This week's menu is compliments of Birdie #1, who crafted a dorm-friendly Feeding My Ohana weekly menu from a combination of dorm food and a few items from the grocery store.
For all birdies out there far from the nest, this one's for you.

No more snow... Birdie #1 reporting from finally-warm again New England. Warm weather means it's bearable (and even nice) to be outside again, and walking to the grocery store is finally an option. Birdie does not do the whole “walking two miles in the snow just to get to a grocery store” thing.
Dorm food is great, but you can only eat mass produced meat and veggies for so long. So after months of stalking Mama Birdie’s blog, I decided to bring Feeding My Ohana to the dorm room.
Make-it-at-the-Dining-Hall Meatless Monday
Class ends at late, but making On the Fly Orzo Salad in a dining hall isn’t too hard. Delicious, no cooking and only assembly required.
Sandwich Tuesday
Great left over sandwich and some fruit from the dining hall. As a bonus, it was free cone day at Ben and Jerry’s.

Kale Chips and Laundry Water? Experimental Wednesday
Tried a new soup recipe off Buzzfeed and Kale Chips. Looks a little like pond water, but hey, it beats dining hall food.
Note from Ohana Mommy--It is very, very easy to make Kale Chips in a dorm. The soup includes beans, red onions, kale, ginger, vegetable broth and cilantro, and I make no claim on it.

Birdie rocks tofu! Tried and True Thursday
Tofu "Cubed" Steak. Tofu and Sriracha provided by the dining hall. Yes, you read that correctly. Tofu and Sriracha are regularly available items in a college dining hall. Added spinach as a bonus.
Fried Rice Friday
My (Poppa's) Fried Rice with left over rice from Thursday, plus whatever add-ins I can obtain from the dining hall.
Shout out to my Birdie family back home.
I miss you all (really, I promise), and can’t wait to see you this summer.
Have a good week all!
