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.

Fasting Time: Detoxing spiritually and physically + Spring Juice
Hello dear ones!!! Thank you for being patient with me. This is one of the reasons I do not promise to post recipes on a certain date because life happens and I want to share with you things from the soul, that otherwise would be looked over if one were to type in a rush…
What I Eat On A Fasting Day
Kalispera, my dear ones! Kalispera! Lately, I have been in a “Greek” mood. My husband is Greek, my nouna is Greek, and my spiritual father is Greek! Many dear Greek friends around me! My husband and I often dream and talk about having a cafe on one of the islands in Greece. I am someone…
