In the kitchen.

I have been feeling inspired to cook the past few days, and wanted to share a few recipes with you.

Margherita Pizza:
I used a piece of whole wheat pita, tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, spinach leaves, and finely sliced tomato. I just put it in the oven at 350 and took the pup for a quick walk. Since I didn't time it, I'd just say to keep an eye on the pizza. I set it to broil for the last 2 minutes. So good!

I enjoyed yet another glass of cucumber water {my favorite drink}. So light & refreshing!

Veggie Burgers:
1 can organic black beans
3 finely chopped garlic cloves
1/2 onion
1/4 bell pepper
1 cup rolled oats
1 egg {be kind. use cage free eggs.}
whole wheat breadcrumbs {1/4 cup maybe? just sprinkle some in there.}
1 tsp ground cumin {I just sprinkled it in}

Pour the can of black beans into a mixing bowl and smash the beans with a fork or spoon {or use a giant ladle like I did}. Add the remaining ingredients & form 4 patties. Cook the patties in a pan on the stove until they are a little brown.

Sweet Potato Fries:
I cut up one sweet potato and added a little salt, some ground pepper, and garlic powder. Set the oven to 450 and bake for ~25 minutes, turning occasionally.

Simple. Healthy. Delicious.

Happy cooking!
