If you are anything like me, you like to take care of yourself, which means being active and feeding yourself right. That being said, it is super important to get your daily intake of vegetables, obviously. More often than not, you need to get creative in order to do this, because you are not a rabbit who’s diet consists of chomping down on raw vegetation.

Grilled cheese is one of the most simple, heavenly meals that college kids make. There is nothing wrong with a plain, ordinary grilled cheese, but why not turn the dial to 11? Another indulgent food? Spinach-artichoke dip. It’s super easy to make, and hey, there’s vegetables in there. So it’s totally healthy/sort of balances out the rest of the sandwich, right? (Wrong, but I’ll let you have this one).
