Suzanna Wojnowski Getting creative in the kitchen can be difficult, especially if you’re a college student like me. So one of the easiest ways I’ve found to get inspiration is through TikTok.
TikTok is known for many things, but my favorite feature is their vast array of food and drink ideas. Their search engine makes it so easy to type in key words in order to find what you’re looking for.
For example, if I am looking for a dinner recipe I type in something along the lines of “easy healthy dinner”. A plethora of results will pop up and I am always able to find something for me.
In order to narrow my search down I will include specific ingredients, costs, and cook times if I am looking for a particular meal. This is awesome for people with busy schedules and strict budgets.
While TikTok can have a bad rep, I think that if you use it appropriately you can actually gain a lot of knowledge from using it. There are some recipes that I actually use habitually that I found on TikTok.
If more people knew about the opportunities TikTok has for learning and inspiration it could really change the opinions people have about this app.
My favorite dish that I made from TikTok are called Zucchini Lasagna Roll-Ups, from the account @allyssainthekitchen. They are essentially thinly sliced zucchini rolled with ricotta cheese and your choice of protein which you then layer with sauce in a baking dish. If you love Italian food this is right up you’re alley- plus it’s low carb!
This is one of my fave dinner recipes, but I also have found countless of breakfast, lunch, snack, and drink ideas as well! So whatever you’re looking for, TikTok has it. So hopefully it will PYO! 🙂
