Bon appetit.

Breakfast, Day 1: French toast

Scrambled eggs and bread is all that’s necessary for this classic breakfast dish.

Mix a few eggs — which can be purchased for about $1.50 for a dozen — together in a bowl, preferably one that’s wide and shallow. Heat a skillet to medium, coat both sides of a piece of bread in the egg, then cook it for two or three minutes on each side.

A loaf of bread costs about $1.50 and if you’re cooking for multiple people, you can keep the finished pieces warm by putting them in the oven until the rest is ready.

For a bigger appetite — try Texas toast, said Mike Morgan, co-owner of Blondie’s Barn, 5640 Marsh Road in Haslett.

“Thicker bread is fun,” he said.

For a kick, add cinnamon, vanilla or nutmeg to the egg mixture or top the finished product with anything from peanut butter to strawberry jam.

Lunch, Day 1: Baked cheesy potatoes

The name may imply that an oven is necessary, but don’t worry, dorm-dwellers, this can just as easily be made in the microwave. Potatoes can be purchased for about $2 for a five-pound bag. If you have the luxury of an oven, poke a few holes in the potato with a fork and wrap it in aluminum foil before baking it in the oven for about one hour at 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrapping a potato will allow it to trap moisture and steam, according to the Idaho Potato Commission. Putting a potato in the microwave for five minutes (not in foil) will taste the same as baking it in a lesser amount of time. After the potato is done, top it with a handful of shredded cheddar or melted Velveeta cheese, which can be purchased for about $3.50 per pack. Voila! You have your spud.

Dinner, Day 1: Hash brown casserole

While quick and easy to make, anything with the word “casserole” makes it sound like you really know what you’re doing in the kitchen.

Grocery stores such as Meijer usually have one-pound bags of pre-shredded hash browns, said Anthony Lagalo, the owner of Tony’s Restaurant, 350 Albert St.

But potatoes also can be shredded with a cheese grater, Lagalo said.

After beating about five eggs, mix together two cups of hash browns, a cup and a half of cheese and the eggs into a 9-inch pie pan. The dish should be finished in about 35 minutes in a 250-degree oven.

If a casserole sounds like too much, plain old hash browns are a good substitute.

While Tony’s, which goes through about 250 pounds of hash browns per week, uses a flat-top stove, hash browns can be cooked with margarine or butter in a frying pan as well.

“Cook it for about four minutes till golden brown,” Lagalo said.

Breakfast, Day 2: Omelet

An omelet is the new scrambled eggs — and it’s just as easy to make.

Crack and beat three eggs into a skillet on medium heat. When the egg is about 80 percent finished, Morgan said, flip it over and cook the other side.

Top with cheese, vegetables, meat or anything else your heart desires.

The “hangover special,” as Morgan calls it, which consists of chili, cheese and onions, is one of the most popular omelet dishes at Blondie’s.

“It’s a favorite on weekends,” he said.

Lunch, Day 2: Homemade macaroni and cheese

Impress your roommates and friends by making something other than what’s in that Kraft Foods Inc. blue box.

While elbow macaroni is the typical choice of shape for mac and cheese, any type of pasta can be used.

Kraft started introducing spiral-shaped macaroni to their lineup in 1975 and wheels in 1988, according to the company’s Web site. The character-shaped noodles started popping up on store shelves in the mid-‘90s.

Boil one box — typically 99 cents — of your favorite pasta until tender. After draining, pre-heat an oven to 250 degrees, put the pasta in a 9-by-13-inch pan and cover with a few handfuls of cheddar cheese.

For extra crunch, toast a few pieces of bread and crumble to make homemade bread crumbs to top the cheese. The dish will be finished in about 30 minutes in the oven or when the cheese is melted and bread crumbs are browned.

Dinner, Day 2: Toasted egg sandwich

Eggs don’t just have to be a breakfast food anymore. Toast two pieces of bread, scramble together three or four eggs and top it with a slice of American cheese, which can be purchased for about $2.50 for a pack. Enjoy.
