Some recipes so far.

Here are some of the recipes I've discovered for my son to use in his dorm room.  He's kind of picky and this is very personalized, so it may not be useful to anyone else.   All of the recipes can be made with only a microwave.  I've ordered him a little microwave cooker and it comes with a cookbook, so probably this is going to be all he needs.  We'll see when it arrives, how I need to modify the recipes to make them gluten free and dairy free.  Note:  I just jotted these down for my son.  I did not edit for spelling or even to see if it makes sense.  If you have questions, please ask and that will help me figure out what I might have left out.;

4 cups cabbage (coleslaw mix at grocery).

3 tablespoons butter

1 onion (or you can buy frozen bagged chopped up onions or there is a carrots, onions and celery mix that they sometimes call mirepoix mix in the frozen veggies).

Green onions

1/2 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp pepper

1 cup milk

Melt butter. 

Add cabbage, onions, green onions, etc. and microwave 5 minutes.

Add broth and microwave for 15-20 minutes.

Add milk and microwave for 4 minutes.
Enjoy.  (I love this stuff).

Taco soup 1

If you are making it all vegetarian you should put in 2 cans of everything or only half the pack of taco seasoning. 

2 cans black beans

2 cans kidney beans

2 cans pinto beans

2 cans rotel

1 package taco seasoning mix (old el paso is gluten free).

If you add in the 1 pound ground beef, only use 1 can of each vegetable.

If you just go to burger king and buy a couple of hamburger patties, sub them for 1 can of beans.   Otherwise, the whole pack of taco seasoning will make it all too salty.

Taco soup

2 cans rotel

2 cans ranch beans

2 cans corn

1 pound hamburger

Or, as above, if leaving out the meat, double the veggies to help absorb some salt or only use half the packet of seasoning mix.
