Answer
Go to Costco, buy their frozen franks in the blankets and any other appetizer you like. Don't let anyone see you take them out of the box and put them in the oven.
Cocktail size meatballs freeze well and you will find many recipes on line. The follow is a shrimp puff recipe which can be frozen.

Quick Food Recipes
Try these delicious little appetizers using frozen or canned crabmeat too! I always have a batch of these on hand in the freezer for holiday entertaining.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutesIngredients:
â¢6 slices firm white sandwich bread (I use Pepperidge Farm)
â¢1 lb. frozen, uncooked shrimp, deveined and shelled
â¢2 cloves garlic, minced
â¢1 Tbsp. butter
â¢1 Tbsp. olive oil
â¢1-1/2 cups shredded Gruyere or Havarti cheese
â¢1 tsp. lemon zest
â¢1 tsp. dried dill weed
â¢dash pepper
â¢3/4 cup mayonnaise
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Using small cookie cutter, cut out four rounds from each slice of bread. Place on cookie sheet and bake in oven for 10-15 minutes or until bread is crisp and dry, turning bread rounds over once halfway through baking time. Cool on wire rack.
Heat butter and olive oil in heavy skillet and cook garlic and shrimp just until shrimp curl and turn pink. Remove from heat and set aside for 10-15 minutes to cool slightly.
In large bowl, combine cheese, lemon zest, dill, mayonnaise, and pepper. Finely chop shrimp and add to cheese mixture.
Top bread rounds with shrimp mixture, mounding and smoothing the shrimp. Freeze in single layer on baking sheet, then store in freezer container in single layer.
When ready to eat, bake puffs, frozen, in preheated 400 degree oven for 10-13 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Serve immediately. You can also bake the puffs without freezing them, in a 400 degrees F oven for 8-9 minutes. Makes 24 appetizers

What are great, healthy foods to eat in college?
Frehyner F
I live in an apartment, in college. Obviously I don't have a ton of money to spend per week on food, but I need great suggestions on thing I can eat that are healthy for me. I don't eat junk food so all I ever eat is apples, banannas, and baby carrotts because I don't have time to make anything. what are some good foods I can make for dinner/lunch that don't cost me a fortune?
Answer
I am in the same situation. Usually I get a large back of skinless chicken breats from Walmart. It might be about 7-10 dollars, but you don't have to buy it that often. The way to cook it is simple. thaw it and put it in a frying pan with a little oil. (set the heat on Medium).
I also suggest if you need carbs to try and fill you up, then get a bag of rice. If time is a huge issue then you will have to spend the extra dollar on the instant rice. All you have to do is add some butter and salt and it can be a meal in itself! For me I went to costco and got a 20ilb bag of rice. It was like $15 dollars. it has been a good 4 months and I am still not even half way done with the bag.
If you need want other meat meals then you could get canned chili. It is cheap and very easy. You just heat it up in a pan until it boils/simmers and then you are good. Wolf Brand Chili is usually about $1.00.
Other wise you could get raman noodles and just add your vegetables to it.
Pretty much anything from walmar labeled Great Value is going to be as cheap as it comes.
Hopefully this helps.
