You can create your own meal by combining common ingredients found around the Hard Knox Café.

Steamed broccoli

What you need:

Broccoli – from the salad bar

Bowl – near the soup

A small plate — at the end of the salad bar

The microwave — near the dessert room

Preparation instructions:

1) Fill a bowl halfway or a little over half with broccoli.

2) Add a bit of water from the drink dispenser to the bowl.

3) Take a small plate and turn it over and cover the top of the bowl with the plate.

4) Put the bowl in the microwave and set it for one minute.

5) Take the plate off. The bowl itself will be too hot to handle, so put the plate in front of the bowl and push the bowl from behind and onto the plate.

6) Add seasonings to your steamed broccoli like fresh ground pepper and garlic powder (near the microwave).

A tortilla wrap – in the shelves near the toaster oven

Turkey slices – in the sandwich bar or near the toaster oven

Lettuce – near the sandwich bar or near the toaster oven

Cream cheese – near the toaster oven along with the butter, etc.
