Introduction

Hi, everyone my name is  Ali Lindo, I am a college student who is just trying to eat a little better. I am a senior and over the past three years I have been living on campus without a kitchen, meaning I  either ate not so good cafeteria food or ate out. Neither would be my first choice and now that I am living off campus with my own kitchen I can make my favorite healthy recipes.  The recipes I make are easy and quick for the most part, cause I know there are ten million other things you need to get done. This blog is online cookbook for those who want some healthy food without sacrificing flavor.
