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!

National Nutrition Month 2017: Plant Power

If you follow food trends, you’ve surely noticed that plant-based foods, recipes and restaurants have been getting a larger share of the spotlight lately. Does this mean that more of us are becoming vegetarians? Should we be? Why more plants? Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, peas, nuts and seeds are key features of some of the healthiest diets in the world. Plant based foods are a common theme in the Mediterranean Diet, the DASH Diet and most dietary guidelines. The balance of health promoting nutrients with moderate calories and less of the stuff we should be limiting make plant based foods an easy fit for most people. Looking beyond personal health, to the health of our planet, plant based foods tend to more sustainable and less taxing on the environment. What is a flexitarian? Or a pescatarian? With the expansion of plant foods on our plates has come an expansion of how we refer to the way we eat. Vegetarian still refers to people who don’t eat meat, fish or poultry, but the...

Are you a Healthy Shopper?

Does where you buy your food determine how healthy you are? A recent study suggests that there may be a link between the type of store where you do most of your food shopping and your weight and the health of your diet overall. Which stores were better? Some of the results were what you might expect. People who shopped often at convenience stores ate fewer fruits and vegetables. Convenience stores don’t tend to have large produce departments, so this makes sense. Fruits and vegetables were a bigger part of the diets of people who frequented supermarkets and specialty stores. Overall diet quality was highest in those who shopped at food co-ops.
