Helloooo everyone, How was everyones week?  Mine was filled with so many things,  I was not able to post this Sweet Potato Soup recipe on Friday. 🙂  I guess you already know that I will mention the weather again, 🙂 Fall has finally arrived along with the chilly days and nights. 🙂 

I made Sweet Potato Soup with some fresh Veggies, and since I was going over to my friend’s house to help out with something and I was absolutely going to bring her a bowl of soup for her to try.  She does work in the mornings so it was so nice to hear her say that she was HUNGRY…:)  Sandra was actually the first one to try my soup, and she loved it!!!  I do love it when I make people happy when they enjoy eating what I have cooked, it gives me such a sense of happiness.  🙂   I love soups, every time I slurp 🙂 (don’t actually slurp just making a joke)  I get this warm feeling, and that’s why they call it Comfort Food. 🙂 

Sandra and I are working on a new project, and we are both very passionate about this, Sandra is a Pastry Chef and well me you know what I am. 🙂 The project we are working on is actually, well we started a page on Facebook where customers can purchase our cakes, cupcakes and much more. 🙂  We are both very excited, it has been about a week now, since the page has been up and we are both hoping for the best.  🙂  So, now you know and I leave you with news for now. 

Have a great weekend everyone!!

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
