You're broke and you're hungry. Welcome to student life. This student thing is a recipe we've actually made, ate and survived. It's fast, cheap, and surprisingly good.

2 cloves garlic (or garlic powder)
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1/2 cup shredded cheese
Salt
Optional: herbs (dried parsley, oregano)

Optional: Sprinkle herbs and pretend you’re a chef. Eat proudly.
