Hummus with Tahini

Christ is risen! I’ve been making this recipe for about 6 years or so now and its been my go to recipe ever since I found it. Joseph Shuldiner uses baking soda in his recipe when soaking the chickpeas overnight; I use apple cider vinegar. When taking classes at the Natural Gourmet Institute, I learned…

Spring Ingredients

Christ is risen! I fasted not only from certain foods and passions, I fasted from music. Music is a major soul uplifter for me, but during Great Lent I practiced going to and relying on God as the source to uplift my soul. I made little progress, if any, but its probably better something and…

Easter Recipes I will be using time and time again

Christ is Risen! Hello my dear ones! The photo above sums up pretty much the last few months what I have been striving for: trying to be deep in prayer. I have not written for many months, please forgive me. I tend to get muscle spasms, sciatica, and back pain; I was in no mood…

Carrot and Spinach Breakfast Muffins

Christ is Risen! Glory be to God! Another recipe to share from Phaidon’s “The Greek Cookbook”. So far, nothing has been a disappointment from this cookbook.

Mushroom Latte

Eggplant & Feta Parcels

Christ is Risen! Not much of this world brings me such great joy except when I find a new recipe and can share with my loved ones, and we commune in joy. Much love can be felt when sharing a meal with those around you; it is a good feeling knowing that you prepared a…

Cheesy Carrot Keftedes

Christ is Risen! Lately I have been eating many Greek inspired dishes and going to our local Greek restaurant, Elea. From observation, a lot of the Greek foods are wholesome foods and many are plant based, or can be easily made plant based. In Greek culture, majority of the population is Orthodox Christian. Part of…

Roasted Carrots and Shallots with Chermoula

Christ is Risen! This recipe has been a recent favorite of mine. Typically, I like to make easy and healthy recipes with minimal steps so that I can split my time reading and making art but also easy on my body since I am prone to body pain when standing for too long. I like…

Springtime Minestrone

Christ is Risen! This has become a recent favorite soup go-to of mine! Summer time is not usually a time one thinks of having a bowl of hot soup but this is simply delicious and not something to miss! It is very easy to make and the ingredients are in season that after making a…
