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!!!!

Meal Preps Are Here! Are you Ready?

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.

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

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?

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…)

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.
