Pita Pizza

These fast, versitile, and delicious little pizzas are the perfect portion for a generous snack or light meal. Not to mention they are fun to make!

Pita Pizza

First, pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Assemble your pizza starting with a pita round spread with hummus (the more the merrier).

Cooked toppings could include:

• tomato
• garlic
• mushrooms
• onion
• olives
• herbs
• asparagus
• jalapenos
• bell peppers

Pretty much anything would be good. Next, pop it in the oven for about 10 minutes. The pita gets so crispy and turns out like a chip. Then top with whatever raw ingredients and serve.

Raw toppings could include:

• sprouts
• spinach
• basil
• tomato

I'm sure that there are many more options than this. I'll be uploading and experiments and updating with new variations as I find them.

Enjoy!

Quinoa and Red Bean Salad

This was my lunch for day seven, and man was it refreshing and delicious.

Pita Bread, Spinach & Garlic Hummus, and Quinoa & Red Bean Salad

This is pretty much the perfect meal for a warm summer's day, and required minimal cooking. All I had to do was simmer some quinoa on low heat for 25 minutes, chop the veggies, and stir everything together.

The salad contained:

1 diced tomato
1 diced yellow squash
4 green onions
2 napa cabbage leaves, finely sliced
1/2 cup of rinsed red beans
1/2 cup corn

Combine all of these ingredients with one cup of cooked quinoa and then toss with 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and half a cup of Salsa Verde. I'm really glad I decided not to toss out that salsa the other day--a hint of those tangy flavors worked really well with this salad. You could always buy a jar of salsa if you don't have any tomatillos (or patience) to make it yourself.

One of the most beautiful dishes thus far!
