Chesapeake Coffee Roasters

 

Love is in the air, but don’t miss out on this month’s special only available at Chesapeake Coffee Roasters. It’s the perfect time to try the special seasonal treat that’s the ultimate Valentine necessity: Love Potion. It’s blended with our signature Fro-Cho vanilla ice cream base, decadent white chocolate sauce, and just a kiss of raspberry. If it’s Valentine’s Day, it must be Cupid’s sweet, sweet love potion.

Hungry Minds

 

Treat yourself to some delectable goodness this Valentine's season. The Valentine Toast will not disappoint. It's a decadent, sweet French toast creation with  strawberry jelly and cream cheese, covered with chocolate and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Nothing says love like this.

Guerrieri Student Union

Cool Beans

 

The Strawberry Dream, the Brown Sugar Berry Chill, and the Matcha Dream Cooler are three new house-made barista treats that are available at Cool Beans in the Guerrieri Student Union.

The Strawberry Dream has notes of vanilla combined with strawberries and a crème syrup blended into a delicious frappe. The Brown Sugar Berry Chill is a delicious combo of brown sugar and chai, topped with strawberry cold foam. The Matcha Dream Cooler offers a unique yet sweet taste by combining matcha with white mocha, topped with strawberry cold foam.

These drinks are available for a limited time only, so you can start the semester off right with a new tasty treat.

Bites from the Dietitian

Food cravings, those powerful desires for specific, often high-calorie foods, are widespread, with over 90% of people experiencing them. While everyone's experience with food cravings may differ, they often involve a longing for highly processed foods rich in sugar, fat, and salt. These are foods that are not only tempting but also detrimental to our health. 

This newsletter will explore what causes food cravings and how to understand and curb them.

 

If you would like personalized information related to nutrition and health, you can contact University Dietitian Terry Passano, RDN, at thpassano@salisbury.edu or request an appointment here. Complimentary sessions are offered to students, faculty, and staff.
