UNPLUGGED @ OVT

Thurgood Marshall College is hosting an open mic night starting at 8:30PM at OceanView Terrace. Grab your friends and head over to enjoy your fellow UC San Diego peers debuting their musical talents!

OVT will also stay open late so you can satisfy your late-nite hunger strikes. Just a few tips from your RD: if you haven’t had dinner, I recommend the grilled chicken sandwich or black bean burger off the grill. Both are excellent sources of lean protein that will keep you feeling fuller longer.

If your sweet tooth is a-yearning, then try the specialty pies served just for tonight’s event. OVT has a wide selection sure to meet your fancy…apple, cherry, peach, mixed berry & blueberry! Hey…berries’ have antioxidants…right J!

Be sure to post your pictures from tonight’s event on the TasteBud Facebook page and leave a comment here as to your indulgence for the night. Remember, balance and moderation are key to healthy living in college, so enjoy a slice worry-free!

 

Next Stop: Eleanor Roosevelt College

As we continue on the quest for unique eats, our next stop is Eleanor Roosevelt College. Housed within the fifth college’s transfer and apartment dwellings are many fabulous finds, such as Café Ventanas, the fine dining Bistro restaurant, and the one-stop shop Village Market.



Café Ventanas is your local dining unit that serves up home-style classics like Macaroni & Cheese, made just the way you like. Choose three fillings from chicken, ham, meatballs, bacon, and sautéed vegetables served over warm macaroni and cheese sauce, topped with your choice of tortilla chips, cheese, or panko breadcrumbs. Remember—all food fits in moderation, so grab your roommate and head on over to Café Ventanas to create a masterpiece. http://hdh.ucsd.edu/DiningMenus/default.aspx?i=18

 

Mac 'n' Cheese Bowl

A unique dining experience awaits you at The Bistro. Its Pacific-rim inspired menu includes daily fresh sushi choices. New to the sushi world? Daniel and the Bistro team will happily recommend their favorites to you. Feast on their deliciously unique edamame hummus while you decide what to order.  In a rush? Call ahead and make a reservation. http://hdh.ucsd.edu/DiningMenus/default.aspx?i=27
 


Edamame Hummus & Wonton Chips

Looking for a night in? Stop into the Village and take a look around to see what suits your fancy. The Village supplies a wide variety of Boar’s Head deli meats and cheeses that would pair nicely with a bottle of 100% fruit juice J or would be perfect for hosting a Sunday football party. For something more traditional, the Village offers made-to-order pizzas after 4pm. A totally excellent party pleaser! http://hdh.ucsd.edu/DiningHours/PlaceandMarket.aspx#villageplace

Campus Eats!

Hello again! I hope you’re surviving your first official week of fall quarter 2013 at UC San Diego, your new home away from home!  One of the luxuries of living on campus is having an abundant variety of food types to choose from.  Want a burrito? Head over to Goody’s. Craving pizza? Check out Foodworx. Want a sweet treat? Why not Rogers!

These next posts will introduce you to some of the menu items located within our HDH dining facilities at each college. Regardless of where you’re living on campus, there is a market or dining facility less than a five minute walk away.  Each location has an array of tasty and delicious choices!  Do you have a particular medically necessitated dietary need or lifestyle type of diet that you follow? No worries! We have options that can meet your needs.

 

Check out http://hdh.ucsd.edu/docs/ucsdcampusmap.pdf for a larger image!

 

Although I will definitely point you towards some of the best-selling eats at each location, my ultimate goal is to show you how to enjoy a variety of choices while avoiding gaining the freshman 15! C’mon, I wouldn’t be your HDH dietitian if I didn’t throw some better (but still tasty!) choices your way.

Stay tuned for a new unveiling coming soon!
