Ah, college. Where the pressure to take care of yourself and succeed at school and life meets the system of shoebox-sized dorms and mini-fridges that prevent many college students from cooking and preparing food easily. In today's video, I'm talking all about grocery shopping and eating in a dorm room! I'm talking the challenges, do's and don'ts of getting the most out of your limited space, and my tips for making the dorm life work for you and YOUR health. This is the second video in my March 2020 series on all things college nutrition!

This is the first episode that I've published with real live video for YouTube! So if the audio is a little funky--I'm still working on my editing skills (: 

I'm talking cookbooks! Call me old-school, but I love cookbooks! It makes trying to decide what to make so much easier, everything is organized and clearly written out, and there's just something so satisfying about cooking with a book propped up in front of you, a couple of smudges or bits of flour on the pages. Catch me talking what makes a good cookbook, and a few of my favorite cookbooks and what I like about them.

Cookbooks I mention: 

Indian-ish, by Priya Krishna

Run Fast, Eat Slow, by Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky

Salt Fat Acid Heat, by Samin Nosrat

The $5 a Meal College Vegetarian Cookbook, by Nicole Cormier

The Better Homes Cookbook

The Forest Feast Gatherings, by Erin Gleeson
