What's in your fridge?

This time next week, students on campus are going to be packing up for a relaxing weekend filled with homemade Thanksgiving food, hilarious family arguments, and the overwhelming desire to loosen our belts after that second slice of pumpkin pie. Some of us may be lucky enough to already be stuck in terrible traffic on the bridge.

But what about all that food you have left in your refrigerator? Many would agree that leaving something to rot in the fridge over Thanksgiving break doesn't make for a pleasant welcome back Sunday night. Luckily, we've found a solution that doesn't involve bagging up your leftovers into the trash.

www.myfridgefood.com is the ultimate recipe generator that finds a delicious recipe for you posted by students like you (if you're in the "college corner" section) including only the ingredients in your fridge. Goodbye wastefulness, hello delicious meal. The Web site allows you to check off various beverages, condiments, dairy products, snacks and more and quickly whips up a recipe. The site offers easy recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and dessert, and lists the nutritional values for each dish.

Various dishes we've managed to generate using ingredients we discovered in our friends' fridges include warm baked apples, cheeseburger pies (don't knock it till you try it!), tuna quesadillas and tons of desserts made up of Jello, Oreos, M&Ms, marshmallows and any other sweet treat you can possibly add to a graham cracker.

So before you skiddadle home to give thanks around the dinner table this holiday season, take a peek into yours and your friends' fridges to find a great recipe - it's already there. Keep craving!
