As the semester grinds on, it's easy to start to go back to easy, cheap meals like Top-Ramen and day-old cold pizza. However, with a little planning, it's possible to make delicious fall meals that not only taste good, but stay within your college grocery budget! Here are some of our favorite fall recipes we have been trying!

Who doesn't love a good pasta dish? This one is great because it utilizes simple ingredients that you can use in a plethora of other dishes. Not only is it packed with some important veggies, it is easy to add any protein, like chicken or fish! Check out the full recipe here!
One Pan Roasted Vegetables and Garlic Parmesan Chicken
This is a favorite meal to make during the weeknights. It is so customizable to your liking and it is great if you are into meal-prepping.

Shrimp Tacos
Taco night does not have to be boring! Shrimp tacos can easily be a weekly staple dish. Just go to your store and buy a large bag of frozen deveined and deshelled shrimp and you are good to go! This dish is very customizable to your liking, too. Try adding tomatoes, corn, avocado, homemade slaw and more!
