Since it's dead week and I really don't have all that much time to focus on blogging right now, this will be a short post.  I wanted to share a quick vegetarian snack/light lunch that is incredibly convenient, filling, and CHEAP!

Pepper
Balsamic Vinegar (optional)
Olive Oil (optional)

Directions:

1. Toast pita pockets
2. Add black beans, corn, and a generous sprinkle of cumin, italian spices, salt, and pepper. Toss and throw in the microwave for about 45 seconds.
