Leo's Redesign: "lunchless?"

Hey Nomsters!

As most of you know, delivery is happening tonight! So make sure you place your orders or at least check out what we're baking up.

GtownFoodie+NN realizes that not all of you may want late night baked goods every single week, which is why this blog serves as a place to improve your overall "food experience" at Georgetown! Therefore today we're bringing you another round of "Leo's Redesign" so that you always have options. This week's Redesign is a bit personal. Unfortunately, my schedule this year doesn't leave room for lunch, so by the time I'm able to eat in the afternoon, I'm starving and the top portion of Leo's is always closed. Now, we all know that unless you use stealth-like moves (or hope that they don't see you sneak by), you won't manage to get anything from the upper portion of the dining hall. So here are some mixes for those of you who are stuck "down below."


Lunch #1: Pizza Bagels
-Bagel (downstairs)
-Marinara sauce (near "Bistro" section or at pizza station)
-Cheese (near pizza station or from salad bar)
-Toppings (pizza station or salad bar)

Toast bagel in the rotating toaster oven thing near bread station,
Add marinara sauce, cheese, and toppings,
Head on over to the microwave and nuke it for s long as you like to melt the cheese (30-40seconds).

(for a lighter option, use english muffins instead of a bagel!)

Lunch #2: Warm Tuna Melt
-Bread (2 slices, bread station)
-Tuna salad (deli area)
-Cheese (deli area)
-Tomato (deli area)
-Spinach (salad bar [optional])

Toast your bread,
Add Tuna, Cheese, Spinach and Tomato,
-Microwave on high for 30-50 seconds (until warm).

Dessert: "Cookies and Cream Froyo"
-Froyo (or ice cream)
-1 or 2 Leo's Cookies (sugar, chocolate chip, etc)

Take your cookies and break them into bite-sized, mixable pieces,
Microwave cookies for 10-15secs,
Grab some froyo or icecream,
Mix cookies in to your frozen treat "Coldstone" style!

Enjoy!

Leo's Redesign

Hey my fellow Georgetowners,

Hopefully you've enjoyed the majority of the three day weekend out with friends or just soaking up the sun. This post is the kick-off for a series of posts on how to "spice up" what our lovely Leo's has to offer.

Although our resident dining hall has some tasty offerings, sometimes you just need something new, or maybe you've gotten sick of eating all of the "safe" choices. This blog will be your solution to your Leo's issues!

Here at the Georgetown Foodie+Nightly Noms blog we're going to try to make your dining experience ten times better by giving you fun alternatives and tips to having a meal plan if you're getting sick of the typical Leo's fare. With each "Leo's Redesign" post, we'll give you a few creative alternatives of what you can make with what Leo's has to offer!

So off we go!

Breakfast: Breakfast Parfait

-1 banana
-Honey Dew or Cantaloupe melon
-Granola (or another cereal)
-1 tall cup
-Plain or Strawberry yogurt

-Cinnamon (if desired)

Dice banana and melon into small pieces,
Use half to make a layer in bottom of your cup,
Place a layer of yogurt over fruit,
Place a layer of granola over yogurt,
Add second layer of fruit and top with more granola, and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon for some added flavor

Lunch: Shrimp Penne w/ spinach

Go to the vegetarian section and pick your pasta, then on your way to the Stir Fry section (upper level), grab some spinach from the salad section in a separate bowl. Ask Stir Fryer for Shrimp (and whatever else you would like) and ask him to add the spinach.


After he's done add the mix to your pasta, add some sauce and enjoy!



Dinner:  Chicken and Cheese Quesadillas 
-1 tortilla from bread station
-1/2 grilled chicken breasts from lower lever Bistro section (cut into pieces)
-Handful each of cheese from "Make your own" pizza section and salad bar
-Vegetables (if desired)

Place chicken, cheese, and any additional ingredients on 1/2 tortilla,
Fold over so that it resembles a half moon shape,
Place in microwave or panini maker until cheese is melted



Dessert: Coke float
-1 tall glass
-Scoops of ice cream or froyo
-coke (or any other fizzy beverage)

Place ice cream in cup, add soda and enjoy
