The Low Budget of a College Student...

Right now I'm in College with one year to go to get my BA in Nursing. Although I love to learn new things about health and diseases Im not particularly happy about the malnurished wallet I have. So whats for dinner tonight?

Well I am currently waiting for the chicken to defrost once that happens:

Im going to cut a green bell pepper and a red bell pepper (couldn't afford a golden bell pepper- but if you can then buy it) you really only need to use less then half if it's just for yourself.

I also bought a cheap yellow squash and 2 zucchinis (i love zucchini) to add. Cook the chicken for just a bit in one sauce pan and the bite sized veggies in another. Once the chicken is almost done add the veggies to the chicken and

*chicken chop cubbed
*tortilla
*bell peppers
*zucchini
*yellow squash
* olive oil
*pepper & salt
*fav. seasoning (for chicken)
*add seasoning to veggies if you like more flavor
-put olive oil and seasoning (optional) on bite sized veggies in a fry pan later adding them to the chicken pan until soft. -wow thats simple! enjoy!

NUTRITIONAL FACTS OF THE MEAL:

--Bell Peppers: "They are a good source of vitamin C, thiamine, vitamin B6, beta carotene, and folic acid. Bell peppers also contain a large amount of phytochemicals that have exceptional antioxidant activity. "

--Squash: "They are low in calories and provide a decent amount of vitamin C, potassium, and carotenes." (zucchini is a summer squash)
