Ola, Bonjoir and
welcome to Creative Cooking.
00:00:20.12\00:00:23.12
My name is Nichole
Braxton and I am super excited
00:00:23.15\00:00:26.15
to be with you here today.
00:00:26.19\00:00:27.52
Some of the dishes we'll
be making are Carob Brownies,
00:00:27.56\00:00:31.16
a Strawberry Glaze, a
Mango Smoothie and Doux Crepe.
00:00:31.19\00:00:35.66
And before we get started
into all these delicious meals,
00:00:35.70\00:00:39.13
and different recipes, I
want to share with you something
00:00:39.17\00:00:42.14
that's really keen to me and
is really special to my heart.
00:00:42.17\00:00:44.97
When it comes to cooking, I
love to mix different things
00:00:45.01\00:00:49.78
and try out what works
well and to be creative..
00:00:49.81\00:00:52.88
And also when I am cooking
for people I always like to lean
00:00:52.91\00:00:57.02
upon God. For me, that
is really important because
00:00:57.05\00:00:59.92
at the end of the day, He
knows best. He created all my
00:00:59.95\00:01:02.89
taste buds, so, when I
was preparing for all these
00:01:02.92\00:01:07.43
different recipes, I started
to...this song came to me and I
00:01:07.46\00:01:09.76
wanted to share it with you. I
am going to share it right now,
00:01:09.80\00:01:13.23
so another thing that important
to me besides cooking is
00:01:13.27\00:01:16.54
also singing. I love to sing.
00:01:16.57\00:01:18.64
So I am going to sing a
song to you that inspires me
00:01:18.67\00:01:21.14
when I'm in the kitchen.
00:01:21.18\00:01:22.54
Essentially that song is
welcoming the Holy Spirit
00:01:51.11\00:01:54.21
into our lives, so for me when
I cook, I like to welcome the
00:01:54.24\00:01:57.25
Holy Spirit along with me.
00:01:57.28\00:01:58.61
So let's skip into cooking,
let's make our delicious
00:01:59.21\00:02:02.12
carob brownies but before we
do, I have a really close friend
00:02:02.15\00:02:05.55
that is here with me.
Jason will you come join me?
00:02:05.59\00:02:07.69
Good to see
you. Good to see you.
00:02:07.72\00:02:10.56
So, I have to
be honest with you.
00:02:10.59\00:02:13.60
I've been watching
you on Creative Cooking,
00:02:13.63\00:02:15.66
I've been seeing all of these
wonderful recipes being made,
00:02:15.70\00:02:20.10
I've tried the
food. I love the food,
00:02:20.14\00:02:23.14
which surprised me because my
diet is a little bit different
00:02:23.17\00:02:28.61
but I was very surprised.
00:02:28.64\00:02:31.41
So I am excited to jump
into whatever we are going to be
00:02:31.45\00:02:35.82
making today.
00:02:35.85\00:02:37.19
What are we going
to be making today?
00:02:37.22\00:02:38.55
So we'll be making carob
brownies and the ingredients
00:02:38.59\00:02:41.62
for that include:
00:02:41.66\00:02:42.99
Wow! That sounds like
a power packed desert.
00:03:08.22\00:03:13.29
Yes! Now how much
does this recipe yield?
00:03:13.32\00:03:16.46
Yes. So this is a really
good recipe because it is great
00:03:16.49\00:03:19.96
for groups. When making it
you can make around 20 to 30
00:03:20.00\00:03:24.17
different brownies so
remember with quantity,
00:03:24.20\00:03:26.60
this is a really
good recipe for groups.
00:03:26.63\00:03:29.00
Twenty to thirty. Yes.
00:03:29.04\00:03:30.74
Or you can have
a lot of leftovers.
00:03:30.77\00:03:33.27
Or you could have
a lot of leftovers.
00:03:33.31\00:03:34.64
I'm with that plan. So
you have that sweet tooth.
