Today, I bring you all a very special post from a very special friend of mine. You may remember her from a few posts this summer, so, without further adeiu, I bring you Sarah!
Okay, so I am not that used to writing a blog like this so, please, bear with me. For those of you who don’t know, F.B.I.T. stands for Food Blogger In Training. I work with Mara at camp during the summer, and we went out to eat many times this summer. During that time Mara and I talked about food and she said that I could (Mara’s note: and SHOULD), someday, become a food blogger myself! So, I guess here’s me trying!
I recently moved back to school, and this year I am living completely on my own. No roommates to deal with! However, now I really have to cook everything myself, and clean up after myself. Of course, like every college student, in my freezer I do have some frozen dinners, but try to use those in case of emergency when I need something extremely quickly before running out of the apartment again to go somewhere else.
I have all the essentials: elbow macaroni, rice, bread, margarine, milk, eggs. Then add in cheese, jam, and some packages of spaghetti-o’s and ramen, what more does a college student need? The answer is, a way to put things together that I find to be tasty and so that I don’t get bored. The obvious macaroni and cheese can tend to be a little repetitive when always done the same. I definitely like to switch it up, between the box mixes and then also switching up which kind of cheese I use. One time I may just use mozzarella, next it might be an American and Swiss kind of mix, guess it all depends on what type of cheese I want that day.
There is one thing, however, that I am very proud to say that I have created! It is by no means anything special, and has probably been done many, many times before. But I would like to believe I am creative because I did not get it from any recipe, nor any suggestions Mara may have given me. I guess it could be called a breakfast sandwich, but I never eat it at breakfast so, in my creativity, I am going to call it the “Breakfast Lunch Sandwich”.
In this fantastically named sandwich are the basic essentials in almost every college students apartment fridge; bread, margarine (or butter), jam, eggs, cheese. It’s simple! Toast the bread; spread with margarine then jam (I use raspberry preserves, it’s my fav!). Then, scramble the eggs, put in the cheese, then cook like normal scrambled eggs. Put eggs and cheese on top of toast with margarine and jam, and wah lah! Breakfast Lunch Sandwich has been made.
Very simple. Very fast. Very delicious. Very proud, of herself, college student! JHope you enjoyed my first blog. Hopefully I can come back again and share something new! J
See? She should blog, right?? I hope she’ll take our advice and start a blog of her own…
Have a great Thursday!

Oh, my god. That actually looks and sounds really, really awesome. At first I thought the eggs would go on the side, but… in the sandwich? Epic. If you had more time and money, you could even fry up some crispy bacon.

Great idea Sarah!! I totally think you should start a blog. I think it would be cool to see what kinda of things you could create while at school

Yes, please do everyone a favor, and blog. I promise you you’ll fall in love with it, Sarah!
You sound like you’re on the same boat as me. I have class everyday until 2pm, and by the time I get home I’m about to eat my arm. I’d love to hear more about your college staples, and dear me, do you have several diff kinds of cheeses like I do?! We’re gonna be great friends.
Great guest post Sarah! Love the idea of cooking college food – and hooray for no roomates!
Oh Sarah! I already love you to pieces, but you somehow got even cuter! I love the idea of a blog from a college student’s point of view. Food is a totally different beast in college. I say DO IT!!
btw…We make a very similar sandwich for dinner (never breakfast), but I never thought of putting preserves in it too. SOOOOO trying it next time!
Breakfast Lunch Sandwich? It sounds PERFECT! Love that idea.
Thanks everyone for the great reviews!!
Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll have enough time to start a blog of my own, yet! However, I do hope to be back up here sometime soon with another creative tasty meal!
