Meatless Monday

Once again it is Meatless Monday.  Here are a few random facts about College eating habits:
66% of freshmen don’t consume the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
50% of all students don’t get enough fiber (25 grams a day).
60% eat too much artery-clogging saturated fat.
59% of students surveyed said they know their diet has gone downhill since they went to college.

For today's meatless option we are offering a Sour Dough Bread Bowl filled with your choice of Vegetarian Chili or Tomato Florentine soup.  Hearty and filling, especially in our spring weather that can't quite decide if it should stay warm or freeze us out yet again.

Spring Finale

Well it is that time of the semester again. Everyone is rushing to finish last minute projects that they really have known about all semester, just procrastinated to the end, stress levels are at an all time high, and we are all looking for that little ray of sunshine to help us through the day. No literally. Spring as always loves to tease us. Warmth was here, letting us dream of sunshine and summer just around the corner, distracting us from the stress of finals and projects. 

Up here in the Valley View we have a beautiful view, be it of the cold snow that surprised us today or the budding green we hope will come back soon.  In an effort to help de-stress everyone here on campus we are offering comfort foods and some healthy options depending on which one best helps you.  There are Rockstars the 'keep you goin' kind as well as the new 'relax' kind.  We will be showcasing all of your Valley View favorites in the next couple of weeks so be sure to stop by and pay us a visit.
