Who Is Anastasia?

When I was 55, I decided to embrace the things I love and hold precious and dear, regardless of anyone else's thoughts and opinion. I am a visual folk artist who loves flowers - my own flowers, grown and/or painted by me. I love good, hearty, exotic foods, and I love to prepare them myself. I love the secret garden situated in my backyard, regardless of how overgrown and wild it gets. No longer able to afford a vacation, this will have to be it for the time being. In the winter months, I still enjoy it. Anyway, here I am sharing my art, favorite recipes, cocktails, gardening tips, and just my usual vents and bantering. After all, I'm old enough to say whatever the heck I want to now ...

Delicious Meatless Lasagna to Cry For

So often I am asked by readers for not just meatless recipes, but those suitable for vegetarians and/or vegans. It's not every day that I do come across one that particularly strikes my fancy, but this recipe (found on PtitChef) is delicious. Some of the ingredients may be new to you, but I assure you, it will be worth the extra effort to secure them in order to make this wonderful "Lasagna to Cry For" recipe.
Please share your thoughts with me and the other readers.

The Backyard --Today's Vacation Spot

The Backyard --Today's Vacation Spot
A simple garden meal in the shade. No, it's not my backyard, but it looks identical to the one I grew up with at our home in Queens. Looking for an original pic of it to post soon!
