BBQ Balsamic Vinegar Carrot Sticks

Written by Published on Updated on June 5, 2019 in Appetizers, Side Dish

I know that there are many different types of variations to make Carrot Sticks, but maybe here is one you may not know of. 🙂  These little delicious snacks, party snacks, have been marinated overnight with BBQ Balsamic Vinegar.  Tell me this sounds interesting, No? Maybe? Yes?  ok, but if you kind of love adding Balsamic Vinegar to your salads, or meat give this a try.   

I know, I know, it sounded strange to me at the first but once I started using this vinegar I kind of went bananassss 🙂  Last year when I was in Greece I went to the supermarket to pick up a few things.  The most obvious place you would find a Food Blogger is in a supermarket of course!! hehehe  While glancing through the isles I came across these delicious tasting ready made Balsamic Vinegars. 

Orange taste in one and BBQ sauce in the other yummmm…I am not quite sure if you can find them elsewhere, but if you can ohhh please pick up these two types…you will go mad I tell you. hehehe

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

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
