Hola, bonjour, and
welcome to Creative Cooking.
00:00:10.41\00:00:14.48
My name is Nicole Braxton
and I've had a blast with you
00:00:14.51\00:00:18.08
traveling the
world one bite at a time.
00:00:18.11\00:00:20.78
And today, we'll be focused
on our lifestyle segments,
00:00:20.82\00:00:24.29
which are geared
towards quick and easy meals.
00:00:24.32\00:00:27.62
Today, we'll be making
three awesome simple meals
00:00:27.66\00:00:30.73
but also very delicious meals,
00:00:30.76\00:00:32.43
and they include scrambled tofu,
00:00:32.46\00:00:35.46
breakfast tacos, and delicious
00:00:35.50\00:00:38.03
and succulent
coconut lime oatmeal.
00:00:38.07\00:00:41.10
For our
scrambled tofu ingredients,
00:00:41.14\00:00:43.54
they consist of...
00:00:43.57\00:00:45.04
So let's get started.
00:01:22.11\00:01:24.61
For our scrambled tofu,
00:01:24.65\00:01:26.85
we're going to
take our fresh veggies
00:01:26.88\00:01:29.05
and we'll start
chopping our onion.
00:01:29.08\00:01:33.56
So we'll take the layers off,
00:01:33.59\00:01:37.83
cut it down in the middle,
00:01:37.86\00:01:40.20
and we'll remove the skin.
00:01:40.23\00:01:43.40
I've also found
00:01:43.43\00:01:44.77
that cutting outside
layers helps to remove the skin
00:01:44.80\00:01:49.84
a little bit quicker.
00:01:49.87\00:01:53.31
Okay.
00:01:53.34\00:01:55.78
So we'll start dicing.
00:01:55.81\00:02:01.08
Okay.
00:02:01.12\00:02:03.39
There we're just gonna cut down.
00:02:03.42\00:02:04.85
Ultimately, when
we're eating breakfast,
00:02:07.92\00:02:10.29
I found to be
00:02:10.33\00:02:11.66
a really
important meal of the day.
00:02:11.69\00:02:14.06
And scrambled tofu is
something that I enjoy making,
00:02:14.10\00:02:18.20
especially if you do meal prep,
00:02:18.23\00:02:19.97
meaning you've choose
one day out of the week
00:02:20.00\00:02:22.24
that you're gonna cook
majority of your meals,
00:02:22.27\00:02:24.47
and you separate it
into different days,
00:02:24.51\00:02:26.88
and you eat it as
soon as you're hungry.
00:02:26.91\00:02:28.71
So for example,
00:02:28.74\00:02:30.08
Sunday's a really good
day to start doing that.
00:02:30.11\00:02:33.05
So I'm chopping our onions.
I love the beautiful purple.
00:02:33.08\00:02:35.95
You can use this type
of onion, or you can use
00:02:35.98\00:02:38.59
just white onions, sweet onions,
00:02:38.62\00:02:40.22
it's up to you.
00:02:40.26\00:02:41.72
Remember, it's my
goal to empower you
00:02:41.76\00:02:44.16
to be a creative
chef in your kitchen.
00:02:44.19\00:02:49.03
So we can use
whatever onion you prefer.
00:02:49.06\00:02:54.90
And I'm just gonna
keep dicing my onion.
00:02:54.94\00:03:00.48
So breakfast
00:03:00.51\00:03:02.28
is a really good
meal that I like.
00:03:02.31\00:03:04.21
It helps start
the day off right,
00:03:04.25\00:03:05.65
especially when you
have a lot of things to do,
00:03:05.68\00:03:08.08
it's great to fuel your body
00:03:08.12\00:03:09.58
so you'll have the
energy and the stamina to do
00:03:09.62\00:03:11.72
all the different
objectives, and goals,
00:03:11.75\00:03:14.42
and tasks you have to
do at work or at school.
00:03:14.46\00:03:17.59
So this is a very
delicious and easy meal
00:03:17.63\00:03:22.50
to make
incorporate into your schedule.
00:03:22.53\00:03:26.94
Continue chopping the onions.
