Too Little or Too Much

What’s good to keep in your dorm room?

When I first arrived to college I went food shopping like crazy food shopping! I purchased all my favorite foods in BULK!

Cookies, chips, cake, juice pouches, you name I had it in bulk! 

All my favorite goodies

However, I had all my favorite foods in my dorm some didn't last long and I couldn't get rid of the ones I really wasn't fond of.

So I feel like this video is good for people who are trying to figure out what to buy and what not to buy for your dorm room.

Garbage Nachos

Nachos again?

I love nachos… soooo

YEAH! More Nachos

There are so many ways to make nachos, yup it’s nachos with Queso.

Here is an image that came up in a search for ‘Jalapenos' at MorgueFile

Ingredients:

•   Tortilla Chips
• Queso
•  Salsa
• Sour cream
• Jalapenos  (Optional)

If you choose to use queso instead of shredded cheese…

You need a microwavable bowl and pour a generous amount of queso cheese in to the bowl and warm in the microwave for :30 seconds or until cheese is warm.

Then pour salsa and sour cream in to warmed queso and mix together well.

Next place a generous amount of tortilla chips on a plate and then pour the mixture on to the chips and place jalapenos on if wanted. You could also dip the tortilla chips into the mixture (less messy).

Enjoy!

While waiting for your bacon to cool, lightly butter coffee mug, then place the egg, cheese, and salt and pepper into the mug.

Lets Snack Healthy

College can be a bit stressful and sometimes as college students we don’t have the time to get a decent meal so we snack… A LOT!

With all that snacking going on we get to enjoy that comfort food YUM YUM YUM.

However, we start to realize that we look and feel a little heavier and when we step on the scale and it says you’re getting little chubby… not what we want to see.

So here is a video to show how to eat healthy while you’re at school!

Of course this is only to give you an idea what you might want to keep in your dorm room. Its easy to eat health you just have to want to do what's best for you.

So try to avoid getting pizza, pasta, and fried foods try the healthier opinions, like she said in the video.

Customize healthy eating to your own benefit so you can have a healthier you.
