Penne Pasta with Shrimps and Peppers in Tomato Sauce

Written by Published on Updated on May 8, 2020 in Uncategorized

Hii!!

How is everyone today/afternoon/evening….In my previous post, I mentioned that I did a lot of cooking and that is true.  So, this time I am back with another delicious and pretty simple Shrimp, Peppers, and Tomato Sauce recipe.  I used Red Bell Peppers this time because I used the leftover Paprika Peppers to make a 3 Cheese Paprika Pepper Quiche. hahhaha   WIll be posting that one next week. 🙂  

Well, it seems that things are changing, or shall I call this the “New Norm”  but we are slowly going back to our lives.  It seems that hair salons, nail salons, and all other department stores and smaller stores are opening up again as of next week.  Personally, I do need a hair cut but I decided to wait it out,  I waited 3 months a few more weeks is not going to bother me.  I can still manage my hair….hehehe

I think everyone is happy about this and so am I to be honest.  But self-distancing will continue to be a part of our lives for the next few months.  And we might also have to accept the fact that we might not be able to go on vacation this year…hubby due to his HA was not able to go back last year so we were hoping that this year we would be able too. But we will see how things will evolve in the next few months.     

I hope you enjoy it!!   Stay Safe guys!!

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

    Mmmmmmmmm mmmmmmm do I see peas in there too? We didn’t get a vacation last year either because of our house being torn apart, then this mess happens blah. Soon it will all be right as rain, back to the hustle and bustle and we will wish we were all back to the quiet days of quarantine 🙂 🙂 Thanks for the recipe Sophie 🙂 They are a blessing indeed 🙂
