Together Remotely – Quarantine Kitchen (Round 1)

Now more than ever, it is important that we stay connected to one another. The Student Life Staff Development Committee has launched Together Remotely, a series of posts to help staff across the Division of Student Life keep up with each other and share their experiences, successes, and stories during these extraordinary times. We hope that these posts can in some way brighten your day, give you a great idea, or just help you to feel a little more connected.

Content is staff-generated, informal, and open-ended… and we need more! To submit your own content, please visit the content submission form and respond to any of the areas that interest you, or email Nathan Miglich.

Student Life Staff in the Kitchen

THE PROMPT: Share favorite recipes, go-to snacks, or other culinary creations.

Glenna Chang

Associate Vice President, Student Life

Jannah Maresh

Director, Parent & Family Programs

Snacks: TJ Takis and Cheetos con Limon — I eat it after I work out, and I also eat it when I am sad but only during the DAY TIME!!!

Favorite Goo of the Moment: Calabrian Peppers (I’ve been adding them to my cream cheese for a spicy bagel sandwich).

Rice or Ramen with Pork Belly, Garlic Chips and Bok Choy: Make instant ramen (fancy ramen from Whole Foods), get pork belly from Trader Joe’s (in the box), slice and toast garlic chips, and toss bok choy in sesame oil and soy sauce — and then share and eat!

My last meal on earth will be roasted chicken by Jacques Pepin.

Oh and did I forget to mention that I love coffee and chicken wings and Negronis and brut Rose — I am doing ok, I swear!

Lately I’ve become a big fan of zucchini noodles! This recipe is amazing!

Protein Fluff Recipe

  • Melt chopped dark chocolate with sunbutter and just enough milk to cover a small glass container.
  • Heat for 30 sec in the microwave.
  • Let sit for 1-2 min, then stir until mixed.
  • Add 1/2 tablespoon of protein powder.
  • Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Good for days, but I guarantee it won’t last that long! Add fluff to pancakes, fruit, or just eat straight with a spoon (my personal favorite).
