Taking A Vote..
Happy Tuesday evening to you all. I must apologize to everyone as I have been very very busy, and I haven’t had the time to post anything on Kouzounas Kitchen. I miss posting, and most importantly I miss sharing recipes.
In The News:
Kouzounas Kitchen has been slammed with croissant orders, and we are making a few new flavors. I need your honest opinion on a flavor. How about a sweet & spicy jalapeno filled croissant?? The combination of the sweet and spicy would be a great kick with a crispy, flaky croissant. What do you think? Please feel free to comment below.