00:03:34.68\00:03:36.04
So to get us started we'll
first put our dry ingredients
00:03:36.08\00:03:40.28
together. So if you can
take the carob powder and
00:03:40.32\00:03:42.88
put it in the mixing bowl. Ok.
00:03:42.92\00:03:45.95
Ok. Then if you can
take the flour as well as the
00:03:45.99\00:03:57.20
whole wheat flour.
You know what, this is,
00:03:57.23\00:04:00.60
this is really good too because
I'm not really that great with
00:04:00.64\00:04:03.37
baking like that. Um hum.
00:04:03.41\00:04:04.97
I can cook at home. Yes.
But the whole baking thing
00:04:05.01\00:04:09.81
is not really my strong suit
so I'm happy to be learning.
00:04:09.84\00:04:13.92
You know what I like,
the recipe, this recipe is
00:04:13.95\00:04:17.02
really good to help
have a good base so then
00:04:17.05\00:04:19.82
when you go home, it's easy
to make so this is going to be
00:04:19.85\00:04:23.26
a good one.
00:04:23.29\00:04:24.63
And while you stir this
up... Ok. I'm going to melt some
00:04:24.66\00:04:29.63
of the vegan butter.
00:04:29.66\00:04:31.00
Alrighty.
00:04:36.40\00:04:37.74
Now in general when
it comes to desserts
00:04:41.04\00:04:43.75
the absolutely best desserts
come directly from nature.
00:04:43.78\00:04:48.42
But if we do decide that
we want to bake something like
00:04:48.45\00:04:52.09
a brownie like we
are doing today...Um hum.
00:04:52.12\00:04:55.29
This is a good vegan recipe.
00:04:55.32\00:04:58.69
Nice.
00:04:58.73\00:05:00.16
Alright, so I am
just letting this...
00:05:01.16\00:05:02.96
And I'm making a mess
over here while I'm stirring.
00:05:03.00\00:05:05.50
You're doing good,
so as you are mixing,
00:05:05.53\00:05:07.60
you are essentially making
it so that all the different
00:05:07.64\00:05:09.90
dry ingredients come together
and so when you put a liquid
00:05:09.94\00:05:13.48
with it,
sometimes it will clump up.
00:05:13.51\00:05:15.91
So for example, have you ever
had something that tasted like
00:05:15.94\00:05:18.08
chalky? Yeah.
00:05:18.11\00:05:19.45
Almost like when you make
a rue. Yes...How that clumps.
00:05:19.48\00:05:23.18
Yes exactly. Gotcha.
So that will come up.
00:05:23.39\00:05:25.75
So now our vegan butter is done.
00:05:25.79\00:05:29.32
Lovely, lovely.
00:05:29.36\00:05:32.33
Alright, so now we
are going to combine our
00:05:32.36\00:05:35.30
liquid
ingredients in a separate bowl
00:05:35.33\00:05:37.40
Ok. So what I found is apple
sauce is a really good binder
00:05:37.43\00:05:45.81
for ingredients
when you do like baking,
00:05:45.84\00:05:48.58
it really puts it together,
keeps it moist and has a good
00:05:48.61\00:05:51.38
texture. So if you
can pour this in here...
00:05:51.41\00:05:54.12
Tell me. I've got an interesting
story to do with applesauce.
00:05:54.15\00:05:59.05
Ok. So when I was a kid
and coming up, my mom...
00:05:59.09\00:06:03.93
she's very
healthy...Ok, that's awesome.
00:06:03.96\00:06:07.50
So what she used to love to do
was to put herbs and supplements
00:06:07.53\00:06:13.07
in the applesauce and mix it
around so that I would eat it
00:06:13.10\00:06:19.01
and I would get those
supplements and all of that.
00:06:19.04\00:06:22.01
So I wasn't really a huge fan
of applesauce when I was a kid.
