    After eighteen long years of ballet class and soccer games, you've finally shipped them off to start their college careers. You should relax and savor your empty nest, but something is nagging at you. Even though they are physically gone, you still worry: Are they eating?

    Put those worries to rest and give your co-ed recipes they can create right in their own dorm room. Instead of loading up on bland cafeteria fare, arm your student with tasty microwavable recipes, sure to satisfy the pickiest of eaters. No faith in your scholar to create even the easiest of meals? Try giving them one of our many variations on ramen; fail-proof pastas and soups they can pull off for only a few bucks.

    Browse through our college cookbooks or premium members can a compile book from scratch and turn your kid into the talk of the commons, known for their creative "home cooked" meals. And get going on enjoying the quiet of having the house all to yourself. The holiday visit home is only a couple months away, but perhaps this time they're in town, they'll cook for you instead of the other way around!

    Corn and Potato Chowder "This is the only way I make corn chowder. The bacon gives a wonderful flavour, and the two kinds of corn a nice consistency."-- MaeEast

    Quick Ramen Tuna Noodle'o "I'm the only one in the house that likes tuna noodle casserole so I used Ramen noodles and came up with a great tasting, quick dish without a big pot of leftovers."-- bayoucritter aka. angela

    Emergency Meatball Sub Dinner "This isn't a recipe as much as it is a solution to 'I'm starving. What's for dinner?' when you walk in the door."-- hokiegal

    Microwave Mexican Manicotti "A coworker shared this recipe with me several years ago. It is a quick and easy meal for busy nights. I have added seasonings to the beef and bean mixture..."-- ms_bold

    College Budget Recipes "Recipes with few ingredients and low budget! I still use things like these sometimes even though I've been out of college a long time."-- Tish

    Dorm Delights "Yummy recipes for college students!"-- Kizzikate

    Laura's Dorm Room Cookbook "This is especially for my sweet and lovely niece Laura, who is a junior in college, and living in a dorm with yucky food. The cafeteria isn't always convenient (or edible) so I want to make her a cookbook of fast recipes, using minimal ingredients, and using only dorm-approved appliances."-- ~Elissa~

    Different dorm halls have different rules. If more than just a fridge and microwave are are options, check out our crockpot recipes for even more easy dishes — no kitchen necessary! If your kid doesn't want the whole freshman class showing up on his doorstep begging for "real food", give them recipes tailored to serve 1 or 2. If your student is really flat broke, be sure to send them Dani Jean's recipe for her College Sandwich — perfect for a five finger discount meal or at least a good laugh! Stop by Nick's Mom's talk on Gift Baskets for a College Student for recipes and ideas to get them eating healthy even when they aren't under your thumb.

    Remember pulling all-nighters? Check out all our microwaveable popcorn, nacho and other snack recipes — treats to tide them over and keep them studying long into the night. Sick of all the long-distance whining that the care packages are too far and few between? Give them an extensive collection of easy microwaveable dessert recipes so they can tame their own sweet tooth. Also stop by our Kid-Friendly Cooking forum filled with plenty of advice on feeding tricky teenagers.

    Get a small crockpot. You can put canned soup in it, go to class and come back to a hot ready meal. I used to make spaghetti hotdish, creamed pheasant, venison stroganoff and other tasty creations that I would share with my floormates. It just takes a little trial and error, along with some culinary creativity.

    Another great recipe to try that only requires a microwave for cooking is It's-easier-than-making-tacos Salad (taco Salad).

    This is my daughter's recipe - her first "real" meal that she cooked up when she went to university in 2005! Daughter's Dinner in a Dash - Student One-Pot Chicken! - add extra seasonings or maybe some cooked pasta, it's a great basic and made in one pot! FT
