With Thanksgiving behind us, and winter break ahead, finals are kicking in. I'm no college kid, but from what I've heard finals week isn't all that fun, and finding time to eat can even be a burden. I don't know about you, but I'm no good to anyone hungry, so I've come to the rescue with five super simple recipes that can be made right in a dorm room for all my finals cramming friends.
1. Microwave Mac and Cheese
Now I'm not talking easy mac or velveta, I'm talking good old fashion homemade mac and cheese. Don't be fooled, this recipe is so simple. If you have a mug, access to water, cheese, pasta, and a microwave you're set. Simply fill your mug with pasta and enough water to cover the noodles and microwave until the pasta is as you like. Then, simply add the cheese and microwave until cooked.
2. Mug Chocolate Chip Cookie
Who doesn't love a homemade chocolate chip cookie? No oven? No problem. Check out this super simple recipe for microwave cookies that are perfect for late night cram sessions. Check them out here!
3. Two Minute French Toast
Overslept after a late night studying? No time to hit the dining hall before class? This quick and easy french toast recipe will solve all your problems. A little bread, egg, milk, and cinnamon in a mug creates a delicious on the go breakfast. Get the full details right here.
4. Baked Potato
If you're sick of ramen and dining hall food, this baked potato might be just what you need. All you have to do is poke a few holes in the potato, then stick it in the microwave for 10 minutes on both sides. After that, it should be soft to the touch and ready to eat. Add a little cheese or sour cream to really make this potato a hit.
5. Mug Brownie
Brownies are my weakness. What better way to indulge than with a mug brownie? This may take a little bit more effort than the baked potato, but it is definitely worth it. If you're going to be studying like crazy, I absolutely recommend taking the time to make this delicious mug brownie.
