Do you throw out
your good eating habits
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.86
when it's party time?
00:00:02.90\00:00:04.23
Stay tuned for
healthy party food ideas.
00:00:04.27\00:00:06.67
Hello, I'm Marcella Lynch.
00:00:26.49\00:00:28.16
This is Food For Thought,
00:00:28.19\00:00:29.69
the cooking show that
features God's eating plan
00:00:29.72\00:00:32.49
as unfolded through Scripture
00:00:32.53\00:00:34.46
and through an understanding
of God's other book,
00:00:34.50\00:00:37.10
the book of nature.
00:00:37.13\00:00:39.23
Funny thing happens
when people get together
00:00:39.27\00:00:41.80
to celebrate events
and attitude takes over
00:00:41.84\00:00:45.31
that it's a party
and anything goes.
00:00:45.34\00:00:48.31
For some reason people let loose
00:00:48.34\00:00:50.58
and serve all
those choice tidbits
00:00:50.61\00:00:52.78
that are too
rich, too fattening,
00:00:52.81\00:00:55.65
too high in cholesterol,
00:00:55.68\00:00:57.02
and too decadent.
00:00:57.05\00:00:58.99
Most people over eat,
00:00:59.02\00:01:01.32
then when the party's
over they feel over indulged.
00:01:01.36\00:01:04.83
And it takes several
days to feel normal again.
00:01:04.86\00:01:08.53
Today's class will feature
a variety of healthful snacks
00:01:08.56\00:01:11.73
and party foods.
00:01:11.77\00:01:13.47
Now celebration is an
important part of life.
00:01:13.50\00:01:16.44
Parties bring
special memories and bonds
00:01:16.47\00:01:19.31
between family and friends.
00:01:19.34\00:01:21.81
When Jesus started His
earthly ministry here on earth,
00:01:21.84\00:01:24.55
His first miracle
was at a wedding party.
00:01:24.58\00:01:28.18
And it lasted for three days.
00:01:28.22\00:01:30.55
He turned water into wine.
00:01:30.59\00:01:33.05
I'm glad Jesus
liked to have fun.
00:01:33.09\00:01:36.02
Being cheerful
keeps you healthy.
00:01:36.06\00:01:38.36
It is slow death to
be gloomy all the time.
00:01:38.39\00:01:41.56
Proverb 17:22,
reminds us that a merry heart
00:01:41.60\00:01:46.10
does good like a medicine,
00:01:46.13\00:01:48.50
but a broken
spirit dries the bone.
00:01:48.54\00:01:52.74
It seems evident from reading
various passages of Scripture
00:01:52.77\00:01:56.98
that people in the Bible times
00:01:57.01\00:01:59.01
knew it was
unhealthful and unwise
00:01:59.05\00:02:01.35
to overeat a
delicious delicacies.
00:02:01.38\00:02:03.95
Found another
interesting scripture here
00:02:03.99\00:02:05.82
in Proverbs 23:1-3.
00:02:05.85\00:02:09.72
And it says, "When
you sit down to eat
00:02:09.76\00:02:12.29
with the ruler
00:02:12.33\00:02:13.80
consider
carefully what is before you
00:02:13.83\00:02:16.93
and put a knife to your throat.
00:02:16.97\00:02:19.47
If you are a man
given to appetite,
00:02:19.50\00:02:22.17
do not desire his delicacies,
00:02:22.20\00:02:25.07
for they are deceptive foods."
00:02:25.11\00:02:29.34
When we overeat a rich
food, we are not clear minded
00:02:29.38\00:02:32.55
to discuss important
matters and make wise choices
00:02:32.58\00:02:35.85
just as we are
similarly affected
00:02:35.88\00:02:38.35
by alcoholic beverages.
00:02:38.39\00:02:40.92
There is one more text
I like to share with you
00:02:40.96\00:02:42.96
in Psalm 141.
00:02:42.99\00:02:46.09
And it says,
00:02:46.13\00:02:48.10
"Do not incline my
heart to any evil thing
00:02:48.13\00:02:51.50
to practice wicked works
with men who work iniquity.
00:02:51.53\00:02:55.87
And do not let me
eat of their delicacies."
00:02:55.90\00:03:00.08
The Apostle Paul as
the health reformer,
00:03:00.11\00:03:03.11
he was a health reformer.
00:03:03.14\00:03:05.05
He said, "I keep under my body,
and bring it into subjection:
00:03:05.08\00:03:09.35
lest that by any means,
when I have preached to others,
00:03:09.38\00:03:14.39
I myself should be a castaway."
