MOA Cafe Turkey Harvest Croissant

This is the real recipe, from the real Museum of Art Cafe at BYU. I know the ingredients sound a little weird, but trust me--it's INCREDIBLE. Make it just like the recipe says, and you won't be disappointed. It is the perfect combination of salty, sweet, crunchy, and soft. Just do it.

Cream Cheese Spread:

8 0z. cream cheese

1 round tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 c. pineapple juice

1/3 c. sugar

Combine in food processor or beat with beaters until smooth.

For each sandwich you make, you will need:

Cream Cheese Spread

Croissant

3 slices turkey, the thin-cut deli stuff

1 slice provolone

3 slices of apple

1 leaf of green leaf lettuce

Cut croissant in half, and put Cream Cheese spread on both sides

Layer green leaf lettuce, turkey (rolled), cheese, and apples on sandwich.

Cluff's Chicken Pitas

I based these off of my favorite item at my favorite restaurant: Cluff's Carhop Cafe in Fillmore, UT. Obviously, we don't get to go there very often, so I had to invent my own. Not as good as the original, but tasty.

Diced chicken, cooked with a generous amount of Season All.

Diced cucumbers and tomatoes.

Lettuce.

Ranch dressing. Like any other food, the better the ranch dressing, the better it all tastes--so use the best ranch dressing you can find.

Serve all those parts on flatbread or in a pita pocket.

Lisa's Yummy Pasta

I invented this pasta for my lunch breaks when I worked at Fazoli's. It has become one of Daniel's favorite dinners. I freely admit that it tasted better with Fazoli's breadsticks on the side, but is definitely still pretty good and a nice (although less healthy) variation on spaghetti.

Ingredients:

1 pkg. noodles, cooked (any kind you like, but probably not spaghetti or angel hair. I usually use something like bow tie or ziti).

1 jar Alfredo sauce

1 can tomato sauce (15 oz, not a tiny one.)

About 2 frozen chicken breasts, thawed, sliced into strips, and cooked.

Garlic salt or powder to taste

Italian seasoning to taste

Grated mozzarella cheese (How much you use depends on how cheesy you want it, but probably 2-3 cups)

Mix all ingredients together in a 9X13 pan (but only mix in half of the cheese). Sprinkle the other half of the cheese on top. Bake covered at 350 degrees until heated through and cheese is melted. Enjoy!

Coconut Syrup

1 cup sugar

1 cup light Karo syrup

1 cup cream or half and half

1 tsp. coconut extract

boil sugar and Karo syrup until sugar is disolved

remove from heat and add cream and extract

Top pancakes with syrup, banannas, macadamia nuts, whipping cream, and shreaded coconut.
