The Point

Hello fellow college students.

Let's face it, food from the dining hall is a mixed bag at best. Some of the food might be good, but you quickly realize that most of it was not meant to actually be digested. If you are a vegetarian, you will quickly discover, like I did, that although they have vegetarian options, there is not much variety. For me, my choices were often salad, a boca burger, or a grilled cheese (rarely, if ever, options at the same meal). So I started searching for recipes that could be made in my dorm room. Although I have moved up in the world of food and cooking (aka I actually have a kitchen now), one of my friends has asked me to share some of the recipes that I was able to create. Furthermore, I have decided to add the challenge of developing more. All of my cooking experiences with this blog will be centered around a few goals:

1. The only cooking appliances that can be used are the ones that are allowed in the dorms. This list only includes for heating things: a microwave, a hot pot, and at times an iron (yes the one you use to iron your clothes)
2. All of the recipes have to be inside a college student budget.
3. All of the recipes have a goal of limiting the number of dishes to be washed
4. A week's amount of groceries should be able to fit inside 1 or 2 grocery bags to allow for reasonable amount of storage space and walking/bus taking transporting
5. The recipes should be at least somewhat healthy and allow options for balanced meals.
6. They should be really TASTY!

Well, here goes nothing. Be ready for the first recipe sometime this weekend.
