The Dorm-Room-Scramble!

Eggs are a breakfast commodity that too many college students think they have to go without.
How could you possibly enjoy eggs without a stove?

Well guess what! You can keep on crackin'! Microwaving eggs is a wonderful way to eat your
eggs!  You don't even have to add extra fat for the frying pan :)

I have been eating "Cup Eggs" since I was a little tike!  I remember peering over the counter and watching the eggs puff up inside the microwave in awe...  An egg is an egg, no matter how you cook it! All you need is a mug, and you can enjoy fluffly, scrambled eggs in the comfort of your dorm.

Forget Shively's limited Breakfast Bagels! You are in control of your breakfast sandwich now, and your options are limited!  Jazz up your cup eggs with cheese, ham, and veggies!
Here's a recipe for my go-to breakfast sandwich to get you started!

Dormroom Eggs over my Hammy Sammy!

What You Need:
-A microwave
- Eggs
- a splash of milk
- Salt and Pepper
- Ham
-Whole Wheat Bread
- Cheese of your liking
- Your favorite Condiments










1. Crack your egg into your mug and beat it.. JUST BEAT IT! Add your salt, pepper, and a splash of milk for fluffiness!


2. Microwave for aprox. 2 minutes (keep an eye on it... It should puff up inside the mug!)






3. Top your toast 

(TOASTERS IN THE DORM ARE ILLEGAL... But I am a Badass.)
with your ham, cheese, egg, and condiments!  I am a fan of ketchup on my eggs, but you don't have to be!


4. Enjoy a lighter, simpler breakfast sandwich packed with protein, and whole grain!

Fabulous Finger-Foods

Fingers... good for so many things. 


 Reaching deep into the peanut butter jar, shoulder massages, peace signs, and even nose-picking! You may only have two hands, but you have ten fingers!  Imagine how sad life would be without your thumb to pinky.  Without your phlanges the fun of hand-holding and flipping people off would be lost.  
Nah  I ain't Sayin' she's a GOLDDIGGER!
Even the queen likes finger food !
There was a time when fingers were our only eating utensils. Instead of relying on silverware for our eating, let's forget the forks and celebrate your fingers with some bite-size treats!  Here are some top picks when it comes to finger-food!
