Chef D’s

College Student
Cook Book

Written by Dr. Drew Appleby and the members

of his 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005
Student-Athlete Freshman Learning Communities at
Indiana University−Purdue University Indianapolis

Chef D is an acronym for Cheap, Healthy, Easy,

Fast, and Delicious. The recipes in this book were
chosen because they meet most of these criteria.
 Introduction

It has been an honor and a pleasure to teach IUPUI’s Student-Athlete Freshman Learning
Community for the past six years. I have worked hard to make it a valuable and relevant class for
my student-athletes, and they have rewarded me with enthusiasm and hard work. The purpose of
my learning community is to enable new student-athletes to succeed during their freshman year,
return to IUPUI the next year as sophomores, and continue to participate actively in their sports.
The average freshman-to-sophomore retention rate of students in this class has been ~22% higher
than the average for all IUPUI students and ~15% higher than the average for IUPUI student-
athletes who were not enrolled in this class. To add to this success, 94% of my student-athletes
who have returned to IUPUI as sophomores have continued to participate in their sports.

The idea for this cookbook occurred to me during the second meeting of my 2000
Learning Community when I asked my students what was causing them stress. When several
indicated they didn’t know what to cook for themselves because they had never lived away from
home before, I immediately knew they were in need of some cheap, healthy, easy, fast, and
delicious recipes. I gave them some of my favorite recipes that met these criteria at the beginning
of the next class. When I suggested we collaborate to create a list of such recipes we could all
share, they enthusiastically agreed, and this cookbook was born.

Sincerely,

Dr. Drew C. Appleby (aka Dr. A)

Professor of Psychology and Director of Undergraduate Studies

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Psychology Department

PS: This cookbook has attracted both local and national attention. Its recipes have been
demonstrated live on the Fox 59 Morning Show, it has been described in two articles in the
Indianapolis Star, and it was featured in the August 2005 edition of Cooking Light magazine.

 Dr. A’s Cooking Tips for Novice Cooks
• The abbreviation for tablespoon is tbsp and the abbreviation for teaspoon is tsp. Three tsp = one tbsp.

• There are many quick and delicious “box and can” recipes. My favorites are Kraft Spaghetti Dinner, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese,
Zatarain’s Jambalaya, and Hunt’s Manwich Sloppy Joe Sauce. There are also many types of inexpensive packets of ingredients for
chili, tacos, enchiladas, burritos, meatloaf, and beef stew that have easy recipes on the back.

• Buy a box of Bisquick and follow the super easy recipes for pancakes, waffles, biscuits, shortcake, etc. on the box.

• Many of the recipes in this book call for boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which usually cost about $4 a pound, but often go on
sale for half that much. I suggest you buy them individually frozen in 3- or 4-pound bags that I have seen on sale at Meijer for as
little as $1.50 a pound. This way you can just take as many as you want out of the bag, defrost them in your microwave, and you’re
ready to cook in just a few minutes.

• Always, always, always wash your hands with hot, soapy water after you have handled raw chicken, and make sure you also wash
any utensil (e.g., knife) and/or surface (e.g., cutting board) that has come into contact with the chicken.

• If you make recipes that call for browned ground beef or turkey (e.g., chili, tacos, nachos, and spaghetti sauce), buy a large quantity
when it’s on sale, brown it, drain it, divide it into individual zip lock sandwich bags, freeze it, and defrost it when you need it. This
will cut your cooking time in half for many recipes.

• Invest in a good knife, and keep it sharp. You are much more likely to cut yourself with a dull knife than a sharp one.

• Buy Romaine lettuce in packages that contain 3 or 4 heads. When you want a salad, just take out one head and chop it up.
Individual heads of Romaine last much longer than packages of already shredded lettuce and Romaine is tastier and easier to cut up
than big heads of iceberg lettuce.

• Bags of frozen chopped green peppers and onions are handy because they’re already chopped, you don’t have to have to keep fresh
peppers and onions on hand, and you can use only the amount called for by the recipe.

• If you like pepperoni, but don’t like all the fat, buy turkey pepperoni instead.

• Canned diced tomatoes are an excellent substitute for fresh tomatoes because they are canned when they are at their ripest stage.
“Fresh” tomatoes are often picked green and then ripened as they are shipped to the store.

• Aldi’s (4574 Lafayette Road) is a grocery store you should investigate. Its selection is more limited than Meijer, Marsh, or Kroger,
but for staple items (e.g., canned vegetables, beans, rice, cheese, and coffee), its prices can’t be beat.

• If you like ethnic food, visit my website (www.indyethnicfood.com) that contains a collection of over 1800 international recipes. It
also has lists of all the international and American regional markets, restaurants, and festivals in the Indianapolis area and is
connected to Map Quest so you can locate them easily.

• Frozen foods like Italian meatballs, cooked shrimp, and garlic bread are truly last-minute life savers.

• Cooking with a crock-pot is slow, but incredibly convenient because you just turn it on and forget it. Try it for recipes that cook all
day (Crock Pot Rigatoni and Crock Pot Baked Potatoes) or all night (Ready-When-You-Are Oatmeal).

• Don’t buy canned goods that are dented or bulging. Eating the contents of damaged cans can lead to food poisoning.

• Try some of the following websites that contain thousands of recipes, many of which meet Chef D’s criteria.

pork chops. This process draws moisture into the chicken and adds flavor. Unless you overcook them, these will be the best chicken
breasts you have ever grilled. Any leftovers can be used in a salad like the Chicken Caesar or the Grilled Chicken Salad in this book.)
