Roasted Baby Potatoes and Olives

Written by Published on Updated on June 5, 2019 in Mediterranean cuisine, Side Dish

Hello,

I can’t remember the last time I was so busy that I forgot to eat.  Yesterday, was a very long day, back to back lessons and then Food Photography and Food Styling courses.  In between lessons  I had to take Charlie out for his walk.  I was really looking forward to walking with him because I really needed a change of scenery and the  fresh air. 🙂    At some point I realised that I had forgotten to eat!! Yep, I did!!!.  It is great to be working again, but I forget that I need to take more breaks. 

I went to the kitchen to make lunch, it was already 2:00 pm.  I needed to make something very simple and tasty. Me and tasty go together 🙂  I was done for the day but I had some Photography styling courses that I needed to catch up with.   This is a simple recipe, love that it is a great Vegetarian dish with great ingredients. (If you like Garlic you can add it to this recipe) very few but believe me, it tastes fantastic!  When it was done, I sat in front of the TV to watch Will and Grace.  I have missed a few of the latest episodes. 🙂

Let me know if you try out this recipe!!  Would love to hear some feedback!  🙂 

Have a great day 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

      With all the climbing you do, you have to remember to eat Dee. I’m at home at I forget but you should try to eat when ever you get a chance. Fruits, etc.
