In the Words of John Tesh, Some Intelligence for Your Life!

Hola! I hope everyone is finally getting back into the swing of things at Furman! Since this is the first year living in North Village for some of you (as it is for me), cooking is more than likely a necessary evil (or joy, depending on the individual I suppose). For those who have not cooked too often in the past, choosing the right ingredients might be a slight challenge, especially in terms of nutritional value. I hope you find this chart worthwhile (and that it helps!). See you at the drop-in!
