LISTENNNNNN!!!!  Go to Your Seasoning Cabinet Right Now and Throw this OUT!!!

What you may ask?

EXPIRED SEASONINGS!!

I just did a live on Facebook about this YESTERDAY.!!! Didnt see it?  You can watch Here!

The goal is to make sure folks understand that we have to RESPECT EXPIRATION DATES!

They exist for a reason on foods and herbs and spices!!  YESSSSS THE SPICES IN YOUR CABINET!!!!

When they are expired they are no longer good for you!!  HEAR ME CLEARLYYYY!!!! Expired food and seasonings are not good for your body!

It’s for sure time for us to start respecting expiration dates!!

  • First stop… YOUR SEASONING CABINET!
  • Next…. YOUR FREEZER!!
  • Then….. YOUR FRIDGE!!
  • And dont forget about YOUR PANTRY

… with all the canned foods too!!!!  They already have additives and preservatives so that it lasts longer…. But chyleeeee if you are already past that…THROW IT OUT! THROW IT OUT! (In my T.I. Voice)

Ok! Imma get off my soap box 📦

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:

  1. You woke up
  2. You have lights
  3. You can breathe
  4. You can shower
  5. You can Brush your Teeth
  6. 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…)

Today I’m pissed off at my Sarcoidosis!

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…)

Cravings! What is your Body telling you?

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!

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!

But He is Risen!  Today, I felt like getting up! Going to Church! and even Cooking!!  I was soo excited!

Honestly, the holidays are different with Momma not being here, Rest In Heaven Momma!.  I know everyone says, it will get easier. it doesn't.  This morning my Sissy called and

Pilsbury Pie Crusts!  Did you know that they don't have any diary in them!!! Screams. (edited: I did learn that it is not vegan though, it has Lard, sooo I will give you a freakishly easy Pilsbury knock off crust recipe in the mean time)
