Have a New Year's Resolution to eat healthy? UCSD hooks you up!

Yumm....The great thing about being back at UCSD is the food! Am I right people? Honestly I eat better while I'm at school than I do at home over break.

Why? Well it's all provided for you on campus. The selection of healthy and vegetarian options gets better everyday in my opinion.

Today was no exception. I checked out the Dining Events Calendar before I headed out to eat lunch.

Wednesdays are jam packed with good stuff!

At OVT they were celebrating Waffle Cone Wednesdays, and a Fajita Station that happens on the first and third Wednesday of January.

I strolled over to Cafe V with my roomie to see what they were working with. The first item to catch my eye was a delicious-lookin' Chile Relleno.

A chile relleno is like a lunch omlette because it's made with eggs. This meal got a UCSD upgrade because it's made with the cage-free eggs that are used campus wide. : )

The roasted chile inside was paired with onions, tomatoes, cheese, and herbs. Sooo good! 

I went ahead and got a side of veggies too. It was a meal that I hope is a repeat sometime soon.

F.Y.I Tritons.....
Every Wednesday this month is Fine Dining Dinner at Cafe V, and Fine Dining Lunch at Plaza in Revelle.

You've got the hook up! Enjoy : )

Foodworx, Fame, and more!

Howdy-ou-do guys!?

I hope all is going swell with midterms. if you need a break, check out the following:

The other day, I had the fine privilege of going into Foodworx. I was SO stoked on that place. First of all, it's rather large for a marketplace on campus. Second of all, it had AMAZING choices. I highly recommend Amy's burritos (you can locate them in the freezer section of any marketplace on campus). My favorite kinds are the Beans and Rice and the Indian Samosa wrap... mmmmm delicious! They are an absolutely easy dinner treat to make for friends having a late night study session at your place. The Marketplaces also have a fine variety of snacked goods. I happened to grab some vegan vanilla crackers which were amazing. They also have a great selection of Uncle Eddie's Vegan cookies which every vegan and non-vegan alike should try at least once in their life. (Incredible! I particularly enjoy the Molasses cookies.) Now that I am all excited about food... I have to mention that Foodworx offers a BBQ on the deck from 1-5pm every Saturday. Make sure to check that out tomorrow if you are around!

On another note, HDH has had another moment of fame! HDH Sustainability Manager Krista Mays talks "trash" with the city and SDSU on KPBS's These Days. Listen to the interview for yourself: http://www.kpbs.org/news/2009/nov/10/san-diego-landfill-makes-room-food-waste-recycling/

The San Diego Landfill is making room for UCSD's food waste to be recycled (i.e. composted)! This is truly something to celebrate. So keep on composting, friends.

This is such a great campus. Keep checking out all of the great Dining events here: http://hdh.ucsd.edu/diningservices/events.pdf as well as all of the student-org led events. Be aware and read signs around campus; you will really reap great rewards.

Peace and love,

Jessica

Get the Scoop! Check out the Dining Events Calendar!

Okay Foodies and Starving Students,

So I'm sure many of you have heard of Taco Tuesdays at off-campus places like El Torito.....

But are you familiar with Torta Tuesdays during November right here at UCSD? Yep! Every Tuesday, you can expect tortas (delicious Mexican sandwiches) at Canyon Vista (CV) on the Warren College campus.

How did I discover such crucial information?

I checked out the Dining Events Calendar, which you can access here:

http://hdh.ucsd.edu/diningservices/events.pdf

There's always something new and exciting happening in Dining! So check out the calendar, which currently has events posted for November, December, and January.

And fyi students...
Tomorrow (Thurs. 12th) is Nacho Day in all Dining restaurants, and Steak and Chop Night at Ocean View Terrace (OVT). Woohoo!

If you happen to check out either of these events tomorrow, let me know what you thought of them by contacting me at hwilhelm@ucsd.edu.

Enjoy ; )
