Last Post for awhile

I'm off to school tomorrow, so I thought I would wrap this up for now.

A secret to college dorm food? Mom's leftovers! Seriously, if you are ever home for a weekend, ask for your favorite meal and then take back leftovers. Make sure to eat them within the week, but it's so good!

So that's my ending note for now. I'll definitely keep writing, just not as often. I'll also be reviewing more meals that I find-you know, certain products marketed towards the dorm crowd. But for now, enjoy!

Another Potato Recipe

I'm on a potato kick. What can I say? I love potatoes. And they are cheap and nutritious, as long as they aren't fries. Here's a way to microwave a baked potato.

-Wash the potato.
-Poke holes in the potato with a fork.
-Microwave for 3 to 4 minutes.
-Cut open to see if potato is cooked (Is it squishy? If so, it's good)
-Bake for another 30-60 seconds if need be. It really depends on the size of the potato.
-Enjoy with some butter, salt and pepper, cheese, bacon...whatever you like!

Potato Chips in the Microwave!

I don't know about you, but I love potato chips! I know, not very healthy, but so good. But in my cafeteria dorms, potato chips are in a huge tub, so I don't ever get them because it weirds me out. But then I found a recipe online for salt and pepper potato chips in the microwave. So why not try it?

Ingredients:
1 potato
1 c. water
1-2 Tbsp. vegetable or canola oil
salt and pepper to taste

Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut very, very thin, about as thin as a sheet of paper. (This is the key to this recipe!) Soak in the water for about 30 minutes. Dry off potatoes well. (This is another key to the recipe) Place potatoes on a microwave safe plate, and don't overlap them. Coat potatoes with oil, and wipe off the excess. Microwave for two minutes, take out and remove any excess oil, and then microwave again for two minutes, or until crisp and slightly brown. Put salt and pepper on the chips, and let cool. And then enjoy!
