The Green Dish

Every year right after Green Monday, we try to fast as a family! Theodora and Nicholas are excited about this process because they get to try new tastes and recipes!

I get to discuss with them about the cleansing effect that a balanced fasting can give! Kids usually eat eggs, dairy and fish throughout this process but not every day!

This year my parents, my sister in law- who follows a vegan diet anyway, my little niece and my brother will follow! It’s our bonding process!

Follow us for recipes!
