EXPIRED SEASONINGS!!

The goal is to make sure folks understand that we have to RESPECT EXPIRATION DATES!

They exist for a reason on foods and herbs and spices!!  YESSSSS THE SPICES IN YOUR CABINET!!!!

When they are expired they are no longer good for you!!  HEAR ME CLEARLYYYY!!!! Expired food and seasonings are not good for your body!

It’s for sure time for us to start respecting expiration dates!!

  • First stop… YOUR SEASONING CABINET!
  • Next…. YOUR FREEZER!!
  • Then….. YOUR FRIDGE!!
  • And dont forget about YOUR PANTRY

… with all the canned foods too!!!!  They already have additives and preservatives so that it lasts longer…. But chyleeeee if you are already past that…THROW IT OUT! THROW IT OUT! (In my T.I. Voice)

Why Can’t I Lose this Weight!

I feel like I have been trying to lose 20lbs for 10 years.  Let’s be real.  I am doing something wrong.  So I started paying more attention to the foods that I’m eating.  I’m 100% Vegan.  There is no way I should be having weight issues.  That is not real. It is a lie.  What you eat no matter who you are matters.

My issues have been consistency… I forget to eat, and by doing that it makes my body hold on to what it can because it doesn’t know when I will get another meal.  Facts.  So I have to be more consistent about eating.

Next issue, eating foods that are calorie dense.  The foods that I decided to eat once I finally got around to eating… were heavy. You can actually eat more and lose more if you focus on foods that are water rich.  Why? Because water dilutes the calories allowing you to eat more. I know it sounds crazy but listen… I have been learning more and more ya’ll.

An example… a cup of frickin raisins…. 500 calories. (which is more than a meal in our meal prep). Stay with me…now lets look at a cup of grapes.. (seeded of course) that same cup is only 62 calories!!!!!!!!

YEP. GO BACK AND READ THAT AGAIN!

And the result…both cups will make you feel full but one is WAYYYY HEAVIER!

So pay attention to the foods that you are eating, or they heavy and calorie dense? or Light & Water Rich?

This is Day 6 of the #Faith #Family #Food #Fitness Challenge (Click Here to Learn More #FFFFChallenge) and I am totally trying to make a difference in my body!  So join in with me… it doesn’t matter when you start, the blessing is that you just START!

What has been some of the struggles of your weightless journey?

Day #16 / #75Hard with Cooking with Que Challenge

#Day16 Moment of Transparency
Good Morning. #Day16

Everyday won’t be easy. Diamonds don’t become Diamonds if there is no pressure applied. Tears will flow. You will own them. Journeys aren’t journeys because they are easy. There is a reason for Growing Pains.
It is ok.

This is the face of someone who is Full. Who took a break by hiding in their truck. This face understands that being tested pushes you to new levels. God has a reason for everything. Fail forward.
Look at the whole picture.
What went right.
What went wrong.
What can you control.
What / Who can you not control.
15 Minute Cry.
Scream and Ask God His expectations.
Wait Quietly for the Response.
Move Forward.

Moment of Transparency .
No one is Perfect.
God made us all perfectly flawed.
The Bonus.
God Made Us.
GOD DOESN’T MAKE MISTAKES.
Chew. On. That.

Today I’m pissed off at my Sarcoidosis!

It bothers me that there is a disease called Sarcoidosis that people don’t talk about because I guess it’s not a bigger disease.  Not looking for any sympathy, really.  I’m just what a person would call pissed off.  Rightfully so.  It sneaks up on you when you don’t have time, when you have stuff to do… like a business to run, a family to take care of..you know life.  It has no respect.  It doesn’t give you a warning when you are about to have a flare up.  You just walk around life avoiding sick people because you know you have this autoimmune disease that loves to lower your ability to fight off illness blah blah blah.

Oh but today.  I’M PISSED OFF. (more…)

The Best Vegan Brownie Recipe Ever

Heyyyyyyyyy….When it comes to Brownies, they need to be soft…a little fluffy.. but oooeeeyyy goooeeeyyyy…with a little crunch right?  So, as a Vegan.. I needed all of those things to exist….. in one Brownie.. and I think we’ve got it!

The recipe is simple.   The ingredients can all be purchased at your local store.  It doesn’t take too much brain power, just some great mixin and stirring skills! LOL!

Be prepared to be amazed and, Thank God for this recipe! 

Did you see us on Fox 2 Detroit making these Dunkin Peppermint Mocha Latte Brownies?  Check it out here

and until next time….

May your tastebuds be…. #ForeverSatisfied!

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!!!!

Veggie of the Month: Tumeric by Savannah Grace Carter

August is Turmerific!Hello family! Welcome to our new plant of the month blog series! My name is Savannah Grace. I am a 9 year old girl who lives in North Carolina with my mom and spends summers in Michigan with my dad. I love to read fiction books and write short stories. I draw pictures of animals in my spare time, my favorite color is magenta and I think eating healthy is important! I am also proud to say I am Auntie Que’s niece! One day while visiting Auntie Que's business, The Kitchen, I thought it would be cool for her to have a plant of the month for her store. She loved the idea and told me that I should write a blog. It was our idea to start this blog series about a new plant every month. I am happy to announce that the plant of the month for July is turmeric! Turmeric’s scientific name is Curcuma longa. I think that is so cool! I will use the 4-1-1 to share my excitement about turmeric. That is 4 fun facts about turmeric, one surprising fact, and my favorite fact!4 Fun Facts About Turmeric -Turmeric has more than 50 types of use! This includes tea, skin uses, spices, soups, and more!-Turmeric has the potential to help prevent heart diseases, cancer and Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is a very bad disease. It destroys memory and brain cells.-Turmeric is also referred to as roots and Indian saffron.  It was found in New Deli in the time period of B.C.-Turmeric is a yellow-ish powder and it has helped some people to lose weight1 Thing That May Surprise You About Turmeric:Too much turmeric can cause stomach aches, nausea, dizziness, and bathroom trips. Also the first 'r' in Turmeric is silent. That sure fooled me at first. 1 Thing I Love About Turmeric:My favorite thing about turmeric is how it is used as a ceremonial plant in Asia. Turmeric is a very important part of their culture. It is also identified as the Golden Spice! This is Savannah Grace saying thanks for hearing me out.  See ya next month!
