Spicy Greek Red Peppers & Feta Cheese Spread

Hellooo,

How is everyone feeling today?  I am feeling much better 🙂  The weather is back to being a bit blahhh but we are heading towards the middle of March so we just need to be a bit patient for Spring to arrive.  Ok, so here is a topic, IG.  I bumped into a friend of mine who has been blogging for a couple of years.  She started off the conversation with “Why do people follow and then unfollow on IG”?  I looked at her and said “You are asking me”?  You have been at this way longer than I have!! so the only thing I could say to her was, that I was just as baffled about this last year as you are!! I told her that I gave up trying to figure out why they do this.  

I follow my blogger friends, and friends who are on IG, and things that interest me like Art, Food, Travel, Photography, Yoga, Animals, Clothes, Accessories, Designs, Gardening.  I also mentioned that it is so odd that they continue to do this because almost everyone I know has a unfollower app on their phone. 🙂 I told her not to pay to much attention to this anymore, and to continue doing the great work she is doing.

I post my photos of the food I make on IG, and enjoy seeing the people who appreciate the work that I, and everyone I follow puts into their photos. 🙂  She asked me what my next recipe post was going to be, and I told her that lately I am loving making spreads, dips.  Since the weather is awful, I made this spicy spread with some fresh bread and some delicious Tomato Soup . 🙂   So good!! 😉

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

    Looks so yummy Sophie! Yeah the IG follow-unfollow game is so annoying and kind of frustrating, I’ve had times I was thinking of giving up IG just because of that.😜

      Thank you Ursula. Pfff it’s ridiculous what is going on with IG..I thought about that myself closing down the account. I find that so rude, if you are not interested don’t follow. I follow only things that interest me, nothing more. You do such a great job!!! don’t bother who follows and then unfollows..:)

    As usual, you have taught me about something that I didn’t even know existed! How does an “unfollow” app work?? Never heard of it 😂
    Yummy looking dip too 😋😉
