3 Easy Rice Cake "Toast" Recipes — And Why College Students Should Ditch Bread
College students often grocery shop for one, but a lot of essentials don't come in individual, dorm-sized packages. Bread is one of them. Even the most dedicated bread-lovers will have a difficult time polishing off an entire loaf by themselves before it goes bad.
Enter rice cakes, an accessible and, more importantly, non-perishable alternative to make delicious and filling "toasts" that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or as a snack between classes. These three combos have become staples in my diet and will hopefully encourage you to give the once bland and boring snacks of your childhood another try.
