Image
  Have you ever made a dish that stopped people in their tracks, with eyes wide in amazement? That is the reaction I always get when I make my Tzatziki sauce for people! The word Tzatziki derives from the Persian word "zhazh", which means  herb mixture, and it is the best herb mixture ever! So,  this last weekend when I gave out jars of my Tzatziki sauce as Christmas gifts and the rave reviews kept coming in, I knew I had to make the recipe available to everyone so you can all have a taste of Agrinio.  I just posted the recipe in my Etsy shop for you Give my recipe a try this Holiday season, as it is the perfect dish to take to gatherings.  🌟 καλά Χριστούγεννα! 🌟 (Merry Christmas from Agrinio, Greece)

Puzzles are a great way to feel connected to your art work; especially when it's your own photo!  That's why I turned two of my photos I took of wild olive trees on the beach here in Greece, into a puzzle so you can have a fun activity to do this winter season and then have lovely Greek art work to display and enjoy! Plus, these puzzles are also fun to have around during holiday gatherings or for gifting to your favorite puzzle enthusiast or Greece lover.  Here's my video of me putting our 252piece puzzle together with my family: 🧩🧩  Have fun!  🧩🧩

The Natural Beauty of Lake Amvrakia

Image
  Located just north of my hometown of Agrinio, is Lake Amvrakia. Her pristine waters and surrounding shores seem to resonate with all the graces that Greece has to offer. She never ceases to impress each and every visitor! It is in these moments while standing in these places in my country, that the pandemic and crises of world no longer seem to exist, and there is a serenity that the landscape washes over my heart and mind.  I wish these photos to have the same effect for you, no matter where you are in the world. That's the beauty of my country...that's Greece.
