Quick Update

Hi Family,

It has been OFF THE CHAIN!  We just went into our fourth week of being open and it has been amazing!  Like  soo amazing.  Let me be honest though. The work is real.  I've been doing Live Demonstrations, for over 4 years now.  Running a new brick and mortar, that we've decided to offer healthy lunch to our community is a whole nothing situation.  I know everyone thing that social media tells the real story.. THAT IS A LIE! No one sees the hard work, the long late hours, the crying, the wondering if you are doing things right, the falling forward.  None of that. It's legit HARD WORK!

I didn't tell anyone I quit my dream day job on May third, and it got real.....REAL QUICK.  But you all know how I roll, if God tells me to go, I'm running. I'm not asking any questions I'm out (and we all know how much I loved my job...okay!!!)     Surely, God has something else in store for me.  There has been learning curves, hiccups and whatever else you want to call it.  but...IT IS WORTH IT!  YOU HEAR ME SAINTS!!! IT'S WORTH IT!
WHAT'S COOKING?
Classes start next wee, and for the last month, we have been serving up lunch from 11-2pm.  We have a wonderful ever changing menu, but there is always smoothies, salads, and sandwiches. Every Friday we are hosting an event called the Afterwork Wine Down, where you can enjoy your bottle, and our healthy cuisine.  Starting in July... get ready for our monthly Chef Battle, and Kitchen Karaoke (info coming soon).

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

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!

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.
