Hungry and on a budget? Here's our list of tasty foods you can make in your dorm or kitchen from tonight's show:

Tuna Mac n' Cheese with Mixed Vegetables

2 Boxes of stove-top mac n' cheese
2 Cans of tuna (drained)
1/2 bag of frozen mixed veggies
1 dollop of mayonnaise

Prepare the mac n' cheese as normal. Boil water and add mixed veggies for 4 minutes. Add to the mac n' cheese. Mix in the dollop of mayo with the tuna and add to the mac n' cheese. Mix it all together and enjoy the flavor explosion.

(If you don't have mixed veggies, tuna and mac n' cheese is also delicious. It takes mac n' cheese and hot dogs to the next level.)
---------------------------------------------------
Homemade Chicken Strips

3 Pieces of Chicken Breast Tenderloins, Halved Lengthwise
4 Egg Yolks
1/3 Cup milk
1 Sleeve Saltine Crackers
Cooking Oil

Start by crushing a sleeve of saltines over a piece of wax paper until the crumbs are fairly small. Next, mix the egg yolks into a bowl and slowly add milk until the color is a pale shade of yellow. Slice the chicken breast lengthwise and dip into the egg mix. Proceed to roll the chicken in the cracker crumbs until fully coated. Heat the oil to a medium temperature and fry the chicken strips until golden brown. Season to taste and take your mouth on a crispy adventure.
---------------------------------------------------
Poor Man's Quesadilla

1 Tortilla
1 Handfull of Shredded Cheese
Any condiment(s) or topping(s) of your choosing

Spread the shredded cheese over the tortilla and microwave for 30-45 seconds or until melty. Top with your favorite condiments and treat your taste buds to this quick snack.
---------------------------------------------------
Super Ramen

1 Package of Chicken Ramen
1 Chicken Breast Tenderloin
1 Egg

Grease a pan and fry the chicken -- season if you choose -- until golden brown. Chop the chicken into bite size pieces. Make the chicken ramen as normal. Add the chopped chicken. Cook an egg to your preference (scrambled, poached, over easy, etc.) and add to the ramen. Warm your soul with this take on an old college standby.
