Our 20 Min Meal Class was AWESOME!

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!!

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.

This Weeks Recipes: Vegan Steaks, Watermelon Refreshers, & Que’s Pasta Salad!

We had a blast at our June Class!

Talk about a pre 4th of July Vegan BBQ!  We learned how to make homemade seitan, and it tasted phenomenal!  Beyond Meat gave us amazing options to have for the plant based eaters in our lives.  We sampled their burgers, which I love and obsess with, and their new sausages.  I don't know what they do, but the smokey taste make my tastebuds soo happy!

For dessert, instead of loading up with cakes and pies, we had watermelon refreshers which are always a crowd pleaser.  I don't think people think that lime, mint, and watermelon go together.  #TheyDo! #Hello!

Having a good knife in the kitchen is like…..(insert thought here)

Having a good knife in the kitchen is like…Mash Potatoes with Gravy..Vegan Mac N Cheez... a Beyond Meat burger on a Pretzel bun topped with Kale, Tomato, Avocado, Ketchup, Mustard, extra pickles and a lil Sriracha!!! Are you picking up what I'm putting down?

LOL!

Listen, I love a good knife.  I love to cook, so I am always chopping, slicing, cutting and dicing everything in sight!  I love my knives! People come to my house and if they help me in the kitchen, they are like… Que… where did this knife come from.  Soooo I have decided to share my secrets.  I’m literally going to tell you where my knives were born! #InJesusName!

Is Your Salmon Safe?

 

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.

Have You Ever Been to Detroit Vegan Soul in Detroit?

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
