Dining Guide

Small place, big eats ‘IOLANI A NTONIO Contributing Writer Looking for a homey and unpretentious dining experience? Don’t feel like dressing to the nines?

You’re in luck because the following hole-in-the-wall restaurants near the university offer delicious fare in a relaxed, low-key setting.

YO U R K I T C H E N This mom-and-pop shop located in Palolo offers generous portions of hearty local food with a Japanese twist. The cozy atmosphere makes for an intimate date (they have one table and a few stools), but it can get crowded pretty quickly, so keep in mind that they do offer take-out.

If you’re in the mood for tender, sliced steak smothered in teriyaki sauce, served with white rice and topped with flash-fried sliced potatoes, then order the steak bowl (mini $5.75). Another stand-out dish is the miso salmon plate ($8.75), a liberal

helping of miso-marinated salmon and veggies served with white rice and a green salad.

However, the real star is the pork bowl (mini $5.75), a medley of meltin-your-mouth pork belly atop a bed of white rice, slathered in a sweet ginger and shoyu sauce, and topped with a soft-boiled egg that’s been rolled in panko and fried.

If you’re looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, Your Kitchen also offers light and refreshing shave ice (small $2). They make some of their own syrup flavors, including green tea, haupia, mango, passion fruit and strawberry. Add-ons like vanilla ice cream (50 cents), azuki beans (50 cents) and condensed milk (25 cents) won’t set you back very much, so you can indulge without worrying about cost.

NORTH SHORE GRINDS Don’t let this local eatery’s moniker fool you – it is a skip, hop and jump away from Your Kitchen.

YOUR KITCHEN Address: 1423 10th Ave. Hours: Tues-Sat 11 a.m.-7:30 p.m.; Sun 11 a.m.-6 p.m.

Phone: 808-203-7685

Known for their hefty portions, their expansive menu focuses primarily on local favorites, although it offers a few surprises that stray away from traditional local grinds.

If you’re new to the islands or simply craving a refresher on local cuisine, their laulau and kalua pig plate ($9.95), which comes with lomi salmon, rice and your choice of tossed green or mac salad. The garlic calamari filet with roasted pepper sauce, served with rice and tossed green or mac salad, costs $8.85. The breaded pork chop with an apricot glaze ($8.50) is a welcome variation in their menu.

Traditional local favorites like chicken katsu ($8.00), hamburger steak with onion gravy ($8.20) and beef stew ($7.95) are sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. North Shore Grinds’ menu also features combination plates, salads and sandwiches, so you’re likely to fi nd something for everyone.

Start your morning right A RIEL R AMOS Managing Editor Do you wake up in the morning when it’s still dark out to get that morning exercise in or to beat the weekday traffi c into town? Reward yourself for being an early riser by checking out these spots known to serve delicious and health-conscious breakfasts.

B O GA R TʼS C A F É The parking in this small shopping center fi lls up quickly, and this little café only accepts cash, so be prepared. Bogart’s is known for it’s espresso and shakes as well as a wide selection of pancakes, waffl es, acai bowls, omelets, bagels, sandwiches, salads and pastas. The prices are on the higher end of the scale with entrees between $10-$30, but try the crab and avocado omelet (1) ($11) made with real crab and fresh avocado slices.

MO C H A JAVA C A F É Found at Ward Centre, Mocha Java offers ample parking and dining both inside and out.

There are two bars and kitchens to order food and drinks. With

vegan and vegetarian options in addition to meat dishes, Mocha Java also makes savory and dessert crêpes, sandwiches, soups and salads. It also has a full drink menu with espresso, milkshakes and fresh fruit smoothies. The fruit and berries plate comes with a house dipping sauce made of sour cream, powered sugar and cinnamon, while the half-asandwich with soup comes with a salad special for only $8.25.

T OW N Just a short drive or bus ride down the road from the university, town is here to add some sophistication to your morning, noon or evening meal. Although posh, the service is as friendly and easy-going as town’s lowercased name. The breakfast menu is small, consisting of a few patron favorites such as banana pancakes with eggs or bacon ($9), polenta, pancetta, bitter greens and sunny egg ($8), breakfast burrito (2) ($8) and more, but their lunch and dinner menus are equally good.

Be sure to try the ever-changing fl avors of freshly baked scones ($2) and town’s lemonade topped off with green apple juice ($3.25).

