Garden Pita

THE most AMAZING vegan pizza that has yet to come.  
(well it's not even necessarily a pizza, it deserves it's own appreciation)
  Crust:  ~1 whole wheat pita
  Sauce: ~1 Large tomato chopped
             ~3 fresh basil and 3 parsley leaves
             ~1 Clove of Garlic minced
             ~a dash of dried oregano, salt, and pepper
             ~about a half to a whole tablespoon of olive oil for the cookin'
  Topping: ~ 1 small zucchini sliced thinly 
                 ~ 1 cup of fresh spinach chopped
                 ~ 2 large leaves of swiss chard chopped
                 ~ 3 or 4 spears of asparagus chopped
                 ~ 1 clove of garlic minced
                 ~  about half to a whole tablespoon of olive oil for the cookin' 
Finale: ~1-2 kalamata olives minced
            ~Juice of about 1/2 a small lemon
            ~Sprinkle of Balsamic Vinaigrette 

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
 Heat olive oil in a pan, toss in garlic till diffuse flavor, add tomatoes. once tomatoes soften break them up with spoon, add herbs and cook on low till complete soft.
 In a second pan, heat olive oil, add zucchini and cook for a couple minutes till the color becomes a bit vibrant. Toss in spinach, swiss chard and garlic. cook until the greens are "al-dente" 
Turn off the heat on both pans and throw the pita in a cast iron skillet to heat in the oven just for a minute. take out and top with sauce and then vegetables. Place back in the oven for about 5 minutes, possibly less...
Once it is taken out top with 1-2 chopped kalamata olives, a squeeze of half a lemon, and a sprinkle of balsamic. 
Lastly, Enjoy It's Majesty.

To finish it off, 
Vegan Hot Cocoa
I mug of Almond milk
About three teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder or to your liking
About a tablespoon of raw sugar or agave to your liking
Sip and enjoy : )

I'm sorry to say i have no pictures to show since i happened to eat it too quickly. But I am quite sure I'll be making it once again in the future and I'll make sure to set aside my drooling taste buds to snap a photo.
