COLLEGE EATS THIS WEEK

Here is a glimpse into the yummy things I got to eat this last week! I usually make dinner and home or get something from a dining hall. But this week I go empanadas with friends and went to the halal cart on campus. My suite mates love to bake when they get the chance so I always get to sample yummy desserts! Good week with good eats!

... Read moreCollege life is often marked by unique culinary experiences that can be both enjoyable and practical. This week, I dined on flavorful dishes like chicken and rice from the halal cart, which is a staple for many students seeking quick and delicious meals. Empanadas shared with friends added a fun twist to my dinners, showcasing the diverse food options available on campus. Additionally, I enjoyed homemade banana desserts, highlighting the culinary creativity of my roommates. Incorporating convenient yet tasty options like those available at Trader Joe's, including their irresistible chicken and broccoli combination, further enhances the dining experience. Engaging with local food options not only satisfies cravings but also helps foster a sense of community among students eager to explore culinary delights. Whether it’s through trying out different international cuisines or participating in potluck dinners with friends, college meals allow for a variety of flavors and shared experiences. Exploring college food trends on platforms like Lemon8 can inspire others to try new recipes and share their own food adventures. Overall, this week was a reminder of how food plays a central role in bringing people together during the college experience.

I believe there should always be balance, both in food and in life. Variety is the spice of life so I love trying new things and still having fun while still eating foods that support and nourish. Some foods nourish the body, some foods nourish the soul, and some foods do both 🌱🌱🌱 #summerbod
