The goal of Kit’s Kitchen is to provide college-friendly suggestions for all things food. This extends to all college students, regardless of dietary restrictions. So, I decided to do some research, both on the Internet and via my friends’ personal recommendations, to find budget-friendly restaurants in Boston that the gluten-free community can enjoy.

There is no right or wrong way to go about tea. Personal preference trumps all other opinions. Finding a good tea for you is the ultimate goal, whether it be for the health benefits or flavor profile. No one likes to get caught in the cold. A nice warm drink — a tea, perhaps — is the perfect remedy for the Boston winter.

Sometimes the media convinces us that we have to be perfectly aesthetic and “Instagram-worthy,” but I think that’s nonsense. Friendsgiving is about getting together with your friends and enjoying each other’s company. At the end of the day, having friends come together and show their gratitude for each other and their relationship is incredibly special to me. I do miss my friends from home, but I can’t wait to celebrate with the friends I have made here in Boston.

In the midst of studying, extracurriculars and work, good food is crucial for maintaining your energy and mood levels in college. It’s important to be conscious of your habits when it comes to buying and preparing food so you can sustainably make it through college, while enjoying good meals that don’t cost an arm and a leg.

Whether it’s learning how to make a dorm-friendly sweet treat or cooking on a budget, I hope to share some of the things I’ve learned about cooking in college. Hopefully, you can use these tips to connect with the people around you and enjoy some comfort food while you’re away from home. Even though I have access to a kitchen, I know most of you are working with just a microwave and mug. So, I’d like to share a dorm-approved version of my muffin recipe. These lemon blueberry mug muffins are sure to make your dorm smell like a bakery.
