When I was in college, I relied on couscous quite a bit. cos all you got to do is throw the stuff into a bowl, pour hot water on it, cover, let it sit for about 5 minutes and it’s good to eat!
I usually add some leafy veggies and a dash of soy sauce to it, and eat. haha. and you can always add a poached egg to it too!

I’d buy a toaster oven if there’s no oven in your suite.

I think you’ll be all right, considering you’ll have a small kitchen.

There might be a weekly farmers market on campus.

crockpot. get yourself a crockpot.
If you get one where you can fit a chicken in it, all the better, but any size you can put a big ol’ piece of meat, and then let it simmer all day while you’re in class. It’s easy, tasty, and you can use cheaper cuts of meat… Plus if you cook a big piece of beef, a chicken, etc, you can then use that meat in a few meals to come (I cook a roast, then we have strogranoff, then we have beef barley soup… and those second meals are super quick!)
and steal veggies from the dining hall like crazy! if you’re not grocery shopping a lot it’s hard to keep some fresh ones around before they go bad, and they add up price wise. i might’ve brought tupperwear in my backpack when i was in college and taken stuff from the salad bar. and never got caught.

Not a bad start, the wrap and ciabatta look really good!

I am sure you’ll manage it, don’t worry. I am actually a phd student, I commute everyday so I have to leave the house by7 or 8 something and I normally get back around 6. that’s why I cook relatively simple meals during weekdays. Blogging shouldnt sound like a chore, enjoy it! Do whatever you like!

I think blogging a couple times a week is just a really good way to relax and get away from the stress of college life for a bit. It’s also some good “me” time. Helps you collect your thoughts and everything Please continue blogging because I love reading everything you post – ramblings and all!

The poached egg ciabatta looks goooood. I’m usually scared of everything you post because it looks so hard and I’m not the best cook at all, lol. But everything you make always looks so yummy, so I needa grow a pair already and try your recipes!
