Well, we're
gonna be doing a recipe
00:00:01.06\00:00:02.60
that's also a low
calorie recipe. Low calorie.
00:00:02.63\00:00:04.67
Talk about that
exercise and inactivity,
00:00:04.70\00:00:06.66
well make sure that food
is matching that as well.
00:00:06.69\00:00:08.56
Oh, sounds good, honey.
Let's look at the actual recipe.
00:00:08.59\00:00:10.47
Okay.
00:00:10.50\00:00:11.53
Okay, this gonna be good.
00:00:37.99\00:00:39.86
Now this, it's a
good recipe, Curtis,
00:00:39.89\00:00:41.28
and it's easy to
fix and everything
00:00:41.31\00:00:42.93
so what's gonna
happen, I'm gonna go ahead
00:00:42.96\00:00:44.77
and just start
of by just putting
00:00:44.80\00:00:46.51
a little bit of my
sauce into my 9x13 glass dish
00:00:46.54\00:00:50.70
and I use about
maybe about almost a cup.
00:00:50.73\00:00:53.90
All right. Almost a cup. Okay.
00:00:53.93\00:00:55.15
Okay, we'll put it to the side,
00:00:55.18\00:00:56.38
because we now gonna
actually make the filling.
00:00:56.41\00:00:58.42
Now in the filling
this is extra firm tofu.
00:00:58.45\00:01:01.60
We're gonna use this in
the place of-in the place of--.
00:01:01.63\00:01:04.95
The cottage cheese.
00:01:04.98\00:01:06.01
The cottage
cheese, all right. Okay.
00:01:06.04\00:01:07.27
And I'm gonna do
is just mash it up.
00:01:07.30\00:01:08.79
Now extra firm, again with
different textures is firm,
00:01:08.82\00:01:11.68
extra firm this also.
00:01:11.71\00:01:12.89
It need to be
extra firm for this one.
00:01:12.92\00:01:14.19
Well, I like to
use the extra firm,
00:01:14.22\00:01:16.21
you know, you can use
that firm also as well
00:01:16.24\00:01:19.09
but I like to use the
extra firm on this one, okay.
00:01:19.12\00:01:21.15
Has a better texture.
00:01:21.18\00:01:22.53
Yeah, because it's got to
look like either cottage cheese
00:01:22.56\00:01:25.47
or it has to look
like the ricotta. Okay.
00:01:25.50\00:01:28.63
Okay. All right.
00:01:28.66\00:01:29.69
That's the name of the
game because, you know,
00:01:29.72\00:01:30.93
remember now, we're actually
00:01:30.96\00:01:32.06
cutting the
calories down on this one
00:01:32.09\00:01:33.74
and so with that in mind,
00:01:33.77\00:01:35.36
I want to--I'm gonna
just mash it little bit more.
00:01:35.39\00:01:37.35
So we don't need to exercise
and then eat a fattening food.
00:01:37.38\00:01:39.93
No, we don't. No, we don't.
00:01:39.96\00:01:40.99
Okay, now let's go ahead on
00:01:41.02\00:01:42.60
and put in here the
other ingredients, okay.
00:01:42.63\00:01:44.95
But I want you to put in,
00:01:44.98\00:01:46.26
we're gonna put in
our Italian seasoning.
00:01:46.29\00:01:48.70
This is Italian seasoning, okay.
00:01:48.73\00:01:50.96
Okay, and you know
instead of Italian,
00:01:50.99\00:01:52.68
you can always use
parsley as well. Oh, okay.
00:01:52.71\00:01:54.46
Okay, we're gonna put the onion
powder and the garlic powder.
00:01:54.49\00:01:56.82
Okay, and now one of this is --
00:01:56.85\00:01:58.09
Onion, that's
onion. That's onion.
00:01:58.12\00:01:59.80
And that's
garlic. And that's garlic.
00:01:59.83\00:02:01.01
And this is garlic, okay.
00:02:01.04\00:02:02.28
Let's get all the
goodies out. Okay.
00:02:02.31\00:02:06.14
And we got a onion
00:02:06.17\00:02:07.55
and then we get all
the goodies out, okay.
00:02:07.58\00:02:09.15
We didn't get no goodies out.
00:02:09.18\00:02:10.50
They just don't
want to come out at all.
