I have no interest in socializing at the end of the day. That's basically what I will be doing all day.
I was/am planning on packing an ice chest to take with me to the room for rent. I am not planning on using her fridge. I found out I have access to a fridge at work. and a microwave. BTW- the job is over 2 hours from my home in case I didn't say before.
As of last night I am looking at renting the smallest studio I have ever seen. But it will give me access to a stove and fridge. My mind set is not to bring anything carbby into my home away from home. If I keep LC things in the fridge at all times it will help me lose weight.
Thank you all for your suggestions. I'll take anymore that you've got. Oh and I have never used a toaster oven so I'd love to hear what to use that for!

You can bake anything in a toaster oven, provided it doesn't rise too much. Not all containers are suitable for that oven, though: some things which you can throw in a regular oven might melt in a toaster oven because they're plastic and too close to the heating element. If you transfer them to oven-safe ceramic, they do quite nicely.
I like to pre-heat the toaster oven a bit higher than the recipe recommended temperature, put in the food, then lower the temperature to the recommendation on the packaging. Because the appliance is small, it loses a lot of heat when you open the door. I use a timer. Sometimes the food takes a few minutes longer to heat than in a regular oven. |
