Going home for Thanksgiving can be a great time–not for the all-too-real turkey dump of that loser boyfriend you somehow thought was cool–but to get some cooking supplies for your dorm room! You can steal everything from your parents and they will still be forced to love you; the beauty of being a university student is that they only see you on very few occasions so they rarely get mad (and if they do you’re gone in a few days anyhow!).
*Most of these recipes are pretty straightforward, but if you have never even been inside of a kitchen before, Google is your friend!
Enjoy!
