There comes a time in all students’ lives when — due to schoolwork, lack of access to a kitchen, being broke or being a freshman — they just can’t be bothered to cook. Besides sneaking Tupperware into the dining halls, donning business wear to infiltrate Kellogg brunches and participating in a different dinner-and-worship service every night of the week, utilize these easy dorm recipes to keep your body operating at high capacity.

RamenIt’s easy to make in a microwave and

particularly tasty with Sriracha sauce. No microwave? Break it into small pieces and consume it with milk, as if it were cereal.

OatmealHealthy microwavable food. For an

extra kick, toss in a handful of Skittles. No water or microwave? Pour the oat-meal straight into your mouth and let your saliva work its magic.

Jelly on crackersEveryone knows a peanut butter and

jelly sandwich is the most convenient dorm food. But for some reason jars of jelly are always larger than jars of peanut butter, so what better way to account for a jelly surplus than to smear it on crackers?

Sun-baked cookiesTake advantage of the beautiful

weather to put some cookie dough on a sheet of tin foil and let it bake under a window. Invoke that childhood sadism and employ a magnifying glass to really focus the sun’s rays.

S’moresGraham crackers, bite-size Hershey’s

chocolate bars, giant marshmallows. Lighter.

QuesadillasMake them as basic or flamboyant

as desired, but with a microwave you could melt a slice of Kraft cheese in the center of a tortilla and then add various salsas, lettuce and shredded lunchmeat. Fold over and consume.

Mac-and-cheese burgerAcquire Easy Mac and follow direc-

tions to cook a packet in the micro-wave. Apply the macaroni and cheese to burger buns.

English muffin pizzasMake a handful of tiny pizzas by

slathering English muffins with pizza sauce, shredded cheese and any number of optional toppings. Microwave for two minutes.

Spaghetti soupBreak spaghetti into pieces small

enough to fit in a bowl, add just enough water to submerge the noodles and microwaves for two minutes. Then heat up a can of Campbell’s tomato soup and add the noodles to the soup. It’s like a spaghetti dish, only you can drink it.

Heavenly HashCollect a variety of fruits and dice

them. Mix in marshmallows, gelatin and generous amounts of Cool Whip.

Easy, no-cook snack foods for your dorm or apartment

By LaurEn CaruBathe daily northwestern

Best place to take your parents: Koi, 624 Davis St.

Serving both Chinese and Japanese cuisine, Koi has a variety of foods on its menu, from sushi to curry. A bit on the pricey side, Koi is a better destina-tion for family meals, when parents pick up the bill and there’s the opportunity to share appetizers and entrees. Plus, when weather permits, the restaurant opens the large windows in its front lounge to let in a breeze, adding to the ambiance.

Take advantage of both menus by order-ing the miso soup and the chicken Kung Pao plate, which comes out to about $15 for an individual.

Best place to eat alone: Cosi, 1740 Sherman Ave.

Cosi, a sandwich-soup-salad-pizza chain known for its flatbread and fresh ingredients, is a quick and tasty choice for busy students who still want a decent sit-down meal under $10. With an atmosphere similar to that of Panera Bread — lounge chairs, counters and free Wi-Fi — diners can multitask and complete work while they eat without

feeling uncomfortable. Cosi can be a good option for students who want to grab a quick bite without having to default to the dining hall. Get the most out of your meal by opting for the “Cosi Duo” taste two option, choosing from a half sand-wich, a half salad and a cup of soup for about $8. The pesto chicken melt with a Greek salad on the side comes highly recommended.

Best place to take a significant other: Cozy Noodles & Rice, 1018 Davis St.

Looking for an interesting place for date night? The whimsical quality surrounding

this Asian noodle joint hails from its dec-oration scheme. Antique toys like bobble heads and action figures line shelves in its main room, and an adjoining room features a collage of license plates from every state. The uniquely adorned walls will provide plenty of interesting con-versation material, as will the good food. An inexpensive establishment, checks can also be easily split if you want to go Dutch. Start with the cucumber salad for a light and tangy start to the meal, and go with the classic Pad Thai for the main event, all for under $10.

