Good Month/ Kalo Mina

Written by Published on Updated on September 1, 2020 in Monthly Notes

Hey, there foodie friends

2020 has definitely been a strange year so far for all of us.  So, I am hoping that the month of September will be the beginning of better months to come.  Keeping fingers crossed with this one!!

Since last August I have had a lot on my plate, dealing with hubbies HA,  working 14, and sometimes 15 hours per day.  So, with this said I need to stop and rest. I won’t be posting as often but I will definitely post original Greek Food from Greece that others have prepared. I am heading back to Greece to see my mom, friends, cousin and everyone that I haven’t seen in a while. 

 

Wishing everyone a wonderful safe Kalo Mina.

Sophie 🙂

 

 

 

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

    Where the heck is the time going? Yikes!

    And my goodness you have been super busy. A break definitely sounds like a good idea. I’m not sure what travel is like at the moment with the pandemic but I hope you get back to Greece smoothly – enjoy the time with your family, step away from all things work for a while, rest, recuperate, have some fun, and stay safe  ♥🤗
