Spinach Mushroom Vegetable Stew

Heyy there,

How is everyone?  Yesterday I worked for 14 hours and was to tired to finish decorating my tree.  I did work again today, but I found some time later this afternoon to finish my Christmas Tree.  After a long day of work I would  decorate the house little by little just to give it that lovely warm, cozy feeling. 🙂 

The color tones I chose to decorate my house with this year are Red, Gold and of course Warm White.  My tree this year  has been decorated with more lights than ornaments.  The reason is that last year Charlie would go to the tree and play with the Christmas balls.  hahahhaha and almost knocked over the tree.  So, this year I was careful…..no low hanging Christmas ornaments it was as simple as that.  Ohhh he did hang around while I was decorating the tree, watching every move I made and waited for me to step away for a few minutes…I kept an eye on him just in case he decide to go for the tree. 🙂

Speaking of simple, here is a very simple, quick Spinach and Mushroom Stew.  It’s a One Pot recipe,  through all the ingredients into the pot and let it cook for under 30 minutes.  Granted that this may not be a recipe that most would enjoy eating because of the Mushrooms, but just give a try.  I know many people who do not like to eat Mushrooms but I love them.  Roasted, Grilled, in soups, baked…fried!!  Just love them…so maybe trying out the recipe might just change your mind.

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