00:03:14.42\00:03:17.29
He felt that a
responsibility rested upon him
00:03:17.33\00:03:21.26
to preserve all his
powers in their strength
00:03:21.30\00:03:25.00
that he might use
them to the glory of God.
00:03:25.03\00:03:28.97
Overeating is
the sin of the age.
00:03:29.00\00:03:32.27
The Word of God
places the sin of gluttony
00:03:32.31\00:03:35.34
in the same
category with drunkenness.
00:03:35.38\00:03:39.41
It destroys a
person's usefulness to others.
00:03:39.45\00:03:42.85
It weakens the
body and the mind,
00:03:42.88\00:03:44.69
and brings ultimately sickness.
00:03:44.72\00:03:47.66
The digestive organs
break down under the stress
00:03:47.69\00:03:50.43
and strain of the overwork.
00:03:50.46\00:03:53.16
When I plan snacks for parties,
00:03:53.19\00:03:54.76
I think of foods that are light,
00:03:54.80\00:03:56.43
and easy to
digest, and refreshing.
00:03:56.46\00:03:59.40
And so today our
class is on party foods
00:03:59.43\00:04:02.10
and we're getting
ready to have a party here.
00:04:02.14\00:04:05.44
And Myrna is
here to help me today.
00:04:05.47\00:04:07.74
And I'd like to say, Myrna,
00:04:07.78\00:04:09.64
that I have a lot of
memories of you and I
00:04:09.68\00:04:11.38
doing parties together.
00:04:11.41\00:04:12.75
That's true.
00:04:12.78\00:04:14.12
We've actually known each other
since our children were young
00:04:14.15\00:04:17.15
and we work
together at the school
00:04:17.19\00:04:19.55
where we both work.
00:04:19.59\00:04:20.92
And so we do a
lot of party planning.
00:04:20.96\00:04:23.19
So I'm glad to have
your assistance here today.
00:04:23.22\00:04:26.06
This looks like
fun. Let's get going.
00:04:26.09\00:04:27.76
Let's invite some of those kids
that we have at school over.
00:04:27.80\00:04:31.03
I hope they will like it.
00:04:31.07\00:04:32.73
We have a whole array of
things waiting to show you here.
00:04:32.77\00:04:35.84
And let's just
start with what's here.
00:04:35.87\00:04:37.57
We have some
wonderful vegetable relishes.
00:04:37.61\00:04:39.67
That's a really
health food, isn't it?
00:04:39.71\00:04:41.81
That's from God's
natural plant sources.
00:04:41.84\00:04:44.81
And we want to demonstrate
first this dip here that
00:04:44.85\00:04:47.62
that's in the center.
00:04:47.65\00:04:49.38
This is the interesting dip
that starts with tofu actually.
00:04:49.42\00:04:53.46
The tofu walnut-olive dip.
00:04:53.49\00:04:55.52
Now this recipe
is not in our Cooking
00:04:55.56\00:04:57.83
by the Book cookbook.
00:04:57.86\00:04:59.19
A lot of our recipes,
most of them are in the book.
00:04:59.23\00:05:01.13
But for today's
class we've brought in
00:05:01.16\00:05:03.57
a few other recipes.
00:05:03.60\00:05:05.00
But at the end of the show,
we'll give you some information
00:05:05.03\00:05:07.74
where you can order the
book if you would like a copy.
00:05:07.77\00:05:12.01
Right, so we're going to
talk about walnut-olive dip.
00:05:12.04\00:05:16.21
And let's first of all
take a look at the ingredients.
00:05:16.24\00:05:19.85
Walnut-olive dip is:
00:05:19.88\00:05:21.95
So this is a very simple recipe.
00:05:36.00\00:05:38.20
And I just like
to use the blender
00:05:38.23\00:05:39.83
because it's a
very quick thing to do.
00:05:39.87\00:05:42.67
And then when
we get all finished
00:05:42.70\00:05:44.24
mixing the
mixture in the blender,
00:05:44.27\00:05:45.87
we will fold in two
tablespoons of walnuts
00:05:45.91\00:05:48.21
that have been finally chopped,
00:05:48.24\00:05:50.38
and four
teaspoons of black olives
00:05:50.41\00:05:52.35
that have been chopped.
00:05:52.38\00:05:53.72
This dip will make about
one and three fourths cups
00:05:53.75\00:05:56.69
all together.
00:05:56.72\00:05:58.72
All right, so let's just...
