NO PINK PLEASE — This is the raw burger I received from the Wildcat Den on Friday, Oct. 16, 2024.

Opinion — When will the Wildcat Den stop serving raw food?

Molly Birch • November 2, 2024

If I had a nickel for every time I was served raw food at the Wildcat Den, I might be able to make back a decent chunk of the tuition money I’ve paid to fund the sorry excuse for a restaurant.  I...

YUM!—Served on Thursday, Nov. 18 2021 at Northern Lights Dining, this breaded chicken was presented with carrots and celery.

Satire—The last supper: A farewell to NLD

Opinion—Thrive with these five plant-based meals

Olivia Apa, Staff Writer • March 18, 2022
It’s so important to be eating enough food, and enough of the foods that are going to make your body feel good, especially with social lives and school work, cabin fever and jobs. The beautiful thing about cooking is that it can be entirely experimental and fun. It’s good to know that you put love and thought into the foods you consume.
The Delft and other restaurants along Washington Streets and throughout Marquette highlighted special offers for Restaurant Week. Most participating locations had deals on lunch specials and introduced new menu items.

MAKING KIMCHI—Kimchi is easy to make, nutritious and full of beneficial bacteria which can help your gut. Try making it; your health might thank you!

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—Recycling and sustainability in a pandemic

Katarina Rothhorn • February 4, 2021
This pandemic has incited a plethora of changes to our daily lives and habits, including the most obvious inclusion of physical distancing and mask wearing in public spaces. However, a less conspicuous, but equally as important impact of COVID-19 is the increased waste produced from take-out and sanitary packaging of food.

Opinion—I toured local bakeries for a sugar coma

Kelby Reichard • November 12, 2020
Among the many hidden treasures in the city of Marquette include businesses for those with a sweet tooth. There are half a dozen bakeries available to NMU students to provide plenty of opportunities to satisfy any craving. Each business has both a unique variety of products, as well as individual atmospheres that shape each bakeries’ identity.

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.
