Recipes for a Dorm kid without many appliances

Fuzzball_Kara · #1 Apr 27, 2009, 04:25 PM

Hey all. I was wondering if anyone had any good recipes that a dorm girl could cook with the kitchen supplies of a microwave and a fridge. I'm tired of living off of tv dinners and ramen and macaroni and was wondering if there was a good dish I could make with only a microwave and a fridge to keep things cold. Eating out if expensive and fast food is a little unhealthy.

One of my favorites:

Tex-Mex Tuna Salad

Instead of mixing tuna salad with mayo, try 1/2 salsa, and 1/2 non-fat sour cream.

Add onions, celery, black olives, cilantro and a little cumin to taste

You can also use canned chicken or turkey instead of tuna.

Delicious on crackers, or in a wrap.

Also, if you a re allowed to have one, get a small rice cooker!

For something sweet . Try my banana yammers. you make them by cutting up some bananas mix them into peanut butter. Spread on graham crackers. Wrap in foil. Freeze or chill. Then enjoy. Hope you like.

If you add a hot plate for pasta and rice I can overload you with cheap easy recipes that don't require a cheese of beef packet

Hey Kara, I never saw this thread before!

Can you get any other appliances?

You can get mini toaster ovens (they are slightly bigger than a toaster with a door on the front) that you can make some awesome meals with.
They are pretty cheap too, I would send you mine if I could, I don't use the darn thing anymore since we got a gas oven

Check out the Menu's of the fast food places again. It's the fad to eat healthy right now. Mac Donalds has salads, broiled meat, etc. Even Kentucky Fried has grilled chicken now. One of my classmates eats almost exclusively at Mac Donalds. She says it is a lot cheaper than buying groceries to fix a meal. I live alone and have a small sandwich toaster that I use a lot. I make a variety of sandwiches.. Grilled cheese at the top of the list. Use butter flavored pam spray helps the flavor. and then if I crave something sweet, spray the electric sandwich maker and put two or three tablespoons of canned pie filling on a slice of bread and fold it over, close the lid and toast it up until it's crusty.

Fuzzball, you can cook many different dishes in a microwave. I love steamed veggies and it so easy in the Mic. If you have different power levels on your Mic you can even prepare some meat to add to your veggies. Pasta sauces are also a good option.

Procure a crock pot and get your roast on. A slow cooker can do all kinds of yummy good including soups and stews.

You could even invest in a skillet, pot and a double burner hot plate. Wal Mart sells them.
