As a college student, the struggle to make somewhat healthy and good-tasting meals is real when your only appliances are a fridge and a microwave. However, that doesn’t have to stop you from making fresh and homemade meals in a matter of minutes without even leaving your room! Here are 5 meals you can cook using only your dorm microwave.
1. Mac and Cheese
A personal favorite, this recipe couldn’t be easier! All you need is water, macaroni and your cheeses of choice to make a classic comfort food that will leave you feeling full after a long day of classes. Recipe Here
2. Broccoli Cheese Casserole
This recipe has the comfort food deliciousness of mac and cheese, but with an extra level of healthiness. Broccoli cheese casserole is perfect for when you’re feeling a little fancier than ramen, but still want to stay in the comforts of your own room without seeing anyone you know in the cafeteria.
