Capers Balsamic Vinaigrette

Written by Published on Updated on June 3, 2019 in Uncategorized

Hey hey everyone,

How are things with everyone?  I have recovered from losing my voice, but then on Friday I woke up with and you won’t believe it, my tonsils were swollen along with a runny nose. 🙁  I can’t even remember the last time my tonsils were swollen like this!!!!  To be honest I have been feeling a bit tired.  I underestimate myself sometimes. I think I am let’s just say “Wonder Woman”, thinking that I can do everything in one day…was I wrong!!!   So, I think I need to look at my schedule, and prioritise what needs to be done first, and leave the everyday to-do list for now. 🙂  Which basically means doing everything at a slower pace. 🙂  

So, this is why I was not really up to making a big lunch yesterday (Sunday). I decided to go with this easy Capers, Tomatoes, Balsamic Vinaigrette and Fish Sticks. hahahahha  If you are not laughing yet like I am at the moment, you should..Fish Sticks???  I realllyyyyy did not want to spend to much time cooking.  I love cooking, and I know I am a food blogger, but we food bloggers sometimes need our rest from cooking. The kitchen can be soooooooo overwhelming at times.  So by now you are probably wondering Vinaigrette with swollen tonsils!! Well, I woke up on Sunday, and they were not as bad, a bit of a scratchy throat but otherwise feeling much better.  So, I  just had a tablespoon of this delicious little seasoning on my fish, and one more thing  had forgotten how tasty Fish Sticks can be. 🙂

Have a good 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
