Here are the rules for accepting this award

  • Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
  • Write a post to show your award.
  • Give a brief story of how your blog started.
  • Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.
  • Select 10-15 other bloggers you want to give this award to.

 

This is how I started my blog:

I started my blog because I was unable to find work, I happen to be the  kind of person who is restless, can’t sit still I needed to do something.  In February of this year, after going yet to another interview and not landing the job, I was so disappointed that I took Charlie, my dog for a long, veryyy long walk and just kept thinking what else can I do that would be good for me.  Different thoughts and ideas came to mind as I was walking, and talking to myself outloud, (I kinda do that occassionally) 🙂  I did the Law thing, did the secreterial thing, what else do I enjoy doing so much, COOKING!!!.  I thought why not start a cooking blog, share my recipes with others and just have fun, and I did and here I am, having a great time sharing recipes and meeting, chatting with such amazing people from  all over the world. Each person with their very special stories, difficulties, happiness, and sadness.

New Bloggers Advice:

I still consider myself  a new blogger since I have only been blogging for about 6 months, so I have been following a few newer bloggers who I consider to be very good,  but they all have expressed that they don’t have enough followers. so my advise is to be patient, followers will come as long as you continue to show that you really enjoy what your doing.  🙂

Have FUN BLOGGING!!! It’s exciting!!!

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
