Dorm Inspired Recipes

dorm inspired recipes

Elaborate meals are great. They look good, they taste good… but unfortunately, they’re not a sustainable reality for most home-cooked dinners. Unless you have 6 hours to kill, you likely don’t have the time to make complicated dishes. Additionally, those rare, organic ingredients are pretty pricey, and require kitchen equipment and skills beyond that even of your grandmother’s expertise!

I took the time to ask some of my favorite bloggers for easy, “dorm-room” recipes.

Not only are many of these vegan, gluten free, and allergy-sensitive, they require minimal time, money and equipment. If you like any, be sure to check out their blogs!

Whether you’re living in a college dorm, small apartment, or simply don’t have the time or interest to cook elaborate meals, these recipes are the ones for you!

Learn how to squat like VIM trainer Anna on our ✨N Learn how to squat like VIM trainer Anna on our ✨NEW✨Smith Machine! 

Here, Anna is doing a quad dominate narrow stance square done on the 0 degree smith machine:

1️⃣Bring feet in a narrow stance in line with hip. Feet close to bar but stil able to lean your own weight into bar (treating it like a hack squat). 
2️⃣Glute engagement is key. I generally like to come from a glute isolation movement to here so glute engagement is primed. Although quad dominate, glute engagement is what will keep general form. Think about controlling the movement with the glute, both up and down.
3️⃣Leg drive, leg drive, leg drive! Pressing entire foot through the ground, driving the glutes up.
4️⃣Come at least parallel to the ground. That’s all you need.
5️⃣ Load weight, control, push till failure!
