DORM COOKING
SIDE DISHES-
College Campus
When you're in college, there's usually a cafeteria with food. If you're tired of what they have, you can make a yummy sandwich instead. You can follow a recipe from this article or come up with your own special sandwich. Remember, having a bit of a different way of thinking can help you be really creative!
​
A good meal should include some veggies. You can grab bagged salads, which are easy and sometimes have toppings and dressing included. You can also find baby carrots and other fresh veggies in the grocery store—just make sure to wash them first. Even pre-cut bags need rinsing!
​
You can try making a small salad using ready-made salad kits. They come in lots of flavors—some have nuts, some have croutons—and they usually include dressing. To make it a full meal, add some yogurt, cottage cheese, or even some cooked meat.
​
If you want to add vegetables to your meal, you can use your microwave. Many grocery stores sell frozen vegetables that you just steam in the bag—easy and quick!
Cooking without a stove can be tricky, but you're ready for it! What new food fun can you try as a college student?

Remember, cooking in your dorm doesn’t have to be boring! Use your creativity and make it exciting!
SUMMER SAFETY TIPS FOR KIDS WITH ADHD-
Education K-12
You want your child to grow up safe, confident, and able to do things on their own. Teaching them simple safety rules can help slow down their quick impulses and keep them out of trouble.

Kids with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) often act without thinking, which can sometimes put them in risky situations. When kids have a lot of free time, like during summer break or holidays, they might be more likely to act on impulse. By following some basic safety tips, you can help your child stay safer while enjoying their free time.
​
For your child to make good choices, they need enough sleep. Make sure they sleep well and regularly. Kids with ADHD tend to think more clearly and act less impulsively when they are well-rested.
