COMMENTARY: Rutgers must further improve student dining

As students transition from their homes to colleges or universities, they become the sole decision makers of their nutrition choices. Yet, despite many wanting to make healthier choices on campus, most cannot. Research from the National Library of Medicine shows that university food environments can negatively impact students' dietary preferences. Easier access to unhealthy food and the high cost of fruit and vegetables often prevent students from selecting healthier options.

In Cranford, New Jersey, This French Bakery Pairs Flaky Croissants With Coffee

A Nutella-filled chocolate croissant so dramatic that one family nicknamed it the dinosaur dessert. That detail alone made me stop scrolling and start planning a trip. The same small New Jersey pastry shop also turns out kouign amann, the buttery Breton pastry that rarely shows up in this country. Add lavender macarons, hazelnut crunch cakes, and a pastry chef from Paris, and my curiosity was officially hooked.

8 exceptional bakeries to get Thanksgiving pies in North Jersey

Getting put on the Thanksgiving pie article is tough, because — contrary to the dinner, which is easy to mess up — I genuinely believe holiday pies are better homemade. For 98% of the time. Buttery crust filled with mom's hand-whisked custard, caramelized apples peeled by grandma; swirl on the whipped cream and you've got a slice of culinary heaven that's impossible to top... ...unless your local pastry shop is run by someone who also happens to bake at that level, in addition to having a cake-centric career, a cookie-inspired Instagram page and a professional dessert education. (Sorry, Grandma. You're not Christina Tosi .) Since I've been assigned this duty, then, I've compiled a few bakeries that can compete with, or — God forbid — surpass, the treats of our most beloved family members. From Bergen, Passaic, Morris and Essex counties, here are eight exceptional bake spots to get Thanksgiving pies in North Jersey. **NOTE: Pre-ordering is recommended, if not required, at most spots. Details included. Black Magic Bakehouse, Ridgewood Black Magic Bakehouse is at the top of the Bergen pastry food chain, as the sourdough destination wows guests with innovative bakes — from Carrot Cake Cinnamon Rolls to Key