00:06:22.04\00:06:26.58
My cousins, they used
to call my mom Aunt Evie
00:06:26.61\00:06:31.05
and they still call her
Aunt Evie but they would say
00:06:31.09\00:06:34.72
no more applesauce Evie, like
they didn't want any applesauce
00:06:34.76\00:06:37.96
because they were
terrified because they knew...
00:06:37.99\00:06:39.83
Like it took on a
brownish Oh wow...color.
00:06:39.86\00:06:43.30
Ok so you had it in
a really medicinal way
00:06:43.33\00:06:47.20
all the properties of all the
health stuff she put in there
00:06:47.24\00:06:49.87
was...Ok. So, it wasn't
applesauce, it was a little
00:06:49.90\00:06:53.07
different than that.
00:06:53.11\00:06:54.44
Applesauce with a
healthy... super healthy twist.
00:06:54.48\00:06:57.71
But this is actually
going to be a little brown too.
00:06:57.75\00:07:01.42
That would make sense.
But a different kind of brown.
00:07:01.45\00:07:04.42
So what do we do next?
00:07:04.45\00:07:05.79
Now we are going to pour
our vegan butter inside. Um hum.
00:07:05.82\00:07:08.96
Also to replace any
sugar, we can put some honey.
00:07:08.99\00:07:16.77
So if you will just
hold that. There we go.
00:07:16.80\00:07:22.07
Team work makes the dream work.
00:07:22.10\00:07:23.81
It is. Loving it.
00:07:23.84\00:07:25.37
Alright so. Okay.
00:07:25.41\00:07:30.21
Now stir this up. I'm
going to put these back here.
00:07:30.25\00:07:35.62
Ok, thank you. You are welcome.
00:07:35.65\00:07:37.99
Umm, can you smell this?
00:07:38.02\00:07:42.36
Wow! I know, I'm
excited. It smells delicious.
00:07:42.39\00:07:47.86
So now what you are going
to do, you are going to add the
00:07:47.90\00:07:50.67
carob chips in there as well.
00:07:50.70\00:07:53.84
Ok. Dry with dry. Um hum.
00:07:53.87\00:07:56.77
And then you will add
a little salt to taste.
00:07:56.81\00:08:00.31
Ok. Alright. But this is a
big group, this is a big group.
00:08:00.34\00:08:06.58
Big group. It's a big
group. It's for a big group.
00:08:06.61\00:08:08.88
That's right. And
then you add a little bit
00:08:08.92\00:08:12.99
baking powder without aluminum.
00:08:13.02\00:08:15.72
Alright we
definitely don't want that.
00:08:15.76\00:08:18.09
You know, I've heard that
aluminum can cause Alzheimer's.
00:08:18.13\00:08:20.66
Really. Yeah, it's not
healthy for the body at all
00:08:20.70\00:08:24.53
That's for sure. Yes.
00:08:24.57\00:08:26.63
So I'm going to get my mix
on while you are doing that
00:08:26.67\00:08:29.14
I want to be productive.
00:08:29.17\00:08:30.51
Alright, so now, so I am doing
the same thing with the liquids,
00:08:30.54\00:08:34.74
I just want to make
sure it doesn't have clumps
00:08:34.78\00:08:36.85
so it doesn't taste
like applesauce in one bite,
00:08:36.88\00:08:38.98
vegan butter on the other.
00:08:39.01\00:08:40.62
So like a smooth
consistency. Exactly. Exactly.
00:08:40.65\00:08:44.15
So when you have
brownies, what are your favorite
00:08:44.19\00:08:46.65
kind of brownies?
00:08:46.69\00:08:48.02
Well let's just put it this way.
00:08:48.06\00:08:51.93
Tell me. I'm
happy to be trying these
00:08:51.96\00:08:54.50
type of brownies because
we are using carob instead of
00:08:54.53\00:08:57.33
the chocolate.
Nice. and all of that.
