Getting Cafeteria Creative

College food is something we all love to hate. After surviving crazed lunch ladies, unidentifiable mashes, and "mystery meat" in elementary school, cafeteria calamities are back with a vengeance. Recycled main dishes, limp salad bar lettuce, and slimy lunch meat leave our taste buds distressed and unsatisfied.

Sick of the same old same old? Thankfully, in a college cafeteria, a little creativity goes a long way. 

1. Slice up some apples and arrange on a plate. Pour caramel ice-cream topping over the apple slices, and top off with crushed peanuts!

2. Vanilla ice-cream + Rootbeer  = easy rootbeer float! Also works with Orange Crush and Mountain Dew!

 3. Fill a mug half-way with waffle batter, and add desired mix-ins (chocolate sprinkles shown above, found by the ice-cream). Microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds and grab a fork for a muffin in a mug!
