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.

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!

hey dzung college studen here. great recipes. what I'd say i have a problem with is the ingredients on hand sometimes cost a lot such as getting ingredients like corn starch in your video and other things that are really unconventional for us living the college life since we only live in these places for short periods of time. can you make a video encompassing your go to ingredients for simple and quick foods? this also includes spices and other extraneous stuff.

@honeysuckle 7 жыл бұрын

+Big Boss good idea! I can do like a college dorm pantry staple video. I didn't include spices and cornstarch because they're always around in my house. You can get them for like $1 each at target so I will do a staple haul or something helpful like that!! Thanks for watching ☺️

@Linda-fd2iu 7 жыл бұрын

Big Boss spices can be the break it or make it for a lot of food and much of it can be bought super cheap at target and a little goes a long way besides salt and pepper. If there's a cuisine that you have a preference for, buy some of the spices. They last so long that it's a purchase you make once and it will last a whole semester or close to it.

@Linda-fd2iu 7 жыл бұрын

Big Boss point is, corn starch is super cheap. Ignore saffron. Get turmeric. Get freshly grated pepper and salt instead so they taste fresher. Etc.

@tinas4946 7 жыл бұрын

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
