The Crowd Pleaser: Que’s Pasta Salad!

Cooking With Que #FauxThanksgiving #PopUp

Published on | in Uncategorized By Cooking with Que |

I wondered what would happen if I went against the grain and cooked something different this year for the holidays. Everyone expects turkey on Thanksgiving and I wanted to try out a new recipe and see if the turkey would be missed.

I was like a mad scientist trying to figure out what food would be filling to my guests, and then see how I could pull this all together and not spend a crap load of money. My brain said, you have to have a Cooking With Que #FauxThanksgivingDinner #PopUp. That sounds weird right? Oh, but that’s exactly what it was.

Do you ever see this in the grocery store and say hmmm...what’s that? And keep going? Well guess what… it’s BOK CHOY!!!!

For those who have never tried it, it’s a go to food of mine, if I want something that’s quick and filling.

Let me give you the basic details first ok.

100 grams of this leafy green is literally 13 calories. Did you hear me? I’m repeating this, 100 grams of this leafy green is 13 calories (shouts on the inside). So for a person that’s looking to drop a few pounds, you will be full, and excited about the taste of this vegetable.

My Saturday Morning Go To – Redskins

Hey Family 🙂

This is a super simple recipe that can be used for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. In our house, Saturday mornings this is the go to.

Redskins are my choice of potato because when I cook them, I leave the skin on. The skin is thin and filled with nutrients, fiber, b vitamins, iron and potassium, just to name a few.

What’s crazy is that half the fiber in this potato comes from the actual skin!!!

So leave that skin on, and get to cooking 🙂

Click here for the full recipe.

Try it out for yourself, and like I always say, my tastebuds and your tastebuds are different, so season it to taste!

When you make it, snap a pic and tag me on Instagram, #CookingWithQue.

Until next time, may your tastebuds be Forever Satisfied!

Juice: Concentrate or Not from Concentrate

I drink orange juice almost every morning, it is my juice of choice. My husband has grape juice almost every morning, that's his juice of choice.

Questions were being asked on some show I was watching about fruit juice, what's the best juice to drink concentrated or unconcentrated … Is it healthy? Is sugar added? In my head I started defending juice ... Yes, it's healthy. I love it, so if it's natural, how could it not be healthy? I’m talking 100% juice not some sugary drink.

I now wanted to know which of the two types is healthiest. Shopping for my morning orange juice, I had to decide which was best for my family!

Drink water much?

#FoodCravings, Are you listening to what your Body is telling you?

When your body gives you signals do you pay attention to them?

Do you know what they are?

I am a vegan and allergic to dairy (nice right?). I found out as an adult. I used to be sick all the time. The copays and hospital visits were driving me crazy!! When they found out that I had sarcoidosis, through a lung biopsy - It. Changed. Everything. On top of that they learned that multiple reactions were occurring due to an egg and dairy allergy. Do you know how many things have dairy in it? It was even in the pills that several doctors were prescribing. Now, I pay attention to everything. I read the labels. I pay attention to what I put inside of my body, I know when it's lacking something.

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?
