P Hall Food Hacks

v  Spice up your waffle. Put the batter in a separate bowl before you make your waffles and go crazy: peanut butter, sprinkles, nuts, chocolate sauce, cheese and bacon, you name it.

v  Ask for a wrap from the sandwich bar and combine scrambled eggs with cheese and beans from the salad bar to make a breakfast burrito.

v  The most wonderful day is when there is ice cream for dessert! Grab a scoop and put it in your favorite pop or hot chocolate for a sweet treat!

v  Grab a tall blue cup and layer yogurt, cereal, and fruit to make your own parfait.

v  Have two pieces of toast and head over to the omelette station, and make a Denver sandwich.

v  Bring your own add-ins from the salad bar to the omelette station or the sandwich bar.

v  Get anything and everything in the Panini press! Wraps, sandwiches, even better PB&J sandwiches!

v  If you haven’t tried it yet, Sriracha hot sauce pretty much goes with anything.

v  Make bruschetta with chopped tomatoes, salt, olive oil, and dried basil.

v  Mix peanut butter, soy sauce, and Sriracha to make Thai-style sauce for dipping.

v  A toasted bagel with sauce from the pasta line and cheese from the salad bar. Pizza bagel! You could also ask to have this put in the Panini press.

v  If there’s chili, layer it with lettuce, tortilla chips, cheese, tomatoes, etc., to make taco salad.

v  On taco day make taco salad, or ask for a wrap from the sandwich station to make the ultimate taco burrito.

v  Make your own deviled eggs! Peel the eggs, take the yolks out, mix with mayo, mustard, relish, and salt and pepper. Put back in the eggs. Throw some salad-bar bacon bits on that business. 

v  Cut your waffles into quarters, on two of the pieces spread peanut butter, add slices of banana and drizzle with honey, top each with the remaining waffle. Boom. Peanut butter, banana, honey, waffle sandwich.

v  Cookies from the sandwich station + ice cream…you know where this is going.
