STOP!!! Go to Your Seasoning Cabinet Right Now and Throw this OUT!!!
Day #16 / #75Hard with Cooking with Que Challenge
Good Morning. #Day16
Everyday won’t be easy. Diamonds don’t become Diamonds if there is no pressure applied. Tears will flow. You will own them. Journeys aren’t journeys because they are easy. There is a reason for Growing Pains.
It is ok.
This is the face of someone who is Full. Who took a break by hiding in their truck. This face understands that being tested pushes you to new levels. God has a reason for everything. Fail forward.
Look at the whole picture.
What went right.
What went wrong.
What can you control.
What / Who can you not control.
15 Minute Cry.
Scream and Ask God His expectations.
Wait Quietly for the Response.
Move Forward.
Moment of Transparency .
No one is Perfect.
God made us all perfectly flawed.
The Bonus.
God Made Us.
GOD DOESN’T MAKE MISTAKES.
Chew. On. That.

Cooking with Que / The Kitchen by Cooking with Que Health & Safety Update
Hey Family!!!
I pray that you all are in great health or healing Godspeed! At Cooking with Que & The Kitchen by Cooking with Que, the health and safety of our entire community is our top priority. Today we’re sharing a number of updates with our clients about new health and safety guidelines related to COVID-19 as well as features available on the Cooking with Que site.
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. Thank you to everyone who has been apart of us saving the planet thus far by returning recycled containers, but for the safety of our community we will be using completely disposable recyclable containers.
Introducing “Leave at My Door Delivery”
Next week, we are offering “Leave at My Door Delivery” feature to all customers, giving you more flexibility in how you want to receive your Meal Prep Orders. To use the new feature, simply select “Leave at My Door Delivery” as part of your delivery options at checkout. You’ll receive a photo confirmation once your Meal Prep order has been delivered.
Dining at The Kitchen by Cooking with Que
There is a reason why we are known as the cleanest Kitchen in the City of Detroit, because of our overly precautious cleaning methods. Our goal is to teach our community how to eat to live, and we will continue to do so.
For the latest info on the precautions you can take, please visit the CDC’s website.
We are blessed to have you as members of the Cooking with Que community!!!
We Love You to Life!

Veggie of the Month: Tumeric by Savannah Grace Carter
Quick Update
Hi Family,
It has been OFF THE CHAIN! We just went into our fourth week of being open and it has been amazing! Like soo amazing. Let me be honest though. The work is real. I've been doing Live Demonstrations, for over 4 years now. Running a new brick and mortar, that we've decided to offer healthy lunch to our community is a whole nothing situation. I know everyone thing that social media tells the real story.. THAT IS A LIE! No one sees the hard work, the long late hours, the crying, the wondering if you are doing things right, the falling forward. None of that. It's legit HARD WORK!
I didn't tell anyone I quit my dream day job on May third, and it got real.....REAL QUICK. But you all know how I roll, if God tells me to go, I'm running. I'm not asking any questions I'm out (and we all know how much I loved my job...okay!!!) Surely, God has something else in store for me. There has been learning curves, hiccups and whatever else you want to call it. but...IT IS WORTH IT! YOU HEAR ME SAINTS!!! IT'S WORTH IT!
WHAT'S COOKING?
Classes start next wee, and for the last month, we have been serving up lunch from 11-2pm. We have a wonderful ever changing menu, but there is always smoothies, salads, and sandwiches. Every Friday we are hosting an event called the Afterwork Wine Down, where you can enjoy your bottle, and our healthy cuisine. Starting in July... get ready for our monthly Chef Battle, and Kitchen Karaoke (info coming soon).
Here is the link to the Transitioning to a Plant Based Lifestyle Classes
Well, I'm pretty sure you will hear from me more now!!!!!!!
Until next time, may your tastebuds be
Forever satisfied!

