No such thing as college-friendly cooking

Every year since I moved out of dorms and got my own kitchen - so about two years total - I have started the school year off by planning to win at life, as I am sure most of us do. But one of my particular goals as a vegetarian and also an athlete is to cook every meal at home. As a vegetarian athlete, I feel I spend most of my hours counting grams of protein like Jennifer Hudson counted Weight Watchers points. It will be healthy, I tell myself. It will be cheap, I say. I can do this.

So as the first week of school passes, I spend my time in Kroger, oddly specific grocery list and compilation of recipes in hand. I debate whether I really need the $4 fresh marjoram to make "pan fried herbed tofu in a balsamic reduction"