00:03:26.97\00:03:30.31
And next, so we
have our onions chopped,
00:03:30.34\00:03:34.44
next we'll have our red,
00:03:34.48\00:03:38.81
sorry, our green pepper.
00:03:38.85\00:03:40.68
We'll just chop this up.
00:03:40.72\00:03:45.62
You will add red
pepper to this as well.
00:03:45.65\00:03:48.26
I have mine diced ahead of time.
00:03:48.29\00:03:51.83
Okay.
00:03:51.86\00:03:53.19
All right, and the cool
thing about the red peppers
00:03:58.67\00:04:01.07
and the green peppers,
00:04:01.10\00:04:02.44
you can also just eat them raw
00:04:02.47\00:04:04.67
and they're still
packed with flavor.
00:04:04.71\00:04:06.81
I've learned that
when it comes to taste,
00:04:10.11\00:04:12.11
ultimately we are
creatures of habit
00:04:12.15\00:04:14.75
which brings me
into another point.
00:04:14.78\00:04:17.55
But as we started changing
00:04:17.59\00:04:19.29
and incorporating
healthier things into our diet,
00:04:19.32\00:04:21.96
it's amazing how our
taste buds can adjust,
00:04:21.99\00:04:24.99
not saying.
00:04:25.03\00:04:26.36
So for example,
like having a carrot,
00:04:26.39\00:04:28.66
I noticed that once I
started eating more vegetables,
00:04:28.70\00:04:31.27
I noticed carrots
were actually sweet
00:04:31.30\00:04:33.70
because I started to
have more healthier food
00:04:33.74\00:04:36.91
and my taste
buds started to alter.
00:04:36.94\00:04:39.31
So incorporating
these things into your diet,
00:04:39.34\00:04:42.34
you'll be surprised
how your taste buds change,
00:04:42.38\00:04:45.48
and your desires can change
00:04:45.51\00:04:47.05
as well to more
healthier plant-based food.
00:04:47.08\00:04:50.22
All right, so we
have some green pepper
00:04:55.82\00:04:58.23
and you can finish
chopping that at home.
00:04:58.26\00:05:01.30
Okay, so we have
00:05:01.33\00:05:03.37
our different
vegetables chopped.
00:05:03.40\00:05:07.30
You can put some water
at the base of your skillet,
00:05:07.34\00:05:09.70
or you could use a
little bit of olive oil.
00:05:09.74\00:05:12.94
Heat it up.
00:05:12.97\00:05:16.64
Also, add some celery in there.
00:05:16.68\00:05:20.45
Add then in little bit.
00:05:20.48\00:05:22.58
So we'll put our
onions in skillet.
00:05:22.62\00:05:26.55
There's also different
behavioral psychologists
00:05:31.79\00:05:35.86
that suggested, it
takes around 18 days
00:05:35.90\00:05:39.50
or more to create
an effective habit.
00:05:39.53\00:05:42.44
And one of the habits
00:05:42.47\00:05:43.81
that I really
like is eating a good
00:05:43.84\00:05:47.44
delicious breakfast if possible,
00:05:47.48\00:05:50.51
it really helps to start my day
00:05:50.55\00:05:53.52
and give me the
energy that I need.
00:05:53.55\00:05:55.05
But breakfast in general,
00:05:55.08\00:05:56.95
just eating in the morning
is not like a good thing.
00:05:56.99\00:05:59.69
So for example, you
could have like a donut,
00:05:59.72\00:06:02.02
and that can
really spike your sugar
00:06:02.06\00:06:05.13
and have a quick
decline later in the day.
00:06:05.16\00:06:07.36
So having meals with protein
00:06:07.40\00:06:12.03
and fiber
really help to give you
00:06:12.07\00:06:15.47
all the different
nutrients you need.
00:06:15.50\00:06:17.21
So now I'm
cutting out my celery.
00:06:17.24\00:06:19.21
Okay.
00:06:24.91\00:06:28.25
And we're just
gonna chop and rock it.
00:06:28.28\00:06:31.02
Alrighty.
00:06:43.43\00:06:45.13
So now we're going to
add this into the mix.
00:06:45.17\00:06:49.60
Make sure my
eyes all the way on.
00:06:49.64\00:06:53.84
Okay, we'll add
our red pepper as well.
