Fasting With Grace: Dormition Recipe eBook, Second Edition Guide

The Dormition Fast is a beautiful season of prayer, simplicity, and preparation — but for many women, fasting can also bring fatigue, cravings, blood sugar crashes, mood swings, or that familiar feeling of living on bread, noodles, PB&J, french fries, and coffee.

Fasting With Grace: Second Edition was created to help Orthodox women approach the fast with more nourishment, wisdom, and peace.

This is not only a recipe ebook, it is a hormone-supportive fasting guide designed around the four phases of the menstrual cycle, helping you choose meals that support your body while still honoring the fasting season.

Inside, you’ll find dairy-free, meat-free, whole-food-based recipes organized by:

Menstrual Phase — grounding, mineral-rich comfort foods

Follicular Phase — light, fresh meals for energy and clarity

Ovulatory Phase — vibrant, antioxidant-rich recipes

Luteal Phase — warm, stabilizing foods to support calm and fullness

You’ll also receive practical guidance on blood sugar balance, hormone-supportive fasting, and simple lifestyle rhythms to help you fast with more intention and less overwhelm.

This guide is for the Orthodox woman who wants to honor the fast without ignoring the body God gave her.
