Living at college can mean eating a lot of bad cafeteria food and with the weather getting colder, motivating yourself to go out to get it never seems worth it. Cooking can take up a lot of time and ordering food all the time can get really expensive. So here are 10 foods you can make right in your dorm room if you have a Keurig.
1. Oatmeal
Instant oatmeal is a great option for a quick breakfast. It is done in less than two minutes and it comes in a large variety of flavors. You can get it at almost all grocery stores, as well.
2. Mashed potatoes
Instant mashed potatoes are also done in about two minutes. They come in a few flavors and all you have to do is add water. Also, they cost less than one dollar.
3. Gravy
If your mashed potatoes are too bland, you can always add some instant gravy.
4. Soup
These are my personal favorite. Making them always remind me of home, which is very comforting, especially during testing season.
5. Rice
Everyone loves rice, either as a side or even a quick meal. It tastes good with seasoning or plain, so it's a great thing to have in your dorm.
6. Ramen
Possibly the most basic college food, but still great and quick. If you fill it up with hot water from the Keurig, it only takes about one extra minute to be ready and only costs $0.39 at Target.
7. Mac and cheese
My personal favorite is Velveeta instant cups, but Kraft is also a good pick. They are the perfect size for a snack and two makes a good meal.
8. Mug cake
If you don't have a microwave you can still make a few of the mug cake mixes by adding hot water and letting it sit by the heater for a little bit.
9. Jello
You can obviously get this pre-made from the store, but you can make a bunch more in a lot more flavors for a lot less money!
10. Pudding
Again, you can get standard flavors from the store, but making it yourself tastes much better and you can get some really cool flavors if you make it yourself.
