Don't worry, no trifles included
It's the time of year to be thankful for the people and things we have in our lives....and to eat absurd amounts of food.
Friendsgiving week is in full swing, so we thought we'd help you decide what you're going to bring to your friends' potluck. Of course, we know that you may not have a full kitchen with an oven, so here are some recipes that you don't need to bake! Bon appétit!
Appetizers
Avocado bean dip
This can be served with veggies or chips (but, let's be honest...you'll want to serve it with chips).
Thanksgiving on a Triscuit
A Triscuit topped with turkey, Brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce is easy to make, and tastes like a bite-sized Thanksgiving.
Cucumber bites
Cream cheese, smoked salmon, and dill make these look like they took a lot of effort, even though they didn't! Definitely mini-fridge compatible.
Nacho cheese ball
It's like the college version of the one your mom always made. Everything is better with Doritos!
Side dishes
Microwave mashed potatoes
Obviously the most important part of Thanksgiving! And all you need is your tiny microwave!
Parmesan herb spaghetti squash
Easily make in a microwave, but definitely tastes like a home recipe!
Microwave mug mac & cheese
A classic side dish that you can make one mug at a time in your microwave!
Brussels sprout slaw with apples and pecans
A little healthier, but still just as yummy! This doesn't need any baking, but is a little complex ingredients-wise. For advanced dorm chefs only!
Desserts
No-bake pumpkin cheesecake
I have ACTUALLY made this one in a tiny on-campus apartment with great success!
Pumpkin pie icebox cake
This has just a few ingredients and doesn't need to be baked. Win win!
No-bake Reese's peanut butter bars
Um WOW where has this been all my life?
Pumpkin pie ice cream with salted caramel sauce
Sorry for the abundance of pumpkin, but what did you expect?
No-bake butterscotch fudge
Easy, few ingredients, and YUMMY.
Cocktails/mocktails
Apple cider bellini
Sparkly, appley, and pretty! Plus, it only has 3 ingredients!
Pomegranate orange punch
Embrace pomegranate season while you can, everyone!
Apple cider mimosas
I didn't think mimosas could get better until now!
Orange cranberry spritzer
This is actually already a mocktail, but could be made into a cocktail!
Cranberry margaritas
Can't go wrong with festive margs!
