A new school year and new season means a new routine for student-athletes and their families. Even more, a new school year means millions of student-athletes and high school graduates heading off to college this fall.
In an effort to promote both good eating habits and self-sufficient offspring, the Washington Post shared their top tips for getting teens comfortable in the kitchen, and we couldn’t be more in support of this initiative. Cooking for friends and family is an incredibly easy way to show those you love that you appreciate them. It’s also a really fun thing to do with those you love, and with the crazy schedules referenced above, a much needed skill when it comes to staying healthy and fending for yourself on those days or nights no one is available to get you dinner.
My favorite recommendation is definitely the scrambled eggs:
Eggs: Scrambled, fried, hard-boiled or combined with vegetables and cheese in an omelet or a frittata, eggs are essential. They are an inexpensive, versatile protein with a long shelf life. Try this: Beat 6 eggs with 2 Tbsp. plain yogurt or light sour cream and 2 Tbsp. cottage cheese. Cook them in a small nonstick skillet over medium low heat until they are light and fluffy.
Seriously: you won’t believe how delicious that small addition of dairy and cheese will make your eggs. Definitely check out the rest of the tips and recipes through the link above; your training — and your wallet — will thank you.