00:06:53.88\00:06:56.75
And now let's get started
00:07:06.49\00:07:09.69
with our tofu
as that is cooking.
00:07:09.72\00:07:11.69
So for our tofu...
00:07:16.03\00:07:17.53
you have one pack of tofu.
00:07:20.64\00:07:22.90
Well, I'm starting
to hear the sizzle,
00:07:22.94\00:07:24.64
that's the kind of sound I
like when I'm making my tofu.
00:07:24.67\00:07:27.84
It's a good base.
00:07:27.88\00:07:29.74
Now, I'm gonna
take my pack of tofu,
00:07:29.78\00:07:33.28
and I'm going to
crumble it with my hands,
00:07:33.31\00:07:35.42
or you could use a
spoon or whatever you prefer.
00:07:35.45\00:07:38.22
So I'll just break it.
00:07:38.25\00:07:39.59
Alrighty.
00:07:46.66\00:07:50.73
And tofu can be
used for many things.
00:07:50.77\00:07:53.23
In the past, we made a
vegan ricotta out of it,
00:07:53.27\00:07:55.87
which was absolutely delicious.
00:07:55.90\00:07:57.91
And this time
we're going to use tofu.
00:07:57.94\00:07:59.74
And you can,
00:07:59.77\00:08:01.11
you know, crumble
it as much as you like.
00:08:01.14\00:08:02.54
If you like your tofu thicker,
00:08:02.58\00:08:04.55
you don't have to
press it down as much.
00:08:04.58\00:08:06.85
But if you like it very creamy,
00:08:06.88\00:08:12.29
then you can crumble it more.
00:08:12.32\00:08:14.69
So now, I'm going to get started
00:08:14.72\00:08:17.99
with seasoning,
00:08:18.03\00:08:19.36
our different
vegetables we have for our tofu.
00:08:19.39\00:08:23.83
So we're sauteing it.
00:08:23.87\00:08:25.20
Wow! I love the smell of this.
00:08:28.24\00:08:32.47
I love the smell of the onions,
some garlic, some peppers,
00:08:32.51\00:08:37.68
it's really, really nice.
00:08:37.71\00:08:39.48
Okay.
00:08:39.51\00:08:41.88
We're sauteing and you can put
00:08:41.92\00:08:43.25
some chicken style seasoning
00:08:43.28\00:08:44.75
on your fresh veggies.
00:08:44.79\00:08:50.13
I also like to
season my vegetables
00:08:50.16\00:08:52.59
before I incorporate
it inside other dishes,
00:08:52.63\00:08:55.56
like this tofu,
00:08:55.60\00:08:57.57
because it can bring
its own flavor to the dish.
00:08:57.60\00:09:01.04
You know, it's really nice
00:09:01.07\00:09:02.70
when, you know,
two objects already
00:09:02.74\00:09:06.54
have something going on
00:09:06.57\00:09:07.91
and then you
bring them together,
00:09:07.94\00:09:09.28
they're even
that much more better.
00:09:09.31\00:09:10.65
So for example, when
you have these vegetables,
00:09:10.68\00:09:13.98
they're seasonally well,
00:09:14.02\00:09:15.35
and you incorporate in
tofu won't take away flavor
00:09:15.38\00:09:17.85
from the tofu, it
will add, just great.
00:09:17.89\00:09:22.92
All right. That is amazing.
00:09:22.96\00:09:26.90
Now while this is simmering,
00:09:26.93\00:09:28.26
I want to share
with you some things
00:09:28.30\00:09:30.13
that are really beneficial to me
00:09:30.17\00:09:31.97
on my journey to health.
00:09:32.00\00:09:33.34
So this is a journey
for me and it has been
00:09:33.37\00:09:36.84
since I started learning
00:09:36.87\00:09:38.21
more about this
message of health,
00:09:38.24\00:09:40.61
it's essentially,
there's some principles
00:09:40.64\00:09:42.71
that I found that are amazing.
00:09:42.74\00:09:44.08
I'm still
incorporating them in my life
00:09:44.11\00:09:45.68
and growing and
growing and growing,
00:09:45.71\00:09:47.32
so this is a journey.
