Resolution follow-up

Well, with all other resolutions this one is having a hard time sticking.  We are checking this page more often, and now have two people working on keeping the calendar up to date.  Our current goal is to get our menus out monthly instead of weekly.  Not quite sure how easy this leap will be but we are for sure going to take the lunge. 

I want to personally thank everyone who is posting their questions and comments on our new comment page.  We get excited for each new post be it good or bad.  You will notice that we have purposefully left the previous comments so you can read and know what has been happening around the Valley View.  Please keep it up, we can not progress without your input.  Hope everyone has a great day and drives safe on our slippery roads.

New Year New Resolution

It has been a long cold winter, and I for one can't wait for the warmth and color of Spring to come around again.  I owe everyone an apology as I have completely fallen down on the job when it comes to the Valley View Blog.  So, to make it up to you, because I knew you were really worried about it, my New Year's Resolution for 2013 is:  Keep you up to date with the happenings in UVU Dining Services -mainly the Valley View ;o)  and blog at least once a week.  As always you can check out our Menu as that is updated weekly.  Feel free to post any requests, concerns, or comments along the way.  We are working with our Chef's to get recipes more often and a complete list of our nutritional information for all recipes served here in the Valley View. 

Exciting things happening here in the Valley View!  Check out our latest comings and goings.

Constitution Week

Well its Constitution Week here at UVU.  Gotta say, I'm kind of excited.  Ever heard of David McCullough?  If you haven't you should look into his books.  He is a historian specializing in the American Revolution.  I personally own two of his books and am very excited that he is coming to UVU to speak this week.  Get your tickets while you can. 

As for the rest of campus, things seem to be getting into the swing of things.  Students are forming habits as to where to study (Library and Science building hallway seem to be the place of choice), sleep (out on the lawn under a tree is where I see most people), and eat (any Dining Service location).  Rockin' Robbies our new burger place seems to be doing great.  Personally I am hooked on their cheese burgers and over the rim milk shakes.  Here in the Valley View we stay very busy serving up everyone's favorites.  This week we have Baked Ziti for our Meatless Monday option, Tuesday don't miss out on our Navajo Taco, Wednesday is the ever popular Enchilada, Thursday we are premiering a Fish Taco, and Friday we have the Spicy Honey Chicken Wrap.

Hope to see you here!

The Meatless Monday Movement

I know we have talked about this one before but I recently stumbled upon a couple of interesting articles about the Meatless Monday Movement and how it affects our lives.  Thought you might be interesting in reading them.

The Foodie Journal has done an interview with Sid Lerner the creater of the Meatless Monday Campaign and how it came to be.
