Artichoke Dip adapted Robin Robertson
Christ is in our midst! We are on the way to St Nektarios Monastery listening to Keith Green. “My Eyes are Dry” is currently playing. Before bed, my eyes were not dry. Crying over my sins this week and being able to receive holy Communion yesterday and not to be burned by coal physically but…

Carrot Top Pesto
Christ is in our midst! The other day, I just wanted to buy parsley. However, I had no cash on hand so I had to buy more produce to use my card to meet the minimum $10. So, as I was looking at the produce, I thought what do I need? Not that I needed…

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. I have a strong distaste for tomatoes, pickles, fish, and some fermented things. Tomatoes, however, I don’t mind having as ketchup or…

I don’t like to throw food to waste if I know I can turn them into something tasty and healthy. There’s a guilt voice in my head that says, ” we can turn that into something”, which applies to…

Pistou sauce with grilled vegetables
Christ is risen! Grilling season is amongst us and that calls for fresh summer produce springing up and marinades. One of the things that excites me for the summer season is fresh herbs, especially basil and rosemary. I don’t usually travel during the summer so these herbs transport me to Italy by taste. This recipe…

Arugula-Walnut Pesto
Arugula is one of those greens that pairs well with dried fruit and legumes. I like to have a play of flavors bouncing off of each other as I am chewing it. Cranberries, chickpeas and arugula. Roasted butternut squash, roasted beets with cranberries and arugula. These are just two examples of how I enjoy arugula.…
