ing fast food everyday is neither
economical nor healthy.
There are many sources that
provide quick and easy recipes
for college students on the go
and with a tight budget. Stu
dents should check out local
food stores for a variety of
simple and delicious
recipes. Albertson’s has
new Quick Fixin’ foods
such as chicken pot
pie, beef enchiladas,
pot roast and sweet and
sour chicken as well as nu
merous side dishes including
potato salad, calzone, cheese
fingers, mash potatoes and fresh
vegetables. Quick Fixin’
entrees are available at a 4
price of two for five dol
lars and some entrees include
one side dish at no extra cost.
“All of our Quick Fixin’ foods
sell pretty well and they are set
at great prices,” said Margaret,
an Aibertson’s employee. “You
can’t beat two meals for only five
dollars.”
If Albertson’s does not have
what student chefs are looking
for, there are a number of cook
books and Websites such as
www.tvfoodnetwork.com and
www.kraftfoods.com.

tortillas.
First, place the
chicken and veg
gies on the grill and
brush the chicken with
barbecue sauce. The chicken
should be cooked for six min
utes on each side and the veg
gies should be cooked for four
minutes on each side. When
grilling is done, remove the
chicken and veggies from the
grill and slice them into strips.
Finally, place the chicken and
veggies in the tortillas, roll-up
and serve with extra barbecue
sauce. In three easy steps, stu
dent chefs can have a tasty en
tree that guests will request
time and again.
Students who love to enter
tain and cook for others will
love making this elementary
recipe.
Salsa roll-ups are simple yet
scrumptious and best of all, they
are inexpensive. Only three in
gredients are needed to make
salsa roll-ups: 1 can of diced
tomatoes and chilis, there are
many varieties so choose your
favorite, one 16 ounce contain
er of soft cream cheese and 1
package of flour tortillas. The
first step is to com
bine the tomatoes and
chilis with the cream
cheese. Mix them until they
are well combined. Second,
spread a conservative amount of
the salsa/cream cheese mixture
onto a tortilla. Lastly, roll the
tortilla into a tube and slice it
into two-inch chunks. Pierce
each piece with a toothpick to
keep the roll from unrolling.
Serve and enjoy.
When all else fails and starva
tion is consuming all thoughts,
students can turn to the mother
of cooking, Betty Crocker. Bet
ty Crocker continues to give
cooking and baking advice to
would-be chefs who don’t know
their way around a kitchen.
Betty Crocker’s 15-minute
deli pastrami rolls are sure to be
a hit and are a must-try for any
summer meal. The ingredients
needed to make pastrami rolls
include 2 cups of coleslaw
(store bought is okay to use), 1
tablespoon of horseradish, a
pinch of grated lemon peel, 1
pound of sliced turkey pastrami
(or your deli meat of choice), 2
small red peppers (sliced) and a
package of pita bread. Simply
mix the coleslaw, lemon peel
and horseradish and arrange
the meat, coleslaw mixture and
peppers onto pita bread. Fold
the pita and enjoy. This easy
summer recipe takes 15 min
utes to prepare and can easily
be doubled or tripled for room
mates or parties. These sand
wiches are also perfect to
pack for a summer picnic.
The best recipe found
in this quest for summer
cooking bliss, is the light
and wonderful Angel Berry
Summer Pudding. This
mouth-watering dessert is
loaded with flavor and color
and only has two grams of fat
per serving, which is perfect
when sticking to a summer diet.
. The ingredients needed to
make this sweet treat include 2
packages of vanilla instant pud
ding mix, 4 cups of milk, 1 tea
spoon of rum extract, 1 round
angel food cake torn into bite-
size pieces, 4 cups of sliced straw
berries, 2 cups of raspberries and
1 tub of whipped topping.
First, make the pudding mix
as directed using the milk and
rum extract. Next, layer the
pudding and fruit alternately
until there is none left over end
ing with pudding on top. Last,
cover and refrigerate until ready
to serve.
Be sure to dry the fruit thor
oughly after washing it. The wa
ter from the fruit may saturate
the angel food cake causing it to
lose its flavor and texture.
These delicious recipes are
only a few of the summer cook
ing ideas available to those in
terested in cooking for them
selves. Novices and professional
chefs alike will enjoy these
recipes as will summer guests
and party goers. So give those
Aggie Bucks a well-deserved
summer vacation and head to
the kitchen and cook up a new
adventure.

Also missing are a $30,000 ring
that actor Edward Norton gave Love
"at a time when he had only $40,000
to his name," and diamond bracelets
she received from a former
boyfriend/manager, said Lisa Shaw, a
manager working with Love during
her stay here.
Toys belonging to Love's daugh

be ripped off... and no one does any
thing about it," Shaw said, adding
that the star "feels abandoned" by
Vancouver police.
Vancouver police spokesman
Scott Driemel said, "We are in re

own cooking show.
Keith Famie, who was criticized by
fellow contestants for his sub-par rice

show for the Food Network.
The eight-day block of programs,
starting Sunday, is set to air in prime
time through June 22 and during a
weekend daytime marathon June

In between shows like "Emeril's

"It seemed pretty natural, I
guess," the West Bloomfield, Mich.,
chef said.
Network executives told the De
troit Free Press for a Monday article
that they're talking with Famie about
future projects although no firm
plans are set.
"We think he's a really talented
person. He's a cool guy," said Eileen
Opatut, the network's senior vice
president of programming and pro
duction.
