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!

Cravings! What is your Body telling you?

The most asked question in the last 2 months has been about Snacks. So I wanted to talk to you all about it. My Meal Preps with Cooking with Que fam has been at it for 4 weeks strong now, they get Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, but they have to drink a glass a water with each meal. Meal prep I great, but what happens when you want to snack in between. Some times we Stress Eat, Some time we just wanna stuff our faces.. I’m just speaking for myself (side eyes) lol. So I’m going to give you my honest snacking options.

1. Know why you are snacking? Are you really hungry? or Nah?

2. If you are genuinely hungry… has there been any changes in your diet, activity etc.

3. Pay attention to what you are craving, because usually what we crave is what our body is lacking.

Ok… Lets look at some things we CRAVE!

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!

 

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!!
