Dorm life: the place where mac-and-cheese and popcorn is considered a balanced meal. But, not anymore! It's time to get creative and add in something a little extra to that ramen. Below I have five recipe ideas that are easy and healthy to make in a dorm!

1. Waffle Maker Pizza

Tired of calling for pizza at midnight? Not needed anymore! If you have a waffle maker, then you have a whole world of recipes waiting for you. All you have to do it find them.

2. Healthy Ramen

Next time you find yourself microwaving ramen, try and incorporate some veggies! Maybe grab a can of chow mien veggies when you're at the store and throw those into your ramen.

3. Waffle Maker Hash Browns

This is probably one of the easiest things to make. Just take your hash browns and instead of putting it on the skillet, put it on the waffle maker!

4. Parfaits

Yummy and still very healthy! All you need is some fresh fruit, yogurt and granola, and you're good to go!

5. Scrambled Eggs

Have eggs but no stove? Never fear! Eggs can be microwaved and still be delicious. Just throw all your favorites into this scramble, microwave and boom! Delicious scrambled eggs.

So, for all of you still living in the dorms, I hope you are passed the typical mac-and-cheese and ramen days. Now you know how to cook yourself up a good meal!
