These sloppy joes are quick to prepare - in fact, you can even make the meat mixture in advance. Just warm in a skillet when you're ready to serve. I like to serve these sloppy joes on potato rolls.

With just four ingredients, this recipe couldn't be easier to make. It's a terrific way to use leftover rotisserie chicken. Try these quesadillas with a pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.

If your study group likes chili dogs, this hot dog chili is the recipe to make for them. It tastes like a chili dog, but you can make it in advance, and you don't need a bun to enjoy it. I recommend uncured hot dogs for this hot dog chili recipe.

Eggs make a healthy, satisfying meal you can eat any time of the day. And it only takes a few minutes to make scrambled eggs. Rich in protein, vitamin A, vitamin D and B vitamins, eggs are healthy, too, especially if you buy omega-3 eggs, where the chickens have been fed a diet that is rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Hummus Recipe

You don't need to go to a Middle Eastern restaurant to enjoy great hummus. This recipe is authentic and can be prepared in minutes in the food processor. Don't have tahini on hand? Substitute peanut butter. Serve with raw vegetables and pita bread.
