Tired of EasyMac? Running out of things to spread Nutella on? Well have no fear, because we have the best ways to improve your day-to-day dining experience.

 

1. To give your basic ramen noodle a little gourmet flavor try adding an egg! After you’ve added the noodles to the pot, crack an egg in the middle, creating a little nest for the egg. Let it sit for however long you like (the longer, the less runny it will be) and then enjoy!

2. The fries at the cafeteria are good, but you know what’s better? Cheese fries. All you need to do is add cheese from the salad bar to your fries, maybe bacon bits too if you’re feeling adventurous, and put them in the microwave for thirty seconds and done! Dip them in ranch or ketchup, the possibilities are endless!

 

3. This one is a favorite of mine. Take two of the cookies of your choice, get a scoop of your favorite flavor of ice cream. BAM! Ice cream sandwich. Roll the ice cream in your favorite topping like sprinkles or nuts to add to the deliciousness

 

4. If you haven’t been living under a rock for the last five years, you’ve probably heard of mug cakes. However making them from scratch can be a risky game. If you’re not the best baker, fear not! Duncan Hines sells Perfect Size for 1- a box mix for everyone who wants the warm sweetness of a mug cake without all the hassle of measuring and mixing.

5. Does the broccoli they’re serving at the cafeteria make you depressed? Still want to eat healthy without punishing your tastebuds? Did you know you can steam your own broccoli in the microwave? It’s true! Check out the full recipe here and go live your healthy dream!
