Happy New Year everyone!!!  This is my first post of the year.  I needed to take some time off from blogging and evaluate what I have been doing this past year, and what I would like to achieve this year.  I do have a few goals that I have already started working on,  and I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed that I will hit my goal.  If you have set any goals for this year I would love to hear them. 🙂 

Thinking back to my childhood, I remember how much I loved the holidays. I remember my mom used to take us to Radio City Music Hall to watch the Christmas show.  Then we were off to Rockefeller Center for Ice Skating, lunch, and shopping.  I also looked forward to family and friends gathering at our home.  My mom cooking up a storm, setting the table for 20+ people. laughing, eating, in a greek household there was a lot of food on that table.   And of course, let’s not forget the presents.  (Remember growing up, still a child). 

This year after many years of hosting, I think it is more than 20 years I decided not to cook and just enjoy the holidays.  And I truly enjoyed it!! 2019 was another very difficult year for me, in all aspects of my life and this time off truly helped.

So as a very dear friend of mine Lesley always tells me when she sees me is Upwards and Onwards.  So, here I go!!!  I thought I would start out the year with a recipe by cooking light meaning simple, and yet delicious dip.  Made in less than 10 minutes, with very few ingredients. 

If you love to eat Avocados then please go ahead and try out this one.  I ate the whole thing…couldn’t help myself. 🙂

Have a great day!!!

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
