First, let me say....... I wanted to catch a quick flight to Indiana, but my brain wouldn't let me be great. I'm always looking for savings and it just didn't make sense to spend $300+ on flights when we could drive four hours from Michigan and only spend $23.50 on gas! Yep. Welcome to my brain! Sooo hubby and I drove... well he drove! LOL! I was proud to be a passenger because I got 90 days worth of content ready to go for Cooking with Que!

We arrived at like 1:30 in the morning on Saturday and the city was popping! Like seriously...I'm grown and I love sleep, but Downtown Indianapolis wouldn't let me be great! People were out! Walking the streets like it was nothing! All I wanted to do was stretch my legs and check into our hotel! But our stomachs told another story! We were HUNGRY! My Husband and I were like where are 2 Vegans about to eat at 2 a.m.? In the words of my Momma (rest her soul in heaven) ain't nothing open after 2 but legs (excuse my vernacular....lol)!! Oh, but Downtown Indy was POPPINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG!!! OKAYYYY!!

Is Your Salmon Safe?

Published on | in Fish By

The fish industry, Salmon in particular, is facing an increase in parasites ... worms ... in this case - Sea Lice. Note that Sea Lice IS naturally present in Wild Caught Salmon, however it is thriving heavily in the Farm Raised environment, so much, that it is disruptive.

This could mean that the fish that ends up on your plate has the parasite (that you would then ingest) or toxic chemicals will be used to "control" the Sea Lice (that you would then ingest).

If you choose to eat fish as apart of your diet, be EXTREMELY CAREFUL and PICKY in your selection and source of fish as you don't want parasites to choose you as their new home. As yucky or extreme as that may sound - it's the truth guys - and if you must, we suggest you purchase Wild Caught over Farm Raised - as the fish comes from it's natural environment.

Protect your temple and consider transitioning to a more plant-based diet.

Listen,

I come to you bearing great news on food! Since I'm #OBSESSED with sharing.... I need to share with you some of my favorite restaurants, since I have been on this Vegan journey!

On my birthday...August 29th.....of...well a few years ago, my husband realized that since I'd gone Vegan there was no place that I'd been where I could order ANY AND EVERYTHING on the menu!

Well listen, he took me to Detroit Vegan Soul, and my heart melted, just as fast as the morsels a food did into my mouth! THIS PLACE IS EVERYTHING!!!!!  The atmosphere is comfy and homely. The menu consists of all the soul food that regular Meat Eaters love, but a 
Vegan twist.  The owners are the nicest ladies ever. Their staff reflects the same, super nice, courteous, very involved in making sure you had an awesome experience, and they have tasted everything on the menu and will give you honest feedback 🙂

The first few times I went to this spot,  I ordered the same thing! The

If you have stumbled across this post you are actually a part of one of the most momentous times of my life ... my first blog entry.

Ironically my first blog entry would be on a Vegan site when I am NOT a Vegan. But if you are like me, and Que has gotten you in the mood to go to the store and make a Kale sandwich (or something along the line of that) THEN THIS IS THE POST FOR YOU.

I know what you’re thinking already, "Liz, why would we take Vegan advice from someone who isnt even Vegan?? Are you high?" Well first off I’m not high, and don’t call me Shirley. Now, let’s get started.
