Do you ever get tired of eating Eick? Are you sick of the same options every week? I personally am not the biggest fan of dining hall food, but with a little creativity, I have managed to make eating there a better experience. Here are seven "Eick Creations" to help mix up your diet!
1. Yogurt with Granola- This is my go-to Eick staple! Get vanilla (or strawberry) yogurt. While at the salad bar, add raisins and/or walnuts to your bowl. Next go over to the cereal station and add some granola. You can even add a spoonful of peanut butter if you want! Mix it all together and you have a pretty healthy Eick option!
2. Bacon Cheese Fries- Go to the grill and get a plate full of fries. Then go to the salad bar and take advantage of the shredded cheese and bacon bits! Go to the microwave and microwave until the cheese is melted.
3. Chicken Parm- Go to the grill and get a piece of grilled chicken. Next, find cheese at either the salad bar or the burrito station and sprinkle shredded cheese onto the chicken. Go to the microwave and cook until cheese is melted. Then go to the pasta loop, get the pasta of your choice with red sauce. Put your chicken on top of your pasta. Go to the pizza station to finish off your meal for a breadstick and even some parmesan cheese!
4. Vegan Chili Rice Bowl- Get brown rice from the wok area and put it in a bowl, and then go to the soup station and cover the rice with vegan chili. Next, top with shredded cheese from the salad bar. The heat from the chili will melt the cheese. For added spice, go to the pizza station for crushed red pepper flakes. Get a pack of saltines or a dinner role to complete your meal!
5. Buffalo Chicken Pizza- Get a piece of cheese pizza from the pizza station. Top with diced grilled chicken obtained from the grill. Add blue cheese from the salad bar and buffalo sauce from the condiment dispenser. Boom. Buffalo Chicken Pizza.
6. Soda Float- Get a cup and fill it with the soda of your choice. Only fill half way. Then go to the ice cream machine. Add vanilla ice cream and you have a soda float!
7. Pizza Bagels- Pizza Bagels are a rare sight at Eick so if you're craving breakfast and pizza at the same time here's how to make them! Go by the drinks and get a bagel. Lightly toast it. Next go to the pasta station and get some sauce. Top with cheese from the salad bar or the burrito line. Microwave until the cheese is melted.
Hopefully these make your dining hall experience more enjoyable! Lets use the same ingredients to make different meals.
