Gone are the days when eating like a student involved consuming cereal for dinner, munching (about-to-go-stale) chip rolls or slurping up MSG-loaded 2 Minute Noodles.

Nowadays – with such a large focus on health and nutrition, young adults are more well-informed about the food choices they make. Thanks to the internet and all the great food apps that are available, resources for cooking healthy, nutrient, energy-dense food are plentiful.

We know it’s not easy cooking a balanced meal when lectures and social activities take up the bulk of your time but we’ve created a list of warming dishes that are perfect for busy students on a budget. Not only do they pack a flavour punch, but they’ll keep you full for ages! You can even double the recipes and save leftovers for the next day. Winning!

1. Beef cottage pie – this one comes with cauli-mash so perfect for Banters!

2. One pan wonder – the name says it all.

3. 30 minute vegetable chilli dish – chilli con carne – but without the meat.

4. Chicken vegetable and noodle soup – this will fix you right up!

5. Ultimate sweet potato spuds – you can substitute the sour cream with Greek yoghurt.

6. Zesty fish fingers – add a bit of chilli powder for some kick!

7. Easy beef stew – it’s the perfect Winter warmer.

8. Chickpea fritters – this could take a bit of practice to perfect but a great vegan option!

9. Chicken and sausage hotpot – ready to eat in half an hour!

10. Spiced sausage and mushroom gnocchi – this one will impress any guest you have popping in for dinner.

11. Creamy chicken and veg bake – perfect for a rainy night in.

12. Sweet potato, mushroom and onion breakfast hash – would make a perfect easy supper too!

13. Angelfish pie – who can resist a fish pie?

14. Spaghetti with chicken, mushrooms and zucchini – you should have a go-to pasta favourite in your arsenal.

15. Easy beef enchiladas – when that Mexican food craving hits.

And for a snack in-between meals try these yummy homemade veggie crisps.

Bon appetit!
