    Thanks for the college memories, brought mine back! My roomie and I did baked potatoes with butter and a Greek style seasoning with beets and thousand island dressing at least once or twice a week!

    I have all but season 7 of GG on DVD and would be up at 3am nursing my first born daughter…she was born about 10am on a Thursday and family channel had GG at 11am and 5pm she got her first ep at 5pm…I loved Everwood! Like everything college was a failure for me.

    “I’m not THAT old!” I had to laugh at that because I AM that old. We didn’t have Internet OR cell phones. In my undergraduate years, we didn’t even have computers. I was one of the few in my dorm with a portable electric typewriter.
    We had one microwave for the whole dorm. I did have a few illegal appliances—a hot plate, electric skillet, and crockpot. My friends next door had an electric griddle. Our university was a “suitcase campus” where many of us would go home on the weekends, but occasionally, my friends and I would plan weekends where we would all stay, play Spades all day, and pool our resources to cook (what we thought were) elaborate meals.
    I rarely ate in the cafeteria because I didn’t have a meal plan. We didn’t have many options as far as fast food and I could rarely afford it anyway. My mom would send me back with leftovers, produce from Dad’s garden, and home canned goods. My roommate would also bring back leftovers sometimes. Two weekday/night go-to items I remember we made a lot were tuna salad and rice-a-roni from the box (remember that illegal electric skillet).

    I'm just a bit younger than you, I started high school 20 years ago, & I remember ground beef being the cheap meat! I still can't believe how that's changed! And I didn't watch Everwood but remember it!

    I’ve been thinking about starting to compile inexpensive recipes to give to my kids when they move out, so thanks for these! My aunt taught me to put ranch powder mix in my cottage cheese, it’s so good as a dip with veggies, or chips and I think it would be great on the baked potato.

    I love a good ole plate of mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, and Kraft mac and cheese. I used to eat baked potatoes for breakfast because I had so many surgeries growing up that that's pretty much all I could stomach. <3
