  For many of us, the college years are the first time we’ve ever needed to cook for ourselves. While some of us are able to get by on delivery pizza or dining hall meals, nothing comes close to a home-cooked meal. But without a full kitchen, little money to spend, and even fewer cooking skills, options are limited. And yes, we’ve been there, too! That’s why we’ve compiled five meal ideas you can make right in your dorm room. As long as you have a microwave and a mini-fridge, you can be the culinary expert on campus!

  During the US winter, we cannot get the typical "summer fruit." California, Florida, Arizona, Washington — no state can grow cherries or blueberries or grapes or peaches, plums or nectarines during January through April. That is why we have to rely on Chile to provide us fresh and tasty fruit in our coldest months. You’ll find grapes from Chile in our stores right now, and we’re here to help you learn all about grapes!
