The University of New Hampshire is known for having good food in their dining halls. I'm not going to deny that it is good, but after a while, it can get boring eating similar things all of the time.

Luckily, I've created this list of food hacks for when you feel like giving up on the dining hall!

1. Paninis

No need to wait for grilled cheese night! Make grilled cheese, or any toasted sandwich, by using the panini press.

2. Ice Cream Sandwich

When it is ice cream night at the dining halls, put a scoop of ice cream between two cookies to make an ice cream sandwich.

*Pro-tip: Roll the ice cream sandwich in chocolate chips, sprinkles or Oreo crumbles to make it ascetically pleasing like in the picture above!

3. Trail Mix

You can make trail mix by combining pretzels from the sandwich bar with dried fruit form the salad bar with chocolate and raisins from the ice cream toppings and whatever cereal you want. Customize it exactly the way you like!

4. Bagel Pizza

While they may be in different parts of the dining hall, there is almost always bagels, cheese, and sauce available. Microwave it and you have a mini pizza!

5. Warm Cookies

Who doesn't love a warm chocolate chip cookie? You can have them anytime you want if you warm them up using the microwaves in the dining halls.

6. Quesadilla

Combine veggies and cheese from the salad bar in a tortilla and put it in the panini press to make a quesadilla!

7. Sandwich & Salad Bars

I'm including these because I don't think many people realize that you can make your own sandwich and/or salad anytime.

8. Apple & Peanut Butter

Cut up an apple and add some peanut butter to your plate for a healthy snack or a protein-filled dessert.

*Pro-tip: You can do this with other fruits too!

9. Sparkling Juice

You can make sparkling juice by adding soda water to any of the juices!

Enjoy!
