A Dr. Martin Luther King Favorite!

Published on | in Uncategorized By

So, who knew Dr. Kings favorite dessert was Pecan Pie.  First off, I have heard of Pecan Pie, but, I have never had it or attempted to make it. When I saw some of the recipes, I just wanted to find a way to not use corn syrup.  So I played around with Agave, but it wasn’t strong enough so I went to Maple Syrup.  Not maple flavored… but seriously, organic natural maple syrup. When I tell you.. it worked!!!  It tastes amazing.

Just check out the recipe here.

P.S. When you make it.. just remember to snap a pic and tag me in it! #CookingwithQue 🙂

Love you to Life!

 

 

 

The Story behind the Vegan Mac and Cheese

Published on | in Uncategorized By

Sooo I know that the holidays are approaching and everyone has Mac and Cheese on their tables. It’s a dish that is loved by all, but served as a side or a main course depending on your culture.

Mac and Cheese in our family was a dish that my Momma (RIH…my Grandma..but I call her Momma) made with all of the love in Heaven & Earth!  It was so creamy and gooey, and she used like six different cheeses. If Momma was cooking what you gotta know is that everyone was pulling up.  The whole family! Okay!

So when I found out I was allergic to dairy, and went vegan my first thought was omggggg… What about Momma’s Mac and Cheese!!!! I was devastated! What was I gonna eat?

My brain needed a replacement, so I turned in to a Mac n Cheese scientist to try to “attempt” to make my Momma’s version..VEGAN!  I TRIED SOO MANY DIFFERENT RECIPES… AND I WAS APPALLED!  The flavors weren’t hitting like Mommas. So then I went back to the drawing board and looked for vegan cheeses that would

  1. Melt
  2. Not Contain Nuts
  3. What could make it creamy

And this is what I came up with.. and it’s straight… FIRE!

So… HERE. TRY THIS AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK

I love y’all to life!

Why Can’t I Lose this Weight!

Published on | in #FFFF Challenge, Dietary Needs, Nutrition By

I feel like I have been trying to lose 20lbs for 10 years.  Let’s be real.  I am doing something wrong.  So I started paying more attention to the foods that I’m eating.  I’m 100% Vegan.  There is no way I should be having weight issues.  That is not real. It is a lie.  What you eat no matter who you are matters.

My issues have been consistency… I forget to eat, and by doing that it makes my body hold on to what it can because it doesn’t know when I will get another meal.  Facts.  So I have to be more consistent about eating.

Next issue, eating foods that are calorie dense.  The foods that I decided to eat once I finally got around to eating… were heavy. You can actually eat more and lose more if you focus on foods that are water rich.  Why? Because water dilutes the calories allowing you to eat more. I know it sounds crazy but listen… I have been learning more and more ya’ll.

An example… a cup of frickin raisins…. 500 calories. (which is more than a meal in our meal prep). Stay with me…now lets look at a cup of grapes.. (seeded of course) that same cup is only 62 calories!!!!!!!!

YEP. GO BACK AND READ THAT AGAIN!

And the result…both cups will make you feel full but one is WAYYYY HEAVIER!

So pay attention to the foods that you are eating, or they heavy and calorie dense? or Light & Water Rich?

This is Day 6 of the #Faith #Family #Food #Fitness Challenge (Click Here to Learn More #FFFFChallenge) and I am totally trying to make a difference in my body!  So join in with me… it doesn’t matter when you start, the blessing is that you just START!

What has been some of the struggles of your weightless journey?
