Hey Family,

Did I get your attention.  I meant what I said.  I’m absolutely not gonna talk about Donald Trump.  I’m not gonna mention Hillary Clinton either.  I’m not even going to say the word DIET (well only to explain why this is not one, stick with me!) Cooking with Que does not do diets!! WE EAT TO LIVE.

So before we start our 357 Vegan Fast, we have to get our hearts ready and our minds right.  This is not a diet.  I don’t even want to call it a diet, because the word “DIET” freaks people out.  Calling it a diet means that we just wanna try this and if it doesn’t work we are gonna just try something else.

Alright fam,

It's been on my mind to say what everyone else is thinking.

It is absolutely NOT OK, to EAT LIKE CRAP

EAT TO LIVE!!!!

You are what you eat, and because of that I want to make it a point to give you the information that you need to begin. People make it complicated and it’s not. It is a Mindset. You have to see yourself eating differently. You actually have to make the effort. Know what you are buying at the grocery store. Know if you are drinking enough water. Are you listening to what your body is telling you?

Well, yesterday, it was me!!!

I wanted to grill everything! I mean everything! I wanted grilled carrots, grilled asparagus, grilled mushrooms, grilled corn, grilled veggie dogs, and grilled salmon for the meat-eaters in my house. I told you… ALL GRILLED EVERYTHING! As soon as I left work, I hit the grocery store and BOOM, I had a cart filled with all the items that I wanted.

The question of the day goes to all the last minute shoppers like myself who need to go grocery shopping for the holiday (today.. Yep. I’m super last minute). Do you read labels at the grocery store? Or do you just Grab-N-Go?

In the last blog, we talked about grocery shopping and how to keep it healthy. Now, I want to take it a bit further and look at the items that you are purchasing, read the label and understand what it’s telling you.

Look at this nifty sample macaroni label  --------------------------------->

Words of Wisdom: Stay Close to the Perimeter

I say this because along the perimeter of every grocery store lies all of your fresh, preservative free foods. I’m talking food in its natural form. Not canned. Not made to last forever. Just the fresh stuff. Think about it.
Where are the fresh fruits and fresh veggies at your local market. Right on the outskirts of the store! Fresh meats? Around the outside. Fish? You know where this is heading right? There is a difference from the fish you purchase at the fresh fish counter versus the fish in the aisle ... in those cans. (just sayin’)
