Campus care packages: yummy treats to send from home
When I lived in res at university, I always remember exam time. Not just for the stress, the cramming, and the all-nighters — but also for the amazing care packages my roommate Cathy got from her mom to “fuel our studies.” Cathy’s mom Cherry was a home economics teacher and, as you can imagine, everything in packed in that box was homemade and to die for!
My mom also knew when to send along my favorite treats. When I had just about enough of my usual staple – fries and gravy — from the res cafeteria. When I couldn’t stomach one more pepperoni pizza. When I longed for comfort food from home. And then the message comes that there’s a package waiting for me at the student post office. Sweet! I just knew I was getting a box full of yum!
Here’s some recipes for those homemade goodies. Give them a try and surprise someone with some love from home – you’ll definitely make their day!
With all that I’ll let you in on a little secret. When life gets in the way and you don’t have time to bake and send something, here’s a hack: call Campus Care Packages! I used them to deliver a box of goodies a few times to my son and he said it was great!