00:09:47.35\00:09:48.68
Remember, eating
healthy and being healthy
00:09:48.72\00:09:51.49
doesn't necessarily happen
overnight, it's a journey.
00:09:51.52\00:09:54.66
And journeys are
really beneficial
00:09:54.69\00:09:57.89
because it's one step at a time
00:09:57.93\00:10:00.40
and then creating healthy habits
00:10:00.43\00:10:02.93
is part of the journey.
00:10:02.96\00:10:04.43
So there are some principles
00:10:04.47\00:10:05.87
that I have found to
be really beneficial.
00:10:05.90\00:10:08.54
For example,
there's this acronym
00:10:08.57\00:10:10.01
that I learned of and
it's called "NEWSTART"
00:10:10.04\00:10:14.04
which
essentially means nutrition,
00:10:14.08\00:10:17.15
exercise, water,
00:10:17.18\00:10:21.65
sunlight,
00:10:21.68\00:10:23.62
temperance, air, rest,
00:10:23.65\00:10:27.92
and trust in God.
00:10:27.96\00:10:30.69
So now let's get started
00:10:30.73\00:10:33.16
with our tofu.
00:10:33.19\00:10:36.70
We'll take our tofu
00:10:36.73\00:10:38.33
and we'll pour into the mixture.
00:10:38.37\00:10:40.24
Alrighty.
00:10:48.18\00:10:51.58
You will notice the
great thing about tofu
00:10:51.61\00:10:53.45
that really absorbs the flavors
of whatever you put in it.
00:10:53.48\00:10:58.85
So it's now absorbing
the flavors of the onions,
00:10:58.89\00:11:02.56
the peppers.
00:11:02.59\00:11:04.43
And you'll start just notice
that its color will change.
00:11:08.46\00:11:10.97
You can actually physically see
00:11:11.00\00:11:13.13
how much the
tofu absorbs flavor.
00:11:13.17\00:11:16.91
Okay.
00:11:16.94\00:11:20.51
Now we're going to add
some nutritional yeast flakes,
00:11:20.54\00:11:24.25
it gives it a nice
cheesy texture or flavor.
00:11:24.28\00:11:27.98
Put that in there.
00:11:28.02\00:11:29.38
We're going to put some
chicken style seasoning.
00:11:29.42\00:11:31.42
A little bit of liquid smoke...
00:11:35.59\00:11:37.36
there you go.
00:11:40.46\00:11:43.20
It gives it a
smoky flavor as well.
00:11:43.23\00:11:46.07
So we're mixing it.
00:11:46.10\00:11:47.44
As you can imagine,
this combination is awesome.
00:11:47.47\00:11:52.24
Okay.
00:11:52.27\00:11:54.51
We're mixing it together.
00:11:54.54\00:11:58.98
Now for color,
we'll add some turmeric.
00:11:59.01\00:12:02.12
It takes on a nice yellow color.
00:12:07.32\00:12:09.56
And be careful
when you use turmeric,
00:12:09.59\00:12:11.46
it really does stain.
00:12:11.49\00:12:13.60
So you don't want to
get it on your clothes,
00:12:13.63\00:12:15.40
so make sure you're careful.
00:12:15.43\00:12:17.07
Then you start adding
turmeric to your mixture.
00:12:17.10\00:12:21.07
Okay.
00:12:21.10\00:12:24.04
Now we'll add some spices.
00:12:24.07\00:12:28.78
We'll add the rest
of your spices in there.
00:12:28.81\00:12:33.62
Oops, finish off
00:12:33.65\00:12:34.98
with some more
nutritional yeast flakes.
00:12:35.02\00:12:37.15
Now this is what
I'm talking about.
00:12:41.49\00:12:43.56
Lots of color, the flavor,
00:12:43.59\00:12:48.50
and let's say
the smell is amazing.
00:12:48.53\00:12:50.57
I can't wait to taste it.
00:12:50.60\00:12:52.23
I'm gonna put a little
more chicken style seasoning.
00:12:52.27\00:12:55.24
At this point, feel free to add
00:12:55.27\00:12:58.87
a pinch of salt.
00:12:58.91\00:13:00.68
Now if you look, you can see
00:13:08.42\00:13:11.12
that it's starting
to change its color.
