Question: What are some good "add water and microwave" foods to have in a dorm!?
I need ones besides ramen noodles that are easy to make (we only have a microwave and a fridge) and dont taste nasty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Well, I was going to say ramen noodles, but it seems your way ahead of me!. The Easy Mac is pretty good if you do it right!. Hamburger Helper has these individual packets you can cook in your microwave (just add water)!. You can also get cans of ravioli and/or spaghetti, or whatever canned stuff you feel like nuking in your microwave!. HOWEVER, PLEASE AVOID SPAGHETTI-O'S! THOSE ARE NASTY!! lolWww@FoodAQ@Com

Rice: add chicken bouillon or other spices (less sodium than nasty rice in a box) http://www!.wikihow!.com/Cook-Rice-in-a-Mi!.!.!.
Microwave rice takes less than 20 minutes!.

Potatoes: baked potatoes are quick, easy, and filling besides cheap! You have so many options for additions, such as bacon bits, cheese, sour cream/plain yogurt, chives, or butter, salt, and pepper!.
http://www!.wikihow!.com/Bake-a-Potato-in-!.!.!.
There's always instant mashed potatoes, too!.

Cans of cream-of soups: you can eat them as directed, or use as a soup base!. A can of cream of mushroom added to a package of frozen broccoli makes a quick, easy soup!. Add onions, garlic, and/or cheese and you'll feel warm and happy!.

Tea: you can have it hot, or serve it iced!. It quenches thirst and the variety of flavors makes it fun!. To make iced tea, I heat 2 cups of water with about 5 tea bags, put it in the pitcher, add cold water and ice cubes!.

Edit: the answerer ahead of me said "oatmeal"!. Oh yeah! Keep brown sugar and cinnamon on hand to spice your own instant oatmeal!. It's cheap, and you can have as much as you want, not just a packet!. You control the sugar amount too!. A good stir in is bananas and walnuts, it's like banana nut bread oatmeal!. Mm!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
