Need some dinner ideas (limited resources)
As some of you know, I go to a residential high school (yes, it sucks).
I've been looking for some good meals for when the cafeteria food sucks. Right now this is basically TV dinners and easy mac. I have limited storage space/cooking utensils/appliances. I only have a small fridge, and a microwave in the commons of the residence. The fridge has a small freezer space, although it doesnt work too well. Anyone have good meal ideas that don't require a range/stove and minimal freezer capacity? |

Limited storage space is in terms of freezer capacity, i got tons of dry storage space.
None of you college kids/grads have any ideas? I know the OOT cookoff thread got a bazillion replies... |

Canned chili, soup, ramen, frozen veggies.
Ghetto egg McMuffins were a staple of an old roommate of mine. Bean burrito's are good and easy. |

PB&J is always quick, easy & tasty.
Ramen is edible and super cheap. There are a ton of differet types of good microwaveable individual soup cups. |

Canned soup/soup cups (as already mentioned) keep some fruit around. Pizza pops and/or individual pizzas.
Not much else you can do with just a microwave. I assume you aren’t allowed a hot plate? |

I've got ramen and canned soup too. There are some "Pasta Pronto" dishes that have been pretty good too, no milk/butter required. |

Get yourself a cheap toaster oven ($20 or less, $5 or less if you're willing to get a used one from a thrift or flea market) it'll increase your capabilities immensely. In particular, frozen mini-pizzas are much better baked than nuked!
Well, unless that's prohibited like the hot plate? |

You can do a lot with a microwave:
Baked potato Steamed veggies Heat anything canned - baked beans, soups Quesadillas Popcorn Nuked egg sandwich Also, learn something. You can make grilled cheese with an iron. Yes, I have lived in a dorm room. |