00:05:58.75\00:06:00.56
This is a package of tofu
00:06:00.59\00:06:02.09
that we've
drained the liquid off,
00:06:02.12\00:06:03.83
it always
accumulates more as it sits.
00:06:03.86\00:06:06.93
So here we'll just put
this one half pound of tofu
00:06:06.96\00:06:09.60
in the blender
00:06:09.63\00:06:11.17
and the other ingredients
00:06:11.20\00:06:12.53
will just go right here with it.
00:06:12.57\00:06:15.40
So we have the lemon juice.
00:06:15.44\00:06:17.67
We have that little
bit of sugar and salt here
00:06:20.94\00:06:23.14
that it mentioned.
00:06:23.18\00:06:25.71
It's nice that you've got
these things all measured out
00:06:25.75\00:06:28.18
so nicely for us, Myrna.
00:06:28.22\00:06:30.02
It really does help
to cook fast, does it?
00:06:30.05\00:06:31.85
Yeah.
00:06:31.89\00:06:33.22
I'll let you go ahead
00:06:33.25\00:06:34.59
and put these
olives and walnuts here
00:06:34.62\00:06:35.96
and stir this dipped together
00:06:35.99\00:06:37.33
when I get this
all whizzed up here.
00:06:37.36\00:06:40.40
This makes a nice
creamy smooth mixture.
00:06:40.43\00:06:42.66
I like dips and recipes
that are quick and easy.
00:06:57.55\00:07:00.82
And this seems to be one.
00:07:00.85\00:07:02.48
Let's just go ahead and
mix in some of the olives
00:07:02.52\00:07:05.69
and nuts and that's it.
00:07:05.72\00:07:07.12
It's very tasty.
00:07:07.16\00:07:08.49
We were kind of like
taken a sneak preview
00:07:08.52\00:07:10.43
just before the class.
00:07:10.46\00:07:11.79
That's true.
00:07:11.83\00:07:13.16
And this is exactly
what we have right here
00:07:13.19\00:07:14.76
in the center.
00:07:14.80\00:07:16.13
And this is nice to
serve with the parties
00:07:16.16\00:07:17.50
if you have chips,
vegetable relishes.
00:07:17.53\00:07:19.93
These happen to be baked chips
with no salt or fat on them.
00:07:19.97\00:07:24.47
And they're just
really wonderful.
00:07:24.51\00:07:26.54
And then
another fun idea, Myrna,
00:07:26.57\00:07:28.81
is this we have also
a platter to show you
00:07:28.84\00:07:31.31
of dried vegetables.
00:07:31.35\00:07:33.05
I don't know if any of
you are into dehydrating
00:07:33.08\00:07:35.95
fruits and vegetables.
00:07:35.98\00:07:37.32
But Myrna and I both do that.
00:07:37.35\00:07:39.39
And you can dry a lot of
different kind of vegetables
00:07:39.42\00:07:42.06
and then when fresh
things are not available
00:07:42.09\00:07:44.66
or they're more expensive,
you can just use dried ones.
00:07:44.69\00:07:47.76
And so this is a
different dip recipe
00:07:47.80\00:07:49.93
that we have with this one.
00:07:49.96\00:07:52.63
But aren't those lovely.
00:07:52.67\00:07:54.00
These are summer squash,
00:07:54.04\00:07:55.50
these are those
little yellow summer squash.
00:07:55.54\00:07:58.24
And we have here
some dried zucchini,
00:07:58.27\00:08:00.44
they make wonderful chips.
00:08:00.48\00:08:02.08
We have dried
carrots, dried tomatoes,
00:08:02.11\00:08:05.55
and this is
called dip called hummus.
00:08:05.58\00:08:07.98
And we're going to
give you the ingredients
00:08:08.02\00:08:09.42
for this hummus
recipe right now.
00:08:09.45\00:08:11.79
And this is kind
of a Middle Eastern
00:08:11.82\00:08:13.66
kind of a dip
starting with garbanzos.
00:08:13.69\00:08:15.79
But just whiz all of that up.
00:08:50.93\00:08:52.83
I guess we can just do that,
00:08:52.86\00:08:54.26
we can use this exact
same blender right here,
00:08:54.30\00:08:56.77
and we'll just show
you how that one goes.
00:08:56.80\00:08:59.50
We'll put the garbanzos...
00:08:59.53\00:09:00.87
This is one whole can.
00:09:00.90\00:09:02.77
We'll just put it
right here in the blender
00:09:02.80\00:09:05.74
with the sesame
tahini, we call this.
