00:00:52.33\00:00:56.00
Okay, now, it has some
ingredients that people
00:00:56.50\00:00:59.10
may not be familiar
with. Yes, yes, yes, yes and.
00:00:59.10\00:01:01.83
And maybe we
will talk about that
00:01:01.83\00:01:03.23
when we get to that we
get to that ingredient.
00:01:03.23\00:01:04.63
As we get to them because, okay,
00:01:04.63\00:01:06.03
a lot of people love
lasagna. That's right.
00:01:06.03\00:01:08.03
Or you said lasagna, lasagna,
00:01:08.03\00:01:09.66
they love lasagna and
you know, we're, we're making
00:01:09.66\00:01:12.10
the healthy
lasagna because we've got
00:01:12.10\00:01:13.53
a lot of good
healthy things here.
00:01:13.53\00:01:15.06
Number one I'm gonna go ahead
on and put in the olive oil,
00:01:15.80\00:01:18.40
okay, until I get started.
00:01:18.40\00:01:20.40
And talk about
cholesterol again,
00:01:20.83\00:01:23.06
we want the oil that has,
00:01:23.06\00:01:24.96
the highest amount
of mono unsaturated,
00:01:26.16\00:01:29.43
absolutely, and olive
oil has that 77 percent,
00:01:29.43\00:01:32.66
has that in it,
yes. And oil that has
00:01:32.66\00:01:34.20
the least
amount of saturated fat
00:01:34.20\00:01:36.03
and of course that's canola
oil has six percent and so,
00:01:36.03\00:01:38.23
yeah, those are two type oils in
00:01:38.23\00:01:39.63
that type of
one's. The two types ones
00:01:39.63\00:01:41.03
and then I'm gonna
be putting in there also
00:01:41.03\00:01:42.53
fresh garlic, fresh
garlic, and also my onion,
00:01:42.93\00:01:46.03
this is two garlic's, okay, okay
00:01:46.03\00:01:49.30
and get all the goodies out,
00:01:49.30\00:01:50.70
why don't you go
ahead and put the
00:01:50.70\00:01:52.10
onions in there, we have the
00:01:52.10\00:01:53.50
medium onion going in as well.
00:01:53.50\00:01:55.06
And both of these are
cholesterol fighters as well.
00:01:55.06\00:01:57.53
Absolutely,
absolutely, yes all the,
00:01:57.53\00:01:59.73
get all the
goodies in, there we go,
00:01:59.73\00:02:02.63
and then I have I
said, your spaghetti sauce
00:02:03.06\00:02:07.16
and then on top of
that I said add the water,
00:02:07.60\00:02:09.50
so we're gonna
go ahead and put in,
00:02:09.50\00:02:10.90
I have already got already
in my container mixed up.
00:02:10.90\00:02:12.90
I'm gonna go
ahead on and this is
00:02:12.90\00:02:16.33
sautéed enough,
you want to burn the
00:02:16.33\00:02:18.43
garlic. So you
wanna make sure you keep
00:02:19.36\00:02:20.93
a control on what's going on
00:02:20.93\00:02:22.56
and all this is going
inside that lasagna, okay.
00:02:22.56\00:02:25.03
This is the chunky style,
00:02:25.46\00:02:27.00
chunky style, it has zucchini,
00:02:27.00\00:02:29.13
carrot pieces, and everything,
00:02:29.13\00:02:30.96
Oh! Everything, yeah,
Oh! Everything is already
00:02:30.96\00:02:32.80
in there, right, okay. Okay,
00:02:32.80\00:02:35.43
all of this is going in
and I'm gonna go ahead and
00:02:35.43\00:02:38.60
put in also the
Italian seasoning, okay.
00:02:38.60\00:02:42.93
Alright and then I would like to
00:02:43.53\00:02:47.13
just get this
stirred up a little bit,
00:02:47.13\00:02:48.60
there is once
again the whole thing
00:02:49.20\00:02:50.60
is going to
cook, when we actually
00:02:50.60\00:02:52.13
put the lasagna together.
00:02:52.13\00:02:53.63
Now, Curtis you have over here,
00:02:53.63\00:02:55.13
this is the
extra firm tofu, okay,
00:02:55.60\00:02:58.56
we're using in the
place curd as cheese,
00:02:58.56\00:03:00.30
alright and also he is adding
00:03:00.30\00:03:01.90
a chicken style seasoning,
00:03:01.90\00:03:03.30
which is not a
regular chicken seasoning,
00:03:03.30\00:03:06.40
okay, it's a mock vegetarian
00:03:06.40\00:03:08.33
type of seasoning,
00:03:08.33\00:03:09.73
it's looks like
mimics that of chicken,
00:03:09.73\00:03:11.13
you also have a
beef flavor as well.
00:03:11.13\00:03:12.53
So go ahead and
put that no beef...
00:03:12.53\00:03:14.06
Go ahead and put
that in Curtis, alright,
00:03:14.06\00:03:16.46
chicken style seasoning
and then you're gonna also
00:03:16.46\00:03:19.16
add into that
the parsley, parsley,
00:03:19.16\00:03:21.13
and then we also
have a little bit of salt
00:03:21.60\00:03:24.10
and then rest
of is onion powder,
00:03:24.10\00:03:26.70
okay, okay, all
those they're gonna go
00:03:26.70\00:03:28.73
together once again as well.
00:03:28.73\00:03:31.50
I like this
recipe because you know,
00:03:32.00\00:03:34.20
one of the things that happened,
00:03:34.20\00:03:35.60
when I was trying
to make this switches
00:03:35.60\00:03:37.00
changing over our diet and,
00:03:37.00\00:03:38.53
and still trying
to get food items
00:03:38.53\00:03:41.83
and then I will
prepare that look like,
00:03:41.83\00:03:43.66
the real thing
then what I discover
00:03:44.20\00:03:46.33
is that you can still do that,
00:03:46.33\00:03:49.36
you can still switch
over, all you have to do is know
00:03:49.36\00:03:51.83
what ingredients are
used that at what time.
00:03:51.83\00:03:53.80
So this tofu takes the
place of cottage cheese
00:03:53.80\00:03:55.16
and we're also gonna be
using another ground beef,
00:03:57.73\00:04:00.63
which is a mock beef
crumble that we're using
00:04:00.63\00:04:03.56
as well in this product,
00:04:03.56\00:04:05.10
along with that
then I like to stir it
00:04:05.10\00:04:07.43
around little bit
there and get itself ready.
00:04:07.43\00:04:09.63
So, now this is a