00:13:11.15\00:13:13.05
There you go.
00:13:17.13\00:13:19.39
And I'll add a
little bit more turmeric
00:13:19.43\00:13:21.86
to get it little more yellow.
00:13:21.90\00:13:24.60
There we go.
00:13:24.63\00:13:25.97
Yes, it is fluffy,
look at that, beautiful.
00:13:31.51\00:13:36.58
All of the vibrant
colors are peering out.
00:13:36.61\00:13:40.45
Let's taste it.
00:13:40.48\00:13:41.82
That's amazing. Wow!
00:13:56.13\00:13:59.37
There's the
crunch from the peppers,
00:13:59.40\00:14:01.90
you also have the
liquid smoke in there,
00:14:01.94\00:14:04.77
has a nice flavor and then...
00:14:04.81\00:14:08.14
Wow!
00:14:08.18\00:14:09.51
The flavors from
the different spices
00:14:09.54\00:14:12.28
really ignite this dish.
00:14:12.31\00:14:14.92
So now you're
finished with your first recipe
00:14:14.95\00:14:17.45
of scrambled tofu.
00:14:17.49\00:14:19.65
For our next recipe,
00:14:19.69\00:14:21.02
we'll be making
delicious breakfast tacos.
00:14:21.06\00:14:23.76
And the ingredients include...
00:14:23.79\00:14:25.69
Okay, so to get started,
00:14:50.99\00:14:53.49
we are going to
toast our tortillas.
00:14:53.52\00:14:59.56
And the cool thing
about corn tortillas
00:14:59.59\00:15:03.67
is I love the texture.
00:15:03.70\00:15:06.10
It's healthier.
It's made out of corn.
00:15:06.13\00:15:09.20
And you can...
00:15:09.24\00:15:10.57
After you toast it,
00:15:10.61\00:15:11.94
it has a nice crispy consistency
00:15:11.97\00:15:13.74
on the outside
which I really enjoy.
00:15:13.78\00:15:15.38
And I like the size of it too.
00:15:15.41\00:15:17.55
It's not overwhelming,
you can try different ones
00:15:17.58\00:15:20.32
and it's a good way to
do portion control as well
00:15:20.35\00:15:22.78
when it comes to eating.
00:15:22.82\00:15:24.15
So we're going to allow these,
00:15:24.19\00:15:26.62
you know, toast of it.
00:15:26.65\00:15:28.49
I'm going to turn off my tofu
00:15:28.52\00:15:30.73
'cause we're finished with that.
00:15:30.76\00:15:32.73
Stir it a little bit.
00:15:32.76\00:15:36.26
Absolutely beautiful. Okay.
00:15:36.30\00:15:41.57
So now I'm gonna flip it over.
00:15:41.60\00:15:46.81
The other things that
we'll be putting inside
00:15:46.84\00:15:49.14
of our breakfast wrap are
different sausage patties.
00:15:49.18\00:15:52.08
So you can find
veggie sausage patties
00:15:52.11\00:15:55.38
in the store that you like.
00:15:55.42\00:15:56.75
So I'll just crumble them.
00:16:01.99\00:16:03.59
I really love breakfast tacos
00:16:10.27\00:16:12.63
because it really incorporates
00:16:12.67\00:16:14.27
all the different
flavors I like, all in one dish.
00:16:14.30\00:16:18.47
So you've got, you
know, the sweet going on,
00:16:18.51\00:16:21.54
when you have the salsa,
00:16:21.58\00:16:23.14
some of the
different components.
00:16:23.18\00:16:26.01
You know, you have the
savory with the vegan sausage,
00:16:26.05\00:16:29.32
and it's just really fulfilling
00:16:29.35\00:16:30.69
when especially
you can top it off
00:16:30.72\00:16:32.05
with the tofu.
00:16:32.09\00:16:33.42
So I'm super excited to try it.
00:16:33.46\00:16:35.92
Okay, so now we
have our veggie crumbles.
00:16:35.96\00:16:38.93
I'm gonna put it to
the side. This is ready.
00:16:42.70\00:16:46.63
Now, our tacos
are ready as well.