P E N S I E R O – E V E R Y DAY I TA L I A N Located in the historic Margarita European Inn

By Izzy BoncImInothe daily northwestern

It’s that time of year again — welcome in the skin-scorching spring rays and the promise of guilt-free locally grown foods from Evanston’s own farmers’ markets.

But what to buy, and when? Without the know-how, farmer’s markets can shred your wallet as easily as the average produce section. You don’t have to settle for grainy Jewel-Osco apples and wilted celery, nor deplete your money with the infamously expensive Whole Foods death trap.

First off, divorce your preferences and buy what’s on sale at the moment. If you want to catch the best deals, go really late or really early. You have a chance to get the best products — the

freshest and most competitively priced — before the market gets busy. At the end of the day, ven-dors often drastically slash their prices to sell their wares before they go bad. Some package up boxes with the day’s leftovers for a lump sum, while oth-ers simply discount products on their tables. Sales are your friend, so strike while the iron is hot.

If you’re looking for something in particular, you have no choice but to purchase at the pres-ent price. For poor college kids, flexibility is key. Buying in bulk and freezing the extra will go a long way too, but be smart about it. Do you have the freezer space? Do you have the freezer space but your roommate will kill you if you use too much of it? If all else fails, bulk purchases are perfect house meal options — the more people you cook for, the cheaper it tends to be per hun-gry mouth.

For a smorgasbord of farm-fresh fruits and veggies, head to the Downtown Evanston Farm-ers’ Market, at the intersection of University Place and Oak Avenue, with big bags and small change. (Only newbies bring paper or plastic bags, and most vendors will judge you for it. The same applies for credit cards and large bills.) With 51 vendors, you’ll find everything from arugula to zucchini. For May through June, go for aspara-gus, kale, peppers, raspberries, rhubarb, scallions, herbs, radishes, leeks and strawberries. These are likely to be on sale, as opposed to vegetables likely to be around all summer like broccoli, beets, car-rots, chard, cilantro, herbs, lettuce, parsley, spin-ach, tomatoes and mushrooms.

You’ll also find pasture-raised poultry, organic and grassfed dairy products, meat and plenty of artisan bakery items, including gluten

free products, honey and flowers. Kinnikinnick Farm sports organics at the Downtown Evanston Farmers’ Market, along with Lake Breeze Organ-ics, but the Central Street Green Market, at the intersection of Central Street and Stewart Street, features all-organic produce for the chemical-phobic among us.

If you’re too hung over on Saturday or Sunday morning to get your green on, Evanston’s only midweek farmers’ market — Ridgeville Market — has hipster-approved coffee, bakery items, fruits and vegetables on Wednesday afternoons. The market is located at the intersection of Ridge Avenue and South Boulevard.

Use that Northwestern brain for something other than stats — go local!

Welcome the Class of 2016 to CAMPUS!

By cat zakrzewskIthe daily northwestern

With the beautiful weather we’ve been having, there is no better place to celebrate the end of spring quarter than the lakefill. Whether you’re there catching some sun with friends or just looking for a change of scenery from the library during reading week, a picnic with friends or a special someone certainly beats the dining halls.

When planning a picnic, think simple and summery. It’s hot out, and no one wants a heavy meal. For most picnics, sandwiches are the ideal main course. They are simple to prepare and easy to eat outdoors. Even a simple peanut but-ter and jelly sandwich or BLT will taste more delicious by the lake than when you’re rushing to class, but if you want to get more creative, check out the recipes on the Food Network’s website for picnic main courses, such as corn on the cobb salad wraps. In a large salad bowl, toss romaine, corn and watercress. Then add chicken, prosciutto, tomatoes, egg yolks and whites and avocado. Add Blue Cheese Dressing,

and divide into tortillas and fold into wraps.Once you’ve gotten past the main course,

it’s all about the salads, whether you choose to make them with greens or pasta. You can stick to crowd-pleasing classics like a Caesar salad, or go out of your comfort zone and try some of the popular salad recipes, like the Easy Raspberry Salad on allrecipes.com. Simply toss mixed salad greens, fresh raspberries, jicama, sliced almonds and raspberry vinagrette in a large bowl. If pasta salad, a picnic tradition that is a little more dif-ficult to prepare in a dorm room, is more your style, check out the recipes for 27 different pasta salads compiled by Better Homes and Gardens. Try the Greek spinach-pasta salad. Just toss together spinach, feta cheese, olive oil, lemon, pasta, canned beans and a handful of spices.

