Opa!

Greetings everyone ~

Today I decided to start a food blog. For the past 2 years I have been busy finishing a master's degree in Higher and Post Secondary Education and have been cooking to relieve stress and encourage creativity; while at the same time enjoying eating what I make! Tonight the family had a special meal that was shared with two young friends who had never eaten lamb. To their surprise the young ladies enjoyed their meal. Here is the recipe for the lamb which was served with a Greek Salad, then after a Orange Yogurt Tart for dessert.
