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.

Hey Family!!!

I pray that you all are in great health or healing Godspeed!  At Cooking with Que & The Kitchen by Cooking with Que, the health and safety of our entire community is our top priority. Today we’re sharing a number of updates with our clients about new health and safety guidelines related to COVID-19 as well as features available on the Cooking with Que site.

We’re working closely with national and local authorities as well as a panel of health and safety experts to actively monitor the situation and ensure we’re operating safely with minimal disruption to service. Just know what are taking appropriate precautions to safely deliver your items. All Meal Prep Items will now be in completely disposable recyclable containers until we are in the clear.  Thank you to everyone who has been apart of us saving the planet thus far by returning recycled containers, but for the safety of our community we will be using completely disposable recyclable containers.

Meal Preps Are Here! Are you Ready?

Published on | in Meal Prep, Quick Update By

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.

Veggie of the Month: Tumeric by Savannah Grace Carter

Published on | in Blog, Books, Healthy, How To, Juicing, News, Tips, Veggie of the Month By

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!

 

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?

A good Crusty Peach Cobbler with less hassle and heartburn!

So this is the quickest peach cobbler you will ever make, because THAT'S WHAT I DO! I try to make some of your favorite down home recipes taste amazing but I'm obsessed with making sure my family lives happier healthier lifestyles! So I want you to be able to pronounce what you are actually cooking!

Now, in our family the best part is.....HAVING A GOOD CRUST TO PEACH RATIO!  We loveeeeee the crust.   Do you hear me?  What I don't have, is a lot of time to make my crust from scratch so I found the next best thing.... Pilsbury Pie Crusts!  Did you know that they don't have any diary in them!!! Screams. (edited: I did learn that it is not vegan though, it has Lard, sooo I will give you a freakishly easy Pilsbury knock off crust recipe in the mean time)

One of these packages has 2 pie crust in it.  Perfect for a pie pan, and the other great thing is if you need to change the shape, you can roll them out on a board to become whatever you need.

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.

Now listen, I know I just did a Facebook live the other day, I posted it on Youtube for all of the Saints and Aints’ that don’t have Facebook.  Go Watch it! No Joke! It gives you all the information that you need about this healthy drink.

This is Apple, Beetroot, and Carrot Juice.

Very simple recipe but power packed! If you want to see the recipe, check it out here!

For those who don't know my Husband deals with pulmonary embolisms.  There are hereditary, and the blood clots that usually form in the limbs and then travel to places that you don't want them to go.  They are painful and uncomfortable  as they travel.  When you are diagnosed with them the usual treatment is taking blood thinners, so that the blood clots will break up, and also as a preventative way to stop them from occurring.  What we wanted to do was to find a natural way to break the blood clots down as well.  So we put together this drink as a natural blood thinner for my Hubby.

Now, ABC represents, Apple, Beetroot, and Carrot and in trying to create this natural blood thinner, we found out that it has soooooo many benefits. Literally this drink will flush all the unwanted toxins out of your body. Let's look at some of the research I found.

We made Apple Pancakes on Fox 2! | Recipe Inside

Oh my Gravy and Mash Potatoes!  We were on Fox 2 Again!  This time we made Apple Pancakes and they were a hit!  I will say, we bought all natural pancake mix from our local grocery store, Kroger to be exact.  The brand was Log Cabin, because their ingredients were simple.  We followed the recipe on the back, but instead of using Eggs and Milk, we made it Vegan by using a Non- Dairy Milk, like Soy Milk or Almond Milk, and Olive oil instead of Eggs.

To top it off, instead of using regular syrup, we cut the calories by just drizzling agave on top!  These pancakes were from HEAVEN!  They taste soooo good!  You have to try it!

Well, Check out our Fox 2 clip below, and of course I threw in the recipe too!