00:16:46.67\00:16:51.41
So I'll put this to the side.
00:16:51.44\00:16:53.51
The next thing we're gonna
do is make our hash browns.
00:16:56.91\00:16:59.81
So you can also use a...
00:16:59.85\00:17:05.32
cubed potatoes
00:17:05.35\00:17:06.69
if you'd like
instead of hash browns,
00:17:06.72\00:17:08.96
or you can just use
shredded hash browns.
00:17:08.99\00:17:11.86
I'm gonna put some oil
00:17:11.89\00:17:13.23
at the base or
you can use water.
00:17:13.26\00:17:14.96
Water is always a better option,
00:17:15.00\00:17:16.60
so you can use that.
00:17:16.63\00:17:17.97
So add this to the pan.
00:17:18.00\00:17:19.50
Okay.
00:17:23.91\00:17:26.64
Next, we'll stir it a bit.
00:17:26.68\00:17:30.11
Okay, we'll add some
chicken style seasoning.
00:17:36.85\00:17:42.09
You want to make sure
00:17:42.12\00:17:43.46
you season your hash browns well
00:17:43.49\00:17:44.83
because they have no
flavor at this point really.
00:17:44.86\00:17:49.03
I also if you would like
00:17:49.06\00:17:50.40
you can add
different seasonings.
00:17:50.43\00:17:52.37
Today we might add some garlic,
you can add whatever you like.
00:17:52.40\00:17:55.90
Remember, these
recipes are good,
00:17:55.94\00:17:58.87
you know, start,
and you can finish it
00:17:58.91\00:18:01.28
with all your
different tailor tastes
00:18:01.31\00:18:04.41
and ingredients.
00:18:04.45\00:18:07.12
So we'll just
stir that in there.
00:18:07.15\00:18:11.15
Next, I'm going to put
00:18:11.19\00:18:13.12
some fresh or
some spices inside,
00:18:13.15\00:18:17.19
and some salt to taste.
00:18:17.23\00:18:19.13
Alrighty, and
we're gonna stir this up.
00:18:22.46\00:18:27.17
After eating
00:18:27.20\00:18:28.54
a well balanced
breakfast like this,
00:18:28.57\00:18:31.41
it's important to make
sure you get some exercise,
00:18:31.44\00:18:35.28
not right away,
00:18:35.31\00:18:36.64
you want to let your
food digest, of course.
00:18:36.68\00:18:38.25
But it's been found
00:18:38.28\00:18:39.61
even when it comes
to different things
00:18:39.65\00:18:40.98
such as diabetes,
00:18:41.02\00:18:42.35
even a nice walk
after eating is a good way
00:18:42.38\00:18:45.72
to help
affectively break down the food
00:18:45.75\00:18:49.02
and allow it to process
in your body effectively.
00:18:49.06\00:18:52.49
So exercise is a
great thing to incorporate.
00:18:52.53\00:18:56.23
I try to aim for
three days a week,
00:18:56.26\00:18:58.33
keep it consistent.
00:18:58.37\00:18:59.83
They say the best
workout at the end of the day
00:18:59.87\00:19:02.80
is the workout that you will do,
00:19:02.84\00:19:05.27
not the one that sounds good
00:19:05.31\00:19:06.71
but the one
that is good for you.
00:19:06.74\00:19:08.74
So it's really cool to
start incorporating exercise
00:19:08.78\00:19:12.01
as a component to eating well.
00:19:12.05\00:19:15.08
So if you eat
well and don't workout,
00:19:15.12\00:19:18.35
it is not...
00:19:18.39\00:19:19.72
You don't get the full
benefits of full balanced,
00:19:19.75\00:19:23.02
well-balanced lifestyle.
00:19:23.06\00:19:25.33
So we're gonna add
some garlic in here as well.
00:19:25.36\00:19:28.36
I'm gonna chop it up.
00:19:28.40\00:19:31.83
I love adding garlic to my food.
00:19:31.87\00:19:33.70
I love the different
taste it adds and flavor.
00:19:33.74\00:19:37.14
Also, I like that it
helps to build my immune system.
00:19:37.17\00:19:41.28
So not only does it tastes good,
00:19:41.31\00:19:42.98
it's also good for
immune, so I like that.