Que!
Ok, I have to tell the TRUTH
I've been missing in action, I know. I owe recipes, and updates. I know, I know. I've been keeping things to myself because, if you know me, I think I can fix everything. Lies. That is a boldface lie. Sometimes, you have to just live and let God!
Since you guys are my Family too, I have to ask for a favor. I need you all to say a prayer for me for some important things in my life.
Meet Quiana “Que” Broden and learn the “Why” behind Cooking With Que
Soooo before you understand “Que” I gotta let you in on some things … ok?
The Why …
I have not been Vegan my whole life. Surprised? Don’t be. It’s been a couple of years now. And I mean a couple of GREAT, LIFE CHANGING YEARS.
10 years ago, I was a person with chronic sinus issues, always had bronchitis, like seriously; I could catch a full-blown cold in the middle of summer. After a gazillion tests, copays, skin biopsies and even a lung biopsy – I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis and they found that I was allergic to DAIRY (yeah … tears were shed). Due to the stage of this obnoxious Lung Disease and the aggressiveness of it, I was told that I needed to be put on steroids and that I would have to take them everyday for the rest of my life. (WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!…. were my words.. VERBATIM, to my pulmonary specialist)
My mind couldn’t fathom taking a drug that would deteriorate my kidneys and break me down – and I wasn’t even 30 yet? All I could think about were my kids. I refused to break myself down and kill myself with all of the prescribed drugs that I was going to have to take. NO!!!!!! …… NoThankYou!!
So I did what any person would do … I searched for alternative holistic methods and recipes and that was how my healthy way of life started.
(For the record, I only take meds on occasion when I’m having major Sarcoid flare ups, outside of that… I don’t take STEROIDS DAILY AND I’M HEALTHY AS EVER!!!! BOOM!!!)
The Vegan Transition … in a Land of MeatEaters
This came about by fluke of nature people! After the normal Thanksgiving – Christmas feasting… I was feeling tired, overly full, completely bloated and I honestly felt like I weighed as much as a Walrus (No Joke). My body had enough and so I said … NO MORE. I NEED TO GO ON A 10 DAY CLEANSE!!!!! I had to reboot my insides. I started #ColdTurkey (no pun intended). It was immediate. I told my family and I kept my word.
When my 10 days were up, I didn’t feel the need to go back. And guess what? Till this very day, I’m still on my cleanse! LOL!
This body of mine is happy, healthy and doing it without anything that had a Momma!
My husband and kids are still MeatEaters, but they are healthy MeatEaters. They have minimal dairy (they don’t know it though) and eat chicken, turkey and seafood, No Pork and No Red Meats. My grandparents … oh … let me tell you … they sneak the kids burgers every now and then (smh) they think it’s a treat for them (and you can’t really tell an 80 & 83 year old what to do … it DOES NOT END WELL, believe me I’ve tried!!!).
Now, being Vegan in a house full of MeatEaters is a normal way of life for me. I cook some pretty awesome meals for my family everyday and “Cooking With Que” is the space I have created to show people from any kitchen, healthy ways to satisfy everyone at the table.
So, Welcome Family!!!!!!!

#357VeganChallenge #Day4
Hi Fam
It’s Friday Eve and my darling you have made it past 3 days into the 3 | 5 | 7 Vegan Challenge!!!!
Whoop!! Whoop!! (screams yeahh)
You are doing it!!!!
For those of you who chose 3 days YOU MADE IT!!! You completed the challenge and I hope that you #FinishedStrong
For those who chose to take it further like 5 days or 7 days, keep up the great work!!!
I wanted to make sure that this 3 | 5 | 7 Vegan Challenge was comfortable for everyone. I wanted each person to be able to make it their own. Try it for 3 days, then the following month push yourself even further by trying it for longer. It’s completely up to you. Whatever makes you comfortable 🙂
I posted a video to really get everyone to focus on Why you chose to do this. Knowing your Why helps you to push towards your goals mentally and physically. Feel free to reply back to this email and let me know your why!! I included it below.
Just know… I’m super proud of you!!!
I really am 🙂
Til next time, may your tastebuds be forever satisfied!!!!
Que 🙂
P.S. Snap a pic of your meals and tag me @CookingWithQue and use the #357VeganChallenge hashtag on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!! I’d love to see how you are doing 🙂
Trump, Hillary, & Diets … 3 Things you don’t want to talk about
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.
