Introduction

Welcome to college! Here’s four years of freedom, fun, education, and a boatload of new responsibility. As you take on this new chapter of your life, I’m sure you’re both excited and overwhelmed by the numerous changes coming your way. With all of the good that comes with independence, so does an abundance of responsibility. All of a sudden, no one is doing the laundry, vacuuming the carpet, or putting dinner on the table. Maybe I can help you out with that last one. Hi. I’m Lauren White. As I sit here writing this, I’m 22 years old graduating from Indiana University in exactly one month. As someone who loves to cook and bake, I still struggled consistently providing meals for myself during the school year. Cooking for one person without letting the leftover ingredients from a single recipe go bad in the fridge or racking up a major tab on ready-made meals at the store can be tough. I wanted to start this blog as a hub for college students getting into the world of cooking who need some tips and recipes.
