Cooking as a student isn't always easy so I created this list of Easy College Meals to help you get started. This plant-based resource is especially useful if you want to incorporate more vegan and vegetarian foods into your lifestyle.
To celebrate, I'm sharing the best college-friendly dishes published on Grateful Grazer over the years. I used some of these meals as inspiration when I was developing recipes for my book. There are a few new creations and many are tried-and-true favorites!
Start your day off right (without spending hours in the kitchen). Here are a few of my favorite easy vegan and vegetarian breakfast recipes.
