So this is the quickest peach cobbler you will ever make, because THAT'S WHAT I DO! I try to make some of your favorite down home recipes taste amazing but I'm obsessed with making sure my family lives happier healthier lifestyles! So I want you to be able to pronounce what you are actually cooking!

Now, in our family the best part is.....HAVING A GOOD CRUST TO PEACH RATIO!  We loveeeeee the crust.   Do you hear me?  What I don't have, is a lot of time to make my crust from scratch so I found the next best thing.... 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)

One of these packages has 2 pie crust in it.  Perfect for a pie pan, and the other great thing is if you need to change the shape, you can roll them out on a board to become whatever you need.

Who’s Cooking for Christmas?

This is the question that the majority of the “Chefs” of the family hear!  It’s like.. did you really need to ask?  Ohhh ….. or are you being funny!  LOL!

It doesn’t even matter who’s house it’s at.  Everyone wants to know what I’m bringing!  My family used to be super petty and say, Quiana don’t bring none of that Vegan ish!   Now they don’t care, they just want to know that I’m cooking.  You know why… because no matter what I bring… they will eat it! #InJesusName!

This year I’m thinking about switching it up.  I just want something different.  I’m thinking Lasagna… maybe a pan for the Vegans and MeatEaters.  Doesn’t that sound yummy.  Honestly, I could be hungry right now, but that’s what I’m feeling right now!  For sides, I always want some greenage to go with pasta!  Maybe a Power Salad and Garlicky Green Beans for the win!  I’ll add some Portobello mushrooms to the green beans to sneak in more veggies in on the fam, but the taste of (more…)

Que’s Favorite Holiday Cocktail | Champagne and St. Germain

Happy Day Family!

I totally have to share my favorite holiday cocktail!  The most simple drink with the greatest flavor ever!  Its really nice and light!  I love dry champagne because it has the lowest carbs ever, it's not too sweet, and its nice and bubbly! My favorite champagne is Veuve Clicquot, but when you are balling on a budget, any dry champagne will do!  To take our celebration to the next level, I wanted to add a simple fruit like a raspberry, or a blueberry to the bottom of the flute, and to make it a more floral tasting and aromatic, I added St Germain, which is an elderflower liquor. Oh my gravy and mash potatoes!  When you taste this it's going to make your life so happy!

All Drinks are not Created Equal!

Be Mindful of your drinking this holiday season.  Don’t over do it with all those secret sugars, hidden in juices and all those pretty drinks.  Just because it’s pretty and festive doesn’t mean it’s Vegan either! Whatttttttt!!! (I know that’s what you’re thinking!)  It’s totally fine, I thought the same thing, and we all know what happened after that… I rannnnnnnnn too……(wait for it)…...GOOGLE! LOL!

What do you mean Vegan Alcohol?

Vegans don’t eat anything with a Momma (my 2 yr old thought process).  If it’s got a Momma we won’t eat it.  That rule applies to everything.  So when creating holiday drinks, I have to check the options, for wine, liquor … everything.  Did you know there was a site you can visit that will  let you check to see if it’s vegan?

Desserts – A healthier take on the Desserts you feed Yourself & Your Family!

Ok....

I tried not to give everyone the business on this topic, but the truth is.... IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE!

We need to change the thought process on desserts!

After dinner you think desserts are cakes, cookies, pies, pastries all that.  In my mind when I see it, I know we think that way because of the history,  because of those who came before us.  Desserts for holidays were pies, and cobblers.  Sweets.  High Fructose Corn Syrup. Sugars. All sugar everything.

Now listen, I know I just did a Facebook live the other day, I posted it on Youtube for all of the Saints and Aints’ that don’t have Facebook.  Go Watch it! No Joke! It gives you all the information that you need about this healthy drink.

This is Apple, Beetroot, and Carrot Juice.

Very simple recipe but power packed! If you want to see the recipe, check it out here!

For those who don't know my Husband deals with pulmonary embolisms.  There are hereditary, and the blood clots that usually form in the limbs and then travel to places that you don't want them to go.  They are painful and uncomfortable  as they travel.  When you are diagnosed with them the usual treatment is taking blood thinners, so that the blood clots will break up, and also as a preventative way to stop them from occurring.  What we wanted to do was to find a natural way to break the blood clots down as well.  So we put together this drink as a natural blood thinner for my Hubby.

Now, ABC represents, Apple, Beetroot, and Carrot and in trying to create this natural blood thinner, we found out that it has soooooo many benefits. Literally this drink will flush all the unwanted toxins out of your body. Let's look at some of the research I found.

We made Apple Pancakes on Fox 2! | Recipe Inside

Oh my Gravy and Mash Potatoes!  We were on Fox 2 Again!  This time we made Apple Pancakes and they were a hit!  I will say, we bought all natural pancake mix from our local grocery store, Kroger to be exact.  The brand was Log Cabin, because their ingredients were simple.  We followed the recipe on the back, but instead of using Eggs and Milk, we made it Vegan by using a Non- Dairy Milk, like Soy Milk or Almond Milk, and Olive oil instead of Eggs.

To top it off, instead of using regular syrup, we cut the calories by just drizzling agave on top!  These pancakes were from HEAVEN!  They taste soooo good!  You have to try it!

Well, Check out our Fox 2 clip below, and of course I threw in the recipe too!

We had so much fun in our 20 Min Meal Class! The recipes were nice and easy, but the taste was out of this world! We sampled foods from Breakfast to Dinner but we decided to eat backwards! So we had dinner first and breakfast ended up being the best dessert.. I mean treat ever!!

Our first course was Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos, literally from Jesus! These tacos have just the right spice to wake you up from food boredom! They are filled with dark leafy greens, topped with perfectly baked Cauliflower bathed in Buffalo Sauce from Sweet Baby Rays, and Franks Buffalo Sauce and drizzled with fresh Guacamole Salsa!

Hungry at 2 a.m. in Downtown Indianapolis ?? No Problem! #HotBoxPizza

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!!
