We're hosting a group of 4 college students overnight and serving breakfast tomorrow. I'd like to spoil them with snacks and breakfast but I'm not sure what's considered a favourite these days?
Anyone have ideas?
I'm setting them up in our rv, it has two queen beds plus two adult twin beds. I figured that way they can have their home away from home.
I thought I would stock the fridge up with water, pop, yogurt, and fresh fruit for snack options before they zonk out for the night.
I'll also have chips, popcorn, vegetables... And?
For breakfast I thought I would have a waffle bar with maple syrup, whipped cream and fresh fruit, yogurt, bagels, and bacon.
Am I way out to lunch or is there something I'm missing?

I loved breadsticks with cheese and marina dipping sauces. There was a little local restaurant near campus that sold a bag of six with both sauces and they were very inexpensive. We'd split the bag with friends for a study snack at least once a week.

My daughter is in college (18 yr. old freshman) and she would eat anything! My teen daughters love cheese/crackers/pepperoni, vegetable tray, fruit tray, any and all chips and cookies/candy. And they love everything you are serving! My girls are not picky at all.
Sounds like you have everything covered, and that is a lot so I'm sure they will all find something they like.
Can I come?

My freshman DD just came home for spring break with 5 friends. She wanted me to have pulled pork sandwiches ready the night they arrived at about 10. I wouldn't think of eating something that heavy so late, but college kids are just getting started that time of night. While they were here, I tried to make things that were like comfort foods that they don't get in the dorms. Of course, you can never go wrong with pizza.
Waffles for breakfast sounds perfect. I'm sure they'll enjoy whatever you do.

When I was in college anything that was homemade would have been heavenly. What you're describing sounds like perfection. Oh, I just thought, ice cream. With various toppings.
And, I just want to add, what an amazing blessing you'll be to these students. I seldom was invited to someone's home while in college, so it was a special treat. They will love you for it.

Popcorn and chips and salsa. In a pinch triscuts and salsa worked.
Coke (pop).
And mashed potatoes and gravy from KFC.
Those were my go to snacks.

I was thinking coffee and some flavored creamer for breakfast.

Popcorn, ice cream (only the good stuff).
I'd love a great donut for breakfast, but I also loved eating a big breakfast of eggs, potatoes, toast! Lol

When I was in college honestly all I wanted was good home cooking - but they eat anything  |

Favorite foods among the students working in my office are anything that isn't campus cafeteria food.

Sounds perfect! I have a kid that age. Only thing to add would be some dips for the veggies and the chips. |

They would probably be happy having real food!

That all sounds great!
When I went to college (in the dark ages) my go to snacks were popcorn, sour cream and onion potato chips and peanut M & Ms. The little campus store near my dorm used to run out of the peanut M & Ms during finals!

Well they're off to the next town and I think they enjoyed themselves. They're a group of college students travelling to various churches to promote their college.
Judging by all the food they ate, I'd say it was a hit! I had a meat tray prepared, it was wiped clean. Plus they ate a good amount of everything else.
I think they also really enjoyed having the rv to themselves for the night. My DH said the one guy was belting out tunes while getting ready so I'd say there was a level of comfort there, lol.
Thanks for the great tips everyone! Next time I'll order a pizza for a bedtime snack, love that idea!

In college when I wasn't calorie conscious, my favorite snack was a container of Ben and Jerry's with a side of grape Koolaid, but that's just because I didn't like soda at the time. My roommate said she and her mom and sister would each sit with a container, spoon and a pot holder too eat, so maybe Ben and Jerry's with pot holders and spoons :-)

How about I register for basket weaving 101 and come live at your house for a semester? |
