Breakfast Before Anything Else

If you have an early morning class then today's blog will be perfect for you. I have an early morning class and I'm a college student and don't feel like waking up earlier than normal to go get breakfast from the Dinning Commons. My favorite meal is breakfast and because of this class, I don't get to eat! I'm going to show you one of the many ways you can cook an egg in a microwave so that you can have breakfast before class and not wake up super early. We're going to be a little fancy and make a poached egg. Ingredients: - Microwave  - Egg - Mug or bowl - 1/3 cup of Water - Spoon - 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar (optional) - Plate If you would like to throw your egg on a pice of toast, then go ahead. I prefer mine on a croissant. The first step is to crack the egg into a microwave sat bowl or mug. pour in about 1/3 cup of water and add a bit of vinegar (about 1/2 teaspoon). Cover the bowl or mug with a plate and microwave for about 1 minute 30 s

French Toast In A Mug

Are you French? Do you like Toast? Well I don't care if you are French or not because we are making some FRENCH TOAST. This week we will be cooking in mugs with a microwave. Pretty easy. Right? This is an easy semi-cheap recipe that will fill you up before your morning class. Ingredients: 1 or 2 slices of bread, cubed (doesn't matter what type. I prefer a baguette for crunchiness) 1 tbls butter 1 egg 3 tbls milk Dash cinnamon Drop of vanilla extract (optional) To begin to chef it up in your dorm, grab a mug. Next, cube whatever bread you have on hand. Melt the butter in the mug and swish it around a bit.Next, stuff the bread in the mug.  In a different cup, stir the egg, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla and pour the mix over the bread. squash the bread a little to allow the mix to soak into the bread. Then microwave for about 1 minute and add more seconds at a time until it looks cooked. When I cook it in my microwave it takes about 2 minutes. 

Dormmade Apple Pie

Alright people. It's Fall and it's approaching Thanksgiving so that means that it is pie season! We all love pie! There are so many variations of pie which allows us to be creative. Although we want creativeness, I'm going to bring it back to the classic apple pie. The way that we're about to make this is easy for your dorm situation. Ingredients: 1. Apples 2. Cinnamon 3. Honey 4. Butter (optional) 6. bread 7. Bowl 5. Microwave (or toaster) To make this, line your bowl with some bread. Then slice up some apples, add some cinnamon and honey with a little butter if you would like to. Place those apples in the bowl and microwave/toast it and BOOM you've got your dorm made apple pie. If you don't like apple pie then put whatever kind of pie filling you prefer inside it. If you also would like to be fancy, add some ice cream to your new creation. I got the idea from this place called  9 College Food Hacks You'll Wish You Thought of First , but I added

Matt's Special Hot Coco

Hey y'all, seeing as the winter months are coming up soon, today we're gonna show you something quick and easy to fix before class in the mornings. We'll go over how to make it from buying your own ingredients and from snagging some from the dining commons. Today: Finessed Hot Chocolate Ingredients: Hot Chocolate Mix (any kind) Whipped Cream Marshmallows (mini or regular sized) Cinnamon Chocolate Syrup Milk (or water) OPTIONAL: Frother Regular way Step 1: Heat up milk in the microwave. 3 minutes is optimal, but seeing as you're already hot stuff, heat it up to your liking. Step 2: Add mix to milk, and, if you have one, use brother. This helps mix it better as well as make it creamier. Step 3: Microwave the marshmallows separately from the milk on a plate until fluffy, if using regular 2 should do it. If you are using mini, however many fill up the cup should work.

Alright boys and girls, today we're going to finesse our first item: Cold Brew Coffee Milkshakes. This one may not be the cheapest on this list, but fasten your seatbelt, because we're about to board the flavor train. First, the ingredients and supplies neccesary: Ice cream Coffee (Preferably Cold Brew) Blender Spoon Cups (For however many you are serving) French Press Now lets make those shakes. Coffee : Any cold coffee will do, don't use hot unless you like to live life on the edge. We here at Midnight Munchies prefer Cold Brew coffee. You can either make your own cold brew or buy it from the Breezeway Grill (Located in the fridge closest to the grills). In order to make your own, buy any type of pre-ground coffee, an espresso such as Cafe Bustelo is nice for an extra caffeine buzz. Next, you need some way of soaking the coffee in water and straining it. The easiest way of doing this, especially when making enough for only one or two people is with a French

Not Just Food It's Finesse

Welcome to Midnight Munchies! Do you not have time to eat at the dinning commons? Do you not have money? Are you a starving college student? Food is something that we all love. The problem is that it can be very expensive whether we are buying groceries or eating out at a restaurant. My problem is that I love food so much that I spend most of my paycheck on it. By the time college rolls around, I have insufficient funds to treat myself. This is okay though because during my senior year of high school, I learned how to finesse cheap food to make it taste and look better. Although I am 5 weeks into college now, I have found that my past pizzazz has helped me to not starve through the semester.              If you’re a college student and want to make cheap good-looking food that makes people say, “wow what Starbucks did you get that from?”, then this site is for you. I’m here to show you how to finesse your way through college on a non-academic level. The content of thi
