Veggie Burger on Pita Bread

Written by Published on Updated on August 9, 2019 in Mediterranean cuisine

Hey there everyone,

Veggies Burgers on Pita Bread was what I was going to make for lunch.  So, I went to the farmer’s market did my Veggie shopping for my burgers.  I washed, diced, peeled, mixed, shaped into hamburgers and I placed them into the oven.  In the meantime I was preparing the Pita Breads,  brushing Olive Oil, with a pinch of salt and oregano as a topping.

Now, this is one good reason why you should be paying attention to what you are doing and not thinking of a million other things that need to be done.  So, here is what happened. while I was preparing the pita bread I smelled something burning!!! It was coming from the oven, I ran opened the oven door and there they were my brown blahhh burned hamburgers. 🙁   I was so upset. I would have taken a photo but they were thrown out by someone, so that I wouldn’t continue to look at my mess. 

The farmer’s market takes place once a week so there was no where to shop for fresh veggies.   So, I went to the deli that is close by, (which does not sell fresh produce by the way) to the house and went straight to the frozen section and picked up these ready made Veggie Burgers. I asked my mother in law to look after these just in case I burned these too..hahhahaha…They weren’t as good as mine, in the sense that mine were much more fluffier and you were able to take big bites and just taste all the yummy Vegetables.  

This actually happened a few months ago, when I started working again, and trying to get back into the working world, doing too many things at the same time something was definitely going to give and back then it was my dinner. 🙁

When I do these sort of mishaps in the kitchen, it definitely means it’s time for me to take a break from everything. So, for the next two weeks I’m off and will try to just get some rest. I am wishing everyone a wonderful vacation, and see you again in two weeks. 

Hugs to all,

Sophie

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
