Today we met on Facebook and Instagram for some Virtual Positivity and Hugs 🙂

It seems like there is so much negativity out there that we are missing out on finding the positive.  So… we talked some of the positives out.

For example:

  1. You woke up
  2. You have lights
  3. You can breathe
  4. You can shower
  5. You can Brush your Teeth
  6. Pancakes?  Yes you can make them lol (here’s a recipe)

We also came up with a plan, to save everyone from their Quarantine Boredom… Enjoyyyyyyy life!  Your Family! and Stay Positive!

Now…we all need order so I figured we could have things to do daily, that will keep us in good health, and positive! (more…)

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!

Garlic can Improve your Life

Garlic: Life Changing

I love garlic with my whole heart, but sometimes I think people think I just eat it because of that.  Listen Saints and Aint's ....I'm gonna tell you some quick benefits of garlic that will change your outlook of it.  Some people won't eat it because, it makes their breath smell... well, I just want you to pack mints because you're gonna ask for extra after this, and since we are chatting ... I may as well give you a garlic recipe. ( Shout out to the persistent family member that forced me to get better and put it on the site, I really love your face)

1. Hair loss issues / Dandruff ?
Garlic has high levels of allicin, which is a surfer.. similar to what is found in onions, but it's used to treat hair loss, and assist with ridding yourself of dandruff.  You can rub slices on your scalp squeezing as you go, or you can infuse your favorite oil and massage it onto your scalp

2. Acne?
Yep it can help there too, it's a natural way to heal blemishes, and rub a slice on a pimple for an all natural topical treatment, it's antioxidants kills bacteria (whoop whoop)

3. Colds (preventative, and treatments for colds)
You hear it!  It's loaded with antioxidants you can steep garlic in water, to make a garlic tea (I know, just add agave to make it taste better.. but look do you want to feel better or nah?). Eating a daily dose of garlic boosts your immune system!

Late Lent Starters?

Published on | in Uncategorized By

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?

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.

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!

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!!

Don’t be left Hungry at the Dinner table this Easter!

Happy Easter Weekend Fam!

I'm shooting you a quick note to say don't be hungry at the dinner table this year.  Just because you are vegan, or making a lifestyle change by eating better.  Take this advice, the 7 P's.  

Prior Proper Planning, Prevents Piss Poor Performance!

Make a meal for yourself to take with you.  I do this all the time. I travel with food so that I'm not sitting around watching everyone else eat.  I know that I have dietary restrictions, and I can't put my restrictions on everyone else. I'm vegan, and I'm allergic to dairy. That doesn't mean I can't eat.   Follow the 7 P's and prep food to take with you, and make enough to share.  You could change someone elses outlook on eating better.
