9 Classic, Microwaveable Meals That Won't Burn Your Bank Account

As a kid, having pizza rolls or a hot pocket after school was very common and a way for your mom to get you to chill out until dinner time. Then came a time when we thought we'd never see these items again or at least until we had our own kids. College came around and they made an abrupt entrance back into our lives. These are the 9 microwavable meals that will get you through the semester.

Pizza Rolls

pizza rolls

The classic microwavable meal. If you're a kid or a college student, you know this is the snack you're coming home to after class. You can have 5 or 50 and the flavors are endless.

Chicken Pot Pie

Personally my favorite. Pop this bad boy in the microwave for 5 minutes and you have yourself a flaky dish that feels like it's on fire. I've never taken 'caution hot' more seriously on a package.

Ramen Noodles

Most people make these on the stove top, but you can pop these in the microwave as well. I use a special contraption to cook mine in that I got off of eBay, but I'm sure a bowl with a lid will do just fine.

Macaroni n' Cheese

Bob Evans mac n' cheese is the best in the microwave. You won't regret that decision at 2 in the morning.

Hot Pockets

Another classic. If ham and cheese isn't your favorite, then we can't be friends. These also tend to be on fire when you bite into them so take caution. They're super easy to eat on your way to class though.

Pizza Bagel Bites

These are often forgotten or overshadowed by the pizza rolls. This was a common dish in the lunch room brought by kids whose mom's always packed their lunches for them.

Chicken Wings

One word: Tyson.

Mashed Potatoes

Bob Evans is another fan favorite here. Forget peeling potatoes, just put it in the microwave for 3 minutes.

If you're a mom, you know what I'm talking about. In my home, we have something out of a steamed bag at least 3 times out of the week. Gotta get those greens.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