CAITLIN KURODA Features Editor

When you go out to a bar, sometimes you’re not just thirsting for drinks – you’re hungry too, and those small snacks and pupu plates aren’t going to tide you over. The next time you want to mix drinks with good food (and lots of it), check out this list of bars.

H OM E BA R & G R I L L

Don’t shy away from its bright blue exterior – try this place once and it just might become your “second home.” Home Bar & Grill is a popular destination for people looking for a comfortable place to enjoy drinks, local fare and sports TV. The drink menu consists of beers and mixed drinks, including Home Bar & Grill’s very own “WTF Martini.”

The food is reasonably priced for the portion size (it’s best to share dishes rather than order individually), and menu options like tater tot nachos, negitoro and kim chee fried rice will curb any local food craving. Go before 8 p.m. to take advantage of discounted drinks during happy hour.

YA R D H O U S E Boasting over 100 different beers on tap, Yard House is every man’s dream. Make your beer even better by ordering the 32-oz “half yard” size. If beer is not for you, fear not - mixed drinks of all kinds are available as well. The food menu of-

fers a selection of American cuisine ne and twists on local favorites. Get the sweet potato fries, which come me with a maple bacon cream dip, forr a snack or appetizer. For a meal, try ry the (Mac + Cheese)2 , an intensisified version of classic mac n’ cheese se loaded with chicken, bacon, mushshrooms, truffle oil and Parmesan and nd cheddar cheese. Enjoy your food od and drinks while listening to classic sic rock playing in the background.

F I V E O C E A N K A R AO K E BA R A N D R E S TAU R A N T With no signs clearly visible ble from the street, it’s easy to miss this Korean bar (formerly known as Karaoke Speed), but don’t let that stop you from trying it out. Revamped under new management, it has become a great spot to relax at, whether you’re by yourself, with one person or a large group of people.

While there is a selection of beer and hard liquor, the real star of this place is soju, a distilled Korean beverage comparable to vodka. You can buy bottles of soju either straight or mixed with flavors like yogurt, strawberry and pineapple. Complement your drinks with one of the many Korean dishes to share (the kim chee pancakes and fried chicken are especially good) and karaoke.

You can’t go wrong for $1 per song.

MU R P H YʼS BA R A N D G R I L L Located in the heart of downtown, Murphy’s Bar and Grill

provides a bit of Irish spirit for Hawai‘i residents. There are 15 beers on tap (you might even get a design in the foam if you sit at the bar) and a small selection of red and white wines. But the Irish atmosphere and drinks aren’t the only things Murphy’s is known for: Its food has been featured on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.” Host Guy Fieri highly recommends the Shepherd’s Pie, fi lled with lamb and vegetables and topped with mashed potatoes.

Another favorite is Murphy’s Best Corned Beef & Cabbage. Drink and food specials vary, so check with your server.

3 rice replacements SHAYNA DIAMOND Opinions Editor Rice is seemingly unavoidable, especially living in Hawai‘i.

Within this state’s blend of cultures, rice is a staple in many dishes. Unfortunately, white rice has many unhealthy properties and contains a slew of lectins, phylates and a lot of gluten. Some research suggests that these can damage the intestinal lining if eaten in high quantities. Plus, eating the same thing time and time again can be boring. Luckily, there are plenty of grains to mix up the routine.

COUSCOUS I may be prejudiced because couscous was one of my favorite foods as a kid, but it’s perhaps the easiest grain to make and is versatile. All you need is boiled

water and couscous at a 2:1 ratio. Simply boil the water, add couscous and stir. In about five minutes, the water should all be absorbed, and you can remove it from the heat. It should be light and f luffy, not gummy.

Couscous absorbs f lavor easily, especially when the f lavor is added during boiling. This could be bad if you add too much salt, but it could be a benefit in other cases, like when using chicken stock in place of water.

TA B O U L I W hen it comes to tabouli, I love nothing more than making it as zesty as possible, and I find it to be a compliment to just about any meal. Cook it at a 1:3 ratio with boiling water. However, tabouli may take up to 10 minutes to cook and absorb the water completely.

To bring out a sharp fl avor, I add olive oil, chopped mint and lemon juice. You can also include bell peppers, tomatoes and olives to get extra veggies in.

Q U I N OA

Quinoa is gaining in popularity as a healthy, high-protein and gluten-free alternative grain, and for good reason.

W hile it takes the longest to cook of these three grains, it ’s still fast, cooking in 10 to 12 minutes with a 1:2 ratio of boiling water.