00:19:43.01\00:19:47.12
Okay, and add our last
clove of garlic as well.
00:19:47.15\00:19:51.85
Perfecto mundo.
00:19:59.26\00:20:01.70
All right, it's
gonna put that in there.
00:20:01.73\00:20:03.80
So our hash browns are cooking.
00:20:09.27\00:20:11.24
Okay.
00:20:17.15\00:20:19.65
Let me give it a little taste.
00:20:19.68\00:20:21.38
Tastes good.
00:20:27.99\00:20:29.32
I'm gonna add a
little bit more garlic
00:20:29.36\00:20:34.10
and a little more
chicken style seasoning.
00:20:34.13\00:20:39.13
So be careful
when you're seasoning,
00:20:39.17\00:20:40.54
make sure you season
and taste simultaneously,
00:20:40.57\00:20:43.61
so you don't over
season or under season.
00:20:43.64\00:20:46.74
It's good to taste your food
00:20:46.78\00:20:48.11
while cooking to make
sure you're hitting the mark.
00:20:48.14\00:20:51.38
All right, so our
hash browns are done.
00:20:54.48\00:20:57.29
Now we're going to get
to the most exciting part
00:20:57.32\00:20:59.89
which is building
our breakfast taco.
00:20:59.92\00:21:05.43
So for our tacos,
00:21:05.46\00:21:08.33
you can either mix all
your ingredients together
00:21:08.36\00:21:11.17
at this point and
put it into a taco,
00:21:11.20\00:21:16.00
or you can layer it.
00:21:16.04\00:21:20.18
The recipe encourages you
to mix it, you can do that,
00:21:20.21\00:21:23.68
and you can also layer it.
00:21:23.71\00:21:26.98
So if you decide to mix it all,
00:21:27.02\00:21:32.02
you'll take your scrambled tofu,
00:21:32.05\00:21:34.79
mix it in with your hash browns.
00:21:34.82\00:21:36.73
You'll put your veggie
crumbles inside as well.
00:21:44.87\00:21:48.57
All right.
00:22:01.18\00:22:03.15
And then you would
just add this to your taco.
00:22:03.18\00:22:07.66
You'd add some salsa
00:22:15.56\00:22:19.50
at the top.
00:22:19.53\00:22:24.01
And then let's put
some cilantro in there,
00:22:24.04\00:22:26.98
get some fresh herbs.
00:22:27.01\00:22:28.34
Remember, when seasoning,
00:22:28.38\00:22:29.71
it's really nice to
put herbs and spices,
00:22:29.74\00:22:31.48
it gives it the most flavor.
00:22:31.51\00:22:34.92
Okay, so then you can
put a little bit of cilantro
00:22:34.95\00:22:39.59
and that's if you mix
it or if you layer it...
00:22:39.62\00:22:43.09
If you layer it individually,
00:22:43.12\00:22:48.43
you can do it like this.
00:22:48.46\00:22:50.47
We'll put some
potatoes at the base.
00:22:50.50\00:22:52.73
You'll add your scrambled tofu.
00:22:59.04\00:23:03.41
Put some veggie crumbles.
00:23:10.65\00:23:12.45
Okay.
00:23:16.73\00:23:18.53
And then you'll put
some more scrambled tofu
00:23:18.56\00:23:22.03
just for aesthetics.
00:23:22.06\00:23:23.43
And you'll put some salsa.
00:23:30.27\00:23:33.01
And you'll top it off
with your chopped cilantro.
00:23:37.18\00:23:40.22
And there it is, breakfast taco.
00:23:43.28\00:23:47.49
So look at that,
it's really delicious.
00:23:47.52\00:23:50.23
So this brings us to
our last but final recipe
00:23:50.26\00:23:53.09
which is our
coconut lime oatmeal.
00:23:53.13\00:23:55.23
It consists of...
00:23:55.26\00:23:57.20
Now for our oatmeal, we
are going to take some milk.
00:24:09.81\00:24:15.55
You can use
almond milk, soy milk,
00:24:15.58\00:24:18.19
you can use also coconut milk.
00:24:18.22\00:24:20.79
And we'll pour it in...
