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!

Spring Cleaning for the Home, Mind, and Soul

Happy Sunday Family 🙂

Today on our weekly podcast Music and Meatless Meals, we talked about spring cleaning, because its March and let's face it people - it's time.

When you hear "spring cleaning" the first thing that comes to mind, is the home.  Getting the house together and organized.  Damon Johnson of DJ Realty Solutions, gave us some amazing tips as you clean room to room, and closet to closet.  Get 4 totes, label them Keep, Throw Away, Sell, and Donate. That way everything has a place, and when you are done, you can bag it up and get it out of there.  No need keeping something you wore, when you were 21 and you're 40 now.  Different seasons people!  Different seasons! Cleanliness is next to Godliness.  Don't block your blessings with all that clutter.

It’s All About That PINK Baby!!!

“… all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. we are tied to the ocean. and when we go back to the sea ... we are going back to whence we came ...”

- john f. kennedy

Without salt we could not exist. As Chef Que would say - Let’s unlearn to relearn.

Our bodies need salt (sodium). Our cells are dependent on it. As Divine Creation, it's apart of our makeup. Think of sodium as 1 source of energy to our cells  -- that 1 source that must be at the perfect balanced ratio so we do not have too much or too little. 

Now I know, some of you may be thinking, What???!!! I’ve always been told sodium is NOT good for me. DON'T eat salt. DON'T use salt. And personally, I get so mad about it because my food taste so bland without it!!! Like, really? I don't want to just eat Blah! 

Ok, ok, ok, so there is some truth behind WHY we have heard phrases like this - but let me balance it out a bit --- too much salt for you is NOT good but too little is NOT good for you either.

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

7 things that successful people do before 8 a.m.

Good Morning

I thought about you! God woke me up and the first person he had me think about was YOU!

What will make you better today than what you were yesterday. That was my thought after being the last person to go to sleep, but being the first person awake, gives you a different perspective. I wanted to tell YOU that YOU ARE LOVED! I wanted to share with you some of the things that I do before 8 am.

It will be IMPORTANT TO YOU! It will make your day better.

1. Pray

My relationship with God is the most important thing in my life, and it keeps me sane, and mentally ready for anything that could happen today. Why you may ask? It does. My brain says we are here for a bigger purpose than to just serve ourselves. We are here to build the kingdom, so I pray for everyone, and if there are specific people on my heart, or my prayer wall, I do so.

Best Vegan Mac N Cheese You Will Ever Taste!

First things first, I don’t make regular Mac N Cheese at my house anymore! Did you hear that?

None.

My family doesn’t even request it. They expect my Vegan Mac N Cheese!

My guests that come over….they don’t request it either. You know why, because it tastes like God himself put the stamp of approval on this dish!

It tastes WONDERFUL! It has all the creamy goodness, all the cheesy flavor as regular Mac N Cheese! I’m not joking, you are just going to have to try it yourself!

I didn’t even want to share the recipe, but what’s a good thing if you can’t share it with friends?

Sooooo, here it is.
