FOODIE FA
YOUR HOUSE SECS GUIDE TO A TASTY TEA

We’re over a month into the new year now, and I wonder how many people will have broken their new year’s resolution already.
Of these resolutions, many will be focused around good lifestyle choices and healthy eating. As one of your LMSS house
secretaries this year, I wanted to give you some recipes and tips to keep you eating well and don’t cost much or take up your
valuable time. For those who haven’t made a resolution but may just want some food inspo to get you through the semester- I
hope you enjoy reading. As a veggie lover, I have been on the hunt for some quick and easy plant based meals for you to try
out. Whether you are vegetarian or not, I think we should all be a bit more conscious of what we eat and where it comes from.
Plus buying meat makes your weekly food shop a whole lot more expensive so instead of having to say no to that night out or
drink down the pub maybe try a more veggie based diet for a bit as a way of budgeting your money.
LUNCH
BREAKFAST
1. Veggie stuffed omelette –
great if you need to use up
anything in the fridge
• 3 eggs
• cup spinach
• few mushrooms
• tomato
• salt and herbs as you wish
Oil the pan, add spinach and
mushrooms until cooked, then add
tomato after. Keep these aside. In a
new pan, add butter and pour the
eggs (beat in bowl before adding to
pan), cook for 2-3 mins, add veg to
half of the omelette and fold the
omelette in half. Cook until golden
brown.
This recipe will work with most
veggies or extras, like peppers,
onions, broccoli or cheese.

2. Midweek overnight oats –
great breakfast or snack
• 1/3 cup preferred milk
• 1/3 cup preferred yoghurt
• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• mashed banana
• anything else you fancy eg
nut butter, fresh or frozen fruit,
spices.
Add ingredients to a container and stir
all together, plain or flavoured yoghurt
works. If you want to add frozen
berries do this now. You can add
honey if you like to make it sweeter.
Put in the fridge overnight so its ready
for you in the morning. Add fresh fruit
or nut butter in the morning and its
ready to go.
Roasted chickpea pittas
1 Tin chickpeas
Paprika
Pita flatbreads
Tzatziki or favourite sauce
Onion, lettuce, tomato –
any salad
Drain the chickpeas. Fry with oil,
paprika, salt and pepper. Roast
chickpeas for 20 mins or until brown.
Get your pita covered in your sauce,
add the chickpeas and salad, fold and
then your done.
