Rice

Grains of rice have fed individuals for almost over 15000 years. The consumption of this crop by humans and the vast amount it is produced in makes it a cheaper product. Consuming the grain which is considered a staple food provides us with many benefits, and is the most important grain in relation to human nutrition and caloric intake,

Although not necessarily filling you with inept joy and wonder, just look at this basic food that can either be mixed with a multitude of other meals, or eaten alone, if thats what you'd prefer.

This meal is easy to prepare, as such can be cooked in a microwave with water. It's that easy.

As a staple food, that can almost be used for most meals as a side, this is rated 2.5/5

Toast w/ Condiments

One of the easiest meals you can prepare for yourself is that of a slice of toast. It's as simple as placing bread in a toaster, waiting a minute or so then retrieving your crispy warm bundle of joy.

However the most enjoyable part of eating toast for many is the wide variation and selection available for condiments, such as cheese, butter, jam and hazelnut spread.

As this allows people to 'customise' their meal personally to their preferred tastes, this meal is versatile when feeding multiple people, and tasty for consumption.

My personal favourite is Nutella spread on the toast.

Due to the ease of making and ways to enjoy this meal, its rated 3/5 stars

Garlic Bread

Where do begin!? This beauty can range from frozen store bought garlic bread to delightful home-made creations that you'll never forget. A simple Google search will turn up a whole range of different recipes each boasting its own perks, be it health, speed or flavour. These recipes have cooking times listed they range from 8 minutes to 20+ minutes.

As a current Uni student who has no idea how cooking works, (to the point where I've burnt two minute noodles) I prefer the frozen kind. All it takes is 2-3 minutes in the microwave and BOOM you have a feed almost instantly! When writing this post I asked my friend what she thought about garlic bread and to quote her, " garlic bread is life".

My rating 3.5/5

Coco Pops

I'm almost certain that you've all heard of Kellogg's Coco Pops before. For some the mere name may bring back memories of a warm, self assured childhood where all we had to worry about was how late we could stay up without our parents getting mad. However for some of us Uni students we survive on this stuff! It's cheap, quick and easy to whip up.

                  

Of course we can't forget that once we've devoured the crunchy part of the meal we then get the joy of drinking the now chocolate milk straight from the bowl. The only downside is that it doesn't quite satisfy the monster that is hunger, rather it only tames it for a while. Regardless this for me is a personal favourite!

My rating for this gem 4.5/5.
