College Cuisine 101
College is hard enough. What to eat (and how to avoid gaining the dreaded
Freshman 15) shouldn't he part o f the challenge.
F ood
Even with the best intentions, dining hall food can get boring and serving hours often don't match up with actual student hours. But students needn't be limited to cafeteria
food, takeout, or good old PBJ day after day. With a few basic appliances-perm itted in most dorm room s-students can not only pursue higher learning, hut also take
a crash course in campus cooking.
Campus Cooking: the Advanced Course
INGREDIENTS
• 16 ounces semisweet chocolate
• 1(14 ounce) can sweetened condensed
milk
One Bowl Chocolate Fudge
“For peanut butter
squares, drop peanut
butter by spoonfuls
into chocolate and cut
into fudge with knife
before refrigerating.
Great for those late-
night study sessions!”
Rise and Shine
Mom was right: breakfast is the mast important meal o f the day. A carton
o f yogurt topped with a handful o f cereal and dried fruit makes a great
breakfast on the go. but for something a little more filling, consider a
breakfast burrito made with scrambled eggs, cheese and precooked
bacon or sausage. The fdlings can be changed to suit any taste, and by
using the microwave, a breakfast burrito can be assembled and ready
to eat in less than 5 minutes.
DIRECTIONS
1. Line an 8x8 inch square dish with
aluminum foil.
2. Chop chocolate and place in a large,
microwave safe bowl with condensed milk.
3. Microwave on high, stirring once or
twice until chocolate is soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• I 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
4. Remove from oven and stir until
completely smooth. Stir in vanilla
and walnuts.
5. Spread in prepared pan.
6. Refrigerate 2 hours, until firm.
Cut into squares.
How tocook scrambled eggs in the microwave:
• Crack eggs into a microwave-safe bowl.
• Add milk or water and beat well with a fork.
• Cover with plastic wrap and microwave at 70 percent power for 1 1/2
minutes. If eggs are not cooked to desired doneness, continue cooking
in 20 second intervals, until done.
• Season with salt and pepper.
Iron Works
Ingredients for life..
SAFEWAY 0
The college student’s real secret weapon when it comes to dorm-room
dining is the clothes iron. Yes, it’s true: this commonplace household
appliance can turn out splendid grilled-cheese sandw iches and
quesadillas, often in less time than it takes to heat a skillet or griddle.
Caution: keep a layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil between the iron, the
food and the surface you’re ironing on. Ever try to pick melted cheese
out of an iron? It’s not pretty.
• Heat iron to cotton or linen setting. Turn off steam.
• On your work surface, place a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil large
enough to accommodate bread or tortilla. Place bread or torti 11a on foil and
top with desired filling. Cover with remaining slice of bread or tortilla.
Cover sandwich or quesadilla with another sheet of aluminum foil. Fold
foil to seal edges and make a packet.
• Press iron on surface of foil-covered packet, passing iron over entire
area for about 30 seconds. Carefully turn entire packet over and iron again
for about 30 seconds, taking care not to tear the foil. Unwrap an edge and
check to see if it is fully cooked. If contents are not hot or cheese is not
melted, rewrap the foil and repeat the ironing step.
