2014 Dorm Decorating Ideas
Shopping for your dorm room can easily veer in one of two directions: a crazy mashup of tastes that doesn’t really go together, or so matchy-matchy that you seem one fluffy toilet-seat cover shy of becoming a Stepford Wife. We want to help, so we’ve culled some of the best advice we’ve heard over the years, […]
Collegiate Cook’s Nutella-Filled Birthday Cake
Happy 5th birthday, Collegiate Cook! In blog years, this site is practically a senior citizen. In college years, it’s probably still a semester or two away from graduation (perhaps perpetually a semester or two away). Several times over the past few years I’ve thought about shutting it down, passing the baton or evolving it into […]
Baked BBQ Pulled Pork Wontons
I always thought wontons were so difficult to make. Much too difficult for me. And then, I spotted them: A lone package of wonton wrappers near the produce section of Target for $1.79. For less than two bucks, I thought, why not? I can experiment. I can totally fail at making wontons, but hey, what if […]
The Special Chocolate Coconut Cookie
By Samantha Allen Sometimes people aren’t so good at making cookies for whatever reason—their flour is old, they set the temperature too high, they didn’t let the dough sit, or maybe they just had no clue what a sifter looks like.

Creamy Ranch Chicken Pasta
If this recipe seems like it’s gone too far — bacon + chicken + ranch seasoning + pasta, together in one bowl! — it’s because it has.

When Ogre Cakes Happen to Good People
At some point, it happens to everyone: That incredible dessert you couldn’t wait to make, that you salivated over as you gathered the ingredients for — just turns out to be a big, fat fail. Maybe it’s horrendously ugly, worthy of a spot on CakeWrecks; maybe you had to make a last-minute substitution (hey, a […]

Oven-Baked Cap’n Crunch Chicken Tenders
When you’re at Planet Hollywood, there’s really only one acceptable dish to order: Cap’n Crunch Chicken. The sweetness of the corn cereal breading! The savory chicken! It’s basically the entrée’s answer to salted caramel and chocolate-covered pretzels, a veritable, “hey, we can do the salty-sweet thing too.” It’s an ingenious combination, but it can also […]