00:02:10.53\00:02:12.06
Okay, there we go.
Okay, let stir it around here.
00:02:12.09\00:02:16.97
Okay and this
well, really what makes
00:02:17.00\00:02:19.35
the seasoning for this well.
00:02:19.38\00:02:21.07
So now tofu is bland
00:02:21.10\00:02:22.30
but it just
absorb the flavors of--
00:02:22.33\00:02:24.32
Whatever it's
next to, it picks up.
00:02:24.35\00:02:26.17
It just snaps it up. Absolutely.
00:02:26.20\00:02:28.14
Now let's go ahead on
and put in now the salt,
00:02:28.17\00:02:30.14
just go ahead and
sprinkle that salt in.
00:02:30.17\00:02:31.81
Okay. Okay.
00:02:31.84\00:02:33.92
Will give that flavor
we need to have for that.
00:02:33.95\00:02:35.80
I can smell it now.
00:02:35.83\00:02:36.86
Oh, don't smell
good, that's not good.
00:02:36.89\00:02:38.45
Now I'm gonna put
in, I want to just put in
00:02:38.48\00:02:40.76
a little bit just
half of that parmesan,
00:02:40.79\00:02:42.96
this is the vegan
parmesan alternative,
00:02:42.99\00:02:46.10
okay, all right. Okay. And
we're going to stir that in.
00:02:46.13\00:02:48.44
So now the last you're
gonna put it on top on.
00:02:48.47\00:02:50.39
On top, okay. So--
00:02:50.42\00:02:52.54
And they can get the
vegan parmesan alternative
00:02:52.57\00:02:55.49
at regular grocery store.
00:02:55.52\00:02:57.07
Yes, they are selling it now,
00:02:57.10\00:02:58.39
they're selling it now in
the regularly grocery store.
00:02:58.42\00:03:00.12
Yes, we prefer over
the regular parmesan
00:03:00.15\00:03:02.58
because this
doesn't have the calorie,
00:03:02.61\00:03:04.70
it doesn't have
the saturate fat,
00:03:04.73\00:03:05.77
it doesn't have the cholesterol.
00:03:05.80\00:03:06.83
That's right.
That's the bottom-line.
00:03:06.86\00:03:08.10
Now, guess what?
00:03:08.13\00:03:09.27
We already did
our manicotti shells,
00:03:09.30\00:03:11.22
we have already cooked them
00:03:11.25\00:03:12.28
for about at
least seven minutes,
00:03:12.31\00:03:13.73
because we're gonna
actually fill these, you know.
00:03:13.76\00:03:15.67
I'm gonna back in the
day when you would dry
00:03:15.70\00:03:17.43
and I was trying to do them
00:03:17.46\00:03:18.49
when you would
try and fill them up,
00:03:18.52\00:03:19.55
what happens the
inside will shrink
00:03:19.58\00:03:21.00
as it cooks in the oven. Oh.
00:03:21.03\00:03:22.42
So now we're
gonna do it that way,
00:03:22.45\00:03:23.48
that I got something new,
00:03:23.51\00:03:24.67
that I'm gonna
be doing two covers,
00:03:24.70\00:03:25.88
that is we gonna put this.
00:03:25.91\00:03:27.26
I mean, one say, how do you
get that inside those shells.
00:03:27.29\00:03:30.14
Yeah, how do you do
it. So what we're gonna do.
00:03:30.17\00:03:31.37
We're gonna take a big spoon
00:03:31.40\00:03:33.79
and we're just gonna put this
mixture right on in this bag.
00:03:33.82\00:03:38.08
But I thought we're supposed
to put it inside the shell.
00:03:38.11\00:03:40.09
We are. Oh.
00:03:40.12\00:03:41.44
I'm just gonna do a few of them,
00:03:41.47\00:03:42.50
so you can get a
chance to see this live. Okay.
00:03:42.53\00:03:44.81
And then once we do that,
00:03:44.84\00:03:46.81
we're gonna actually
just close the shell up
00:03:46.84\00:03:49.06
and we're make a
little itty-bitty cut
00:03:49.09\00:03:50.83
in the bottom of the bag
right here. Right into there.
00:03:50.86\00:03:54.26
I did do when we
decorate cakes, all right.
