Hi everyone!
My name is
Lindy and I am currently a freshman at Purdue University (Boiler Up!) studying
hospitality and tourism management. What
inspired me to choose that career? For
one thing, I love food! I really enjoy
cooking, and a lot of what I will share with you are tips and tricks I learned
from my mom and grandma. However, being
in college limits my food options to dining court food and ramen noodles. While both can be good in moderation, every so
often I get a real hankering for home cooked food and the ability to experiment
in the kitchen.
Which is
what brought this blog into existence. I
wanted to find a way to cook my own food not only for the times when I got
tired of eating cafeteria food, but let’s face it, it’s a good way to make a
lot of friends. However, cooking in a
dorm has several challenges of its own.
1. Limited space.
Not only is the kitchenette small, the dorm room isn’t super spacious
either. I don’t have the room to store
all of the ingredients and equipment I would like to use. For example, I don’t want to buy a whole 5
pound bag of flour to use just ¼ cup in a recipe.
2.
Limited time.
While being in college gives you more free time, it seems to fill up
very quickly. I don’t want the recipes
to take too long to make, and I also don’t want there to be too many dishes to
clean!
3.
Money! As
a poor college student, I don’t have the money to buy pine nuts for $20 a
pound.
4.
I wanted the recipes to be quick, easy, and semi
healthy (some of the time) if for no other reason than to assure my mom that I
wasn’t just eating French fries and cookies at every meal. But the most important thing is that they
must be delicious!
So keeping these things in mind, I’m on a quest to find
college friendly recipes that will satisfy those late-night cravings and help
you make a few friends along the way. Here's to a future of inevitable failures, successes, late night study parties, and countless memories. Cheers!
