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.

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!!!!

Late Lent Starters?

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’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.

Que’s Favorite Holiday Cocktail | Champagne and St. Germain

Happy Day Family!

I totally have to share my favorite holiday cocktail!  The most simple drink with the greatest flavor ever!  Its really nice and light!  I love dry champagne because it has the lowest carbs ever, it's not too sweet, and its nice and bubbly! My favorite champagne is Veuve Clicquot, but when you are balling on a budget, any dry champagne will do!  To take our celebration to the next level, I wanted to add a simple fruit like a raspberry, or a blueberry to the bottom of the flute, and to make it a more floral tasting and aromatic, I added St Germain, which is an elderflower liquor. Oh my gravy and mash potatoes!  When you taste this it's going to make your life so happy!

All Drinks are not Created Equal!

Be Mindful of your drinking this holiday season.  Don’t over do it with all those secret sugars, hidden in juices and all those pretty drinks.  Just because it’s pretty and festive doesn’t mean it’s Vegan either! Whatttttttt!!! (I know that’s what you’re thinking!)  It’s totally fine, I thought the same thing, and we all know what happened after that… I rannnnnnnnn too……(wait for it)…...GOOGLE! LOL!

What do you mean Vegan Alcohol?

Vegans don’t eat anything with a Momma (my 2 yr old thought process).  If it’s got a Momma we won’t eat it.  That rule applies to everything.  So when creating holiday drinks, I have to check the options, for wine, liquor … everything.  Did you know there was a site you can visit that will  let you check to see if it’s vegan? (more…)

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.

Cooking with Que’s ABC Juice

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.
