Food for Thought:  Easy Back-to-College Meals

It’s that time again! Time for the college students in your life to settle in for the semester and really hit the books. However, we don’t want food to take a back seat during this busy time. You need your student to keep him/herself nourished and full of energy to make it through those classes, study sessions, and that part-time job, too. These ideas will help you through the semester without coming out the other side feeling like a casualty!

Bellisari’s really does live up to its motto when we say gourmet convenience. Our spreads and sauces turn ordinary foods into delicious dishes in no time flat.

Visit https://bellisaris.com/collections/gifts for ideas and gifts to make up the perfect “move-in” care package for the new apartment or dorm room. A few jars of spreads and sauces and a few other ingredients will help set them up for a successful semester.

For example: Craving Italian? Our Lasagna Dip (https://bellisaris.com/pages/lasagna-dip) literally has 3 ingredients! Meat, cheese, and sauce make up what we’re calling a dip, but there have been plenty of times at my house when I make a batch of this, put out some tortilla chips or french bread, add a salad, and dinner is served! 

Everyone loves chicken nuggets, right? Of course they do, and with an easy recipe like our Pretzel Chicken Bites (https://bellisaris.com/pages/pretzel-chicken-bites), your college student can enjoy these anytime. Not only are these healthier than fast food nuggets, but they’re a lot easier on the wallet too.

Finally, what college student do you know who doesn’t like pizza? Check out the ideas on the web site for flatbreads made with Bellisari’s. (https://bellisaris.com/pages/flatbread-recipes)

I know it seems easier to just stop and grab some fast food, but taking a few minutes to prepare a homemade meal can be both nutritious and therapeutic. Take the time to take care of yourself this semester! Happy back to college from all of us at Bellisari’s!
