The term “girl dinner” simply refers to arranging random foods and snacks into a meal when you can’t be bothered to do much else. It’s been compared to charcuterie boards since the ingredients are pretty much the same, but “girl dinner” is much less aesthetically pleasing and more low-maintenance.

Olivia Maher, who coined this term and put it on the map, explained that she doesn’t feel like putting too much effort into her dinner during her solo nights inside because she lives alone—and that’s how she came up with the idea for this trend.

“More pots and pans equate to more dishes to clean, and I don’t really need to impress anyone with my fancy cooking skills. I think that many women are collectively acknowledging that easy, low-effort dinners like cheese plates and snacky items are a way to decompress after a long day,” she told Insider.

The definition of “girl dinner” is pretty broad, and everyone can include ingredients of their choosing, from cheese and salami to fruits, veggies, and nuts. At this core, this trend is cozy and comforting, as long as you don’t pay too much attention to what other people are eating and just have fun with your favorite comfort foods.

Baked Oats

If you’re looking for a way to take your oatmeal to the next level, baked oats are just the thing you need. If you don’t have an oven in your dorm, a microwave will do the trick.

Butter Boards

You can easily put together all kinds of charcuterie boards from the comfort of your dorm room and that’s certainly the case with butter boards, one of TikTok’s leading food trends this year.

Pesto Eggs

If you’re already making eggs and toast from the comfort of your dorm, pesto eggs won’t give you any trouble since they only contain one extra ingredient: pesto sauce.

Custard Toast

Toast trends are pretty easy to recreate, even with limited resources and that’s certainly the case with TikTok’s custard toast.

Green Goddess Salad

You can easily make all sorts of salads in your dorm, including the trendy green goddess salad. It’s topped with a tasty dressing, usually made with pesto, basil, spinach, garlic, shallots, lemon, olive oil, nuts, rice vinegar, and seasoning.

Be Picky

TikTok is giving us so many food trends these days that it’s impossible to find time to try all of them, so be picky when making your choice. Stick to trying recipes that seem truly delicious. Even if the food you make isn’t extremely healthy, there’s nothing wrong with having it every once in a while.

Smaller Portion

One of the best ways to keep any food a little bit healthier is to keep your portions small. Whether you’re making baked feta pasta or putting together a butter board, try to practice moderation because it’s the best way to keep your food consumption on the healthy side.

Switching Things Up

TikTok recipes come in handy, but who said you have to blindly follow them? Hot chocolate bombs and triangle tortilla wraps may not be healthy, but you can make them a little bit better by switching up the ingredients—and they might taste even better this way!
