dash of parmesan cheese
2 slices of American cheese
splash of milk

This dish, optimal for curbing homesickness pangs or fending off hunger until dinner, is really quite simple.

Grab two slices of American cheese and tear them into strips. Cover the entire surface, and wash your hands—the dirty work is done.
The next ingredient is the secret, special, and defining component of this recipe. An absolutely essential part, it must not be avoided! A dash of milk, skim or fat depending on your dietary preferences, added to the mix for creamy consistency.

Before consuming, snap a picture for Instagram or your mother, popularity or home cooked jealousy, you’re choice, while allowing the creation to cool.

Orange Creamsicle Smoothie- a simple and delicious drink to cool off in the hot spring afternoons
Ingredients:
a cup of vanilla soft serve
half a cup of citrus peach juice cocktail
This drink is perfect as a break from playing soccer or tanning on the south side quad, where you are too far, tired and hot to make the trip to Stillwells. First, get yourself a glass and head over to the ice cream dispenser. Fill up that glass almost all the way with vanilla soft-serve, but remember to leave space for juice and stirring so it doesn’t overflow and spill all over your favorite spring outfit. You may be tempted to starting digging into that vanilla ice cream right then, but bear with us, it only gets better from here. Go to the drink dispenser and find yourself the Citrus Peach Juice Cocktail. Keep pressing that button and letting the delectable orange juice flow into your cup until all the crevasses are filled. Now you’re almost there, just get a fork (no, not a typo, it’s much easier than a spoon) and stir until the drink is creamsicle orange and has a milkshake-like consistency. Now, just remember those orange creamsicle pops that you used to buy from the ice cream truck when you were little, because you’re about to drink that in smoothie form, enjoy!

The Mega Macho Burrito Surprise 3000-for those Wednesday nights where the meat is mostly mystery and it’s been three days since Las Olas.
Ingredients:
1 tortilla
1 bowl of diced chicken
a lot of cheese
1 dollop of rice
Please do not attempt this recipe unless you are willing and able to handle a panini maker. We start by assembling our ingredients. First and foremost for a burrito, the tortilla. After choosing the proper canvas for the ensuing art, head to the salad bar. Grab a bowl, just one now don’t be greedy, and fill it with chicken cubes. Now, after spending five to ten minutes contemplating your cheese decision, fill both the inside of the tortilla and the the bowl of chicken with ample cheese, ample. Now get some rice from the hot line and scoop a hefty dollop into the same bowl. Head to the panini maker, fold the tortilla in half place it on the grill, salivating in anticipation. Make sure to remove the tortilla as the cheese becomes gooey but before the bread is charred. Under no circumstances can you char the tortilla.
Once this is done, put the chicken, cheese, and rice bowl into the microwave and heat it up for no more, and no less, than 28 seconds. While it is cooking, you have 28 seconds to get tomatoes from the salad bar, six of them precisely, and chop them up with a knife. Cutting pattern is by preference. Then toss some shredded lettuce from the sandwich bar, the tomatoes, and the food in your heated bowl into your still cheesy, gooey, and warm tortilla.
From there, fold, sit and enjoy! (If you like some extra zing or oomph in your burritos, be sure to adds some dashes of Frank’s Red Hot to the concoction before folding).
