My whole life I thought I was a weirdo. I thought I was stupid for misunderstanding something everyone else thought was “so simple.” People thought I was awkward because they didn’t understand when I tried to explain something. Then I realized that I have ADHD, this doesn’t make people’s perception of me change or change how I feel about it, but it gives me solace to know I’m not alone.

When you move out of your parent’s house, your life will most likely be completely turned upside down—stressing about budgeting for food, clothes, rent, and debt. Luckily, I am here to ease your transition, at least for food, so you don’t end up like the person in our cover photo. I will give you several recipes to make good and quick food for under $5–some for breakfast, lunch, and dinner–and critique some of the recipe’s taste. You will need access to at least a stove/microwave for these meals.
