Art comes in many mediums. Van Gough chose painting, Bukowski chose poetry, Bruckheimer chose film, and Taylor Swift chose to sing. Each person is an artist in his or her own way, and each is solely responsible for producing something beautiful (Teardrops on My Guitar was a stroke of genius).
The medium that I’ve chosen (at least for this blog) is my microwave. Why? Well, this blog is primarily about learning to save money while in college, and, if there is one thing that every college student has in common, it’s that they have to eat. Drive-thrus get expensive very quickly, and microwaves produce the next-fastest food I know.
So here’s the masterpiece: they’re called Personal Pizza Snacks (PPS for short), and they’re quick, tasty, and cheap. Also, pretty fun to make. Take a look with this recipe:
Ingredients (in order of appearance):
- French Bread: $1.50
- Pizza Sauce: $1.50
- Pepperoni: $3.00
- Italian Style Cheese: $2.00
- Ravenous Hunger: priceless
In total, this costs about $8.00 and provides around 30 snacks. Good luck beating that anywhere else.
Here’s step 1: Slice your French bread into pieces and place them on a regular-sized plate.
Step 2: Spread your pizza sauce in even amounts over the pieces of bread to make a small layer of festive flavor.

Step 3: Next, top the bread/sauce-combo with pepperonis. Now it almost looks like a real pizza.
Step 4: Add the last ingredient, cheese (also, love), and you’re almost ready to chow.
Step 5: Microwave your concoction for 30-60 seconds, depending on your settings.
If done right, it should yield this:
Step 6: Eat them all.
There’s no shame in pigging out on a meal you made yourself, right? It’s easy to work up an appetite. And now you can feed your hunger without starving your wallet.
