Easy Pita Pocket Recipes Inspired by Peeta in The Hunger Games

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Harvard chapter.

Shake your friends awake. Sound the alarm. This. Is. It. In case you were not aware, the fourth and final installment of The Hunger Games, Mockingjay Part II is coming out nationwide on November 20th. We finally find out the fate of its beloved characters Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark.

If you want to celebrate like a real fan, skip the popcorn and make these two *peeta* pockets that you can easily slip into the movie theaters. They’re delicious, filling, easy to conceal, and obviously Katniss approved.
