Plus you’d be very proud of me, because I have a ton of recipes already tested and ready for your viewing and eating pleasure. I love all the single-serving recipes I’ve tested and I know you will too. Or people who just don’t want to spend a ton of time cooking or deal with more leftovers than they know what to do with. From now on, I will be publishing dorm-friendly, mostly single serving recipes, that use minimal equipment, are super easy to make, and perfect for anyone (not just college students!) who live in a small space.

So just like that, Foodie’s new direction was born. Who has two thumbs, a food blog, and is allowed to have a microwave in her dorm? This gal! Looking at my most successful recipes over the years, almost all of them are single serving, usually with microwave options. I could feel a (dorm approved) lightbulb go off in my head. I scrolled through my greatest hits to appreciate how much joy they’ve brought to me, and also the people who’ve made and enjoyed them.Īnd that’s when it hit me. It was the six year anniversary (!!) of my beautiful blog baby last week, which constitutes almost a third of my 19-year-old existence, so I decided to go on a nostalgia trip down recipe memory lane. So there I was, mourning the death of Foodie Fiasco. I do run a food website with the word fiasco in the title, so maybe giving me fire in a confined space is not the thing to do. Who could ever live even a day without their halogen lamp? (Just kidding I have no idea what that is, but I needed some comedic relief to distract how sad I am about not being able to bring everything and the literal kitchen sink with me.) I can’t even bring a halogen lamp, which is just cruel. No toaster ovens, no burners of any kind, and no slow cookers. no space), we’re also severely limited in what appliances we’re allowed to bring. In addition to the laughable lack of space (i.e. It probably won’t be me.ĭorm cooking is hard.

I’ll update you come November, and we’ll see who’s laughing then. I’m told it will actually become sub 20 degree weather, but I chuckle and say, based on no evidence or experience whatsoever, that it will not be a problem for me. I could regale with you tales of pseudo woe as I chronicle the life of a recovering Californian stumbling around in sub 60 degree weather. But that would just leave a fiasco, and I don’t know how successful that would ultimately be. Foodie Fiasco could theoretically live on without, you know, food. But I have to contend with the untimely demise of my blog. Or so I thought.Īs I embark on my college journey, dorm kitchen space, or lack thereof, will inevitably stick a fork in my recipe testing career (pun completely intended). I get to live somewhere new and exciting, experience the novelty of seasons while watching in awe as white cold stuff falls from the sky, meet lots of wonderful people, study what I love, and live on ramen for the next four years (albeit some weird low carb/vegetarian version that I imagine myself concocting in some late night mad scientist starving student frenzy). Big news!! And I think you’re really going to like it.