Quinoa is heartier than tabouli, but the same types of recipes can be applied to both. If you’re not a big fan of zest, try savory fl avors instead. Adding garlic, spinach and red bell peppers or tomatoes give a great balance of fl avors as well as generous portions of vitamins and protein.

PHOTOS BY SHAYNA DIAMOND / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

If you can’t get your hands on these options, substituting brown rice for white is still a healthier option.

Binge and splurge restaurants A LVIN PARK Senior Staff Writer Although many college students den are conscious to dine at restaurants that are within their retau stricted budget, they still want to stri be able to splurge once in a while.

Ditch the dollar menu and consider the following restaurants the next time you have a little extra money to spend on a lavish dining experience.

Decadent and delightful desserts DAVIN AOYAGI Editor in Chief

Students no longer have to endure an entreé to satiate their sweet tooth. Here are several venues that exclusively serve desserts.

P I L L B OX P H A R M AC Y Next door to Himalayan Kitchen and Paul Mitchell the School Honolulu, Pillbox Pharmacy seems like an aging convenience store that primarily distributes medicine. In the corner of the pharmacy, however, are various choices of ice cream flavors, ranging from butter praline to birthday cake. What makes Pillbox Pharmacy noteworthy, however, is the price: a regular cone runs at $1.44 and comes with a heaping scoop of ice cream. Cash only.

MILANO FREEZER

H O KU L A N I BA K E S H O P

Situated in Mānoa Marketplace, Milano Freezer offers a variety of gelato and yogurt flavors. These flavors are rotated occasionally, and usually run around $5 per gelato bowl. Toppings range from strawberries to waffle chips. Parking is available in Mānoa Marketplace.

Located in Restaurant Row, Hokulani Bake Shop offers unique cupcake f lavors: strawberry guava cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, lilikoi cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut cup cakes w it h butter cream f rosting.

Hokulani’s c up c a kes usually run around $3 per cupcake.

L E O N A R D ʼS BA K E RY Celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, Leonard’s Bakery offers a variety of cakes, cookies and pastries. Leonard’s, however, is most well known for their malasadas (fried and sugar-coated dough).

Situated between Da Falafel King and Chiang Mai Thai Restaurant, Peace Café is hard to spot when speeding down South King Street. After the closure of my favorite vegan restaurant Blossoming Lotus on Kaua‘i, I have yet to fi nd a vegan venue that can compare. My friend suggested Peace Café, saying it wasn’t as good as Blossoming Lotus, but it did come close. I had to see if he was exaggerating.

Also, she did not inform us that you must serve yourself water from the water cooler on the corner of the counter. After grabbing our water and the utensils that were provided at the end of the counter, we sat down to wait for our food. The wait was only about 10 minutes and a different, much friendlier girl brought out our food, greeting us with a big smile.

Remember that you must also clean up after yourself by putting your cups and utensils in a bin and throwing away your paper plates.

Serg’s Mexican Kitchen JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor Looking for Mexican food near the university? Try Serg’s Mexican Kitchen.

Serg’s provides instant access to authentic Mexican cuisine. The restaurant provides outdoor seating, but is covered by a tarp to protect customers from the frequent Mānoa rain.

However, it is the food that drives customers to Serg’s.

“We’re actually famous for our fl autas and they’re our number one most-ordered dish,” said Serg’ss emp employee Amanda Drake.

Serg One of the newer aadditions to Serg’s menu is elote, which is a type of Mexican corn on the cob.

Elote is typically eaten with a condiment such as salt, sour cream, or chili pepper and adds to the au-

thenticity of Serg’s as it is rarely found at other Mexican restraunts.

Also, Serg’s provides select dishes at value-friendly prices.

“Our burritos are giant,” said Drake. “You get a side of rice and beans.

They’re [$8.75] before tax. They’ll fill you up. It’s enough for two people.”

In addition, Serg’s also provides different types of specialty dishes throughout ughout the week.

“On certain ain days we have menudo,” said Drake. ake. “Friday, Saturday and Sunday, is tripe soup and that’s really popular. ar. On Wednesdays we have chile rellenos. llenos. It’s a giant chile and it’s stuffed fed with cheese, slathered with red d or green sauce.”

City Café: tasty Taiwanese treats PAIGE TAKEYA Chief Copy Editor The sweetest desserts are found in the unlikeliest places.

