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. I have a strong distaste for tomatoes, pickles, fish, and some fermented things. Tomatoes, however, I don’t mind having as ketchup or…
Creamy Carbonara with Smoked Carrot ‘Bacon’ by Catherine Atkinson
Christ is risen! Who doesn’t love a good pasta dish? One so good you are transported to Italia! I love a good pasta; it is rare to find me eating a tomato based sauce. If you do, its because the marinara sauce is divine. Choosing the wrong tomatoes can mess up a sauce that is…

St. Anastasia Pharmakolytria Saint’s Day + Gaz Oakley’s Wellington – Ultimate Christmas Roast
Today is the first time that I am celebrating my saints day as a newly baptized Orthodox Christian!! From what I have been told, it is more important than celebrating one’s birthday.

Cauliflower curry
It was a cold night in NYC- it was one of those days you want to snuggle a bowl of hot soup or tea in your hands and read a good book or watch a feel good movie. This recipe is simple and quick to make. Cucumber adds a nice refreshing and cooling / cleansing…
