There are many options for dining on campus for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but if you are getting tired of your choices, try these hacks to mix up your meals! If you’re a student living in the residence halls, you can participate in the fall 2021 Dining Scavenger Hunt!
Breakfast sandwich
Toast two pieces of whole wheat bread from the deli section. Grab some spinach and tomatoes from the omelet station and some plain scrambled eggs. Once your toast is finished toasting, add a light layer of butter, place the spinach leaves and tomato on the bottom slice and add the scrambled eggs on top.
If you’re not into toast and happen to be in the C4C, try making a panini in the panini press with the same ingredients, just add a little cheese to make it all stick together!
Banana sandwich
Toast two pieces of whole wheat bread. When toasted, spread on a tablespoon of peanut butter. Slice up a banana and put the two slices together for a new twist on the breakfast sandwich.
Avocado toast
When visiting the C4C, liven up your favorite toast and top with some fresh smashed avocado from the Latin station. Top with a fried egg for extra protein.
C4C chickpea salad sandwich (vegan alternative to chicken salad)
Mash up chickpeas in a bowl, mix with vegan mayo (all the mayo served in the dining center is vegan), add dill from spice bar, add grapes or Craisins from the salad bar, almond slices from the Asian station, Dijon mustard and finally some thyme from the spice station.
Spicy hummus
Hummus with any veggie is perfect for any meal; spice it up by squirting about 2 teaspoons of hot sauce from the Grill (or the Latin station) into a cup of hummus and mixing it up. Pair it with carrots, sliced cucumbers or celery from the salad bar for a healthy snack, or use it as a spread on your favorite sandwich.
BLT chopped salad
Salads can get boring after many visits to the dining centers, but we’ve come up with a solution to liven up your next dinner salad. To make a BLT chopped salad, visit the salad bar and simply pick your lettuce base and top with ingredients such as tomato, avocado, corn, feta cheese, bacon, olive oil, lemon wedges and finally salt and pepper.
Peppermint hot chocolate
Peppermint hot chocolate is just as delicious as it sounds. Try some hot chocolate with peppermint tea and you’ll be going back for seconds.
Jazzed-up coffee
Spice up your coffee with chocolate or caramel sauce from the dessert station.
Root beer float
You can’t go wrong with a classic root beer float. Grab a cup from the drink area, ask for a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream from the dessert station and then fill the cup with root beer.
All three dining centers on campus (the C4C Dining Center, Sewall Dining Center and Village Dining Center) accept meal plans, Munch Money and Campus Cash. The C4C and Village Dining Centers also accept credit/debit cards.
Students living in the residence halls have a meal plan, providing 15 or 19 meals per week plus a balance of Munch Money. Students living in Graduate & Family Housing, Bear Creek Apartments or living off campus can purchase a Block Meal Plan at any time during the fall or spring. Campus Cash can be added to your Buff OneCard online or at the Buff OneCard office.
