Thursday's Trend Alert Dirt Report #68


This semester I have been tasked to work with a group of students to teach them a little bit about nutrition.  Ecstatic to be able to share my love of wellness, I have started to sift through my notes from IIN to create a program cutely titled:  "The FRESHman 15."  It is my hope that the spoof on a common college issue will grab the attention of health conscious students and allow for them to gain a better understanding of eating FRESH foods in their dorms.

Although my packet of information detailing harvest schedules, organic produce storage and dorm friendly recipes will be beneficial, I want to clear up any preconceived nutrition nonsense that my students may have before meeting with me.  

Here are 11 Healthy Eating Myths that I plan to discuss with my students this semester!

Wednesday What Not #68


One of the many perks of working on a college campus is the opportunity to celebrate the first day of school! Each year I look forward to the opportunity to catch up with friends and colleagues and of course, buy a fabulous fall wardrobe!

Between the new pants, sweaters and booties, I have no room in my closet for the excess amount of hangers that those purchases have provided.  Rather than dispose of the hangers, I decided to "upcycle" them!  Not only has this hack proved economical, but it has also allowed more space for future fashion finds!

Tasty Tuesday Treat #68


Now that the BBQ's of Labor Day Weekend have come and gone, I find myself left with enough hot dog rolls to cushion a small couch!  Rather than wasting the bread, or freezing it for a later use, I decided to make a "back to reality" casserole that would hint at a summer well spent ;)