Nestled in a strip mall behind Walgreens by Ala Moana, City Café is a tiny shop dedicated to serving up sandwiches, bubble teas and – most importantly – decadent shave ice.

Phone: 808 398 759 808-398-7598

T H E ATMO S P H E R E City Café is as low-key as it gets.

The restaurant contains no more than four to five tables for patrons to squeeze onto (all no-nonsense chairs and tables not unlike what you might find in a classroom) and is painted with a plain but cheerful island color palette and mural.

Behind the counter, the shelves are lined with bottles of syrup and other kitchen items. It reminds me

strongly of the cramped-but-homey settings preferred by Shimazu Store, another shave ice shop.

The shop is manned by the taciturn owner and her counter staff.

Their service is efficient and fast, but they’ve never been especially friendly in the year that I have been acquainted with their shop.

THE FOOD The highlight of City Café has to be their Taiwanese shave ice. This delicacy differs from the fruity offerings found elsewhere on the island: Brown sugar syrup is the default flavor, and the real star (rather than the garnish) is what goes on top.

Toppings include caramel flan, ice cream, condensed milk, fruit jelly (including coffee), mochi balls, azuki beans and tapioca, among others.

Prices range depending on the quantity of ingredients, from onethree different toppings for $3.34 to

$5.25 for five-seven toppings – a steal considering the size and quantity of the final product. Their cheap prices extend to the rest of their offerings as well: milk and ice-based bubble drinks cost $2.63 for a tall and $3.10 for a grande. A blended drink costs $3.10 for a tall and $3.58 for a grande – a considerable discount from the prices found only a few streets away at Ala Moana coffee shops.

City Café also offers a variety of sandwiches with prices starting at $5.25.

THE VERDICT

City Café is affordable and delicious: If you’re craving something sweet – and different than what you’d fi nd at a typical shave ice store or ice cream shop – then their Taiwanese shave ice is perfect for both you and your wallet.

C HANEL H EBARU Contributing Writer A few days ago, some friends and I decided to venture into this all-vegan eatery for dinner. Being the veggie lover that I am, I fi gured there would not be many items that would surprise me.

When trying to fi nd this place on South King Street, I recommend having your passengers keep a lookout because it is easy to miss.

The fi rst word that came to mind when I stepped into Loving Hut was “clean.” The combination of muted yellow walls and white tables gave off a calm aura. A television running an endless stream of vegan news reports did contrast with the ambiance.

The waitresses provided pleasant service and, since this place was small, at least one of them was always in view just in case we needed assistance or had any questions. Fortunately no extra service was needed, as our food was served quickly.

FOOD L oving Hut ’s dinner menu, like their décor, was simple.

But our decisions were difficult since ever ything looked deli-

cious. We started off sharing one order of crispy rolls ($4.50) as an appetizer. They were similar to any other vegetable spring roll I have had, so they were nothing special, yet it was comforting to know that it did not taste wildly unique.

We all opted to try some thing different. One friend ordered Guru Curr y (1) ($9.25), a basic coconut curr y dish featuring taro and tofu in addition to potatoes and carrots.

My other two friends got Fabulous Pho (2) ($9.50) and Royal yal Noodle Soup (3) ($9.95), two wo soup -based dishes that used, in addition to rice noodles, mushshrooms and tofu, plenty of meat eat substitutes in the form of soy protein and gluten. The broths ths for both of the soups were nicely ely f lavored and not bland.

After much debate, I decided ded to get the Island Jewel (4) ($9.50).

50).

It was the best: It was presented in an Asian stir-fry style with a mix of vegetables, faux-shrimp made of yam root, sweet savory sauce and a scoop of brown rice.

MO C K M E AT For those of you meat lovers that are adventurous enough to

try this vegan restaurant, I suggest you be prepared for dishes that have mock meat. It is a meat substitute that aesthetically looks like meat, but is not.

I had the opportunity to sample the mock shrimp and “meat ” made of soy protein served with the soups. They were both interesting, and the f lavor is a little different but not too far off from the real thing.

NICOLYN CHARLOT KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

NICOLYN CHARLOT Contributing Writer The Red Ginger Health Café is a quaint restaurant nestled on the second floor of the Mānoa Marketplace.

Based on the good Yelp reviews, I was eager to try this restaurant. So did it live up to the hype?

