The College's Dining Services had some interesting meal recommendations this fall-Peter Ziegler's Sausage Jambalaya, Mrs. Flynn's Summer Squash Casserole, Gramma Gorski's Swedish Meatballs, and Chicken Schram, to name a few.
If the recipe names sound familiar, they should, especially to students. They're from moms and dads, the real experts in student dining.
Through a summer mailing, Dining Services solicited family recipes to make dining on campus seem more like eating at home. A few weeks into the term, the office had received more than fifty responses.
The program has been popular with students, of course, but also with Dining Services employees, who enjoy the chance to “make it just like
mom does,” according to Mo Schifley, director of resident dining. Recipes have run the spectrum from salads to desserts.
Plans are to offer more than twenty family Recipes in the fall term. Dining Services also plans to solicit Recipes from faculty and staff to be served at lunch.
