Check out my progress on Better Late than Never
As I signed off from my last post on Friday, I mentioned that I was heading out to the grand opening of some new buildings on campus. This much anticipated grand opening has been postponed multiple times; first it was to open in January, then mid-February, and finally early April. Aside from the continually changing opening date, there was crazy construction around my apartment for the past 8 months (translation: bulldozers at the crack of dawn).
Fortunately, all that waiting and aggravation appears to be worthwhile—the new “village” as it’s called are pretty sweet:
The rest of the weekend shaped up well too. Check out the latest eats:
Saturday
My salty tooth was beckoning on Saturday morning, so I made up a batch of scrambled tofu. I served it up in a wrap, which was apparently a poor decision—I think I ended up with more tofu on my face and hands than in my mouth.
Before heading out to do some errands with Seth, I busted out the GF for a garlic-tastic grilled hummus sandwich.
For dinner, we decided to use up some of my stockpiled food points and order take-out from Chai’s. I ordered my usual the Japanese Soba Noodle Bowl with Tofu. Just as good as I remember.
Sunday
Breakfast this morning was all about the superfoods: bloobs, oats, wheat germ, and a big honkin’ blob of almond butter.
Leftover kidney beans=perfect partner for fresh avocado.
I was craving breakfast for dinner (brinner?) this evening, so I opened up a box of frozen waffles that have been in my freezer fo-evah:
Not gonna lie, this brand appealed to me solely for its prominent display of Cookie Monster on the box. I also appreciate that these waffles are egg-free…and miniature.
Alright, I am off to finish watching Up. Toodles.

Oh my gawwwwwwwwsh that garlicky hummus was in my mouth for the rest of the night….even when everything came up!! I never want to eat THAT hummus ever again for as long as I live. Eggggghh.
….bad times. haha
All of the new buildings look really nice! They serve tofu at your dining halls?? Jealoussss. Supposedly, we have the best dining in the country because they’re serving up steak and cheese fries *sigh*
You might have to start feeding me with some of those stockpiled food points. Apparently im a bottomless pit this semester and have been eating through my food points like crazy.
Wow, your new campus “village” looks fantastic! Of course the first thing I noticed was the masala tofu. Do you know what the rest of the ingredients are (I can only read part of the sign)? I would love to recreate it (even though I have no idea what it is actually like haha)? I’m also a huge fan of breakfast for dinner. I love cookie monster on your waffle box as well. Honestly, I’ve picked them up before because of the same reason (though I don’t think they’re vegan so I didn’t get them sadface).
Have a lovely day!

I’m going back to school so I can live in the Village.
I should have applied to Duke. you guys have it WAY better than we do, and we’re in SoCal, the “foodie” and “healthy” part of the country…
Your food pics are beautiful. Thanks for inspiring my dinner tonight! Waffles and yogurt it is!!! Btw. where do you get TEMPEH BACON??? Sounds dreamy.
those mini waffles are so cute!
That Village looks awesome! New building openings get me excited. The restaurant looks great.
That gym is a little small though, for a college. I’d definitely keep hoofing it the 20 minutes!
I love the look of the new village!!! Such a cool restaurant…can’t wait until you check it out!
I eat breakfast for dinner all the time. Love it
(and that is why my dinners are rarely documented…hehe)
Lucky you! Wish I had a Village in my office…
That Village looks amazing – the food options are out of this world. I wish my college had options like that!
I have been craving waffles as well – my husband wanted pancakes this weekend and he won out…next weekend!
I am ridiculously jealous of all of this. It looks incredible! I’ve actually never tried an Amy’s burger, but now I want to.
And that’s amazing that you have an on-campus restaurant with both tofu AND wild salmon! I could eat and eat and eat.
Wow… I would have blown some serious cash if I had easy access to such amazing stores in college! Enjoy

So cool! Wonderful that the school is adjusting to the needs of the students. Love the gym and the fresh food bars!!! Your sammys are always so creative. You should open a deli
those are the cutest little waffles ever!
