What could you make using ingredients from a college cafeteria?
June 7th, 2010
I’m hungry for a home-cooked meal, but like any average college student, I’m broke with a capital B.
My cafeteria has the usual extensive salad bar, egg bar with seasonings, chopped up onions, meats, and veggies, oil, butter, and of course eggs. We have apples, oranges, and bananas, a breakfast bar with cereal, bread, butter, honey, brown sugar and Cinnamon, etc., and a stir fry bar with different stir fry sauces, rice, and stir fry veggies.
And here’s the menu for tonight: Carved Meatloaf, Jambalaya, Black Beans, Dirty Rice, fried Okra, Fresh Yellow Squash & Onions, Corn Muffins
Any ideas?
p.s. I have a kitchen and cooking utensils at my disposal.

Yum! The stir fry bar sounds awesome. I would probably use that a lot. The menu for tonight sounds like a home-cooked meal.
for breakfast u can do whole grain bread or rye bread with a banana or apple or oatmeal or cereal with fruit and milk
you can make for dinner
a salad of grilled chicken lettuce veggies onions no dressing but maybe some cheese or fat free dressing and hard boiled eggs
or veggie salad with onions and lettuce and eggs
You could make a nice Denver Omelet w/ diced sauteed veggies, shredded cheese, adn fresh eggs.
You coudl probably make banana-nut muffins too (or at least banana muffins) outof bananas, honey, brown sugar, butter, and Bisquick (if you can find some).
You coudl also take some diced veggies, saute them in butter, and add to crumbled up corn muffins to make cornbread dressing. Bake that along w/ some chicken on top for a nice chicken dinner out of the oven.