00:03:54.29\00:03:56.19
That's right. Okay.
00:03:56.22\00:03:57.68
And then all we're
gonna do is take our shell
00:03:57.71\00:04:00.25
and we're going to.
00:04:00.28\00:04:02.94
Oh, and just
squeeze it, going inside.
00:04:02.97\00:04:04.62
Oh, look at that. Wow.
00:04:04.65\00:04:07.94
So we filled it
up. You are so smart.
00:04:07.97\00:04:10.70
Well not-- You think, I
would ever be as smart as you.
00:04:10.73\00:04:12.39
No, there's
nothing smart as that.
00:04:12.42\00:04:14.45
I study and look
it at lot of the stuff
00:04:14.48\00:04:16.56
and see what my other
cooks are there doing.
00:04:16.59\00:04:19.08
And so, you
know, I mean, I'm like,
00:04:19.11\00:04:20.43
okay, that looks good to
me, that looks good to me.
00:04:20.46\00:04:22.86
I mean why struggle try to
put that oil in there. Okay.
00:04:22.89\00:04:25.81
If you would take that
for me and just take a spatula
00:04:25.84\00:04:28.14
and just kind of
move around a little bit,
00:04:28.17\00:04:29.25
little lightly
there and we're gonna sit
00:04:29.28\00:04:30.93
our first shell
down in there. All right.
00:04:30.96\00:04:34.80
I'll put little
bit more in there.
00:04:34.83\00:04:36.76
Fill it up, fill it up.
00:04:36.79\00:04:38.82
Okay, the tricks of the
trade. Tricks of the trade.
00:04:38.85\00:04:42.66
And then we're gonna
adjust, that's enough.
00:04:42.69\00:04:44.88
We're just gonna lay it down.
00:04:44.91\00:04:47.39
Okay. All right. Very good.
00:04:47.42\00:04:49.40
All right, I want to do another
one there, open it up. Okay.
00:04:49.43\00:04:52.40
Squeeze it,
squeeze it, squeeze it.
00:04:52.43\00:04:55.36
That is so easy to do.
00:04:55.39\00:04:58.44
Okay, you think
it is easy to do.
00:04:58.47\00:05:00.73
I mean, okay, I
know what's next.
00:05:00.76\00:05:03.66
Because I want
to do the third one.
00:05:03.69\00:05:05.01
Oh, oh. Okay. All right.
00:05:05.04\00:05:07.39
But you know, what
you're doing so far,
00:05:07.42\00:05:08.77
I mean let just, you
know, keep doing that, honey.
00:05:08.80\00:05:11.86
You don't want
to try that at all.
00:05:11.89\00:05:12.99
Okay, let's-- I'll do it.
00:05:13.02\00:05:14.82
You want to try
one? Yes, I will try one.
00:05:14.85\00:05:16.88
Okay, let me give you something,
let me give you little--
00:05:16.91\00:05:18.25
Little bit more. Okay.
00:05:18.28\00:05:19.69
Now be careful that
you don't wind up having,
00:05:19.72\00:05:23.87
it's good, yeah, you put
your finger at the end here.
00:05:23.90\00:05:25.72
Oh, okay. Okay.
00:05:25.75\00:05:26.78
So, it won't come out. You
want me to help you with it?
00:05:26.81\00:05:28.34
I think I got it. All right.
00:05:28.37\00:05:29.72
Now you don't do
that and you're going
00:05:29.75\00:05:31.35
to squeeze it
down in there. Okay.
00:05:31.38\00:05:33.37
Squeeze it. You know what?
00:05:33.40\00:05:35.36
Push it, there
you go. All right.
00:05:35.39\00:05:38.41
Hey look at you,
look at you. Okay. Yeah.
00:05:38.44\00:05:41.56
I think I'm doing little
bit better than you, honey.
00:05:41.59\00:05:43.22
I doubt that
seriously let's go ahead down
00:05:43.25\00:05:44.83
the other side there. Yeah.
00:05:44.86\00:05:46.67
And hold your finger there.
Hold one finger there. Okay.
00:05:46.70\00:05:51.75
I'm working so much, honey.
00:05:51.78\00:05:53.08
I'm working with
someone handicapped,
00:05:53.11\00:05:54.39
you know, what I mean.
