If you're looking to save time and money during an overnight stay in a motel room, a "home-cooked" meal can easily fit into your schedule and budget. If your motel is furnished with a mini-fridge and microwave, a satisfying meal is possible in minutes. Here are a few options.

Meals You Can Make in Your Motel

1. Baked Potatoes

Baked potatoes are an easy and affordable choice. All you need is to rinse a potato, poke it on all sides with a fork, and microwave it until the center is soft. Don't forget to stock your mini-fridge with your preferred toppings, such as bacon bits, shredded cheese, and sour cream for extra flavor. 

2. Rice

Supermarkets carry rice packets that require nothing but heat, a bowl, and water to prepare. Stick your bag of rice in a microwave-safe bowl, top it with tap water, and microwave it for as long as the box directs. You can eat the rice on its own or add it to other foods in your fridge, such as fresh vegetables or deli meat. Any leftovers can go in the fridge to be reheated or eaten cold later.

3. Omelet

A carton of eggs is affordable, and you can prepare as many as you want. Whisk an egg in a mug with a fork, and add water, milk, cheese, or whatever ingredients you typically add to an omelet. Microwave it for about a minute and enjoy.