00:08:57.37\00:08:59.57
I'm looking forward to
testing this flavor out.
00:08:59.60\00:09:03.04
Alright, well we've got
our liquids done. Um hum.
00:09:03.07\00:09:06.64
So now I am going to pour it
in if you can continue to stir.
00:09:06.68\00:09:10.01
I can do that.
00:09:10.05\00:09:11.38
Alrighty.
00:09:11.41\00:09:12.75
There you go, see
now it's all combining.
00:09:19.55\00:09:22.02
Ahh, this is really reminding
me of my childhood right now.
00:09:22.06\00:09:25.56
This will taste
a little different,
00:09:25.59\00:09:27.23
it will definitely
appease your sweet tooth.
00:09:27.26\00:09:29.73
I better...we better hurry
up and get this thing baked
00:09:32.23\00:09:35.20
before my mom tries to come
in and put some herbs in it.
00:09:35.24\00:09:38.47
One of things I also
like about this mixture,
00:09:38.51\00:09:41.54
I've added other
things if I wanted to have a
00:09:41.58\00:09:44.81
different taste. Let's
say if I want peanut butter
00:09:45.35\00:09:46.92
with brownies. I can add
some peanut butter in this,
00:09:46.95\00:09:49.75
in the base and then
it has its own taste.
00:09:49.78\00:09:52.25
It's delicious, it
still combines with the carob
00:09:52.29\00:09:54.72
and the applesauce. Nice.
00:09:54.76\00:09:56.59
So this is a really great thing
that you can do to be creative,
00:09:56.62\00:09:59.79
just add a little something
extra to meet your taste.
00:09:59.83\00:10:02.66
How convenient because
you are on Creative Cooking.
00:10:02.70\00:10:05.97
I know. Ding, ding, ding, ding.
00:10:06.00\00:10:08.74
Alright so then that just...you
just keep stirring that until it
00:10:08.77\00:10:12.41
becomes like a nice
mixture. That's right.
00:10:12.44\00:10:14.58
And if you decide that you
would like to add a little more
00:10:14.61\00:10:17.65
liquid, I would recommend
like water, that's a good thing
00:10:17.68\00:10:21.52
to add. So we are just
going to add a little water
00:10:21.55\00:10:25.15
to make sure
everything is mixing well.
00:10:25.19\00:10:27.19
Ok. This is definitely
don't want to make a mess on
00:10:27.22\00:10:32.66
cause I do have to go to
a little meeting after this.
00:10:32.69\00:10:36.90
Alrighty, so I will get the pan
ready while you are doing that.
00:10:36.93\00:10:40.80
Alright. Make sure I get all
that powder and dry ingredients.
00:10:40.84\00:10:47.98
That looks beautiful.
Yes. Uh oh, I see a little
00:10:48.01\00:10:55.48
clump there. It looks
a little dry under there.
00:10:55.52\00:10:57.19
Just mix that
around. And if you want,
00:10:57.22\00:11:00.22
I usually mix with a spoon
like you are doing. Um hum.
00:11:00.26\00:11:02.62
And also you can use a blender,
that's, that's...I'm old-school
00:11:02.66\00:11:07.36
just using my hands but
you can also use a blender
00:11:07.40\00:11:09.83
or so. You can do that
when you are making this recipe.
00:11:09.86\00:11:12.33
I can see that, it's
like flying all over the wall.
00:11:12.37\00:11:14.84
Yeah basically. One
of those mixers. Yeah.
00:11:14.87\00:11:17.61
That's happened to me
before so you know what,
00:11:17.64\00:11:20.08
I can use a spoon. You learn
by experience. Trial and error.
00:11:20.11\00:11:23.65
Alright. So that's perfect.
00:11:23.68\00:11:25.81
So now, what we will do,
we'll just give it one more mix.
00:11:25.85\00:11:28.65
That's awesome.
00:11:28.68\00:11:30.02
And now if you hold the
bowl I will just pour this in.
