Fusilli Pasta topped with Veggies

Hello everyone,  

I hope everyone is doing well.  I would like to thank everyone for the lovely comments and emails I received for my last post. 🙂  I am so sorry I was not able to respond earlier but I was contacted to work on a small project this week and it was  so exciting.  I had such a great time working again, it was so good to be out there in the working world…being unemployed really takes a toll…believe me!  But I do have another 2 day small project set up again for next week which I am happy about 🙂  this one involves food. 🙂

So, I am back with this wonderful pasta dish full of vegetables and cheeses. 🙂 Who doesn’t love pasta, I think I can say that most of us do and this one is one of those dishes that is prepared rather quickly,  To make things even easier here is a  tip, I usually have all the veggies chopped or diced from the previous day and placed in plastic bags, so this way all I have to do is boil the pasta and make my sauce. 🙂

Simple enough 🙂

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
