Yesterday I woke up at 6:30am (when I went to bed at 2am) to study for a exam I had. It went surprisingly well (I was scared as hell) but when I finished it seemed like my head was going to explode. I was really tired, today it felt nice not doing anything special. Actually I should have study because I’ve another exam on Monday but I needed a break.
Now let’s get to the reason why I’m posting: at dinner I tried to use this method to cook my chicken and omg! It was so delicious I had to post about it here! I thought when I cooked chicken breasts it was never super dry but when I tasted these gosh it was so good! So please if you haven’t tried it yet please do, you won’t regret it! It was heaven in my mouth!

I’m a college student who doesn’t have a lot of money, I’ve to be careful in what to spend my money on. That includes food. When I’m buying ingredients I try to think about the number of times I can use them in different recipes. I like to eat but I’m not a huge fan of only eating processed stuff so most of my recipes are simple yet healthy (with the occasional splurge).

I really like this recipe, you can make a few variations like adding coconut milk which is amazing but also very high-caloric. This recipe is great without it so I’ll leave the choice to you!
Total Cost: Chicken (1€) + Curry (0.30€) = 1.30€
Cost per meal: 1.30/2 = 0.65€ (plus side dish)

Ingredients:
- Two chicken thighs
- 3/4 Tablespoons Curry Powder
- Garlic (and/or onion)
- Olive Oil
- Pepper and salt to taste

- Heat olive oil with chopped onion and pepper. Mine was made with garlic but I completely forgot that it might get burned, so I suggest if you’ve onion add it now, and only add the garlic when adding the chicken)

- Add the chicken thighs. Let them gain color, it’ll take about 3/4 minutes in each side. It can take longer so just see how it looks.

- Add the curry, mix it with the chicken.

- Add water and salt and let the chicken cook. I’m not going to give any measurements but for the first time let the water cover the chicken. After that when it’s almost without water, check if it’s cooked, if not put only one cup of water at a time.

When it’s done serve it with your favorite vegetables and rice!

It’s chesnut season and I just love some roasted chestnuts! Today I’m going to talk about the best afternoon snack ever (plus for heating the house during this cold weather)
Total Cost: 0.32€ for 11 chestnuts
11 chestnuts is about 250/300 calories. It’s a lot I know but there are some things that I enjoy so much and I can’t say no! Plus it’s only available this time of year so bear with me okay? You can always make less if you’re very strict about your calories. To be honest I’m not, especially when we’re talking about roasted chestnuts.
You’ll need chestnuts and salt.

Make a cut in each of the chestnuts to keep them from exploding.

Salt them. If you don’t have many chestnuts use a smaller dish so you don’t have to use so much salt. The amount of salt depends on your taste. For me I need to cover the plate and put a little bit on top of the chestnuts.

Let them cook in the oven, in max temperature.

In college I use a gas oven and need about 30/45 minutes to cook them. In my house where my oven is electrical it takes less time. It’s a little bit trial and error. Just keep checking so they don’t cook too much. This is the perfect golden cooked:
