Eating like a med student

Yesterday was recycling day, the day when everyone in the apartment complex sticks their little blue bins out to be collected.  As I walked down the hallway, I was saddened by the large number of empty microwave dinner boxes piled outside each door.  I looked at mine and saw an egg carton, empty spice bottles, and a styrofoam box that held mushrooms.  Let me shout it from the rooftops:

You don't have to eat those microwave dinners for four years!  The key is to make a big batch of something and be okay with leftovers.  This cuts down on cooking time - I only make two or three meals per week.  Here's a sampling of what I made this month:

breakfast every morning: yogurt, homemade granola, fruit

quiche with mushrooms and shallots in lieu of bacon

lunch and dinner for a week straight: Kitchen Sink Chili

Tortilla Española
