Terp Farm Fall Festival

The UMD Dietetic Interns pitched in to help at UMD’s 2nd Annual Terp Farm Fall Festival, on Friday October 23.  The UMD Terp Farm grows produce for use both in Campus Dining and the UMD Campus Pantry, which provides food to staff and students in need. 

 
The interns assisted with parking, painting pumpkins and doing whatever they could to help visitors experience the amazing UMD Terp Farm. They also managed to have fun.

For more information on the Terp Farm, please look back at our February post which describes the sustainable features utilized at the farm. Many thanks to the UMD Campus Dining Sustainability Team for including us in this event!

Four Steps to a Great Theme Meal

Riderwood Theme Meal #1:

Four Steps to a Great Theme Meal

1. Great Theme:   Chinese Luncheon
2. Great Planning: Our Marketing Plan includes posters, table touches, & an in-house video
3. Great Recipes: Some existing recipes along with a few new ones
4. Great Teachers: Erickson’s Riderwood management Team

Paula Karamihas and Ysabel Montemayor have preparations under way for the first theme meal for the 2016-2017 class. The luncheon will be on Thursday, September 29, 2016 at Riderwood Village and will include delicious items like Hoisin Glazed Pork Spare Ribs, Lemon Pepper Tempura Shrimp and Mango-Ginger Pudding.

Interns work closely with Windsor Manager Scott Monfils to test new recipes.

Theme meal preparation means LOTS of Hard Work, FOCUS, and Persistence: When the Going gets tough – the Interns get going!