Most importantly as you pack your picnic basket, don’t forget some cool, refreshing drinks. Iced tea and lemonade, whether you choose to purchase one of the many varieties offered in the C-stores or make your own, will be more refreshing than ever after a long walk to the lakefill on a humid day.

Torta Di Cioccolata — Bravo! Cucina Italiana, 1701 Maple Ave.

Ask to see the dessert menu and your waiter will bring you a tray of treats. While the chocolate chip bread pudding and tiramisu are tempting, it’s the torta di cioccolata that’s to die for. � is isn’t your ordinary chocolate cake with some ice cream on the side. � is dessert will take your taste buds on a trip to Italy. Picture this: a moist chocolate cake sits in the middle of a creamy vanilla bean sauce. Your fork cuts easily into this delicate, warm cake, only to have a rich chocolate � lling slowly ooze out. � e vanilla bean gelato on the top sinks down and gradually soaks into the molten cake, adding a complementary cool bite to the richness. A drizzling of chocolate sauce � nishes o� this perfectly sized treat.

Red Velvet Cake — Bat 17, 1709 Benson Ave.

� ough Bat 17 is the place to go for juicy burgers and tall beer towers, the dessert case in the back should not be missed. What stands out from all the rest — with its towering height and deep red color — is Bat 17’s red velvet cake. Every slice is a generous serving of three layers of silky red velvet cake separated with cream cheese icing. � e sweet icing pairs perfectly with the mild chocolate cake. A delicate dusting of red velvet cake pieces covers the outside frosting.

— Ariel Yong

Le Peep, 827 Church St. Known for its delicious food fresh off the

griddle or the skillet, Le Peep is a fantastic place to take your family and friends. The pancake flavors are a delightful combination of sweet, gooey and crunchy, boasting mixings such as blueberry and granola, cranberry almond and banana walnut. Not feeling up for breakfast? No problem. Le Peep offers a variety of lunch options, ranging from Da Cheezy Beef sandwich featuring roast beef and cheese melted on Texas toast to a sandwich topped with spinach, turkey and melted swiss cheese. Le Peep opens bright and early at 6:30 a.m. on the weekdays and 7 a.m. on the weekends, so rise and shine and get on over for a hearty meal.

Dixie Kitchen & Bait Shop, 825 Church St.

Dixie Kitchen & Bait Shop is the place to go if you’re in the mood for some southern cuisine. � e weekend brunch menu, served from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., has a variety of token southern dishes to choose from, including country steak and eggs, cat� sh and eggs, Cajun biscuits and jambalaya omelets. If you’re more suited to a lunch option, try a po’boy sandwich with shrimp, oyster or cat� sh, or a mini southern sampler that includes red beans, gumbo and jamba-laya served with rice. With so many delicious options to choose from, ya’ll need to come on down and try a little Dixie cookin’.

— Jillian Sandler

CVS, 1711 Sherman Ave.After shopping for the hot-

test new summer looks in E-town, you’re probably running a little low on cash. Stop by CVS for an Arizona Arnold Palmer . � ey’re never more than 99 cents, and sometimes you can even get two for the price of one. It’s 32 ounces of quality, dirt-cheap refreshment.

Kafein, 1621 Chicago Ave.If you’re looking to boost your

hipster cred, there’s only one place to go. Kafein boasts the Cadillac of NU-area lemonade. � e Fruity Lem-onade ($2.75), mixed with various fruit � avors, can’t be beat.

NorbucksPerfect for an hour spent reading on the

Lake� ll, Norbucks’ iced Tazo Tea lemonade avoids one of the classic pitfalls of lemonade: being too sweet. It won’t give you the energy boost of some of the sweeter drinks, but if you frequent Norbucks, you’ve got plenty of ca� eine already. Drop the $2.95 on the venti so you’re not le� with a plastic cup of ice a� er three quick sips.

