I feel like my blog title may need a little bit of an explaination. The inspiration came from the phrase born with a silver spoon in your mouth ; however, since my blog is about STUDENT living, there are usually no silver spoons in sight.
The Plastic Spoons is a blog about eating , not necessarily fine dining or haute cuisine (although I do make attempts). I wanted to make my blog relateable, and thus the title was born.
Although I do not plan on stuffing a turkey any time soon, I am going to tackle home-made pad thai next , so stay tuned!

I missed dinner
Due to my tuesday night class begining at 6:30, I regularly skip out on eating enough before hand (I know, tsk tsk) and usually resort to some sort of midnight snack once my hunger sets in.
Thus here are my top 5 favourite (and not-so-healthy) midnight snacks
5. Bowl of cereal - Probably the easiest and most in-expensive item on this list
4. Peanutbutter and Jelly Toast - I'm starting to notice a breakfast theme
3. Mac & Cheese - more to come about my obsession
2. Hummous and carrot- we need something healthy on this list, afterall
1. drum, roll, please..... GRILLED CHEESE - the ultimte midnight snack

Chef Alicia ....sort of
Hello Blogosphere!
Since this is my first official post on The Plastic Spoons, I feel that introducions are in order.
I am a third year student at the University of Western Ontario, in the Media, Information & Technoculture program and I am writing this blog as a class project.
I have chosen to write my blog about life as a student, and specifically learning to feed myself with endless budget, time and skill constraints !
That being said, I would like to release a short disclaimer. I am not a professional chef or nutritionist, so despite the fact that I will be sharing my trials and tribulations with the WWW, do not take my experiences as final word.
I plan to blog about my favourite recipes, my own creations, some health concerns facing students, budgeting for groceries. I want to make them fast, simple and stretch your dollar as far as possible.
I can't promise that everything will turn out perfect, but I sure hope it will at least be entertaining!
Stay tuned to what I'll stir up this semester
