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,…
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…

Sun-Dried Tomato Bread
Christ is risen! Summer is here, which means tomatoes are making an appearance and beginning to be in abundance. I am not a raw tomato person per se, except I don’t mind the occasional pasta all pomodoro, salsa, and ketchup. It’s odd that I am okay with cooked tomatoes but raw gives me nausea by…
