Roasted Vegetable Pita

Trying to make major life changes is hard, meaning it's hard to find motivation. It's hard to get up and just do, especially when fear and doubt are biting at your heels. If there ever was a time for The Little Engine That Could, now is it. I need to buckle down and really evaluate what it is I need to do to take steps forward and then ACTUALLY DO IT! For tonight, I shall make a delicious little morsel and chew on some ideas, pun intended. Enjoy this tasty treat and I hope no one out there is just settling, move forward and make things happen!

  • 1 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

I don't know where these songs come from sometimes, but I was at work today and just couldn't stop singing the chorus to this CLASSIC song, don't get too hypnotized by that magnificent fire:



Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. On a cookie sheet place your cauliflower and chickpeas. Drizzle with oil, then top with your spices.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes, stir then another 5-10 minutes.
  4. In a food processor, puree your avocado dressing ingredients.
  5. In order, place a good dollop of your avocado mix onto each pita and spread it over each evenly. Then top with your veggies. Top with greek yogurt and a little more cilantro.
  6. Serve! (eat folded in half)
Happy Eatings Everyone!