00:11:30.05\00:11:33.29
Alrighty. Ok.
00:11:33.32\00:11:40.70
Ok there it is.
00:11:40.73\00:11:42.73
And then we'll spread
it, just like flatten it out.
00:11:42.76\00:11:46.33
Ok. Alrighty.
00:11:46.37\00:11:51.34
Do we want to put a little
more or are we going to make it
00:11:51.37\00:11:56.75
like super thick or...
00:11:56.78\00:11:58.88
This will be one batch, a
few people will be eating it
00:11:58.91\00:12:03.99
we won't do the big
group so we'll do one batch
00:12:04.02\00:12:06.32
but you can always...what
you do with any extra batter
00:12:09.12\00:12:10.99
if it's too much, you
can also put it into cupcakes
00:12:11.03\00:12:12.89
and you can have it for
later and so we will put this
00:12:12.93\00:12:16.67
in the oven and it'll be good.
00:12:16.70\00:12:19.00
So hopefully you can
try it soon. Sounds good.
00:12:19.03\00:12:21.00
I will, I have to run,
please save me a plate.
00:12:21.04\00:12:25.14
Will do. Of
everything that you make.
00:12:25.17\00:12:26.88
I will see you later, thank
you for the lesson in baking.
00:12:26.91\00:12:31.15
Alright. Take care.
00:12:31.21\00:12:33.31
Alright, so I am going to
put these brownies in the oven
00:12:33.35\00:12:37.52
and get ready
for our next recipe.
00:12:37.55\00:12:39.32
Alright, while those are
baking let's get started on our
00:12:39.35\00:12:50.57
next recipe. And the ingredients
for our next recipe include:
00:12:50.60\00:12:55.34
This will make our
delicious Strawberry Glaze.
00:13:01.58\00:13:05.18
Now when it comes
to our Strawberry Glaze
00:13:05.21\00:13:08.12
I really like it
because strawberries are a great
00:13:08.15\00:13:10.62
source of antioxidants
and I like to mix it up for
00:13:10.65\00:13:14.92
our glaze and what we are
going to do is take a saucepan,
00:13:14.96\00:13:19.89
take a little bit
of vegan butter...
00:13:19.93\00:13:23.37
You can also utilize
water if you like to replace it.
00:13:23.40\00:13:27.64
Then we'll take some
strawberries which is about,
00:13:27.67\00:13:32.47
it makes about 8 ounces
to one cup of strawberries...
00:13:32.51\00:13:35.78
When you have your
bag of strawberries,
00:13:35.81\00:13:38.25
you want 8 ounces to one cup.
00:13:38.28\00:13:40.18
Then you are going to put
it inside of the saucepan.
00:13:40.22\00:13:45.05
The smell of the
strawberries is amazing.
00:13:45.09\00:13:55.03
Awesome. So we are going
to just keep stirring it.
00:13:55.06\00:13:59.23
Alright. Now as we are stirring
it and letting all these
00:13:59.27\00:14:06.51
ingredients melt, I'm going
to put a little honey to taste
00:14:06.54\00:14:10.98
and sweeten it just a bit.
00:14:11.01\00:14:13.98
So I will just keep
tossing it in my saucepan...
00:14:22.19\00:14:25.59
Wow, the smell is amazing.
00:14:25.63\00:14:29.60
Basically you can see that
we have strawberries right here
00:14:29.63\00:14:34.50
and they are just
all coming together.
00:14:34.54\00:14:37.14
Just from the
strawberries coming out...
00:14:37.17\00:14:39.44
We have a little bit of honey
in there and some vegan butter
00:14:39.47\00:14:42.31
and at home if you like to use
water, you can do that as well.
00:14:42.34\00:14:44.78
Just let it mix.
Ok. That is good.
00:14:44.81\00:14:53.49
Next we will put it in a
blender to make a good glaze.
