Exquisite recipes you can cook with everyday ingredients

It can’t get any better than that! You’re officially a student at the kaplan university and you’re excited to jump into this new adventure. The best part of it is that you won’t be alone in this; you will have two friends with whom you’ll be able to share the wacky experience of being a student. You know these two from kindergarten and you can’t imagine how it would be like to face the unimaginable horrific experience of listening to that professor talk for 4 hours straight and to have no one to complain afterwards.

All you three are like sisters; only two weeks have passed, but it was enough to prove the great chemistry between you. You could see yourselves living like this forever. Who would have thought that sharing an apartment could be so much fun? But…but all this is just too good to be true – at this point, something bad has to happen, right? Well, it hasn’t happened yet, but a disaster might be just around the corner. Why is that? Because it’s Freaky Friday, the day when you girls have dinner at home and prepare it yourselves. You’ve been assigned with the soup and the dessert, so forget about those special sandwiches of yours.

You’re not fond of the memories of your first cooking attempt. After you were done, the whole place looked like a battlefield. You squirted that red sauce everywhere – you almost could have called a crime scene investigator , that’s how bad it was.  

But you’re willing to give it another try; after all, cooking isn’t rocket science. It helps to know that your friends have no special requests or blacklisted ingredients. Listed below are two tips for a soup and a dessert which would definitely impress them. What’s good about them is that they don’t require ingredients which are hard to find, like quail eggs or squid ink.

  • ·                     Gazpacho with shrimp   
Now, don’t worry about this one; it’s not as bad as it sounds. You want to start with a soup, so here is an exquisite one that won’t take more than an hour to prepare it. If you’re worried about the shrimp, don’t be! You can buy those already cooked from the supermarket. Also, you can even make the soup several days in advance, if your Friday, for some reason might be too busy. To see in detail what it takes to prepare one of these, check this video out:
 

 

  • ·                     No-bake Cheesecake
And now, the dessert! Again, it’s something very simple and delicious. If you can’t find Graham cracker crumbs, you can replace those with very thin chocolate cookies which you crush. The best part of this dessert is that, as its name states, you don’t need the oven to prepare it (pheww!).
