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.

Safely Delivering Your Meals: Catered or Meal Prep with Cooking with Que
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.

Introducing “Leave at My Door Delivery”
Next week, we are offering “Leave at My Door Delivery” feature to all customers, giving you more flexibility in how you want to receive your Meal Prep Orders. To use the new feature, simply select “Leave at My Door Delivery” as part of your delivery options at checkout. You’ll receive a photo confirmation once your Meal Prep order has been delivered.

Dining at The Kitchen by Cooking with Que
There is a reason why we are known as the cleanest Kitchen in the City of Detroit, because of our overly precautious cleaning methods.  Our goal is to teach our community how to eat to live, and we will continue to do so.

For the latest info on the precautions you can take, please visit the CDC’s website.

We are blessed to have you as members of the Cooking with Que community!!!

We Love You to Life!

Meal Preps Are Here! Are you Ready?

Published on | in Meal Prep, Quick Update By
4 Comments

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
0 Comments
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!

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).

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

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?

Que 🙂

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!

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.

Who’s Cooking for Christmas?

Published on | in Blog, Cooking, Holiday By

This is the question that the majority of the “Chefs” of the family hear!  It’s like.. did you really need to ask?  Ohhh ….. or are you being funny!  LOL!

It doesn’t even matter who’s house it’s at.  Everyone wants to know what I’m bringing!  My family used to be super petty and say, Quiana don’t bring none of that Vegan ish!   Now they don’t care, they just want to know that I’m cooking.  You know why… because no matter what I bring… they will eat it! #InJesusName!

This year I’m thinking about switching it up.  I just want something different.  I’m thinking Lasagna… maybe a pan for the Vegans and MeatEaters.  Doesn’t that sound yummy.  Honestly, I could be hungry right now, but that’s what I’m feeling right now!  For sides, I always want some greenage to go with pasta!  Maybe a Power Salad and Garlicky Green Beans for the win!  I’ll add some Portobello mushrooms to the green beans to sneak in more veggies in on the fam, but the taste of (more…)
