It’s no secret that most college students are living on a budget and can only devote so much of that budget to food. Well, listed below are some ways to make your cheap food choices more tasty.

The Green Sicilian

Ingredients:

Frozen pizza of your choice (Red Baron is my favorite)

Cilantro

Green onion

Fresh spinach

Shredded cheese

Preheat your oven like normal, and pull the pizza out of its packaging.

Then chop up however much cilantro, green onion and spinach you’d like and place it in an even layer on the pizza. Then top that with an even layer of the shredded cheese.

After that just put it into the oven and cook it as long as you normally would. This is sure to add some pizazz to your pizza.

Pho ramen

Ingredients:

Pack of Ramen noodles (flavor is up to you)

Onion (red, white or yellow)

Basil (cilantro would be good too)

Lime

Boil the water as usual, but before putting the noodles in add some chopped onion and basil and let it cook for a few minutes. Then add the noodles and proceed to cook the Ramen as normal.

After the Ramen is ready squeeze some lime juice into it as a finishing touch, and you’ll have a delicious pho-like dish (feel free to add some Sriracha for an extra kick).

Big tuna

Ingredients:

Can of tuna

Onion (red, white or yellow)

Cucumber

Mayonnaise

Banana peppers

Drain the can of tuna, add it to a bowl and then add your chopped up onion, banana peppers and cucumber and mix them in.

After that add mayonnaise (I also like to add a little mustard too) and mix it all together. Add to some toasted bread for a delicious sandwich or eat it on crackers for a light snack.

These are just a few ideas on how you can spice up your normal cuisine, and of course just about any of the ingredients (especially vegetables) can be subtracted or replaced to your liking.
