Going back to college or starting out as freshmen, one of the biggest transitions is what to eat. The good news is you don’t have to live on mac and cheese even if your cooking skills are limited. Get some simple electrics – toaster, toaster oven, microwave (note: check you college’s rules about what is allowed in your dorm room) - a pot, a pan, a few plates, glasses, silverware, a couple of storage containers, and a cookbook geared to college life, and you will be eating a balanced, healthy diet while away from home.