cholesterol free dish.
00:04:10.23\00:04:14.20
That's right and
this is gonna really
00:04:14.63\00:04:18.16
be something fantastic, okay,
00:04:18.16\00:04:19.80
Curtis as well. Now,
in addition to that we're
00:04:19.80\00:04:21.73
also using the vegan
parmesan alternatives.
00:04:21.73\00:04:25.60
That's right, that's
right, again people can get
00:04:25.60\00:04:27.23
this at any grocery store,
00:04:27.23\00:04:29.63
yeah, yeah, not
necessary at a health food store
00:04:30.10\00:04:31.93
they can get
that and again this is
00:04:32.36\00:04:34.10
also good for the kidneys,
00:04:34.10\00:04:36.23
because the
regular cheese is going to
00:04:36.23\00:04:37.63
stress out the
kidneys and the kidneys not
00:04:37.63\00:04:39.63
working properly the
blood pressure can go up
00:04:39.63\00:04:41.33
and also we're
talking about blood pressure
00:04:41.93\00:04:43.83
and also cholesterol as well,
00:04:43.83\00:04:45.23
getting those
numbers in the normal range.
00:04:45.23\00:04:47.13
Get them in normal, normal range
00:04:47.13\00:04:48.66
is the name of the game
and also using recipes that
00:04:48.66\00:04:52.13
look like those that mimic that
00:04:52.13\00:04:53.53
people are used to eating,
00:04:53.53\00:04:54.93
that's one other things we
really enjoy doing as well,
00:04:54.93\00:04:57.26
okay, and
lasagna is one of them,
00:04:57.26\00:04:58.66
that's right, so at this point
00:04:58.66\00:05:00.06
what I'm gonna to
do is I'm gonna start
00:05:00.06\00:05:01.70
getting things
ready for this lasagna,
00:05:01.70\00:05:04.73
I am gonna just
start up by putting
00:05:04.73\00:05:06.13
into our dish some
of the sauce, okay,
00:05:06.13\00:05:09.83
okay now I have
already pre done the noodles.
00:05:09.83\00:05:11.26
Now, these noodles
are different also Curtis,
00:05:11.26\00:05:13.00
yeah, because these noodles are
00:05:13.00\00:05:15.26
Whole wheat
noodles. Oh! Whole wheat.
00:05:15.26\00:05:17.90
Not the regular
enriched like noodles.
00:05:17.90\00:05:19.30
You can get these,
00:05:19.30\00:05:20.70
at the regular
grocery store once again,
00:05:20.70\00:05:22.13
a regular grocery
store, yes, there.
00:05:22.13\00:05:23.53
Wal-Mart grocery store
are, now having a more healthier
00:05:23.53\00:05:26.16
options as far as whole wheat.
00:05:26.86\00:05:28.63
Whole wheat is considered,
plant based, yes, yes, mock,
00:05:30.50\00:05:32.63
now I have already pre-done
00:05:33.10\00:05:34.76
the noodles, so they
are already ready to go,
00:05:34.76\00:05:36.46
and we're just gonna
taken lay them in here
00:05:36.86\00:05:39.23
and usually one is
9 x 13 glass dishes
00:05:39.66\00:05:42.23
take about at least 9
of the noodles itself,
00:05:42.23\00:05:45.73
okay. So, they
are already cooked.
00:05:45.73\00:05:47.23
They are already
been pre-cooked, okay,
00:05:47.23\00:05:49.00
okay and then
we're gonna go ahead and
00:05:49.00\00:05:50.43
put in at least
half of the ground beef.
00:05:50.43\00:05:52.96
Now, you use
different types of mock ground
00:05:52.96\00:05:55.40
beef for different texture,
00:05:55.40\00:05:56.80
it just depends
on the texture, yeah.
00:05:56.80\00:05:58.30
It just depends on
the texture and you
00:05:58.30\00:05:59.70
have to experiment and try the
00:05:59.70\00:06:01.10
different ones you know,
00:06:01.10\00:06:02.50
you can get them from
any kind of a dry mixture
00:06:02.50\00:06:03.90
all the way up to one
that is already frozen
00:06:03.90\00:06:06.30
just depends on what their
00:06:06.30\00:06:07.70
preference is, okay, alright.
00:06:07.70\00:06:09.10
I'm gonna go ahead
and also in put in now
00:06:09.10\00:06:10.76
some of the at least half,
00:06:10.76\00:06:12.43
half of the... this
would be in place of the
00:06:12.43\00:06:14.60
Cottage cheese,
that's right, that people
00:06:14.60\00:06:16.00
would normally have,
that's right and again
00:06:16.00\00:06:17.40
this is cholesterol
free dish, cholesterol free,
00:06:17.40\00:06:19.50
cholesterol free, and
the cholesterol down, okay,
00:06:19.50\00:06:22.00
and it's soy based, so that
00:06:22.53\00:06:23.93
would be helpful as well, yes.
00:06:23.93\00:06:25.33
And it has a same
look, once again, yes,
00:06:25.33\00:06:27.60
also and this is a good
time also you can hide things
00:06:27.60\00:06:30.46
like spinach and if
you have family members
00:06:30.46\00:06:32.50
are don't want to
eat their veggies,
00:06:32.50\00:06:33.90
you can put the
spinach stuff as well and,
00:06:33.90\00:06:35.73
and zucchini, shredded
00:06:35.73\00:06:38.96
zucchini can go in
there also, Oh! Okay. As well,
00:06:38.96\00:06:40.36
all that inside,
I'm gonna just put
00:06:40.36\00:06:41.76
little bit of sauce.
So, you just gonna just
00:06:41.76\00:06:44.00
alternate the, alternate
matter of fact how about,
00:06:44.00\00:06:46.93
how about me letting
you do the next layer.
00:06:46.93\00:06:49.20
The next layer, now I'm gonna go
00:06:49.20\00:06:51.33
just the opposite or
what? Now, straight up and down,
00:06:51.33\00:06:53.26
Oh! It's the
same way, okay. Okay,
00:06:53.26\00:06:54.80
and I'm gonna turn
this fire off, okay,
00:06:54.80\00:06:56.96
three of them, alright, one, two
00:06:57.60\00:06:59.53
and the last one there.
00:06:59.53\00:07:01.20
And we're just
going to repeat people
00:07:01.73\00:07:03.13
we have already
done before, okay.
00:07:03.13\00:07:05.30
Go ahead and put on...
00:07:06.50\00:07:07.90

