Delicious Almond Coated Feta Cheese Bites

Hey there!!

How was everyones weekend?  Did the tennis fans out there enjoy the weekend matches?  You can believe I did. 🙂  I did yell, and scream at the top of my lungs when Stefano won. 🙂  How could I not right??? I have been watching Stefano play tennis for about 2 1/2 years now, I had mentioned to my hubby when I first starting following him that this guy will go far in Tennis. 🙂  Stefano is not the only Greek Tennis player I follow,  the other player’s name is Maria Sakari, she is an up and coming star and I have to say she played tremendously well in AO.!!! 🙂 

I played tennis for many years and it was so nice to see a change yesterday, a lot more net playing. 🙂   He did good yesterday, and I am sure will be just fine in the match coming up with Roberto another great player.  But let’s not forget that I am a huge fan of Rafa’s so that was the first match of the day or should I say morning.  So, I will be up at 2:30 to watch Stefano play and then later in the morning to watch Rafa.  This time zone difference is a hard one but what can I do, I just love the sport.  🙂  

In between matches I had time to make these little cheese bites to munch on while watching the match.  The only thing I didn’t do was eat, to busy rooting for Stefano hehehe…my husband tried them and he said they tasted delicious.  Once the match was over and I stopped screaming I gave them a try and they were amazing…:)  I definitely need to make these more often.

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
