Zucchini and Tomato Pizza

Hello!!

How is everyone?  Good Friday for most around the world.  I am sure that some of you are probably already traveling or are packing for a trip.  You might be visiting family, or friends in other parts of the country or the world.  To those of you who are travelling, have a great trip and be safe. 🙂

My mom arrived yesterday.  She will be spending Easter with us, our Easter is on April 28th. so I had to make something that was quick before I was off to the airport.   I picked up a few Zucchinis and Tomatoes to make this delicious pizza.  I had about just under an hour to put this together.  So, I quickly washed, sliced the Veggies and placed them into my baking pan.  I had already pre-heated the so called oven and popped it in the for 30 minutes.  Can you believe it, for the first time this gadget of an oven baked the pizza in UNDER 30 MINUTES!!!!  I still can’t believe it!! 🙂  Wooo hoooo

I ran to the car, threw in my bag and off I went to the airport.  The airport is about 45 minutes from my house, so the drive there was great, no traffic, music playing.  Mom arrived on time, she picked up her luggage, and all went well..until we hit the highway after exiting Schipol Airport!!  A 45 minute drive back home turned into a  2 1/2 hour drive!!!  I tried to find a gas station to stop,  to get out of the car and stretch our legs, but that was completely out of the question.  There are a lot of tourists visiting with mobile homes this time of year so it was looking for a needle in a haystack pffff. 🙁    So, we finally got home after this ridiculously long drive, walked into the house, dropped the luggage, made coffee and caught up on what’s going on back home.  🙂  Nice!!!

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
