Healthy St. Patrick’s Day Nomz

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Vanderbilt chapter.

St. Patrick’s Day is typically associated with drinking. But what is a good drink without some great food to go along with it? You might think that tailgating for St. Paddy’s on an empty stomach is a good idea, but it’s not, no matter how tiny your crop top is. So plan to make brunch with your friends and cook up some of these delicious recipes, which happen to be both healthy and delicious! The secret is not deprivation- it’s making nutritious versions of your favorite foods and enjoying every last bite!

Stacey Oswald, originally from South Florida, came to Vanderbilt as a member of the class of 2015 and got involved with HerCampus her freshman year. She became assistant editor that year and is now the Campus Correspondent for Vanderbilt HC as a sophomore. Stacey is currently a columnist for Ask Miss A- Nashville and the life section of The Hustler. She's also very involved in her sorority, Kappa Delta, as well as Invisible Children. Outside of school and her extracurriculars, Stacey finds happiness in many sources, the most crucial being exercise and the sun. She loves to attend exercise classes and is an avid runner; she recently completed the Country Music Half Marathon. She also loves Vitamin D, especially when on the beach- though of course, she only soaks up the sun after applying SPF. A few of the things Stacey couldn't live without? Good food (especially from Sweet Cece's, Bricktops, and Samurai Sushi), great books (The Hypnotist's Love Story is a recent favorite), her family back in Florida, her wonderful boyfriend, and all of the great friends she's made at Vanderbilt.
