Vegan Rhubarb, Ginger, and Raisin Muffins
Christ is in our midst! Every spring, rhubarb would be mentioned in different cooking blogs and magazines. It was not until my real estate agent gifted me his own home grown rhubarb did I decide to make these muffins. This recipe was in the “back burner” of many recipes I had wanted to make but…

Pistachio Milk Chia Pudding

Using various fruits, nuts, coconut shreds, and kinds of milks, there are endless delicious possibilities. Yesterday, I shelled the pistachios I had. I learned a new trick to shelling them easily. You use a shell from…

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…
