10 Easy Recipes to Make for First-Time Dinners

You’ve been stuck in the dorm life bubble and the cafeteria was always there for you. Now that you moved out many things will change, most importantly: who will feed you? there could be many answers to this question, but I would say YOURSELF! is the best one. 

Don’t get me wrong, before college I had never cooked, ever. I had to call my mom every time I wanted to boil an egg or make some rice because I had forgotten since the previous call. Some years later, I can assure you anyone can cook. 

You just need to lose the fear and start experimenting, getting your hands dirty is actually a good thing!

Here you have ten easy recipes that anyone can prepare with just a little love (and an oven). Lose that fear in 3,2,1…
