      Honeysuckle I'm so happy to see this series on your channel. I'm not a college student, but I'm a working mother, and some days are so difficult for cooking by the time I get home from work. Would love to be able to let Chef Microwave do the work while I interact with my sweet girl. If you could incorporate more low carb options, that would be great too. My husband is diabetic, so we're always looking for ways to cut down on carbs.

  • @jeng5306
    @jeng5306 7 років тому +64

    Definitely lived the dorm life. It is possible to live on $20 worth of meals in a week. I did themed weeks, where each week was a different cuisine. So, that required some planning and writing out my grocery list. Weekly, I'd pick 1-2 main grains, frozen veggies, sometimes canned food, and whatever was on sale for protein. I did have access to a stove, but my roommates that previously roomed at the dorms with no kitchen used the all-in-one slow cookers. These type of slow cookers can sauté, slow cook, steam, and steam bake. Waffle makers are now popular in the dorm rooms too. Way back in the day my brother used those sandwich makers to make ham and cheese sandwiches and pizza pockets. Dorm room cooking has a lot of room for creativity. I'm excited to see what you come up with!

  • @rhiannonwhitehead6728
    @rhiannonwhitehead6728 6 років тому

    Tip! Brown rice comes pre cooked in the freezer section at the grocery store and if you toss in some frozen diced veggies, eggs or tofu and a little soy sauce and black pepper it tastes delicious! It’s my go to microwave dinner. It doesn’t exactly taste like take out fried rice, but it’s way healthier and still super tasty! I also love using the frozen brown rice with some yellow corn and black beans with some cayenne pepper and a little sour cream for a yummy Hispanic feeling dish in the microwave. You can get so creative with frozen brown rice and frozen/ canned veggies