ATMO S P H E R E

Campus Center Dining Proudly brought to you by

Student Affairs Dining Services

Red Ginger’s decor features white walls and a simple bamboo design detailed into a corner. A few plants decorate the room, creating an atmosphere that is fresh and calming. When I went, the background hummed with Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain,” which suited the scene surprisingly well.

The food was moderately priced, with most items falling between $5 and $10. All of the options were healthy, and many were vegetarian-friendly.

My fi rst impression was defi nitely a good one. I requested a chicken salad wrap and a Very Berry Smoothie. One of my friends ordered the turkey avocado sandwich and the other asked for a turkey cranberry sandwich.

We sat down at one of the small tables scattered around the room. The woman who served us was nice and cheery and our food came out quickly, so I was pleased with Red Ginger’s efficiency and service. Unfortunately, I was less enthused by the food itself.

FOOD My chicken salad wrap was tasty, but the flour on the tortilla made it difficult to appreciate the flavor of the contents. The wrap was good otherwise, since the chicken salad and various vegetables blended well together. Red Ginger even surprised me by adding grapes to the mix, which I enjoyed. Some unremarkable tortilla chips joined the wrap and sandwiches.

The smoothie was appetizing but unusually creamy. While the taste was fine, the texture of it threw me off entirely. I’m used to smoothies having a few fruit chunks in them, but this felt like I was drinking a berry-flavored milkshake, which was different, though not necessarily bad. The turkey avocado sandwich tasted good, but again, there was a single element that threw it off – cream cheese.

Regrettably, the same thing also happened with the cranberry turkey sandwich. This was the dish that had the most recommendations on Yelp, yet my friends and I were unimpressed. Initially it tasted like an adequate turkey sandwich, but out of nowhere the bitter taste of cranberries was shoved into the mix, making the whole thing strange and unpleasant.

VERDICT Ultimately, Red Ginger tried too hard to be different. The food was okay, and though I felt like I was

eating a healthy and well-balanced meal, the strange combinations of fl avors and textures kept me from truly enjoying the food. Their creativity may have worked with my wrap and grapes, but I cannot say the same for the turkey sandwich with cream cheese. Although it did taste good, it was difficult to enjoy because I was thrown off by the unusual combination of fl avors.

Perhaps I’m simply not an expert in hip health foods, but my opinion is that visiting the Red Ginger Health Café was an interesting experience, though not one I intend on repeating in the future.

Get your Kpop on at Red House BR ANDON HOO Associate Chief Copy Editor

Red House in Honolulu opened its doors less than a year ago, offering more than typical Korean food. The restaurant’s Korean fusion food mixed with their modern red decor and never-ending projection of Korean music videos give off a hip, trendy vibe perfect for today’s Kpop-loving college student.

Nestled along many other Korean restaurants on Ke‘eaumoku Street, Red House’s bright red exterior sets it apart from the rest.

But does the food follow suit?

ATMO S P H E R E

Upon opening the door to the restaurant, perhaps the first thing you notice is the large wall dedicated to playing projected music videos from top Korean artists (1). A bookshelf next to the door offers Korean magazines to keep you busy, should you have to wait for an available table.

The interior decor gives off a fun atmosphere fitting for a younger generation with its

1

industrial-brick facade walls on one side and giant red cut-out images on the other, accented by sleek and modern furniture with a contemporary silver, white and red color scheme (2).

FOOD While Red House does offer a few typical Korean entrees, such as kalbi and bibimbap, the menu focuses on fusion cuisine. The back of the menu lists their more popular dishes if you have trouble deciding what to get.

I chose to order the spicy pork with rice balls ($21.99) (3), which came on a hot plate with four rice balls and thin slices of spicy pork atop a bed of cabbage.

The rice balls were lightly seasoned and mixed with peas and carrots and covered in thin strips of nori. My companions and I enjoyed the pork, but noted that the pieces contained more fat than we would’ve liked. The rice balls were nothing more than “all right.”

My fi rst friend ordered the white topokki ($13.99) (4), one of their three twists on regular topokki, a stir-fried rice cake

dish popular in Korea. The bitesized rice cake pieces came with a creamy alfredo-like sauce mixed with a few vegetables. Initially we all enjoyed the dish, but after a few pieces the chewy rice cakes became a bit too much.

My second friend opted for the regular sized pizza tonkatsu ($14.99), which is two large, flat pieces of tonkatsu topped like a pizza, with tomato sauce, mozarella cheese and a few sprinklings of green and red bell peppers with a mildly sweet katsu sauce all over. The plate also comes with two scoops of rice and a side of cole slaw. The pizza received mixed reactions ranging from “it’s so good” to “it’s so weird.”

