Warm up the cookies or brownies in the microwave for 15 seconds and add a scoop of ice cream for dessert .  submitted anonymously  (Nov 2006)

Change up the chicken at the grill by asking for it with cheese and on a bun and enjoy a grilled chicken sandwich instead of a hamburger.  submitted by Justin Druba  (Nov 2006)

Wrap #23:  When the weekly deli meat is chicken breast, grab a tortilla shell and put the chicken down the center.  Next put some lettuce, onions and tomatoes on the chicken and toss in some croutons.  Pour Caesar dressing over the top along with some hot sauce(don't be conservative with the hot sauce!).  Finally add some parmesan cheese and pepper to the top and wrap it up!  If you want you can run it through the pizza oven (your lettuce will be soggy though)!  submitted by Erik Hayes  (Nov 2006)

If you come to lunch and the entree line and grill are closed you can still make your own grilled cheese.  First, toast your bread and then get some cheese from the deli then put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds to melt the cheese!  It tastes great!  submitted by Danna Sheridan   (Nov 2006)

I make the same turkey sandwich everyday...ingredients:  bread(whole grain), turkey, tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach (when available) and crushed red pepper.  It is amazing!  submitted by Jeremy Clarke  (Nov 2006)

On Tuesdays when there is bacon I make a BLT (bacon, lettuce & tomato) or a turkey club with 3 slices of toasted bread, turkey, bacon, lettuce, mayo and maybe some cheese...yummm!! submitted by Benjamin Jung  (Nov 2006)

Chili Burrito:  Chili, cheese, onions and jalapenos; grab a wrap and add all items then heat in the microwave for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.  submitted by Zachary Schiff  (Nov 2006)

Sandwich idea:  rye bread with turkey or chicken, sliced tomatoes and hummus, cooked on the panini grill.  submitted by Mariah Walton  (Nov 2006)

Great food any time of the day:  take a freshly made waffle and break it in half, put hard vanilla ice cream in between the two halves and eat as a delicious ice cream sandwich.  submitted by John Zumbrum  (Nov 2006)

New twist on Old "Ants on a Log":  Go through the salad bar and get some broccoli and some raisins.  Then get some peanut butter.  You use the broccoli to scoop up the peanut butter and then dip it in the raisins. Yummy and good for you!!  submitted anonoymously  (Nov 2006)

Wrap #76:  Order a medium omelet (I prefer ham, both cheese, onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms but it's what you prefer).  While it cooks, grab a tortilla shell and get a piece of yellow American cheese; tear the cheese in half and put two peices end to end in the middle of the shell.  When the omelet is finished, cut it into smaller peices and place it in the shell over the cheese.  Now take another piece of cheese and again tear it in half and place on top of the omelet.  Wrap it up so the ends are enclosed and asked for it to be grilled on the panini machine and it will be done and ready to eat in just two minutes.  Don't forget to add the salsa to the top!  Delicious!  submitted by Erik Hayes  (Nov 2006)

Pasta with salad dressing.  MMM!  submitted by Emma Snively  (Nov 2006)

Breakfast idea:  eggs benedict can be made with English muffins, ham, and cheese and two eggs over easy.  Putting all three on the English muffin makes a great eggs benedict.  I usually put it in the microwave to melt the cheese too!  Yum!  submitted by Abby Switzer  (Nov 2006)

Curly Fries:  Get a plate of curly fries and then add some cheese and bacon bits then microwave until cheese melts.  Garnish with sour cream!  submitted by Zachary Schiff  (Nov 2006)

Chili Cheese Fries:  Take items from different areas to make your meal.  I take fries from the grill and put the shredded cheese from the salad bar and then top with chili from the soup area.  "Bam!: as Emeril would say!  Now you've got Chili Cheese Fries!  submitted by Brant Gurganus  (Nov 2006)

Chocolate Energy Drink:  Put a cup of chocolate soft serve ice cream (or any ice cream) in the bottom of a normal glass.  Fill it 3/4 of the way with french vanilla cappaccino then top off with hot chocolate or milk.  Add chocolate syrup from the ice cream condiment section for a great way to wake up after a meal.  submitted by Kyle Douglass  (Nov 2006)

Quick Tips

Taco day:  get your lettuce and sour cream from the deli bar and cheese from the salad bar.  This frees up the drink line by the taco toppings.  submitted by Brittany McNeil  (Nov 2006)

I choose to go through the salad bar first that way I can see all of the main course offerings while I am making my salad and this way I can decide what I want for dinner while getting my salad.  submitted by Melissa Rogers  (Nov 2006)