00:24:20.82\00:24:22.16
And let it boil.
00:24:28.76\00:24:30.93
Next, we'll take our quick oats.
00:24:34.14\00:24:35.70
I really like them
'cause they cook effectively.
00:24:35.74\00:24:37.91
They're true to
their name, quick oats.
00:24:37.94\00:24:40.14
So we're going to stir
in some quick oats as well.
00:24:40.18\00:24:43.68
Alrighty, and then we're going
00:24:47.22\00:24:50.92
to just keep whisking it in.
00:24:50.95\00:24:54.22
It's nice,
because the quick oats
00:25:01.16\00:25:02.60
take on the different flavor.
00:25:02.63\00:25:06.87
There we go.
00:25:06.90\00:25:10.01
Okay, so we have that going.
00:25:10.04\00:25:12.41
Okay. Keep stirring that in.
00:25:15.61\00:25:19.71
It smells really good.
00:25:19.75\00:25:21.08
So depending on the
type of milk you use,
00:25:21.12\00:25:23.28
it will take on,
that it will take on
00:25:23.32\00:25:25.09
that flavor and aroma,
00:25:25.12\00:25:27.49
so this oatmeal is
great, super excited.
00:25:27.52\00:25:30.79
So, you know, I will be...
00:25:30.83\00:25:32.69
I will tell you the truth
00:25:32.73\00:25:34.06
that oatmeal is
not my favorite thing,
00:25:34.10\00:25:36.77
but this oatmeal, I
will definitely eat it.
00:25:36.80\00:25:40.30
It's filled with
different ingredients
00:25:40.34\00:25:44.27
that bring out different flavors
00:25:44.31\00:25:45.64
and it's not
bland, I really don't...
00:25:45.67\00:25:47.74
I'm not a big fan of bland food.
00:25:47.78\00:25:49.71
So when there's
food filled with flavor,
00:25:49.74\00:25:51.68
that's where I
am 'cause I love it.
00:25:51.71\00:25:53.72
I love, love, love it.
00:25:53.75\00:25:55.12
I'm a foodie some would say.
00:25:55.15\00:25:56.89
So I'm gonna take some
honey and put this in as well.
00:25:56.92\00:26:01.42
There we go.
00:26:04.49\00:26:05.83
Next, I'm going to put
in, you can use coconut,
00:26:08.90\00:26:13.64
like coconut shredded,
00:26:13.67\00:26:15.17
or you can use little
bit of coconut milk...
00:26:15.20\00:26:17.84
some salt to
taste, and some coriander.
00:26:21.11\00:26:26.35
All right, so now
we're gonna whisk away.
00:26:30.05\00:26:32.25
Wow! I'm excited.
00:26:37.16\00:26:41.63
Okay, so what's really great
is the honey sweetens it a bit,
00:26:41.66\00:26:44.83
brings a lot of,
00:26:44.87\00:26:47.34
like a succulent and
sweet taste to the oatmeal.
00:26:47.37\00:26:50.54
Then we have our coriander
in there, and to top it off,
00:26:50.57\00:26:53.54
you'll let this
cook for a little bit,
00:26:53.58\00:26:54.91
allow the oats to
absorb the different flavors.
00:26:54.94\00:26:59.28
And then you can top
it off with some lime,
00:26:59.31\00:27:02.48
so some lime juice.
00:27:02.52\00:27:03.85
You can squeeze
some lime juice inside,
00:27:03.89\00:27:05.32
you can also zest it as well.
00:27:05.35\00:27:09.56
And I will just
put that in there,
00:27:09.59\00:27:13.50
and let it cook down,
00:27:13.53\00:27:14.86
and then you'll have
your finished oatmeal.
00:27:14.90\00:27:18.33
So we've made a lot today.
00:27:18.37\00:27:19.70
Let's take a look at
everything we've made.
00:27:19.73\00:27:22.80
We made scrambled tofu,
delicious breakfast tacos,
00:27:22.84\00:27:27.44
and our yummy coconut oatmeal.
00:27:27.48\00:27:31.15
Ultimately, when
you're making your breakfast,
00:27:31.18\00:27:33.48

delicious and nutritious meal.
