What's New in 2015



Happy New Year Huskies!

John from the Northeastern Dining marketing team here with an update on some of the exciting things we have planned for you this year.

If this is your first time visiting our blog – welcome! – but if you are a repeat reader, you may have noticed this fancy new layout that not only looks great but is adaptive to any device size. This is just one example of our marketing team trying to stay on the cutting edge of technology. From designing unique, eye-catching advertisements for our digital screens across campus to introducing new social media channels to our portfolio, we are always looking to stay in touch with you in new ways. And speaking of new social media, you can now follow "nudining" on Snapchat! We’ll be having some fun showing you emoji-filled exclusive looks at Northeastern Dining – and maybe throwing in a contest here and there (…but you didn’t hear that from me).

When it comes to events, spring semester is always a busy one for us. We are still celebrating the Xhibition Kitchen’s 10th anniversary and have some exciting cooking demonstrations that are free and open to the public, including:
And for those of you sticking around for the beginning of the summer semester, or who just live or work in the area, our first-ever summer Xhibition Kitchen cookbook signing is happening on Tuesday, May 12 with April Bloomfield, a James Beard Award winner for Best Chef: New York City and the recipient of a Michelin star at two New York City restaurants: The Spotted Pig and Breslin. And for all you Food Network fans, April also earned the highest score of any single challenger in Iron Chef America history.

With all this new excitement, we can’t forget about our upcoming signature events, including Mardi Gras on February 17, the return of Lobstah Night in March, and Educate Your Palate in April. Finally, be sure to connect with us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to let us know what you think about these events or just to show us what you had for lunch today – we love to see it all!

4 Tips To Avoid Stress Eating During Finals

It's the week of finals and suddenly there's so much to do and not enough time to do it. With projects, papers, studying, all-nighters, and early wake-ups, indulging in your favorite (and maybe not so good for you) foods seems like the perfect way to relieve some of that finals stress. When we turn to food to relive stress, it tends to be food that comforts us and makes us feel good, which a lot of times is a carton of ice cream, a slice of pizza, or your favorite piece (or bag) of candy. The truth is, finals may not only be a stressful time of the semester but a time where weight gain occurs in stressed out students. The combination of a large amount of sedentary time studying and test taking, little to no exercise, and stressful or late-night eating is a recipe for weight gain. Another truth is that we may not even recognize that we are in fact stress eating due to being completely preoccupied. So how do we avoid this stress eating before it takes place? Here are four tips to...

To Juice or Not To Juice?

Depending on who you talk to, juice is either part of the latest health trend or on the list of things to avoid. Understanding what juice does and doesn’t offer can help you decide if it is right for you. The Up Side: Fruits and vegetables offer a variety of health-promoting nutrients, many of which are still available in the juice squeezed from them. Juices can be a convenient and tasty way to get those nutrients. Juices also offer a way to get fruits and vegetables that you may not usually eat in the whole form.

People who don’t normally eat spinach may find that when juiced with other vegetables and fruit, they enjoy it. The Down Side: With about 50-115 calories per cup, fruit and vegetable juices are not low calorie drinks. For that reason, drinking a lot of juice could potentially make weight management more difficult. Research suggests that people who dri...

Plant Forward

A New Way of Eating There’s a relatively new term buzzing around the food world that you may or may not have heard of, plant forward. What does that mean you ask? Plant forward focuses on more vegetable centric dishes with meat playing more of a supporting role. Think blended burgers, stir-fry’s or grain bowls where meat is almost like a condiment. Flavors are bold and it’s all about the dish’s deliciousness whether it happens to be vegan or vegetarian, or not. Diners aren’t interested in completely removing meat from their diets so embracing a diet that is mostly plants with some meat here and there provides a comfortable middle ground. The Challenge with Red Meat Conventional animal agriculture is resource intense and less than stellar for the environment. Ruminant animals release methane gas into the atmosphere which is about twenty five times more intense than carbon dioxide. Let’s face it, our country’s enormous appetite for beef is not so great for our health and the heal...