00:14:53.52\00:14:58.16
So take it off the
fire, put it in our blender.
00:14:58.19\00:15:02.73
Just pour it in, and
now we will blend it.
00:15:02.76\00:15:13.58
Awesome. So with all of
my sauces I like to give it
00:15:28.32\00:15:35.43
just a little taste, so for this
glaze I am just going to test it
00:15:35.46\00:15:39.50
and see if it what I like.
00:15:39.53\00:15:40.87
That's good.
Really, really good.
00:15:40.90\00:15:49.34
This is a great
topping for different desserts.
00:15:49.38\00:15:51.75
You can put it on
top of the brownies.
00:15:51.78\00:15:54.55
And when it is finished it
will look something like this.
00:15:54.58\00:15:58.39
So for our next recipe,
we'll be doing a mango smoothie.
00:15:58.42\00:16:03.73
This recipe includes:
00:16:03.76\00:16:05.49
So let's get started.
00:16:15.04\00:16:16.71
We will begin by taking
the mango and putting it in our
00:16:16.74\00:16:20.91
blender. Next we'll put
some yummy spinach inside...
00:16:20.94\00:16:28.82
You can use frozen or fresh.
00:16:28.85\00:16:30.72
Now I'm going to
cut a banana in half
00:16:37.16\00:16:41.86
and one thing I want to tell
you, when it comes to cutting,
00:16:41.90\00:16:44.93
since I have this
in my hands already,
00:16:44.97\00:16:46.80
it's really important to
know the sharper your knife,
00:16:46.84\00:16:49.37
oddly enough, the
sharper your knife is,
00:16:49.40\00:16:53.41
the better you
will be able to cut
00:16:53.44\00:16:55.31
and the less dangerous it is.
00:16:55.34\00:16:57.51
So for example if you have a
dull knife and you are cutting,
00:16:57.55\00:16:59.95
it can wobble around and
it makes you more likely to
00:16:59.98\00:17:03.45
cut yourself than if
you have a sharp knife
00:17:03.49\00:17:05.42
because you have
more grip and control.
00:17:05.45\00:17:07.46
So you want to make sure
if you are cutting with like a
00:17:07.49\00:17:09.49
chef's knife or any type of
knife, you want to make sure
00:17:09.52\00:17:12.73
it's sharp and you
also want to be careful.
00:17:12.76\00:17:15.10
So for example this
doesn't have a dull blade,
00:17:15.13\00:17:18.30
you don't want to
cut with a dull blade.
00:17:18.33\00:17:19.97
So, we're just going to
cut our banana in half...
00:17:20.00\00:17:24.57
Also when taking care of your
knife, it is important to not
00:17:24.61\00:17:31.68
throw it in the
dishwasher to clean it
00:17:31.71\00:17:34.32
because it makes the knife dull.
00:17:34.35\00:17:36.52
You want to rinse off
your knife with cold water
00:17:36.55\00:17:39.92
so it doesn't take away
the sharpness from the knife.
00:17:39.95\00:17:42.59
That's a good fun tip for
you to know when you are home
00:17:42.62\00:17:45.69
and you are cooking and
you want to have a sharp knife
00:17:45.73\00:17:47.43
not a dull knife and you also
want to be careful when you cut.
00:17:47.46\00:17:50.17
Alright, so we have this
banana and we will throw this
00:17:50.20\00:17:53.37
into our smoothie,
next we will put some aqua,
00:17:53.40\00:18:00.31
some water in here.
00:18:00.34\00:18:03.95
Alrighty. Then we will
put some ice cubes as well.
00:18:03.98\00:18:09.18
I like this dish in a
smoothie because it's so fresh.
00:18:09.22\00:18:19.76
I like the mangos, the
bananas and the spinach.
00:18:19.79\00:18:24.37
Alright, so now we are
going to just blend it up.
