Do you like broccoli? I just love it, steamed with lemon, nice and crunchy. Hubby (along with Penelope) hates almost anything green. So how to I get him to eat broccoli (one of the more nutritious food ever in my opinion)? Add pasta, homemade beshamel and lot's of cheese and make it irresistible (or just covered up). So this is one of my classic recipes. So easy and delicious. The only...

And yes, we managed to make our own pinata!!! Up to now, it seemed like mission impossible to me. I haven't really tried it for my self, but I am always relactant to projects that have multiple steps and a lot of waiting. I wanted to make one of my own THfor our Halloween Party (check it out here). So I searched and searches and bumbed into this YouTube Video!  This tutorial was a...

Ok it's official : every time we plan an event either it is a party or just a small gathering it has to make the perfect storm. This time was no exception to our little rule. We had a small Halloween party for the young kids of our family last Saturday. In Athens the weather was just awful. Storm and thunders were about to ruin our plans ! The roads got flooded and I got to watch...

In Athens, the weather just got a little colder finding me still in a summermood. This year I just can't realize summertime is over. Every year in October I am already planning Christmas decorations and cooking. This year I decided to get along with the weather and get the most of each season (as soon as I realize I have to put away my swimming suit). Autumn is a really misunderstood...

This apple pie was a work in progress for a while now. It all started from a fb timeline video. It seemed so yummy and easy to make I just had to make it. The recipe described was an epic fail! I tried it twice and I ended up throwing away burned apples and me being mad and frustrated. I hate throwing away food even the burned one :) At this point I knew I just had to make it happen! And to...

Its my new obsession ok??  Fact: My blog turned two !!  Oh yes, my beloved blog turned two and I am just so happy !! I know this deserves a far more festive post. For the time being both the blog and myself will have to settle with the...

The rotten banana problem is well known here at my blog. If you have the time check out my banana tag (here) and you will find out that most of the recipes were made in order not to through away my over matured bananas. These days I am taking it to the extreme: my ultimate goal is not to through away any food (expired, rotten, over matured, etc.). The first thing I do is to make...

The dish above is a recipe created in front of the refrigerator of my local super market. That day was me and Yiannis wedding anniversary and I wanted to prepare a surpise dinner. Everything would be easier if I had just thought of it some days earlier. On the other hand, my last minute decision made it a real surprise. We were planning on going out for dinner but I made the switch and...

This is a post- chain reaction. Everything started from Marina of Little Box of Luv. Then more ‘confession post” started to get published all over the Greek blogger community. You may find all posts in Marina’ s fb group here and in Machi’s fb group here. I wrote mine in the spear of the moment some days ago. Then I started to have second thoughts thinking ok this is toooo personal. Then...