00:05:54.42\00:05:55.45
You can do it, you can
do it, you can do it. Yeah.
00:05:55.48\00:05:57.05
Squeeze it. Okay.
00:05:57.08\00:05:58.72
Help me out,
honey. There you go.
00:05:58.75\00:06:01.43
Squeeze it. Oh, yeah.
00:06:01.46\00:06:04.71
Well, I'm not
gonna be meeting it.
00:06:04.74\00:06:06.48
There you go.
All right. See that?
00:06:06.51\00:06:08.62
Yeah. Yeah. All right.
00:06:08.65\00:06:10.58
And so what you're gonna do is,
you're just gonna fill them up.
00:06:10.61\00:06:13.56
I got to pad them on
the sides there. Yeah.
00:06:13.59\00:06:15.94
Okay, and then you
set it on the tray.
00:06:15.97\00:06:19.11
And because of
course for time sake
00:06:19.14\00:06:21.53
we've already finished this
00:06:21.56\00:06:22.59
and you're gonna see
at the end of the program,
00:06:22.62\00:06:24.12
because I want to go
to the very next one.
00:06:24.15\00:06:25.67
We're gonna actually just
pour our sauce over top of that,
00:06:25.70\00:06:28.06
little parmesan
on top, 350 degrees
00:06:28.09\00:06:30.64
we're gonna go in the oven
00:06:30.67\00:06:32.21
is gonna have the foil
over top of it at first
00:06:32.24\00:06:34.66
and then we're gonna take it off
00:06:34.69\00:06:36.05
and let it
actually just sit there
00:06:36.08\00:06:38.05
for another ten minutes or so
00:06:38.08\00:06:39.79
and it's gonna be nice
and tender and ready to go.
00:06:39.82\00:06:41.74
But let's go to our next
recipe which is mini herb bread.
00:06:41.77\00:06:47.05
And this is a
simple and a very easy one.
00:07:01.55\00:07:03.48
And it's so
good, so good, so good.
00:07:03.51\00:07:05.61
Basically this
is our herbal bread
00:07:05.64\00:07:07.18
and what you're gonna do
for me is before we brush it on,
00:07:07.21\00:07:11.55
I have couple of things here,
00:07:11.58\00:07:13.82
number one, is that
I have my thyme. Okay.
00:07:13.85\00:07:16.71
And also have my rosemary. Oh.
00:07:16.74\00:07:18.68
And you're gonna
actually just take
00:07:18.71\00:07:19.74
the little pieces of
rosemary and you're going
00:07:19.77\00:07:21.78
to just put them
in there for me. Okay.
00:07:21.81\00:07:24.01
And while you're doing that,
00:07:24.04\00:07:25.12
first thyme, it
smell good. Oh, yes.
00:07:25.15\00:07:26.89
And while you're doing
that, I'm gonna take the thyme.
00:07:26.92\00:07:30.68
Okay. And--
00:07:30.71\00:07:32.31
It's a thyme or thyme.
Depending on where you live.
00:07:32.34\00:07:35.78
Okay, we live in a
South, so, what would it be?
00:07:35.81\00:07:38.88
I don't-- Good.
00:07:38.91\00:07:42.73
That was not your
house, so that's what--
00:07:42.76\00:07:44.70
What would it
be, what would it be?
00:07:44.73\00:07:46.18
I don't know, honey.
Okay, you be careful.
00:07:46.21\00:07:47.98
Okay. Be careful.
00:07:48.01\00:07:49.17
So we're just
gonna put that in there.
00:07:49.20\00:07:50.23
Well, today it's
gonna be thyme. Okay.
00:07:50.26\00:07:52.43
Yeah. And it smells good.
00:07:52.46\00:07:53.57
Yes, it does. We're
gonna put that in there.
00:07:53.60\00:07:56.33
Just probably to a
tablespoon of each one of those.
00:07:56.36\00:07:59.31
This is very fresh.
00:07:59.34\00:08:00.37
This is what makes it
really, really, really.
00:08:00.40\00:08:03.52
Now we can--I can put
the stem, right? Just to--
00:08:03.55\00:08:05.58
No, not the stem. Okay.
00:08:05.68\00:08:06.71
You want to smell?
There's too much fiber.
00:08:06.74\00:08:08.10
Do you smell it?
