Bite Size Tuna & Olive Spread Sandwiches

Written by Published on Updated on May 30, 2019 in Appetizers, Mediterranean cuisine

Ok it’s Friday!! end of the week, major tennis match today Rafa and Novak hmmmm let’s see what happens there.  The other day I was watching the match between Rafa and De Potro I was screaming so loud that I lost my voice for a while..:)  I have mentioned before that I am a fan but that’s it…I was chatting with a blogger friend the other day because I read in one of her posts that some have lost/taken their lives over a sports match. I was so upset when I read that post, because I believe  that you should  love, follow and enjoy sports and it should end there, when its over life must go back to normal, if that is working, going to school or whatever each person on this planet does on a daily basis. 

So, back to these bite size sandwiches, and of course I forgot to mention that today is Friday and my cheat day from dieting…Woo hooo hahhaha….I am going to cheat by having these mini sandwiches 🙂 and maybe maybe just a few chips 🙂…this is basically all I want to eat after a whole week of steamed Veggies and Chicken.  Now, if you have a recipe to make homemade Olive Tapa go ahead and use it, I didn’t make the Olive Tapenade I added into this recipe, I found a ready made version at the store and just that into the other ingredients.  I found this recipe many years ago, while reading a greek cooking magazine named “Kala Mageiremata” which translates into “Good Cooking:”  what a delicious combination. 🙂  Let me know if you like this!! 🙂

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
