I heard it’s Pancake Saturday? 🥞 And I’m running straight to for a stack!😋

📍In the middle of the Park of Peace and Friendship in Chania, you’ll find a cute coffee and brunch (ok, and drink) shop called The Jar. A place I’ve visited so many times and that I want to tell you about today…

✨Compared to many coffee/brunch places in Chania, this is one with good, worthy prices for the delicious food you get, and I love that you are surrounded by nature (while still being in the city?) and there’s even a pond filled with turtles right next to the cafe!!🥺🐢 It’s one of those places I always return back to because I know it will be good, either for brunch with friends or for working on remote.

🍽 What to choose? Their omelettes are incredible and probably some of the best. When not knowing what to pick, I always go for the omelette with smoked salmon and I never get disappointed. But if wanting something else or more “extra” there are lots of delicious options to choose from and yes, their pancake stack is just yeeees.🤤

☕️ No matter if you come for coffee in the morning, weekend brunch, work or a drink in the evening, The Jar is cozy, has a nice vibe and is always welcoming. It’s also ok to bring your dog friend, and I love that!! If you haven’t been here before. I recommend it!

The best Chocolate Truffles ever - without added sugar, vegan, gluten free and yet, they are totally melting in your mouth.🤩🤤

Ingredients:
❃ 150 ml plant based whip cream
❃ 150 g optional brown chocolate
❃ a small pinch of salt

Boil up the cream in a small sauce pan. As soon as it starts boiling remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate to the cream.
Stir it around with a spoon until the chocolate has melted thoroughly and no lumps are left. Add the small amount of salt and mix. Place in the fridge until the chocolate mixture is set, for approx 1 hour. Scoop out balls of the mixture. Roll them in for instance cacao, lingonberry powder, gingerbread or nuts if you'd like and then place them on a baking sheet. Store them in fridge until set and serve!

GREEK STEREOTYPES; TRUE OR FALSE?

🔹People are outgoing and have huge hospitality mindset
… If they invite you over to their home they will take care of you to the fullest. Food is love language/ a way for a Greek to show that they appreciate you, so they will try to feed you if you get invited over.

🔹Greeks are the best at creative parking
…they are! You can find them parking in a roundabout too if they don’t find anywhere else to park (yes, I have seen that lol).

🔹All Greeks are named Konstantinos/ Kostas
… and ironically, my boyfriend does too. Konstantinos (Kostas is the nickname) is a very common guy name in Greece but other common names are Giannis, Giorgos, Nikolaos and Christos.

🔹Greeks have a frappe and cigarette for breakfast
…not completely wrong but not everyone does this. Greeks rarely drink frappe though. They prefer Freddo Espresso, Freddo Cappuccino or “Greek coffee” which is a hot coffee cooked in a small pot called “briki”. And yes, the cigarette.

🔹Greeks live at home until married
…This has some truth to it. However, in the 21st century many Greek children now move out before they marry to have their independence and privacy. Greeks have become less strict on this traditional rule. Since many people have very low salaries in Greece and economical issues though, sometimes they choose to live at home with their parents because it’s simply more economical.

🔹People are lazy / hate to work / people retire in their 40s
…This rumour started spreading in the economical crisis but which isn’t true. Of course there are people that are lazy, hate to work and possibly retire early as they exist in all countries. In general, the “common people” are extremely hard working, often work overtime, sometimes have two jobs to make a living and work for 3-4 euros/ hour though. Greeks love to enjoy their life with food, drinks etc, but that does NOT mean they are lazy and aren’t hard working. Greece is actually in the top 20 countries globally with the most working hours per month! The younger generation have to work hard for the mistakes the older generations and politicians have made. So no, this is the most wrong prejudice I hear about Greeks.

‼️Things you didn’t know about FETA CHEESE 😳‼️

Better late than never, but in honor of the “International Feta Cheese Day” that was two days ago, let’s check into the FETA MAGIC….

🔹 Feta accounts for 70% of cheese consumption in Greece. No wonder why Greece is known for its feta! Greece averages in eating more than 10 kilograms a year, and feta is recognized as the ‘National Cheese of Greece.’

🔹 Feta cheese is made with goat’s milk or sheep’s milk, or a mixture of both. Cow milk is not included in feta cheese.

🔹Believe it or not, feta is one of the worlds oldest cheeses! It's reported to have first been discovered in the 11th century. Homer even writes about it in his epic, the Odyssey.

🔹You can freeze feta cheese. So yes, if having leftover feta cheese and don’t know what to make with it - freeze it!

🔹 Feta cheese is recognised as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product of Greece but there was a legal battle between Greece and Denmark some years ago. Denmark was using cow’s milk to make feta cheese and was labelling it as feta cheese.😳 Denmark lost the “feta war” against the EU, and could not name their cheese feta anymore. Now they call it “feta style” or “white cheese” instead.

~ Some feta cheese recipes that we love:😍 ~

▫️Greek Spinach and Feta Cheese Phyllo Pies / ”Spanakotiropitakia”

I can’t stress this enough. GET OUT OF YOUR HOMETOWN. Even if it’s not forever. Move. Travel. See the world. Meet new people that are different from you. Exchange ideas, thoughts and memories. Get a new perspective on life.

There’s more to life than the same 10 people and the same 2 bars.

🌼Happy August🌼

Just wanted to check in and wish you all a happy new month. Whoever has taken some time off from school, work, gym and routines, remember that it’s only temporary and it’s not only ok to rest and relax, but also a necessity for your body and soul.

Don’t put pressure on yourself. Step by step you’ll return to your routines and health habits at your own pace. Make August a month where you are happy inside out.❤️

LET’S ENJOY SUMMER TO THE FULLEST…

…wearing bikini, swimwear, shorts, tight dresses and anything else we want really, because we are proud over our bodies and we don’t care if society don’t think we fit into the fake perception of having a “perfect body” is.

A few years ago I never wore tight dresses. It was my biggest fear, not because there ever was anything wrong with my body, but because society had made me think it was. Today I put on slay mood and dress mood, and enjoyed my day out in the sun to the fullest!😍😎

…AND I HOPE YOU DO TOO!😍😍😍

Things to let go of for a better self:

❃ Unrealistic expectations
❃ Comparing yourself to others
❃ Fear of failure
❃ Unsupportive people
❃ The need to be in control of everything
❃ Unexpressed feelings

Allow yourself to let go of people, thoughts and feelings that are poison for your well-being.
Take care of yourself. You don’t have to put other people first all the time.❤️

Happy Friday and weekend everyone!✨
