Christ is in our midst! Springtime, alongside summer, is when I really enjoy having artichokes. Spring to me is defined by different things. One, helios me thondia, which translates to sun with teeth. It is bright and sunny but when you. Step out, there’s a “bite” in the air. Secondly, tender and delicate qualities of…

Kale & Seed Crisps by Julie Morris
Christ is in our midst! I think my stomach has been serenading Bee Gees songs to me lately. My stomach has been so happy since I have been listening to the prescription of eating more greens and drinking more water. I am glad that I have finally listened because I have so much energy and…
Hot Chocolate / from Lakanto
Christ is in our midst! Fasting from foods is what majority of people think of when fasting during Great Lent. Speaking humbly, as someone who lives a plant based lifestyle, it is much easier to fast from food than from our passions. We each have our own demons to battle with, be it despair, envy,…
A Very Green Breakfast: Kale Pesto Toast with Steamed Brussels sprouts
Christ is Risen! Instead of “Anastasia’s Peaceful Kitchen”, I sometimes wonder if I should rename the blog “The Picky Eater”. I have been a very picky eater since I was a young girl. I have a strong distaste for tomatoes, pickles, fish, and some fermented things. Tomatoes, however, I don’t mind having as ketchup or…
Chia Seed Pudding
Christ is risen! I have come to accept, I am not a morning person. I have tried for decades to be one and there is only one or two exceptions that makes me a morning person. One is going to church. I still have a hard time waking up but I am driven to go…

Carrot and Spinach Breakfast Muffins
Christ is Risen! Glory be to God! Another recipe to share from Phaidon’s “The Greek Cookbook”. So far, nothing has been a disappointment from this cookbook. The recipes are easy to make vegan for someone who has an intolerance to dairy. The flavor combination of dill and cumin and the Greek yogurt is a mixture…
Raspberry Lemon Yerba Mate
Christ is Risen! I have recently decided to give coffee a break, yet again. It tastes so good and nice to have as part of my morning routine but I have noticed my anxiety levels going up more than usual so coffee has got to go! Yerba mate, along with matcha, is an alternative caffeine…
Raw Cranberry & Pistachio Cheesecake
Hello my dear ones! Merry Christmas to you all! Christ is born! Let us glorify Him! I was looking for a unique recipe to celebrate this wonderful and special celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. When we think of the holiday season, we usually think of red, white, and green so I thought, what…
Banana Bread + Waste-Free Peeling Compote
Christ is Born! Glorify Him! Hello everyone! Today I am sharing two recipes with you: banana bread and a waste-free peeling compote recipe. Since I discovered this recipe, I would make banana bread for church and for gatherings or for coffee time when it was safe to gather for coffee. I would also make this…
