29 Ways To Hack Your College Dining Hall

I’m starting to understand why college meal plans cost so much. Once upon a time, when I was in college, we thought we were clever for mixing coffee and hot chocolate for an after-dinner drink. My roommate would cut up boiled eggs (the “vegetarian” substitute) to make egg salad sandwiches when she didn’t like the entree. But that’s nothing compared to some of the recipes college students have devised using ingredients found in modern dining halls. How about Cream Cheese French Toast with “Caramelized” Bananas? Pizza Panini? Tater Tot Grilled Cheese? That’s good eating. Shown here is a Waffle Breakfast Sandwich. Find the recipe for it at Spoon University.
