Pasta with Shrimps
Today I am at home. We have a big strike because of the measures that government has taken, so as to recover from the economic crisis we are facing. So, there are no buses, trains, no public sector, etc. Also the lady who is watching my child every day cannot come here. My mother, who...
Easy Peasy Lasagna
I wasn’t supposed to post about this recipe. That is the reason why I do not have pictures of all the stages through the end outcome. To be honest with you, I thought that it wouldn’t be something worth mentioning about. But the final result came out so good; I had to post about it....
Jumbo Shells with Spinach Filling
Summer has arrived in Greece and has settled for good. The temperature yesterday rose to 30° C. I wish I could be in beach swimming and sun-bathing. Instead, I continue my everyday routine.

Spaghetti Bolognese

Rigatoni Primavera
This weekend I made two dishes, a sweet and sour pork and this pasta. I am not going to post the pork recipe, since I did not like it. As I told you I am only posting recipes worth the trouble and effort. This one is great. Although it is a souffle, it is fairly...
Risotto with Porcini Mushrooms and Raisins
We ate so much meat these past few days, that yesterday I said to my husband, that I would make something completely meatless. He totally agreed because he was sick of meat too. So, I decided to make risotto which is something my child eats too. I had in my fridge dried porcini. Actually, I...
Mushroom Pasta
I know it’s been quite few days, but I have good excuse. I was having a friend of mine from the States staying with us and I had to show her around. Fatimah is a friend of mine from the days back when I was in the States pursuing my Master’s degree. We lost...
