Day 22

Breakfast: When I opened the fridge, I saw that my mom purchased my favorite brand of whole grain bagels! I toasted them and topped them off with natural creamy butter (this was a challenge since I am a crunchy girl) and an apple.

Lunch: After I rumaged through our fridge and freezer, I found enough a ingredients to make a nice little vegetable pizza. I did not call it a vegetarian pizza because anyone can enjoy it.

Vegetable Pizza
Ingredients:

• Whole grain flat bread
• Pizza sauce
• Olive or canola oil
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 sliced and halved green bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons of cooked, leftover spinach
• 1/2 thin sliced tomato
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• cumin, black pepper

Preparation:

• Preheat the oven to 425. Lay the flat bread out on a piece of foil and spread with a thin layer of oil
• Cover the flatbread in the amount of sauce that you like the spread with a layer of cheese
• Next, take turns alternating the vegetables until there are no more left
• Sprinkle with more cheese and top garnish the pizza with the spices
• Bake at 425 for 10 minutes then broil for 2 minutes or until the cheese is a golden brown color
• VOILA!
