Where's The 100% beef patty you ask? NOW at Burger Hub.

UMD Dining services has confirmed that the burger served in the Burger Hub at the UMD food court is NOW 100% beef!
No more gluten fillers in your Burger Hub hamburger patty!   This is a huge win for the gluten intolerant!
There is a size and shape difference that you will notice from the old burger as well.

Don't forget, the Center Court Restaurant is a 100% grass fed burger and also gluten free!

I am waiting for absolute confirmation on which hamburger is used in the Dining Center... so, more to come!

Please pass along to those in your life who have celiac, gluten intolerance, gluten allergies, paleo diet consuming, etc.

YEAH!

Avacado. A wonderful healthy fat. How do I pick a good one and store it properly to get the most from my purchase?

If you like avocados, yet are concerned about not eating them before they get too ripe or go bad. Or maybe you are not sure how to store or cut them. Here are 2 videos you might find helpful for dorm or apartment living.  (Salsa and guac party anyone?)

Avocado's are great on their own, in a sandwich and so many other wonderful ways.

The first video is about storing it with onions. Notice he stores the half with the pit. 

Some people also use a lemon or sprinkle the remaining avocado with lemon juice to keep the color fresh.

This second video takes you through choosing, speeding and slowing the ripening process as well as slicing and longer term storing suggestions.

 

ENJOY!

UMD Farm video

Hi all!
For those of you who were at the Bulldog Welcome Week presentation today. As well as those who were not.  The sound was not playing properly.  As promised, here is the link to the You Tube video about the UMD farm made when it was just starting back up a few years ago.

http://youtu.be/8T8DcbJQ1EQ

More information will be available on future posts about the farm. 
It has grown so much from the time of this video.

Thank you to Randy Hanson, and many other staff, faculty and students who have seen the vision and put so much time, effort, sweat, and more into the Sustainable Agriculture Project.

The farm has given UMD dining services 4400 pounds of food last year served at UMD. It will be exciting to see where that number will reach at the end of the 2012/2013 school year.