That smells so wonderful.
00:08:08.13\00:08:09.94
They're gonna
email us? Yeah, no.
00:08:09.97\00:08:12.79
Oh, what this is smeller dish.
00:08:12.82\00:08:13.85
One time a guy
called and he said I wish--
00:08:13.88\00:08:15.89
he said when you
all start there cooking
00:08:15.92\00:08:17.20
I just really want to just
go get me something to eat.
00:08:17.23\00:08:19.98
You know what I'm saying.
00:08:20.01\00:08:21.04
Okay, we're gonna actually
cut this on a slant, okay.
00:08:21.07\00:08:24.49
Oh, okay.
00:08:24.52\00:08:25.55
Bread pieces,
nice big pieces there.
00:08:25.58\00:08:28.58
Whole wheat bread?
00:08:28.61\00:08:29.64
Yeah, whole wheat
bread? With fiber.
00:08:29.67\00:08:31.42
Okay. All right.
00:08:31.45\00:08:33.36
And then we're gonna go
ahead and do the same thing
00:08:33.39\00:08:34.72
but just one and we're gonna
actually just turn around--
00:08:34.75\00:08:38.63
Are we going to-- are
we gonna paint the bread?
00:08:38.66\00:08:40.71
If you want to
paint the bread, go ahead.
00:08:40.74\00:08:42.40
Paint the
bread. Okay. All right.
00:08:42.43\00:08:46.85
Well, what I could do
is I have these two things
00:08:46.88\00:08:48.60
like together and
I just take this--
00:08:48.63\00:08:50.66
we're gonna stir it around.
00:08:50.69\00:08:52.42
We got to put that-- put
a garlic in, baby. Oh, okay.
00:08:52.45\00:08:54.58
Garlic in there,
maybe use a fork. Okay.
00:08:54.61\00:08:58.36
Okay, okay. Put that in. Okay.
00:08:58.39\00:09:03.24
It's very good. All right.
00:09:03.27\00:09:04.31
And then we're just
gonna stir around a little bit,
00:09:04.34\00:09:06.81
because this is--what's
going to go on our bread.
00:09:06.84\00:09:11.08
Now it's like just you paint it.
00:09:11.11\00:09:13.85
We are painting the bread.
00:09:13.88\00:09:16.42
With that
garlic, with that thyme.
00:09:16.45\00:09:22.14
Okay and thyme, whatever
way you want to pronounce it.
00:09:22.17\00:09:25.29
Okay. Okay.
00:09:25.32\00:09:27.57
Now this goes what
you put it on the boiler?
00:09:27.60\00:09:29.76
It's gonna go in the oven. Yeah.
00:09:29.79\00:09:31.06
You boil it for--I guess
well, may be a few minutes
00:09:31.09\00:09:33.91
is all you what we need.
That's all, till you brown it.
00:09:33.94\00:09:35.89
It's gonna actually
what's gonna happen,
00:09:35.92\00:09:37.15
we're gonna
actually put in the foil.
00:09:37.18\00:09:38.47
Okay. Okay.
00:09:38.50\00:09:40.04
We're gonna put in a
foil, put that everything there,
00:09:40.07\00:09:43.10
and they get the idea
what it looks like. Okay.
00:09:43.13\00:09:45.37
What's gonna happen is, this
is the last piece right here,
00:09:45.40\00:09:48.38
let's go ahead and
put that on. Very good.
00:09:48.41\00:09:51.16
Okay. It's marvelous.
00:09:51.19\00:09:52.42
All right and then we're gonna
put it back together. Okay.
00:09:52.45\00:09:56.97
We're gonna put it back together
00:09:57.00\00:10:00.36
and we're gonna go ahead on
and put it inside of our foil.
00:10:00.39\00:10:04.05
Oh, I see. Okay and wrap it up.
00:10:04.08\00:10:08.54
And guess what?
00:10:12.55\00:10:14.42
I know you're saying
what's gonna happen with that,
00:10:14.45\00:10:16.22
it's going into the oven on
broil and when we come back.
00:10:16.25\00:10:18.93
You're gonna see
the finished product
00:10:18.96\00:10:20.07
which is the manicotti
stuff and also the herbal bread.
00:10:20.10\00:10:22.98
