STOP!!! Go to Your Seasoning Cabinet Right Now and Throw this OUT!!!
How Dunkin Peppermint Mocha Latte set off the Holiday Season!
Gahhhhh!! Fammmm I did it! I tried coffee, and it made me happy! So my tastebuds wanted to cook with it. First thing I did was try to figure out how to get it into a Donut!!! It's the holidays and this would be a totally different way to level up desserts with all of my favorite things. I tried it with different coffees but my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE... IS THE DUNKIN PEPPERMINT MOCHA LATTE!!!!!
Listennnnn!!!! Y'all know I'm a picky eater.. so if a saint was gonna try coffee....I needed to know which one I liked the best and stick with it!! I found out last year that Dunkin Donuts didn't have the Peppermint Mocha Latte so surelyyyyyy God knew it was time for them to bless us with it this year!!! I'm so happy they did. The flavor is nice and deep. Like a red wine of coffee deep and then pairing it with Peppermint, and Almond Milk.. or Soy Milk.. or Oat Milk.. wellll huntyyyyy IT'S GOOD GOOD!
So you now me, I wanted to find a way to stick that flavor into something I loved. A Donut. So just imagine.. a (york peppermint patty on coffee.... STRAIGHT FIRE)
OK...enough with my over the top descriptions!!! Let me just give you this recipe!!! Oh.. and we made it on Fox 2 News Detroit this morning.. and guess what... THEY LOVED IT!!!!

Until next time.. may your tastebuds be......
FOREVER SATISFIED!!!

Meal Preps Are Here! Are you Ready?
The most asked question in the Cooking with Que inbox..... Do you have Meal Preps! Literally.
I had to take the time to determine what would work because I didn't want to be another "Box" service with food that will last for 7-10 days! That's absolutely ridiculous to me. Like what fresh food do you get out of a garden... and it lasts you for that long! GET OUTTA HERE!
My brain says, if something is supposed to be fresh, you should have to go get another batch sooner than later. I grocery shop a couple times per week. Fresh Kale... Spinach.. Tomatoes those items when they are truly fresh.. don't last for 2 weeks fam! So I wanted to figure out how to make this beneficial for everyone involved. Vegans and Meat Eaters alike. So all my local peeps will have access to pick up or delivery options. I only have spots for 10 Out of State peeps, to let me know how they like getting food every 3-4 days.

Happy Easter! He is Risen! Food, Family, & Fun!
I hope everyone is having an amazing day. Today is the first day I have felt almost 100% since dealing with my most recent Sarcoidosis flare up. I have literally been in bed for 5+ days. A saint was out for a minute, breathing treatments every couple of hours. Steroids, no sleep. JUST ANNOYING! But He is Risen! Today, I felt like getting up! Going to Church! and even Cooking!! I was soo excited!
Honestly, the holidays are different with Momma not being here, Rest In Heaven Momma!. I know everyone says, it will get easier. it doesn't. This morning my Sissy called and
Late Lent Starters?
You ever get so busy that you know you are supposed to be doing something, but you can’t remember what?
How did I forget Lent was here. What’s even worse, I didn’t have a thought about giving anything up. Like literally. I hear and see everyone talk about, I’m giving up sweets, drinking, eating...blah blah blah.
I think, it’s almost become so commercial, it’s like a New Years Resolution. Remember that? The thing that is promised to do… but never lives past like the last day of January! Smh.
Lent is supposed to be a journey, sacrificial, its to represent the time Jesus was in the wilderness preparing for his ministry work.
And I. Forgot.
#InsertPalmToFaceEmojiHere smh.
So, I am not going to beat myself up. I’m going to deal with it, and face it head on.
What I plan on giving up for the next 40 days, and hopefully it starts a new habit……
WORRY
I’m giving up worrying. It’s not healthy for you. It makes you sick, mentally and physically. It’s a waste of time, and God doesn’t make mistakes! PERIOD!
So goodbye worry! I don’t need you. Everything is going to be alright in it’s time
What did you give up for Lent?

Que’s Fox 2 Bloopers that made National News
I almost kept this to myself, but we all deal with life right? Imagine having a segment on Fox 2 News in the morning....literally prime air time... and you don't have everything that you need.
I'm talking its the week before the Super Bowl! The beginning of Black History Month, and Heart Health Awareness and you get invited to talk about some amazing recipes that can be used for Super Bowl Parties for those family and friends. I'm excited! Some of the recipes that we are known for is the Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos and the Chorizo Queso Dip...so we go with those two ideas along with some oven roasted (not deep friend) buffalo wings, for the meat eaters in the house!
I'm set to be on the segment with Deena Centofani, Lee Thomas, and Ryan Ermanni, all of the faves! Set to be there by 9:30 but the work starts before hand. This segment was during Michigans Winter Storm Dante (it had some name.. I just remember calling it Dante) Listen, it snowed uncontrollably and the weather was like -35 degrees! It was aweful! Because of the weather... Trader Joes couldn't get deliveries, so they couldn't get Soy Chorizo, the main ingredient for the Vegan Chorizo Q'ueso,... I drove around and checked every neighboring store. So I knew I had to change of the recipe!
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…)
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? (more…)
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.
