Holiday Beverage Guide
Tis the season to drink coffee, fa la la la la, la la la la. Finals have finally arrived, winter break is around the corner, and temperatures have most definitely dropped. While Christmas foods are mouthwateringly close, to make it through studying for finals or just to prevent frostbite some sort of smoldering and/or caffeinated...
Don’t get off track this Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we all know what that means, food, food, and more food. This can be an exciting time to be with family and friends, but we shouldn’t have to take a complete break from eating healthy or our workout routine. The food around the holidays can be very enjoyable,...
Brunch!
Brunch has long been a staple in today’s popular culture. From Carrie Bradshaw and the ladies on Sex and the City to an entire episode dedicated to the mid morning meal on Gossip Girl, brunch has gained a fashionable following in today’s society. I recently threw a brunch in honor of the popular trend and...
Fried Food!
Going to school in Nashville has its perks! Being able to don flirty sundresses (especially those I find on Rent the Runway!) and cowboy boots to class and tailgates almost year round is something that my friends up north will never have the opportunity to experience. Southern gentlemen, southern accents, and southern hospitality are just...
Wake Up To Something New This Semester
It’s the middle of October, and with 8am classes and late nights it’s easy to have fallen into a habit of spending your money and the day’s calories at your college’s local Starbucks. However, you may be surprised to learn that theres many ways to get your daily caffeine without spending the last of your...
Hello Dollys
In my last post, I wrote about an easy lunch meal for the girl who is constantly on the move (http://www.rtroncampus.com/2012/09/21/lunch-on-the-go/) . It’s a very healthy recipe and I am in full support of it. With that being said, sometimes it’s good to be a little bad. And by bad, I’m talking about dessert-time. There...
Lunch On-The-Go
Classes all day and no lunch break? Well that’s how it is for me on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have 4 classes back-to-back and there is no time for me to grab a meal. But instead of packing just the typical PB&J sandwich, I always opt for a more nutritious option like the following coleslaw...
Gourmet Rice Krispie S’mores
You could say I have a sweet tooth. Many sweet teeth would probably be more accurate. In my perfect world, everything would be covered in sugar, and chocolate would be the key- and only- ingredient to a well-rounded, healthy diet. Ever since I was little, I have always been an avid Rice Krispie treat fan,...
Gluten-Free Banana Bread
Who doesn’t love banana bread? Nevermind, don’t answer that question. Of course you love it (and if you don’t then we can’t be friends.) Fall is closing in as summer fades away bringing to mind warm, homey dishes. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll eat banana bread any day of the week, any season of the...
Tailgate Ready Nachos
Football season gaining on us. As the dog days of summer wind down, we find ourselves looking forward to tailgates, cooler temps, and a good ‘ole fashioned battle on the gridiron. Naturally, as the seasons change so do our taste buds. Crisp apples replace sweet strawberries and nachos become the staple food at game-day gatherings....
The Best Eggs You Have Ever Had
As a college student, I live life on the go. And as a college student, I don’t have an exorbitant amount of cash. This is a slight issue, especially since I am a health nut. I realized pretty early on that eating healthy for cheap can be pretty difficult, but after much trial and error,...
Forget Tollhouse, these are the best chocolate chip cookies
The last couple of food posts featured healthy, summer recipes. While it is definitely a good habit to develop, eating healthy all the time gets a bit boring. Eating should be anything but boring! That’s why there are so many food critics and bloggers and TV hosts because food is simply to wonderful to ignore....

Avocado Fever
It seems like every magazine I peruse this summer has a delicious, healthy recipe, and I’m happy to say that I’ve tried quite a few so far, and am looking forward to trying many more. My two favorite recipes from the summer have included my new favorite food: avocado. The first recipe is super...
Simple Switch For Lower Calorie Spaghetti
We tend to post a lot about healthy foods during the summer. Probably because everyone wants to get fit and toned for the beach and pool. There is another factor too, however. During the summer months, yummy vegetables and fruits abound. We have more opportunity to experiment with new dishes thanks to the variety of...
