6 Healthy, Easy Recipes Nobody Will Believe You Actually Made In Your Dorm Room Without A Kitchen

No kitchen, no problem. These are healthy creative meals you can make in your dorm!

1. Pasta Boat Penne Vodka

One of the best ways to make pasta in the microwave is to use a pasta boat.

You can purchase it from Amazon and from there all you need to do is add your pasta and water in the pasta boat, cook in the microwave, add your vodka sauce from a jar, and you have yourself a five-minute five-star meal!

2. Vegan Buffalo Nuggets

@therawberry

Tired of eating gross, chewy frozen chicken? Time to switch to plant-based.

My go-to microwave lunch is the MorningStar buffalo wings which taste almost identical to chicken nuggets if not better (and better for the environment too.)

3. Sweet Summer Salad

You can totally make that salad you ordered out last night right in your dorm.

Just add spinach, feta cheese, pistachios or walnuts, baby tomatoes, and drizzle honey/balsamic for a dressing (a nice break from the caesar salad you've had for the fifth day in a row.)

4. Açaí Bowl

Yes you can totally make an açaí bowl from your dorm. I would recommend getting a small blender that you can blend with an açaí packet and milk.

After that all you need to do is add your toppings ie: granola, cereal, fruit, honey.

5. Quinoa Bowl

@gunisha.khurana

Freshmen year i always had a bag of microwavable quinoa in my snack bin.

If I needed a clean meal after eating a trey of pizza the night before i would add my quinoa to a bowl and then add any toppings i could find usually spinach, blue cheese crumbles and hot sauce (surprisingly good combo don't judge me.)

6. Baked Sweet Potato

@chefdanyduguay

Another personal favorite of mine is a sweet potato cooked in the microwave. All you have to do is poke holes in your potato, wrap in a damp paper towel, and microwave for about four minutes.

After cooking cut open, add butter and salt, and eat (add marshmallows and cinnamon for a sweet alternative.)

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
