What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

Tuna and Tomato Pasta:
Fry onions and garlic (add carrots and celery if you have time)
Add a can of chopped tomatoes and a can of tuna (brine or olive oil)
Add water as per instructions.

they're basic one is to fry some bacon cubes, maybe even some onions or mushrooms in a pan then when those are nearly done crack and egg over it, fry for a bit then just before the yolk is done to your preference add some shredded cheese and cook til melted
i often added in bits of leftover veg and fry that in with the bacon (you don't have to have meat in it if you don't want i just enjoy it a lot with bacon) any old thing you need to get rid of works well, great for small amounts.
i realise this doesn't sound that much different than scrambling eggs and adding in all the ingredients but the texture and tastes seem so much nicer done this way
you could also make quesedilla's low fat
a typical quesadilla is a tortilla topped with pico de gallo (freshly chopped coriander, tomatoes, onions and some chilli's with a bit of lime juice, it's gorgeous!), cheese and possible meat and of course on the side sour cream/guacamole if you want
to make a lighter version you could go heavy on the pico de gallo or use salsa, add a small amount of cheese and/or use low fat cheese, use low fat meat like chicken or skip the meat and then top with another tortilla and grill til the cheese is melted and the tortillas go slightly brown around the edges
then slice into pizza slices and use some greek yogurt instead of sour cream and skip the guacamole and you've a low fat and very tasty quick dinner!
I LOVE Oatcakes (proper Stoke ones though - not to be confused with the 'orrible Scottish ones) but it's a sacrilege to have them with anything but bacon, cheese and beans with lashings of brown sauce.... drool
Shame on you Reverbe... grated cheese, onion and mushrooms indeed :rotfl:
Edited to say - even if flatmate is veggie - a bacon, cheese and bean oatcake is worth giving up all beliefs of being a vegetarian ...
