Just like eggs can be served any time of day, so can beans. Keep an assortment of your favorite canned beans – kidney, garbanzo, black, refried – and you’ll be able to put together a meal quickly. A few bean-based ideas:Turn a large green salad into a meal by topping with kidney beans for a protein boost.Toss together garbanzo beans, diced tomato, avocado and cucumber along with your favorite dressing for a delicious filling for whole wheat tortillas.Combine black beans with corn, diced bell peppers, cilantro and taco seasoning and serve over salad greens with a few corn chips as a garnish.Use low-sodium refried beans and grated cheese to make tacos or burritos. Add some rotisserie chicken like in these Quick Chicken Tostadas.And here are some of my other favorite go-to dishes for simple college life cooking:
Pasta: My classic stand-by. Go for whole grain pasta topped with your favorite jarred pasta sauce. Add some frozen veggies for a nutrient boost – I like broccoli. Just stir in and heat along with the sauce. Be sure to add a salad!
