What's Your Favorite Fruit?

I love fruit so much that I have a hard time picking just one favorite. I am really into pears right now. Look for pears, along with red apples, green apples, bananas, melons, grapefruits, grapes, kiwis, and many more fruits in Dining Services. And check out the special event, "Winter Fruit Day" on February 25th!
Try this for an
Easy, Warm Pear Treat:
1. Cut pear in half and core it.
2. Place 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar or cinnamon sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of butter or trans-fat free margarine in the scooped out section of the pear.
3. Cover and microwave for about 3-4 minutes. Let stand a few minutes and enjoy!

Fine Dining Lunch every Wednesday at Plaza Cafe

Plaza Cafe has a Fine Dining lunch every Wednesday. It's a great way to enjoy a fancy meal from Dining Services, complete with tablecloths, sparkling water, linen napkins, and a host who clears your plate!

This Fine Dining lunch was delicious! I had a vegetarian tomato & gorgonzola cheese tart with some beautiful sauteed veggies (Napa cabbage, asparagus, assorted peppers, mushrooms.) I also had a pear since my obsession with this fruit continues. I LOVE a good pear.
