just need a few basic ingredients and a splash of imagination!

stuffed with any grated salad vegetables, then add
some soya/free-range egg mayonnaise or a little tahini.
Pittas can also be used as a pizza base topped with
tomato, black olives, mozzarella and herbs.
Baked
potatoes are another nutritious snack and
can be topped with houmous (chick pea spread), a
bean salad, vegetable chilli, baked beans, vegetable
curry or mushroom sauce.
