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…

Veganized Gluten Free Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies by King Arthur Brand
Christ is in our midst! I grew up making cookies from those packaged kind that were pre-made. I think it was Pillsbury cookie dough, and all you had to do was slice the cookies. I used to like to experiment, making really big cookies or making large, heart-shaped cookies and getting the bake right. I…
Creamy Mushroom Pasta
Christ is in our midst! Today is the second day of Great Lent. I thought this dish would be too tempting for Clean Monday. This is not the recipe I had intended to share during Great Lent because it is quite indulgent and mouth watering but I have many people in mind who came to…
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.

Furthermore, I’ve been eyeing her books “Superfood Juices” and “Superfood Smoothies” for quite some time and I…
Eggplant & Feta Parcels
Christ is Risen! Not much of this world brings me such great joy except when I find a new recipe and can share with my loved ones, and we commune in joy. Much love can be felt when sharing a meal with those around you; it is a good feeling knowing that you prepared a…
C’est La Vie! Recipes: How to Use Over Ripe Pears 3 Different Ways
C’est la vie! When I waited too long to use pears, all I can say, c’est la vie it is! What to do when they are too ripe to eat? What to do, what to do, what to DO!? Cobbler came to mind, but I was thinking something more… adventurous. Then I remembered that there…
Loukumi-Inspired Victoria Sponge Cake
