Pancake Fritters

1 Small Jug Bisquick Shake and Pour Pancake Mix (this is the easiest pancake mix EVER!)
3 Cups Oil for frying

Put oil on medium heat. Shake up pancake batter as directed on the bottle. Have a plate with a few paper towels ready on the side to put the hot fritters on. Pour batter into ice cream scoop, then drop batter into hot oil. Let fry on both sides until golden brown, then take them out and put them on the plate. Put sugar or powdered sugar on after fritters they cool.

*Use a ketchup or mustard squirt bottle to make funnel cakes!
**You can also use this as a batter for fried oreos, twinkies, and other unhealthy snacks! YUM!

Cucumber Salad

2 Cucumbers
1/3-1/2 Onion
1/2 Tomato (optional)
1 Cup of Italian Dressing
1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
Salt and Pepper

Peel cucumbers and onion. Slice cucumbers, onion and optional tomato and put into a bowl. Add in garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Now add the desired amount of Italian dressing. Usually comes to be about one cup or so. Mix altogether and chill. Serving Size: 4
*I don't like tomatoes, that's why they're optional. They are easy to eat around, my parents always add them in!
**This goes great with pretty much anything, it's super easy and it makes me feel healthy. I like to make a big batch and eat off of it for days!

Salmon Patties

16 ounces pink salmon canned
1 egg
1/3 cup onion minced
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil for frying


Set aside 2 Tablespoons juice in mixing bowl, drain the rest of the salmon juice. Mix together salmon, egg, and onions until sticky. Stir in flour. Add baking powder to juice, then stir into salmon mixture. Form into small patties. Fry until golden brown on medium heat (about 5 minutes).
Serving Size: 4

This goes great with some mac and cheese and crescent rolls (these 2 sides are super easy to make!)

An Introduction!

Hey readers and fellow students! Just wanted to say a few things on the first post!
First, I do live in a small house, so I have my own little kitchen and stove, oven, etc.
If you live in an apartment, this blog is totally your style!
Here are a few key things you should have to cook!


-A skillet: My favorite skillet is Stainless Steel, I got in on sale from Walmart for $9.

-A Pot to boil stuff in: Mine is a hand-me-down from my mom. I acquired most of my cookware from family, so ask around! Free pots and pans are awesome!!!

-Spatula, tongs, whisk, kitchen spoon: I prefer stainless steel. It's good to have a teflon spatula too though.

-Baking pan

-Cutting Board

-Kitchen Chopping Knife

-Can Opener

Just look for deals at Wal-mart, TJ Maxx, Ross, places like that! It's dumb to buy this stuff full price when you can find them on sale. Usually kitchen utensils are fairly cheap at places like wal-mart. Don't forget a few tupper-ware pieces (I HATE Tupper-ware, but you will need it if you have left-overs.) Also, ziploc bags, tin foil, and paper plates are good too. I hate washing dishes so I use paper plates... I don't have a dishwasher. :(

Hope this helps!
