Hey there everyone 🙂

Going to the supermarket is not as exciting as it used to be at least for me.  I used to pop in and out of the Supermarket whenever I wanted.  I took my time and I am mean seriously took my time shopping for ingredients.  Now, I feel like I am some sort of crazy person.  I now go to the supermarket once a week and I run in to do my shopping.  And very quickly if I may add.  hahahhahahaha  I try to avoid any humans that might be in my way by doing those certain Yoga moves.  You know what I mean the kind of stretching from left to right and up against the shelves hahahhahahahaha.  I’m sorry guys but this is too funny.  

I would see my friends and we would always hug and kiss and now it’s like “get away from me”  “Don’t touch me” Don’t breathe on me!!  During my walk with Charlie, I met up with a friend that was walking her dog.  When things were normal we would walk our dogs together.  Now, we stand 2 meters away from each other and have a conversation.  Not really a conversation it’s more of “did you just hear what I said”  “what?” heheheheheh   We kept laughing because it was so funny.  

Ok, so last Friday was my birthday and Charlie’s.  Yep, this puppy was born on April 3rd 🙂  I wanted to make something different this year. I did a bit of searching in my Pantry, and I found some Chocolate.   Ohh!  I thought to myself why not make Profiteroles.  My husband loved it!!  and so did I not because there was Chocolate involved but because there was Custard Cream Puffsss……You can find empty  Puffs in the supermarket and you can fill them with any filling you like.  I sometimes fill them with Chocolate instead of Custard. 

This is definitely a delicious after-dinner dessert.  

Stay Safe!!!  Stay Positive!!

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

    Can I use regular self rising flour? It's all that I have. Happy Birthday!!!! My birthday is coming up :) I really feel that if you loved me you would make these for me. Hahaha. I know what you mean about rushing in and out of the store. I use to love browsing. You always find something that you are running low on, or something that you might have been searching for and they never had it before. OR Sophie posts a recipe and you need corn flour hahaha Hopefully things go back to normal sooner rather than later. Thanks again for another wonderful recipe :) I hope all your birthday wishes come true :)
