said, “The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude.”

Sometimes cooking is a good comparison to working out. You need to do it, but it is just so hard to get up and make yourself do it. With these tasty, quick recipes, it may light the fire under your tail to have that “what-the-hell attitude” to get up and cook.
