Written by Published on Updated on January 27, 2020 in Dips, Main dishes, Mediterranean cuisine

Hey guys,

How have you been?  I have been trying to make some changes to my blog for the past few days. it hasn’t worked out.  I never was or ever will be a tech wiz. Honestly, I followed every tutorial and I still just don’t get. I thought I would give it a try on my own and see what comes out but it was way too exhausting.  So, I decided to leave the blog as-is for now.  🙂

I wanted to thank those who have been sending me messages these past few days.  I really didn’t think anyone was actually trying out the recipes I have been posting.  Yes, that’s right I didn’t believe it!  The feedback was amazing and made me very happy.  

Have you ever tried Broccoli Pesto? Did you know that you can make Broccoli Pesto?  Yes? No?  hmmmm, either way, if you enjoy eating Broccoli, this recipe is definitely a must-try recipe.  I thought to myself Broccoli, wow this should be interesting to try!! and believe me I was so surprised, this is extremely tasty. 🙂  Who would have thought that Broccoli would taste this good!!

Have a great week 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

    I must admit I’m not a pesto kinda gal (sorry!) but this is great for those that are and the broccoli gives it a nice healthy twist.
    Sorry you’ve had such frustrations with your blog. Can’t say I’m super techie these days but is there anything I could help with at all? I’m always around so ask away, though don’t bank on me knowing the answers! 😂
