𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 This year, I felt way too tired, worn out, and somewhat uninterested to decorate for autumn. Instead of hauling out pumpkins and rearranging most of the house, I went with a different strategy: focus on warmer lights, fall-inspired textures, natural accents, comfy nooks, and minor adjustments that change a room’s vibe without loudly announcing FALL HAS ARRIVED. 😏 You know, seasonal decorations aren’t always necessary. All you need is for your home to feel cozier, gentler, and more welcoming as the evenings grow darker. ➡️ Link in bio ➡️ landing page ➡️ (scroll down to) latest on the blog #FallHome #FallDecor #CozyHome #HomeDecorIdeas #AutumnHome

These are those cookies. Brutti ma buoni — literally “ugly but good” — are wonderfully irregular Italian cookies with a crisp, nutty bite and absolutely no interest in looking polished. And honestly? That’s part of their charm. They’re the kind of homemade treat that proves you don’t need perfect edges, identical shapes, or a pastry-school diploma to make something seriously delicious. A little rustic, a little unruly, and very, very good. The ugly ducklings of the cookie tin have officially arrived. 🤎 ➡️ Link in bio ➡️ landing page ➡️ latest recipes 🇬🇷 GR: Μην τα κρίνετε από την εμφάνισή τους! Αυτά τα χειροποίητα μπισκοτάκια θα σας ενθουσιάσουν με τη λεπτή τους γεύση. Φτιάχνονται από μαρέγκα ανακατεμένη με καβουρδισμένα φουντούκια ή αμύγδαλα και στην Ιταλία τα λένε Brutti ma buoni (κυριολεκτικά «άσχημα αλλά νόστιμα») λόγω του ακανόνιστου σχήματός τους. ➡️ Link in bio ➡️ landing page ➡️ latest recipes #BruttiMaBuoni #ItalianCookies #ItalianDessert #CookieRecipe #HomemadeCookies
🇬🇧 EN: From the blog archives — and still one of m 🇬🇧 EN: From the blog archives — and still one of my breakfast favorites. ✨ There are breakfasts that require planning, and then there’s homemade granola. Oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, dried fruit, maple syrup and a little cinnamon come together in one gloriously crunchy jar of good intentions. It’s simple, wholesome, endlessly useful and, naturally, best enjoyed with yogurt, fruit, milk… or straight from the jar when nobody is looking! This is my Homemade Maple Granola—an easy recipe to keep on hand for breakfast, snacking, or those moments when you need something crunchy and sweet but don’t particularly feel like baking. ➡️ Link in bio ➡️ landing page ➡️ latest recipes 🇬🇷 GR: Η granola και το muesli έχουν περάσει στην ελληνική ως… γκρανόλα και μούσλι. 😅 Είναι και τα δύο μείγματα δημητριακών (συνήθως νιφάδων βρώμης, αλλά στο μούσλι μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί και η κινόα), ξηρών καρπών και αποξηραμένων φρούτων. Η διαφορά είναι ότι το μούσλι δεν ψήνεται, δεν περιέχει λιπαρό στοιχείο (ενώ η γκρανόλα έχει λάδι) και συνήθως δεν έχει άλλο γλυκαντικό πέραν της φυσικής ζάχαρης από τα αποξηραμένα φρούτα. Και τα δύο προϊόντα θα τα βρείτε στα ράφια του σούπερ μάρκετ και στα καταστήματα υγιεινής διατροφής, αλλά είναι πανεύκολο −και καλύτερο− να τα φτιάξετε μόνοι σας. Η γκρανόλα της παρακάτω συνταγής είναι πεντανόστιμη και τραγανιστή, ενώ μαζί με φρέσκα φρούτα της αρεσκείας σας συνοδεύει τέλεια το γάλα, το γιαούρτι αλλά και το ξινόγαλο ή το κεφίρ. ✨ Είναι ο καλύτερος τρόπος για να κάνετε τα πιτσιρίκια σας να φάνε βρώμη! ➡️ Link in bio ➡️ landing page ➡️ latest recipes #HomemadeGranola #MapleGranola #GranolaRecipe #BreakfastIdeas #HomemadeRecipes
𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿... I emptied 51 year 𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿... I emptied 51 years of family life out of 160 square meters in 4 weeks. There was grief, there was chaos, one very full dump truck, and a rather somber trip down memory lane. The entire process was gut-wrenching, exhausting, expensive; occasionally absurd. Not every item was salvageable. Not everything was worth keeping. But some things deserved a second life—and, quite unexpectedly, many of them found one. The house is all empty now, and fifty-one years of family life have been reduced to a handful of boxes, photographs, recipes, and museum exhibits(!). But, as it turns out, these glimpses of history were never meant to be kept in a single homestead forever. Perhaps sometimes— I thought I'll let you know what it all boils down to in my next Substack. 🧡 Stay tuned! #FamilyHistory #FamilyHeirlooms #FamilyStories #MemoryKeeping #SubstackWriter

🇬🇧 EN: Now on the blog — refreshed and creamier th 🇬🇧 EN: Now on the blog — refreshed and creamier than ever. 🤍🥄 Think you know Greek rice pudding (rizogalo)? This version may surprise you. Made with rich buffalo milk, fresh lime zest, and sprinkled with cinnamon, it takes a beloved Greek classic and gives it an extra layer of velvety richness without losing the simple comfort that makes rizogalo so timeless. The result? Creamier. Silkier. Just a little more indulgent... and absolutely worth trying if you ever get your hands on buffalo milk! ➡️ Link in bio ➡️ landing page ➡️ latest recipes 🇬🇷 GR: Tο καλοκαίρι θες το γλυκάκι σου ελαφρύτερο και δροσερό. Πείραξα λίγο τη συνταγή της μαμάς μου αντικαθιστώντας το φρέσκο αγελαδινό γάλα με ένα άλλο, κάπως ιδιαίτερο, εμπνευσμένη από το παγωτό καϊμάκι! Το αποτέλεσμα είναι ένα απολαυστικό, βελούδινο ρυζόγαλο με μια εξωτική πινελιά λάιμ και διακριτικό άρωμα κανέλας. Το πλούσιο βουβαλίσιο γάλα του χαρίζει μοναδική κρεμώδη υφή και γεύση που θυμίζει παραδοσιακό γλυκό, με διαφορετική όμως φινέτσα. ✨ Αν βρείτε βουβαλίσιο γάλα, αυτή τη συνταγή αξίζει να την φτιάξετε. ➡️ Link in bio ➡️ landing page ➡️ latest recipes #GreekDesserts #RicePudding #Rizogalo #BuffaloMilk #HomemadeDessert