VERDICT While the atmosphere of the restaurant is great for the trendy twenty-something, the menu prices are a bit too high for a typical student budget. The food wasn’t too bad, but compared to other fusion restaurants such as Shokudo, we were expecting a bit more. Perhaps I’ll stop by again one day, but it’ll have to wait until I’ve got a bigger wallet.

This creation will satisfy your munchies and can be carried virtually anywhere. Whole-wheat tortillas are less processed than your average flour tortilla, which means that they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been stripped of as many essential nutrients.

1 whole-wheat tortilla 2 Tbsp peanut butter ½ cup sliced apple 1 container of your favorite yogurt

ENGLISH MUFFIN SANDWICH CH A bagel sandwich can be a treat to enjoy every once in a while, but they tend to be high in calories and come with unhealthy toppings. An Engnglish muffin, however, has about the same amount of calories as half of a bagel and can be modified in hundreds of ways.

Ingredients:

1 English muffin 1 slice turkey 1 slice low-fat cheese Directions: 1. Put one slice of turkey on bottom half of muffin, and then the slice of cheese.

2. Top with the other half of the muffin and put into toaster oven for 5-7 minutes, or until crispy.

TATER TOT CASSEROLE Ingredients:

1 lb hamburger 1 large can of cream of mushroom soup

1/4 onion, chopped 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 bag tater tots 1 small can of corn

Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. Brown meat and onion together, drain grease.

Mix in cream of mushroom soup.

3. Spread mixture evenly in the bottom of a medium-sized baking dish.

4. Sprinkle corn and grated cheese over meat mixture. Top with tater tots, covering completely.

5. Bake at 450 degrees for 25 minutes.

CHICKEN DEVAN Ingredients:

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise 1 large can cream of chicken soup

1 bag frozen broccoli 3 Tbsp lemon juice ce 2 tsp curry powder er

Directions: 1. In a medium skillet, cook chicken breasts.

2. Place frozen broccoli in a bowl and microwave for four minutes, drain excess water and set aside.

3. In a large skillet, combine cream of chicken soup, mayo, lemon juice and curry powder over low heat. Cut up chicken and stir into sauce. Add broccoli, but do not overstir or broccoli will get mushy.

Add more lemon juice or curry if stronger flavor is desired.

4. Serve over any kind of pasta or potatoes. Our family favorites are rice or egg noodles, but it also tastes good on toasted French bread as an open-faced sandwhich.

Korean steamed egg dish

10% OFF Take-Out at JJ’s Bistro

SOYOUN JOO Contributing Writer

w/ student ID Home of the best four course meal in town!

Gaeranjim, or Korean steamed egg, is simple and filling. This Asian staple provides many health benefits and is financially sustainable for consumers.

Each bowl serves about four people and contains 265 calories and 17.6 grams of fat. This is much better than microwaveable meals or fast food, which could be at least 350 to 900 calories per serving with higher amounts of fat and sodium.

Requiring only four eggs, water, salt and scallions, it is the best type of meal for an impoverished college student.

A piping hot bowl of gaeranjim can be enjoyed with white or brown rice and can be modified to accommodate a person’s taste by adding spices or herbs.

Dining Guide Treat yourself to breakfast COMPILED BY SAR AH NISHIOK A Contributing Writer Let’s say you have a busy week coming up and you’re worried that you won’t have time to eat breakfast every morning. If you invest a little time in baking, you can have some delicious muffins that are easy to grab on your way out the door or can be packed as a snack for breaks between classes. This recipe is adapted from Delish-blog. com and is personally endorsed by this author and her hungry roommates.

PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE OCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS S (Yields a dozen muffins) Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour 1/3 cup white sugar 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 3 Tbsp butter, melted 1/2 cup peanut butter 1 cup milk 1 large egg, beaten 3/4 cup chocolate chips Directions: 1. Preheat your oven to 350° F and take your peanut butter out of the fridge so it can warm up a bit.

2. Combine all your dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

3. Mix in your milk, egg and then peanut butter. Finally, fold in your chocolate chips.

4. Fill muffin cups 3/4 of the way, and bake for about 15-20 minutes – the muffins should be a light golden brown. You’ll know they are done when you can poke them all the way through to the bottom of the pan with a toothpick and there is no batter on it when you pull it out.
