It's not just the little kids heading back to school next month, but college students as well. And after a summer spent chowing on mom's home cooking, many will find their school cafeteria's offerings to be somewhat lacking - not to mention unavailable for the late-night munchies. And when Ramen noodles and mac and cheese lose their appeal, what is a hungry college student to do?Parent Dish reader Alyssa pointed us to Chow.com, a great resource for dorm-cooking recipes and gadgets that will help spice up a college student's menu.

Find out what appliances are allowed in your kid's dorm and click here for a slide show of gadgets and a list of recipes that will make being away from home a lot more tasty.
