Are you hungry? Are you living in a dorm? There are many simple ways for you to use the appliances allowed in the dorms and the dorm kitchens. Here are some easy recipes you can make in your dorm room or kitchen. Sincerely, a commuter student.

Overnight Oats

Base Ingredients:

- 1 cup of rolled oats

Optional Ingredients:

Directions:

In a glass jar or container of your choice, combine the one cup of milk and rolled oats. Keep the milk and oats at a 1:1 ratio. Add in your ½ cup of yogurt (or ½ extra cup of milk). Sprinkle in some chia seeds. Put in fridge overnight. In the morning, remove your overnight oats from the fridge and add your optional toppings. Enjoy!

Mac n’ Cheese in a Mug

Ingredients:

- 1 cup of water

- ½ cup of elbow macaroni

Combine macaroni and water into a mug. You might need more or less water depending on what size mug you use (standard 12 oz is suggested). Microwave on high for 8 minutes. Pause at 2 and 5 minutes to stir. Add more water if needed. Cook until pasta is soft. Add cheese into your mug and make sure there is a little bit of water still in the mug. If the cheese does not melt, pop it back into the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir and enjoy!

Big Red’s Ice Cream Sandwiches

Crush the cookies into an old Raider Bowl container (or bowl) to form a crust. Freeze for 20 minutes. Spread thawed ice cream thickly on top of the crust and add another layer of crushed cookies on top. Freeze for an hour. Take out of the freezer, cut and enjoy!
