ROASTING MARSHMALLOWS, HOT DOGS AND BRATS OVER CAMPFIRES CERTAINLY IS FUN, BUT WHAT’S THE PLAN FOR OUTDOOR-DRIVEN BREAKFASTS OR SNACK TIMES? Create toasty cinnamon rolls by wrapping them around skewers and warming over a cozy fire. Then, simply brush the roll spirals with butter, and sprinkle with sugar and spice or something else nice.

A bonus of this recipe is not having to invest much clean-up time, not even utensils, if done carefully and eaten creatively This recipe also doubles for an easy campfire treat.

Chesterfield Lifestyle | October 2021

OUTDOOR BREAKFAST WITH A TWIST, OR A SWEET SNACK

CinnaSpirals Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Servings: 4 Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 5 minutes, then towel dry before using.

INGREDIENTS

+ 1 tube refrigerated crescent rolls (12.4 ounces), with or without commercial icing

+ 1 tablespoon cinnamon + ¼ cup sugar + ¼ cup powdered sugar + 2 tablespoons butter, melted + Water + Wooden skewers, marshmallow sticks or metal skewers DIRECTIONS 1. Mix cinnamon and sugar on a plate.

2. Split crescent dough and wrap each one around its own skewer.

Dough can be cut in half if smaller rolls are desired. It helps to roll dough into 6-inch ropes. Wrap each rope tightly around a long wooden or metal skewer (or stick), beginning one-half inch from pointed end; pinch each end to secure.

3. Brush wrapped skewer with butter and roll in cinnamon sugar mix.

4. Cook each skewer over campfire for approximately 5 minutes, until golden brown, rotating like a marshmallow.

5. Create powdered sugar glaze by combining ¼ cup powdered sugar, and 3 tablespoon water, then drizzle over cooked spirals.

Note: If crescent tube comes with ready-made icing, remove and transfer to a resealable plastic bag for drizzling. Cut or rip a small hole in one corner of icing bag; stream icing over spirals.

LOCAL LIMELIGHT ARTICLE JULIE BROWN PATTON MANY PEOPLE ASSOCIATE FALL FLAVORS WITH JOYFUL MEMORIES, SAFETY AND COMFORT, MUCH LIKE HOW PEOPLE SEEK OUT FRESH VEGETABLES COME SUMMERTIME. Fall season memories reflect warmth and coziness, with pumpkin, berry, caramel and apple flavors delivering added bonuses to the overall feeling of relaxation.

Autumn's cool winds are a welcome reprieve, along with a variety of comfort foods, before colder winter weather whisks in. Even crackling fireplaces with freshly made popcorn make movie nights better during fall months.

Whatever fall foods come to mind, there are plenty of Chesterfield restaurants delivering outstanding choices.

Chesterfield Lifestyle is happy to spotlight a few here.

COZY UP TO THE M E LT I N G P O T

IT'S TIME FOR COMFORT FOODS TO RETURN LIKE OLD FRIENDS

Fall Foods

One can’t go wrong with any of the fondues at the Melting Pot, says Karen Barnett, co-owner. “They’re a welcome treat, especially when we seek warm coziness.”

Located at 294 Lamp and Lantern Village in Chesterfield, the Melting Pot is home to cheese blends that originate from Wisconsin creameries. Karen says she and her husband, John, opened the Melting Pot of Town & Country during 2003. “For many years we’ve been part of our guests’ celebrations and special occasions, and we’re happy to help everyone make new memories in the future,” she adds.

She says autumn is a great time to embrace their classic Alpine cheese, which has a small amount of nutmeg sprinkled in, and reminds diners of the mountains and cooler weather.

Karen says seasonal fondues are fun, as well as the chocolate fondue included in their “Best Fondue Friends Forever” menu. It incorporates cheese fondue with various dippers, a fresh salad and a round of extra-special BFFF Dippers consisting of macarons, créme puffs and other dessert bites.

And, being all-inclusive, the Melting Pot also has a vegan cheese option.

Be sure to ask about having rose petals and candles pre-set for a reserved table for “Thursdate” there.

Vito's In The Valley Quinoa Butternut Salad Plus Salmon

FALL IN LOVE WITH V I T O 'S I N T H E VA L L E Y Quinoa butternut salad plus salmon was introduced just in time for fall at Vito’s In The Valley, 138 Chesterfield Towne Center. The dish includes roasted sweet potatoes, butternut squash, corn, spinach, cranberries, almonds, quinoa and honey vinaigrette dressing.

Or, for greens with a bit more protein, they have a steak salad that includes bites of prime angus tenderloin medallion, mixed greens, tomato, blue cheese crumbles, almonds, red onion, dried cranberries, white balsamic vinaigrette and fried onion straws.

Vito’s co-owners Giovanni and Jessica LaFata remind that they also have a cheesy breakfast/ brunch pizza that’s available all day, every day. It includes alfredo sauce, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and mozzarella cheese, and Jessica recommends dipping the pizza bites into delicious maple syrup.

“Our chicken parm sandwich is an oldy but goody for good reason,” adds Jessica.

She encourages everyone to stay tuned for week-to-week autumn specials.

Harpo's Chesterfield

HONE IN ON H A R P O 'S G R I L L & B A R Harpo’s Chesterfield at 136 Hilltown Village Center offers daily food and drink specials seven days a week.

Known as a Missouri staple, Harpo’s built a reputation on a friendly staff, delicious food and fun nightlife. Harpo’s Chesterfield is a place many people head to for their sports bar atmosphere and spacious patio when fall football begins or for music and dancing.

Need tailgating food? The classic Harpo’s menu includes Bavarian pretzels served with a choice of of Pale Ale beer cheese, white queso cheese or honey mustard. How about their Philly cheesesteak rolls? Or perhaps it’s time for an authentic Chicago-style Italian beef with sautéed peppers and onions served on a buttered hoagie. Their adult grilled cheese contains American and Monterey Jack cheeses with sliced tomato and bacon between slices of buttery Texas toast.

Among Harpo’s bevy of burgers is one that seems very fall-related: Schlafly Pale Ale Burger, which is topped with a Schlafly Pale Ale cheddar cheese spread and an onion ring. For those who like to combine fall-related ingredients all on one plate, there’s the Hangover Horseshoe, which is a half-pound burger patty served on a bed of their famous French fries topped with American cheese, then smothered with chili, onions, jalapeños and shredded cheese.

Their dessert bombes come in cherry, chocolate or peanut butter flavors.

He says they pay attention to authentic details, such as using saffron rice, for example, as a nod to the influence that the Arabic world had on Italy.

Alen witnessed engaging hospitality from his parents and his upbringing in Croatia. His firsthand knowledge of handmade cuisine and the food industry started at an early age. His goal at the restaurant now is to ensure the highest service levels create an unforgettable atmosphere.

With the restaurant only being six months young, Alen says diners already have traveled from both U.S. coasts to soak up the elevated service and experience.

“We’re in the midst of testing and developing some new, one-of-akind recipes for this fall, and as always, Chef Sergio is doing it in collaboration with the Iaccarino family,” reveals Alen. “All of our Casa Don Alfonso ambassadors are waiting with smiles to welcome guests warmly and to encourage everyone to feel like part of our family.”
