Fruit Salad — This will keep in the fridge for a few days and is an excellent alternative for breakfast and a late-night snack.

Ingredients:

1 apple

1 banana

1 orange

small container of strawberries

Small container of blueberries

Can of dice pineapple

Almond slices (optional)

Cool Whip (guilty pleasure)

Instructions:

1. Pineapple should go in the bowl first. The juice from the can included because it keeps the other fruit from turning brown.

2. Mix the rest of the cut fruit in the bowl, but add the banana last because it can get a bit mushy.

3. If you desire, adding a handful of sliced almonds give it a little crunch and protein.

4. You can also treat yourself by adding some Cool-Whip on top.

Grilled Chicken Sandwich — A great option for students on the go. And it will make enough for multiple sandwiches.

Ingredients:

3 Chicken breasts

Head of Lettuce

1 Avocado

Sliced Provalone Cheese

Whole Wheat Bread

Spicy Mustard

Pepper

1 Lemon

Instructions:

1. Take the chicken breasts and coat them in balsamic vinegar and season with lemon and pepper.

2. Put the chicken on the grill (a George Forman is very useful in this case) until cooked all the way through.

3. When chicken is done, season again if desired, and cut breasts in half to fit on the sandwich. By doing this, you will have cooked enough for six sandwiches.

4. Assemble the sandwich: bread, bit of mustard, lettuce, cheese, avocado slices and chicken.

HINT: If on a George Forman grill... this makes a great panini.

Not-So-Healthy, But Oh-So-Yummy Apple Pie — Like granny said, an apple a day keeps the doctor away... right?

Ingredients:

6 apples (cored, sliced, peeled)

bit of cinnamon

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup water

3 tbl. flour

1 stick of butter

Pillsbury pie crusts (one for top, one for bottom)

Almonds (optional)

Instructions:

1. Peel, core, and cut the apples. Apples should be thinly sliced and placed in the pie pan.

2. Toss the apples with a bit of cinnamon, just to your preference.

3. In a pan on the stove on medium heat, melt the butter. Once the butter is melted add the flour and stir to a paste.

4. Add the sugars and the water and bring the mixture to a boil.

5. Once the mixture is boiled, SLOWLY pour into the pieand fold in with apples. If you do this too faste it will just run off the top and get everywhere.

6. Add the second crust to top the pie and set oven to 425 degrees. Cook for 15 minutes at 425 and then another 35-45 at 325 degrees.

7. Remove and allow to cool.

OPTIONAL CRUST: Instead of covering with second crust. Break up crust for the top and spread pieces across pie top. Finally, add a couple handfuls of Almonds to top the pie