For an on-the-go Starbucks treat, grab the new Strawberry Lemonade Refresher. Not only will it quench your thirst, but this sparkling juice drink also contains green co� ee extract for a natural energy boost.

— Joseph Diebold

Harold’s Chicken, 6952 N. Clark St. As a native Chicagoan, Harold’s has a special

place in my heart and in my childhood. Packed with a bevy of fries and a small side of coleslaw, these wings easily � y high at the top of the pack. What makes the di� erence are an impeccably seasoned batter and a tangy mild sauce.

Buffalo Joe’s, 812 Clark St. Paired with extra ranch sauce and a side of

buffalo chips, a 12-piece order of spicy wings from Buffalo Joe’s is a sure treat. But there’s something for everyone with other options for mild, barbecue and even jalapeno-loaded sui-cide sauce. Though the size of the wings veer on the smaller side, they pack a punch of both meat and flavor. When it comes to hot wings, Buffalo Joe’s stands head and shoulders above local competitors, including many Chicago establishments.

Wings Over Evanston, 1115 Emerson St.

While not the best with bone-in wings, Wings Over Evanston consistently masters the art of boneless chicken. � e variety of sauces and dry rubs proves mind blowing while glancing the

menu. You’d be hard pressed to � nd better wa� e fries in the area, especially their cajun-� avored o� ering. � e meal may be a bit overpriced, but you’ll be well satis� ed if you’re a fan of boneless.

Lulu’s, 804 Davis St. � is isn’t a wing place per se, but one of their

menu items is most deserving of a shout out. Hav-ing had the spicy chicken wings multiple times, what brings me back is the balance between the crispy batter and the tenderness of the meat. Combined with the sweet sesame and chili pepper glaze, these small drumsticks make a delectable treat. Lulu’s spicy chicken wings are great a la carte, and even better combined with other dim sum menu items.

Evanston Chicken Shack, 1925 N. Ridge Ave.

A crowd favorite with townies and North-western students alike, Chicken Shack on Ridge near Emerson is a classic greasy spoon joint that keeps crowds coming back for more. � e crispi-ness of the batter wins the day with these wings, for me.

— Derrick Clifton

As a procrastinator and insomniac, I have ample reason to be familiar with the Evanston late-night dining options. And by common consensus, they suck.

There are several places to grab a proper meal in a restaurant after 10 p.m. Bluestone, the Celtic Knot, Union Pizzeria, Buffalo Wild Wings and Clarke’s Diner are all open until midnight, and later on weekends. All the bars in town are also open until at least midnight.

But Northwestern kids are more likely to be studying than partying on most nights. So, we’re going to focus on places to grab a bite when you’re working on that paper you should’ve started sooner.

Your options are relatively open before mid-night. The Plaza Cafe in University Library does a ton of business, especially between 11:45 p.m. and its closing time at midnight, but it’s better to go earlier, as it gets pretty picked over by the end. I have never been to the I Dream of Sweets coffee shop myself, but its Noyes loca-tion makes it a go-to option for those who don’t live all the way on South Campus.

If you just need a plain ol’ store and don’t mind walking, Jewel-Osco is open until mid-night. The various (and expensive) C-stores are open until 11:30 p.m., and Andy’s Frozen Custard is open until 11:30 p.m. or so.

Taco Bell, Subway and Philly’s Best each have their niche carved out in the late-night student population.

Gigio’s Pizza, near the Metra stop, is cheap and greasy and gets the job done. Greek Fire & Grill near Whole Foods is a Greek place that is relatively cheap and extremely underappreciated.

Until 2 a.m., you still have a few options, but the field is getting narrow. Kafein has many loyal followers among those who want a place to study late without going to the library. J K Sweets is a cult favorite next to Clarke’s that serves everything from Asian cuisine to Edy’s ice cream.

Papa John’s and Sarpino’s are both open after two. If you’re craving pizza, go for Sarpino’s, since it has a discount.

After that, well, there’s only Burger King and our two beloved 7-Elevens.