00:18:24.40\00:18:27.37
The great thing I
like about this smoothie,
00:18:45.89\00:18:47.72
it has a nice green
color which to me symbolizes
00:18:47.76\00:18:52.29
the different nutrients
I'm about receive from this
00:18:52.33\00:18:54.73
delicious smoothie.
00:18:54.76\00:18:56.33
Alright, it's time to do
one of my favorite things,
00:19:06.21\00:19:11.55
which is tasting it
out and see how it is.
00:19:11.58\00:19:13.48
I love smoothies.
00:19:13.52\00:19:17.29
That's good. I really like that.
00:19:17.32\00:19:24.76
It's fresh, it's not too sweet
and if at home when making it
00:19:24.79\00:19:29.00
if you would like to
add a little sweetness to it
00:19:29.03\00:19:31.17
you can add some more fruit
or you could add a little bit
00:19:31.20\00:19:34.37
of honey just to sweeten it up
but this is great for me so...
00:19:34.40\00:19:37.51
Enjoy!
00:19:37.54\00:19:38.87
This brings us to our next
recipe which is our doux crepe
00:19:38.91\00:19:43.51
and the filling
ingredients include.
00:19:43.55\00:19:47.08
And you will need
a stainless skillet.
00:20:19.21\00:20:21.55
Now let's get started.
00:20:21.58\00:20:23.75
For our filling,
what we are going to do,
00:20:23.79\00:20:28.82
we will take some dates which
I really like, they're sweet
00:20:28.86\00:20:38.47
and I like the
texture of them as well.
00:20:38.50\00:20:41.77
You can get them at
your local grocery store or
00:20:41.80\00:20:44.27
health food. Now we
are also going to put in
00:20:44.31\00:20:47.64
our cashew butter. Next
we'll put some coconut oil
00:20:47.68\00:21:11.13
some honey, and then you
will also add some carob powder.
00:21:11.17\00:21:32.85
Ok. So now we are going
to let it blend, you can add
00:21:32.89\00:21:45.03
a little bit of water if you
like to help it blend better.
00:21:45.07\00:21:47.24
It's up to you how
thick you want your filling,
00:21:47.27\00:21:52.07
it's all up to you. So if you
like it thick, then you don't
00:21:52.11\00:21:55.14
need to add water.
00:21:55.18\00:21:56.51
If you would like it to be
a little bit more liquid...
00:21:56.54\00:21:58.51
have more liquid,
then add some water.
00:21:58.55\00:22:00.42
So let's get
started, we'll blend this.
00:22:00.45\00:22:02.62
All right, so we
blended up everything
00:22:19.73\00:22:22.90
and now these dates are
really thick so this will be a
00:22:22.94\00:22:30.85
very thick filler.
00:22:30.88\00:22:33.72
So when you are done, you
will fill your crepe with it.
00:22:33.75\00:22:38.49
Now let's get
started on our crepe mixture.
00:22:38.52\00:22:41.86
Now for this we will take
our flour, we will add our milk,
00:22:41.89\00:22:54.60
some vanilla to taste, Chia
seeds and another great thing
00:22:54.64\00:23:10.42
about Chia seeds is
they are full of fiber,
00:23:10.45\00:23:12.75
so when eating them, it really
acts like a broom within your
00:23:12.79\00:23:16.59
system. It helps get rid
of toxins and things that your
00:23:16.62\00:23:19.29
body does not need.
00:23:19.33\00:23:20.66
So having fiber in your diet
is really good and nutritious,
00:23:20.70\00:23:24.53
it's a really good, healthy
thing to do and essentially
00:23:24.57\00:23:28.17
when we eat, we can actually be
preventative for future things
00:23:28.20\00:23:32.14
that could come, so
desserts you could have every
00:23:32.17\00:23:35.04
once in a while. That's why
we only have one show of this,
00:23:35.08\00:23:37.91
so you can have
desserts every once in a while,
00:23:38.15\00:23:39.58
but when you are eating, it
is really important to know that
00:23:39.61\00:23:43.42
what we eat can also
impact us in a positive way
00:23:43.45\00:23:46.96
so eating plant based foods
is something that I have found
00:23:46.99\00:23:49.66
to be really helpful.
