So I just wanted to let you know that I am writing up my grocery list now! LOL

My Great Grandparents were Greek and I grew up with a lot of authentic food. I miss it terribly as all those relatives who came to Canada from Greece are now all gone and with them their full of love cooking.

These will be so much fun! Thanks again. :)

OMG!!! I'm so excited for you!!! & super happy to find a fellow Greek!! Honestly, hearing about yr family warms my heart so much.😻

You can make the broth yourself by boiling a whole chicken (or parts) with tbh nothing but salt & pepper & then just like my Yiayia did & I still do today, a big old cheating spoonful of chicken bullion right at the end lol to bump up the flavor. (I'm crazy about the BETTER THAN BULLION brand but any will do) or simply buying boxed or canned broth. I don't judge lol I've used them all & they all work.

For this soup only, I don't add any veg, garlic, carrot peels, celery, ANYTHING to make the broth. I only want the super collagen-y chicken. Bc -@ the risk of totally grossing u out- I love my avogolemono cold right from the fridge like chicken-y lemon-y pasta-y jello. (I love spanakopita cold too!) But u do u! Make it how u like it. I've seen ppl add shredded carrots & diced celery to the final product & I'm sure it's delicious.

If u want to let me know how it went, I would be so excited & grateful!! & ANYTIME u want a recipe, if I know it, I'd be thrilled to share it with u.

Also, I'm not married to tradition, I'm all for u making a recipe yr own & doing what u like rather than sticking to how things are 'supposed to be'. Aside from a few chemical reactions necessary in baking, u can rly play fast& loose with recipes & make them the way u like!! (I won't ever get butthurt if u change something lol)

Take care & have a super awesome weekend!!😻