If you managed to stay up the whole night, and still have no plans of sleep, head to Ein-stein Bros Bagels or Starbucks for a quick pick-me-up, both of which open at 5:00 a.m. The rest of the coffee houses open around 6:00 a.m., at which point you should head over to Dixie Kitchen & Bait Shop Restaurant for the $5.50 breakfast specials to reward yourself for effectively kicking your sleep habit. Just don’t fall asleep in your eggs.

Moral of the story: If you know you’re going to be staying up late, get your snacks before 10:00 p.m. Otherwise, you’re kind of screwed.

Northwestern students have the privilege of high-end Evanston dining, but also its direct con-trast: junk food. Whether you are up until 4 a.m. studying for economics, feel like eating your feel-ings or just want to soak up dorm life, here are some tasty junk food options on campus.

Sbarro’s pizza If you missed dinner or developed a mid-

evening greasy, salty food craving, head over to Sbarro’s pizza in Norris University Center for a two-for one-deal, redeemable only from 8:50 to 9 p.m on weekdays. You and a friend can split the cost, or in a true junk food gorging nature, eat them both yourself.

Fran’s Cafe burritos These may not be the epitome of authentic bur-

ritos, but the chicken or beef wrapped in shred-ded lettuce, Mexican cheese, sour cream and flour tortilla is a lovely kicker during late-night study cramming. They’re also a great substitution for Sarpino’s Pizza when stumbling back home from north campus on a given week night.

Tech Express hot dogs You may not be a McCormick scholar, math or

astronomy whiz, but these hot dogs reduce even the smartest mechanical engineer into a groveling, mouth-watering beast. I am not talking barbecued hot dogs from Aldi that some fraternity pledge grills for a philanthropy event. If you close your eyes and tap your toes three times, you can imagine yourself on the streets of Wrigleyville, nabbing a Chicago dog from a stand before the start of a baseball game.

Garden Salsa Sunchips and red pepper hummus

This calculated combination of taste-bud awak-ening spices is portable and accessible in many places, including the Norris C-store, Lisa’s Cafe and 7-Eleven. Share the mix with your friends in a dorm and watch it disappear within seconds, or hoard it to yourself and still watch it disappear within seconds.

Chocolate chip muffins at the University Library Plaza Cafe

When you reach that 11:30 p.m. studying slump, nom on something sweet. The chocolate chip muffins have a diameter of your palm and the density of a brick. The sugar high will last you at least until 2 a.m., when anyone’s brain would be useless anyway.

Meghan white/Daily senior staffer

Meghan white/Daily senior staffer

By Meghan Morristhe daily northwestern

As finals week approaches, campus dietician The-resa Laurenz, gives advice on how to stay nutritious while studying.

What are the best ways to eat around finals time?

Always pay attention to hunger signals. Often, espe-cially during finals and end-of-the-year projects, we tend to eat because we’re stressed and not because we’re actually hungry. Take breaks when you study. Be in an environment that doesn’t have a ton of food around, and don’t eat when you’re studying. You’re not going to get much good studying done if you’re trying to study all throughout the day. Your brain doesn’t work that well. You need to take breaks, so you might as well take breaks and have food separate from studying.

How should students avoid calorie traps at Norbucks or other coffee shops?

If you’re at Norris, I would recommend going to the actual Norris store and picking out something that’s a reasonable snack. If you’re eating a scone or having a sugary drink, your blood sugar’s going to shoot up and come straight back down, and you’re going to have even a harder time concentrating. If you just want a snack, grab a fruit and a yogurt.

If you need a boost, I would recommend green tea or coffee. Add your own sugar, because you would be surprised at how many packets of sugar you would have to add to equate to the amount of syrup pumps. If you add 1-2 packets of sugar, you won’t even be having a quarter of what they add. Lattes are nice because it gives you a little bit of protein with the milk in there so it’s going to make you feel more satiated for longer. Coffee and

green tea are going to be your best bets because they have antioxidants that will keep your immune system up, especially if you’ve been lacking sleep, unlike energy drinks that won’t have as many antioxidants.

