The Quarantine Chronicles of Cooking with Que -Positivity & Respecting Expiration Dates

Published on | in Dietary Needs, How To, Uncategorized By Cooking with Que |

Today we met on Facebook and Instagram for some Virtual Positivity and Hugs 🙂

It seems like there is so much negativity out there that we are missing out on finding the positive. So… we talked some of the positives out.

For example:

You woke up
You have lights
You can breathe
You can shower
You can Brush your Teeth
Pancakes? Yes you can make them lol (here’s a recipe)

We also came up with a plan, to save everyone from their Quarantine Boredom… Enjoyyyyyyy life! Your Family! and Stay Positive!

Now…we all need order so I figured we could have things to do daily, that will keep us in good health, and positive! (more…)

Safely Delivering Your Meals: Catered or Meal Prep with Cooking with Que
We’re working closely with national and local authorities as well as a panel of health and safety experts to actively monitor the situation and ensure we’re operating safely with minimal disruption to service. Just know what are taking appropriate precautions to safely deliver your items. All Meal Prep Items will now be in completely disposable recyclable containers until we are in the clear.

Today I’m pissed off at my Sarcoidosis!

Published on | in Healthy, How To, Sarcoidosis, Tips By Cooking with Que |

It bothers me that there is a disease called Sarcoidosis that people don’t talk about because I guess it’s not a bigger disease. Not looking for any sympathy, really. I’m just what a person would call pissed off. Rightfully so. It sneaks up on you when you don’t have time, when you have stuff to do… like a business to run, a family to take care of..you know life. It has no respect. It doesn’t give you a warning when you are about to have a flare up. You just walk around life avoiding sick people because you know you have this autoimmune disease that loves to lower your ability to fight off illness blah blah blah.

Oh but today. I’M PISSED OFF. (more…)

The one thing I hear all the time is for parties and gatherings people want to have fried wings. I’m totally ok with going against the grain…and avoiding fried foods! I totally despise the way it smells like old grease after it’s done! LOL! So I wanted to create a recipe that didn’t need to fry, but still give you the crunch.

This is for Vegans and Meateaters, it give you the feel of the most perfectly fried dish but… it’s baked!

HELLO!

Serve it with your favorite sauces! Buffalo, BBQ and Vegan Ranch are my favs! OMG! Let me stop talking and give you all the recipe! LOL

Gahhhhh!! Fammmm I did it! I tried coffee, and it made me happy! So my tastebuds wanted to cook with it. First thing I did was try to figure out how to get it into a Donut!!! It's the holidays and this would be a totally different way to level up desserts with all of my favorite things. I tried it with different coffees but my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE... IS THE DUNKIN PEPPERMINT MOCHA LATTE!!!!!

Listennnnn!!!! Y'all know I'm a picky eater.. so if a saint was gonna try coffee....I needed to know which one I liked the best and stick with it!! I found out last year that Dunkin Donuts didn't have the Peppermint Mocha Latte so surelyyyyyy God knew it was time for them to bless us with it this year!!! I'm so happy they did. The flavor is nice and deep. Like a red wine of coffee deep and then pairing it with Peppermint, and Almond Milk.. or Soy Milk.. or Oat Milk.. wellll huntyyyyy IT'S GOOD GOOD!

So you now me, I wanted to find a way to stick that flavor into something I loved. A Donut. So just imagine.. a (york peppermint patty on coffee.... STRAIGHT FIRE)

OK...enough with my over the top descriptions!!! Let me just give you this recipe!!! Oh.. and we made it on Fox 2 News Detroit this morning.. and guess what... THEY LOVED IT!!!!

Cravings! What is your Body telling you?

Published on | in Blog, Dietary Needs, Healthy, How To, Tips By Cooking with Que |

The most asked question in the last 2 months has been about Snacks. So I wanted to talk to you all about it. My Meal Preps with Cooking with Que fam has been at it for 4 weeks strong now, they get Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, but they have to drink a glass a water with each meal. Meal prep I great, but what happens when you want to snack in between. Some times we Stress Eat, Some time we just wanna stuff our faces.. I’m just speaking for myself (side eyes) lol. So I’m going to give you my honest snacking options.

1. Know why you are snacking? Are you really hungry? or Nah?

2. If you are genuinely hungry… has there been any changes in your diet, activity etc.

3. Pay attention to what you are craving, because usually what we crave is what our body is lacking.

Ok… Lets look at some things we CRAVE!

Meal Preps Are Here! Are you Ready?

The most asked question in the Cooking with Que inbox..... Do you have Meal Preps! Literally.

I had to take the time to determine what would work because I didn't want to be another "Box" service with food that will last for 7-10 days! That's absolutely ridiculous to me. Like what fresh food do you get out of a garden... and it lasts you for that long! GET OUTTA HERE!

My brain says, if something is supposed to be fresh, you should have to go get another batch sooner than later. I grocery shop a couple times per week. Fresh Kale... Spinach.. Tomatoes those items when they are truly fresh.. don't last for 2 weeks fam! So I wanted to figure out how to make this beneficial for everyone involved. Vegans and Meat Eaters alike. So all my local peeps will have access to pick up or delivery options. I only have spots for 10 Out of State peeps, to let me know how they like getting food every 3-4 days.

August is Turmerific!Hello family! Welcome to our new plant of the month blog series! My name is Savannah Grace. I am a 9 year old girl who lives in North Carolina with my mom and spends summers in Michigan with my dad. I love to read fiction books and write short stories. I draw pictures of animals in my spare time, my favorite color is magenta and I think eating healthy is important! I am also proud to say I am Auntie Que’s niece! One day while visiting Auntie Que's business, The Kitchen, I thought it would be cool for her to have a plant of the month for her store. She loved the idea and told me that I should write a blog. It was our idea to start this blog series about a new plant every month. I am happy to announce that the plant of the month for July is turmeric! Turmeric’s scientific name is Curcuma longa. I think that is so cool! I will use the 4-1-1 to share my excitement about turmeric. That is 4 fun facts about turmeric, one surprising fact, and my favorite fact!4 Fun Facts About Turmeric -Turmeric has more than 50 types of use! This includes tea, skin uses, spices, soups, and more!-Turmeric has the potential to help prevent heart diseases, cancer and Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is a very bad disease. It destroys memory and brain cells.-Turmeric is also referred to as roots and Indian saffron. It was found in New Deli in the time period of B.C.-Turmeric is a yellow-ish powder and it has helped some people to lose weight1 Thing That May Surprise You About Turmeric:Too much turmeric can cause stomach aches, nausea, dizziness, and bathroom trips. Also the first 'r' in Turmeric is silent. That sure fooled me at first. 1 Thing I Love About Turmeric:My favorite thing about turmeric is how it is used as a ceremonial plant in Asia. Turmeric is a very important part of their culture. It is also identified as the Golden Spice! This is Savannah Grace saying thanks for hearing me out. See ya next month!