00:23:49.69\00:23:51.13
So now we are going to
put some Chia seed in here
00:23:51.16\00:23:53.33
and you can put a little
salt to taste and we will mix
00:23:53.36\00:24:10.25
and let all the
ingredients come together...
00:24:18.55\00:24:20.79
Alrighty. You can
add some water as well.
00:24:29.23\00:24:32.50
I really like this mixture
because you can use it for
00:24:44.41\00:24:47.42
many things, you can
make savory out of it,
00:24:47.45\00:24:50.32
you can also make dessert
out of it like we are doing now.
00:24:50.35\00:24:54.46
The key to this is
giving it some time to sit
00:24:54.49\00:24:57.39
and you can put it
in your refrigerator for
00:24:57.43\00:25:01.76
a couple minutes, like
30 minutes or two hours
00:25:01.80\00:25:06.77
and you just want to
give it a chance to combine
00:25:06.80\00:25:09.94
and become one.
00:25:09.97\00:25:12.54
You can put a
little more water in there.
00:25:12.57\00:25:16.44
And this is where you can
get creative when you are making
00:25:16.48\00:25:21.28
your crepes, you can fill
it with whatever you like.
00:25:21.32\00:25:24.32
So this is the
filler for the crepe,
00:25:24.35\00:25:27.72
it has the Chia seeds
inside and it's full of fiber
00:25:27.76\00:25:34.70
with the Chia
seeds, which I like.
00:25:34.73\00:25:37.73
Alright, so now we are
going to turn on our stove...
00:25:37.77\00:25:46.57
We can have...if you have like
a non-stick pan that's great
00:25:46.61\00:25:52.18
or you can put a little bit
of water, something in the base
00:25:52.21\00:25:54.75
so it doesn't stick.
00:25:54.78\00:25:56.82
Then we'll get ready to
pour in mixture, so remember,
00:25:56.85\00:26:01.12
when you make this, you
want to make sure you let it sit
00:26:01.16\00:26:04.09
in the refrigerator for
30 minutes to an hour or two
00:26:04.13\00:26:09.60
if possible.
00:26:09.63\00:26:11.50
So after it sits, you will
pour your mixture into your pan
00:26:11.53\00:26:25.05
and essentially a
crepe is a very thin pancake.
00:26:25.08\00:26:43.60
So you just want to allow it
to fill and spread out in your
00:26:43.63\00:26:49.40
skillet and then you
will let it cook on each side
00:26:49.44\00:26:56.08
for two to three
minutes and flip it.
00:26:56.11\00:26:58.55
And when you are done, you
will fill it with your favorite
00:26:58.58\00:27:02.65
fruits such as pineapples,
we have strawberries, oranges,
00:27:02.68\00:27:08.46
and then you will
top it off with our
00:27:08.49\00:27:11.29
delicious carob filling...
00:27:11.33\00:27:13.86
So that's essentially
how you make your crepe,
00:27:13.90\00:27:16.73
your Doux Crepe. So thank
you so much for cooking with us,
00:27:16.77\00:27:20.57
we've made a lot today.
Let's look at what we made.
00:27:20.60\00:27:22.54
We made a delicious brownie
topped off with some walnuts
00:27:22.57\00:27:28.01
and you at home can
also top it off with some
00:27:28.04\00:27:30.48
strawberry glaze. All you
do is just pour it on top.
00:27:30.51\00:27:34.82
We also made a mango
smoothie and a Doux Crepe.
00:27:34.85\00:27:42.66
These are unique
desserts you have to try.
00:27:42.69\00:27:45.19
And ultimately, it's been
a pleasure cooking with you