Steer clear of scones. They are not a snack, they’re a dessert. Don’t kid yourself. If you have a scone and a caramel machiatto, you’re having two desserts, and I’m a firm believer in one dessert a day. If you know you’re going to want to eat the scone, why are you studying at Norbucks? Go find somewhere else to study where it’s not that tempt-ing to be around.

How can students prepare for daylong music festivals, like Dillo Day or Lollapalooza?

Make sure you’re having actual water through-out that entire day. If you’re starting to feel thirsty, you’re already dehydrated. Eat a solid meal, don’t just snack throughout the day.

What are the best things to eat at summer barbecues?

Barbecues can be pretty nice if done the right way. Even if you do have that hotdog, pair it with roasted vegetables seasoned with olive oil and salt. When you’re going to barbecues, be the one who offers to bring vegetables as a side dish. You’re less likely to eat two or three hot dogs if you pair it with a vegetable salsa or roasted vegetables. A lot of people don’t think about it, but hamburgers are bet-ter. There’s a lot less salt and it’s less processed.

How should students best navigate cooking on their own in the summer?

Make a grocery-shopping list based off of your meals. Look at your schedule and figure out when you’re going to have time to cook and how much food you need. People overbuy if they don’t have a shop-ping list, and food goes to waste and food seems really expensive, then they complain that eating healthy is really expensive.

What are some food traps at home, and how can students avoid them?

You’re probably going to eat less dessert if you’re forced to go out, versus if it’s there. Set things up and put barriers between you and the food. Put the cook-ies away, but don’t put the cookies on your eye-level cabinet shelf. We’re three times more likely to choose the first thing we see. Instead, maybe put the cookies on a high shelf in the back and open the fridge to see yogurt, fruit or carrots.

How can students take advantage of seasonal fruits and vegetables?

Even now, you’re starting to see a lot of dark, leafy vegetables that are delicious. Farmers’ markets are open now.The berries now are going to be a lot better, and even some veggies. We had kale the other day (in the dining hall). The fruits and vegetables will be bet-ter quality. Even if we have strawberries in the winter, they’re not as good quality. Please eat up.

The best beats for tasty eats: What to serve up this summer

Healthful, veggie picnicking foods for days on the LakefillAs you find yourself in the homestretch of the school year, desperately trying to balance Lakefill tanning time with studying, you may be reaching for late night snacks or a picnic basket to take to the beach. With a few vegetarian and vegan recipes, you can choose healthier munchies for studying time while making sure you keep your swimsuit figure.

Hummus WrapOn-the-go: Zion I and a wrapSummer brings sunny skies, long days and

lots of time for driving. You’re free from the responsibilities of school and the constraints of living on a campus. What better way to spend your long summer days than coasting down country roads and city streets, blasting music with your friends. And while you’re at it, you might as well grab some food on-the-go. While your toasting in the sun in your mom’s sweet convertible, listen to “Coastin’” by Zion I and enjoy the drifter’s delight of a wrap. For those of you who are more ambitious, grab a burrito. Otherwise, a veggie and cheese wrap is cool enough for the summer sun and easy to eat in the car — or to use as a microphone.

Summer grilling: Suzie Q and barbecue

If you don’t spend a day manning the grill this summer, you will miss out on the quint-essential summer cookout experience. Com-plement your perfectly cooked home-style

mesquite chicken and grilled veggies with a lovely woman and upbeat tunes. Bring “Suzie Q” to the barbecue, and rock out to Creedence Clearwater Revival as you munch with your neighbors, friends and family at a backyard barbecue.

Poolside treat: Bob Marley and Gazpacho

When you’re chilling on the beach or by the pool, reggae is a given. Listen to the king, Bob Marley, and “Stir It Up” — the gazpacho that is. Marley must have had gazpacho in mind when writing this tantalizing tune. The chilled soup of tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and onion certainly fits Marley’s description. Listen to him sing “Quench me when I’m thirsty/come on and cool me down, baby, when I’m hot/ your recipe is, darlin’ , is so tasty/ when you show and stir your pot” while you enjoy the refresh-ingly chilling sensation the soup gives you as you sip it in the sun.