00:07:13.96\00:07:17.13
Alright, then
just move it around,
00:07:18.76\00:07:21.03
move around little bit.
00:07:21.03\00:07:22.40
We have this...

00:07:25.63\00:07:28.00

I will get

00:07:30.56\00:07:32.83

00:07:38.53\00:07:40.66
you want to go
ahead and take that
00:07:40.66\00:07:42.30
once again the crumbles,
00:07:42.30\00:07:44.20
okay, spread it around,
00:07:46.10\00:07:47.50
and then I will try to put that
00:07:47.50\00:07:48.90

give it a meaty
texture, yes, okay, nice.
00:07:55.70\00:07:59.10
Now, at this
point what I'm gonna do
00:07:59.10\00:08:00.70
is I want to take some
of the Parmesan alternative.
00:08:01.30\00:08:04.73
Oh! And I'm going to
sprinkle it on, okay, okay,
00:08:04.73\00:08:09.70
alright and then we're
going to put a little bit
00:08:10.26\00:08:11.66
more to sauce and
how are we looking at,
00:08:11.66\00:08:14.43
our time is
going, how is that going?
00:08:14.43\00:08:16.00
It's coming down the wire baby.
00:08:16.00\00:08:17.40
Okay, and you can
start closing it out.
00:08:17.86\00:08:21.00
What we're gonna do
00:08:21.00\00:08:22.40
is we're going to actually
put the next layer on and,
00:08:22.40\00:08:25.56
and it is real easy once again
00:08:25.56\00:08:26.96
the last layer is going on,
00:08:26.96\00:08:28.53
is I'm gonna put
that last layer on
00:08:28.53\00:08:30.36
and then I'm gonna put
out of the sauce over top
00:08:30.36\00:08:32.93
of it then we're
going to take and put
00:08:32.93\00:08:34.40
foil on it, put in
the oven at 350 degrees
00:08:34.40\00:08:38.80
we're gonna bake any
oven for 45 to 50 minutes.
00:08:38.80\00:08:41.46
So, if you will say bye,
00:08:41.90\00:08:43.40
