Sorority Food

[DMCBlondie]

Food!!!!!

Does anyone have any ideas on cooking healthy in a sorority house? We have cooks and aren't allowed to make our own food, so we must eat the recipes provided by the housemother. A lot of things are fried and I realized after my second year that we eat the same things over and over again! We always have a salad bar but eating salad everyday gets boring.

Also,
What was/is your favorite lunch or dinner?

My FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE is chicken enchiladas with white sauce. Whenever we have that, all of it gets eaten and there are no left overs.

Our cook also makes really good soups.


Have you tried finding recipes you want to eat and giving them to your housemother/cooks? Our cook loves making new and different stuff based on our suggestions (probably because she gets bored making the same thing over and over lol)

Grilled chicken breasts and baked potatoes. Use Molly McButter instead of "real" butter on your potato.

You can also find some "eating clean" recipes here:

I read that real butter is actually better for you than artificial butter.

A good piece of advice is to avoid the temptation to go out to eat all the time. It's easy to get into the habit when you don't want any of the catered food on the house.

I use a few sprinkles of Molly McButter. I don't gob on real butter by the tablespoonful.

I can tell by your posts, your cook is either white or black. Hire an Asian cook the next time.

And what is that supposed to mean?

One other problem may be the source of food that your cooks are using. I don't know if it's still this way at FSU, but when I was there all of the houses used the same supplier (something like Sisco but that wasn't it - probably no longer in business). Heavy on the processed casseroles and limited fruit and vegetable selections. Maybe there is some other source that your cooks could use?

If the selection is limited for all houses, maybe you could bring it up at Panhellenic.

PS - glad to see another Nole on GC!

Asians tend to cook healthier.

Should I even take you seriously? I mean, your username is slang for asshole.

Not really.

A lot of Chinese restaurants say that they don't use MSG, but I don't buy it. I've been eating Oriental foods all my life and I can really tell if the dish has MSG or not.

I have a Filipino mother who needs to quit making traditional dishes because my stepfather's on notice from his doctor to watch his diet. His cholesterol levels were through the roof.

I figure the only healthy part of the Korean plates I eat are the vegetables that come with the entree (bean sprouts, watercress, seaweed, etc.). The entrees are usually oily and full of grease.

There are lots of healthy Oriental dishes out there that I enjoy, but the ones that most people are familiar with are anything but healthy.

Have Miso Soup in the morning and drink real Green Tea (not the Arizona or canned kind). It cleanses your system and it's good for you.
