Opinion—Kimchi: my flavor of the month

Maggie Duly, Social Media Editor • November 10, 2021

Recently, I’ve been obsessed with this one recipe that may or may not be very nutritious. I call it college ramen but I try to make it chic. Yeah, okay, the base of this dish is everyone’s favorite: Maruchan Ramen. What really brings this dish home is the toppings. Kimchi is a staple food in Korean cuisine and it is the real star of my daily dinner. It’s a traditional side dish of fermented vegetables, most often napa cabbage.

Cooking with Maggie: Healthy harvesting hacks

Maggie Duly, Social Media Editor • September 20, 2021

It’s just about harvest season in Northern Michigan. Soon the nights will get too cold for open windows and the leaves will crunch under our feet. Perhaps this year you finally lived out your fantasy of having a lush summer garden full of fresh veggies and herbs. But now comes the overwhelming act of harvesting all your fresh goodies, and oh dear, there’s quite a lot.

Opinion—Plexiglas safety on campus not as advertised

Maggie Duly • April 20, 2021

Things have not gone back to the way they were before the pandemic began, yet some students feel they must attend class on campus every day of the week. One solution to this was the installation of Plexiglas in the classrooms before students were welcomed back to campus in the fall. But I’ve noticed one flaw to this “solution.” Many university classrooms don’t actually have Plexiglas for all the students as advertised.

Opinion—Live in the present, that’s what I tell myself

Maggie Duly • March 24, 2021

I bought a journal three weeks ago. Cognitive behavioral therapists often recommend journaling to help improve your mood by self identified problem solving. I haven't written in it yet. I’m not much of a handwritten person, I prefer typing and making to-do lists and notes on my phone and computer. But I also struggle with anxiety, which isn’t something I hide, in fact, I'm sure many people can tell after a few times meeting me. I don’t mind acknowledging it, it’s better than hiding it.

Opinion—If I had $31

Maggie Duly • March 1, 2021

Once NMU provides me the $31 total COVID-19 support grant, I'll be super grateful to have some fresh money in my bank account to support my impulse spending habit. I often walk through stores and look at all the things I’d love to have but can’t afford, thinking to myself ... if only I had $31 burning a hole in my pocket. What I could do with $31.

Opinion—You are what you eat

Whether it is a “fad” or not, I think it’s time for us to thoroughly ask ourselves to consider if we can do more for our environment by way of our diet. For example, implementing vegan/vegetarian meals into our weekly diets as an alternative to giving up meat and dairy altogether.

Cooking with Maggie—Homemade baked apple cider donuts

Maggie Duly • November 3, 2020

When I think of fall, I think of apple cider, donuts, pumpkins and romping around my favorite cider mill. Unfortunately, as many of you may know there are no cider mills near or around Marquette, and I’m still failing to find one in the whole U.P.

Cooking with Maggie: Preparing spaghetti squash bowls

Maggie Duly • October 12, 2020

Scrap the pasta noodles and the ceramic bowls, this dish has everything all wrapped up in one vegetable. Spaghetti squash is a seasonal vegetable that is most popular and accessible in the fall months. The squash family is versatile and can be either the heart of or a side to many recipes.

Maggie Duly • September 21, 2020

As the temperature begins to drop and the leaves start to sport their crimson, it’s evident that fall will be knocking on your door for it’s brief stay. Autumn is by far the best time of year for candle scents, scenic hikes, spontaneous road trips and tasty treats.
