Easy microwave meals for dorm?

Question

What are some healthy things I can make in my dorm microwave. Space is an issue here, as I have none. I'm also really not looking for instant stuff like cup noodles or lean cuisine etc...

Answer 1

Well, frozen dinners are a given.

You can m/w scrambled eggs. Get you a small dish, spray w/ a shot of Pam, and crack and egg or two in it. Scramble, nuke for 10-15 seconds. Chop up and stir w/ a fork, nuke again 10-15 seconds until done.

You can then put this on a tortilla w/ cheese and ready-cooked bacon, or an English Muffin, or even frozen biscuit. (I think there are some refrig. biscuits that you can nuke, too, now.)

Also soups, stews, cheese dip (velvetta cubes + Pace picante sauce) and chips, ravioli-o's, and other canned goods.

Keep tuna or chicken and mayo/mustard packets in your fridge for q quick sandwich spread or to eat on crackers.

Answer 2

You may want to get a microwave oven--maybe $40 bucks at walmart. It will give you a lot more options--pizza, chicken nuggets, grilled sandwiches...

With the microwave--there are boxed items like mac n cheese, or hamburger helper, also try baked potatos (10 minutes on medium high, poke holes through it).

Answer 3

this was good, probably not that healthy though....you could just leave off the sauce and breading.....just lightly oil, salt and pepper the outside of chicken after tucked, then microwave as directed.
