9 Cheap And Easy College Kitchen Recipes
John Reggio

Living in a college apartment can feel like a meaningless perk. Sure, you have a kitchen, but you have no access to (or money for) any groceries. Well, hopefully there is some sort of convenient store on campus or near by so you can get the basics. IF you do, then you are about to become the next Gordon Ramsey because these dishes will become the favorites of all your friends. So let's get started.

1. Grilled Cheese Lasagna

This is the first thing my friends and I cooked together. You're gonna wanna butter a casserole dish, then butter some bread. Put bread in dish, butter side down. Layer of cheese, layer of bread, layer of cheese, then some buttered bread, placed butter side up. It kinda slaps.

2. Campbell's soup Popsicles

Pour a Campbell's soup of your choice into a cup. Freeze it with a pencil or pen in the center (you can cover with cling wrap so it stays in place). Once it is solid, lick away!

3. Poached Oreo's

Take some marinara, or, as the Italians say, Madadad sauce, and pour it in a pot. Then, just dump in a case of Oreo's, let simmer on stove for 6 hours. Enjoy!

4. Dirty dish scrap leftovers

After you eat, take the stuff from the plate and scrape it into a pot. Keep doing that until the pot is full. Eat contents. Yummmm.

5. Pasta cooked in Popcorn kernel broth

So after you microwave popcorn, save the unpopped kernels. Put them in a pot with some water and let it boil for 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Then, save the water, get the kernels out, and cook pasta in the popcorn water. Delish.

6. Seltzles 

Take some pretzels, which you can just take from the airplanes. Now dump them in a pot with seltzer filled to the brim. Now boil that down until you are just left with solids. Boom. Seltzles.

7. Cookie dough ravioli

So this one is actually kinda fun. You take an Uncrustable (any flavor), cut a slit in it, then shove raw cookie dough in the center, and fry it in some oil on a pan on the stove.

8. Baked cold cuts

You can easily get ham, salami, sliced turkey, bologna and any other sliced meet at a local deli. Just put some of those in a pot and throw it in the oven at 475 for 50 minutes. Voila. Food for a king.

9. Mix every spice you got, and drip some Tyson nuggets in it.

That's pretty much it, actually.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
