Moving into your first college apartment can be exciting. No more dorm bunk beds, RAs, or shower shoes.
Then, at some point between moving day and your first grocery shopping trip, you’re hit with the thought, “I have to eat.”
If you’re a student, you’re probably both excited and overwhelmed. If you’re a mother, you may wonder if your child will survive on energy drinks and ramen noodles without the safety net of a cafeteria.
I had such concerns when my child moved into a rental home with friends during his senior year of college. However, he eventually accepted the change. He cooked regularly, looked up recipes online, and included vegetables in most of his recipes.
You don’t need a special kitchen or a culinary degree to make delicious meals at Rental College. All you need is a few smart staple ingredients, some basic cooking equipment, and a plan.
This guide covers everything from kitchen gadgets worth buying (and skipping), what to stock your fridge/freezer/pantry, and easy recipes to get you started.
