Kalo Mina – Good Month

Written by Published on Updated on December 12, 2025 in Monthly Notes

Hey there foodie friends,

Kalo Mina! November is hereeee!!!  This is the month when the air turns crisp, and the scarves officially make their entrance. Speaking of scarves, I may have gone a little overboard at the mall today… I treated myself to two new scarves for this winter: one soft pink (because I wanted pink) and one beautifully multicolored one.  I think that we need to spoil ourselves once in a while, don’t you think so?

This is the month we talk about the upcoming holidays.  Plan our menus for the holidays, starting with Thanksgiving, mini vacations to the mountains, and our Christmas shopping.

Wishing everyone a wonderful, good month ahead, full of cozy mornings, laughter, and that magical mix of sunshine and chill in the air.

KALO MINA – GOOD MONTH

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
