Up to this point, I've been cooking by myself, but for today's special post, I'll share a recipe I cooked with the best chef I know: my dad.

This delicious, healthy recipe is more complicated and time consuming than anything I've posted yet, but the results are so worth it.

It's 100 percent possible to cook a gourmet meal in an apartment. Read on for a savory example!

So how did I remedy this with my own recipe for meatballs? Read on to find out.

Part 3: Coffee Cake in a Mug

I've always loved coffee cake. There's something about the sour cream and sugar combination--not to mention the crumb topping--that my tastebuds love.

Still, coffee cake requires a lot of sour cream and a decent chunk of time to make.

That's where the delicious Coffee Cake in a Mug comes in.

Part 2: Banana Bread in a Mug!

One of the toughest parts of college living is using produce before it goes bad.

I personally struggle the most with bananas, and although I love banana bread, it does take a while to bake.

Cue Banana Bread in a Mug!

Part 1: Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Mug

I was recently introduced to the glory that is cooking cookies in a mug. For those of you who don't have the time, space, or patience to make an entire batch of cookies, these are the recipes for you.

Needless to say, I found tons of awesome recipes. I'll share with you my favorites in a 3-part series on "cooking in a mug"!

Indian Jambalaya

As a college student, I understand how expensive it can be to go out to dinner. Unfortunately, I have a deep love of Indian food, which I have never attempted to make myself--until now.

With just four simple ingredients, I was able to create a delicious, inexpensive Indian-inspired meal for under $15. (I also had tons of leftovers, which is a always major plus!)

Cooking Oil: The Good, The Bad, and The Grimy

There are many different oils to use when it comes to cooking. But which is best, and why?

The three most commonly used cooking oils are vegetable oil, olive oil, and canola oil.

Each oil can play a different role in the kitchen, but which one should you regularly use?

I decided to put vegetable oil, olive oil, and canola oil to the test by comparing them based on affordability, versatility, and smoking point.
