The Dorm Chef

Well, it’s been quite a while since I’ve updated this thing, but I think I may be ready to come back and start it up again.

I got so many positive responses to this site when I first started it up and I was so excited to be doing something I enjoyed, but my interest eventually fizzled out when I tried to do too much too fast. I think this time I’m just going to take it slow and try to update on a more regular basis, though I probably won’t be posting more than one original recipe a week, if that.

I’m trying to save some money this semester, so I’ve been cooking less in the dorm and eating in the cafeteria more frequently. But, I still stumble all of the time and I find lots of good recipes that I’d love to try, so I’m sure some of you would be interested in those articles. So if nothing else, I’m going to try and update two or three times a week either with my own recipe, or something good that I find online.

Anyways, hope you all enjoy.

Well, summer is finally here and that means I’m finally done with school and I’m back home in Texas. That means I’ll be able to dedicate all of my time to trying out new recipes and posting them here for all of you to enjoy.

Before I start posting recipes, I wanted to note a few changes you’ll all be noticing.

First, a lot of the recipes I’ll be making won’t necessarily be able to be made using only a microwave and a grill. I’ll try my best to adjust my recipes so that they can be cooked in the dorm, but I’m back home now and I have access to an oven and a stove again and I plan on using them.

Second, I am continuing in my efforts to lose more weight. I lost 30 lbs during the semester and I plan on losing even more in the summer now that I won’t be eating fast food or anything like that. I plan on posting recipes for just about everything I eat, so a lot of them won’t necessarily be thrilling or life changing. I want to state my purpose for this site again. My goal is that people who view this site will understand the variety of dishes out there, a lot of which are very common and simple. I just know that in my life I use to tend to eat the same 10 or so meals over and over again. I’m hoping this site shows everyone that there are other options available to you.

Lastly, I’m thinking about changing the layout soon, so I’m hoping the transition goes well and everyone is happy with the new look.

So, now that all of that is out of the way. Here come some new recipes!