00:09:05.77\00:09:10.98
This is very nutritious,
nut butter, sesame seed butter.
00:09:11.01\00:09:16.05
Marcella, I have
to tell you that,
00:09:16.08\00:09:17.55
you know, when
you're in kitchen,
00:09:17.59\00:09:19.05
sometimes we have to substitute.
00:09:19.09\00:09:20.82
Right.
00:09:20.86\00:09:22.19
Well, I didn't
find the garlic today.
00:09:22.22\00:09:24.19
So I substituted
with some garlic powder.
00:09:24.23\00:09:26.49
Garlic powder, well,
that sounds good to me.
00:09:26.53\00:09:29.36
And what is this one,
that looks like the cumin.
00:09:29.40\00:09:31.37
That's cumin. And
this is the water.
00:09:31.40\00:09:33.90
Let's wait and see
how much we need to make.
00:09:33.94\00:09:35.64
This is the
juice off the garbanzos
00:09:35.67\00:09:37.71
to make it the
right consistency.
00:09:37.74\00:09:39.71
It probably will
need a little of that.
00:09:39.74\00:09:41.54
That was working, wasn't it?
00:10:21.18\00:10:22.82
That's nice and
thick. That's great.
00:10:22.85\00:10:25.45
I love this hummus
if you've ever eaten
00:10:25.49\00:10:27.22
at a Middle Eastern restaurant.
00:10:27.26\00:10:29.19
I want to put this
here where we can see it
00:10:29.22\00:10:31.56
a little bit better here.
00:10:31.59\00:10:35.56
I love this
because it's so nutritious
00:10:35.60\00:10:37.90
and tasty.
00:10:37.93\00:10:40.70
I don't know if you've
ever eaten those falafel.
00:10:40.74\00:10:44.11
Oh, I love them.
00:10:44.14\00:10:45.47
Pocket
sandwiches, I make those too
00:10:45.51\00:10:47.68
and this is
kind of a hummus dip,
00:10:47.71\00:10:49.81
that's nice for that.
00:10:49.84\00:10:51.18
So this the hummus dip.
00:10:51.21\00:10:52.55
And this is delicious.
00:10:52.58\00:10:53.92
I'll let you take this off.
00:10:53.95\00:10:55.28
That's exactly what we
have right here in this tray
00:10:55.32\00:10:58.45
with the vegetable dip.
00:10:58.49\00:10:59.82
And it also could
be used for the chips
00:10:59.85\00:11:02.19
and for all of the
other dip type foods
00:11:02.22\00:11:05.26
that you might want
to serve at a party.
00:11:05.29\00:11:07.56
So you can
actually have the chips
00:11:07.60\00:11:09.20
and the dips at your party
00:11:09.23\00:11:10.57
without all the
fat and the salt.
00:11:10.60\00:11:11.93
And it's really kind
of a conversation piece
00:11:11.97\00:11:13.90
to have all these
different vegetables,
00:11:13.94\00:11:15.44
especially the dried
ones that are kind of unusual.
00:11:15.47\00:11:19.14
All right.
00:11:19.17\00:11:20.51
Now another thing
that you see often
00:11:20.54\00:11:22.28
when you celebrate with friends,
00:11:22.31\00:11:23.78
especially in the patio
in the backyard is kebabs.
00:11:23.81\00:11:28.48
We're going to make some
vegetable shish kebabs now.
00:11:28.52\00:11:32.65
And let's see,
00:11:32.69\00:11:34.02
I don't think I
need the blender.
00:11:34.06\00:11:35.39
Let's move that out of the way.
00:11:35.42\00:11:37.36
And I'll take this off.
00:11:37.39\00:11:38.96
You want to take those off
00:11:38.99\00:11:40.33
and then we'll
bring back a little later.
00:11:40.36\00:11:43.13
We have one more
tray that goes with this.
00:11:43.16\00:11:46.13
Okay, we'll talk
about the recipe first.
00:11:46.17\00:11:49.44
The recipe is in kind
of several steps here.
00:11:49.47\00:11:52.64
And mainly you just select
00:11:52.67\00:11:54.74
whatever kinds of
things you want here.
00:11:54.78\00:11:57.38
This recipe is not in the book
00:11:57.41\00:11:59.31
and it's a little bit
long to show you on the screen.
00:11:59.35\00:12:01.98
So I'm just gonna
talk to you about it,
00:12:02.02\00:12:04.22
but we'll send you this
recipe when you order the book.
00:12:04.25\00:12:07.22
So any of the recipes
that are not in the book,
00:12:07.26\00:12:09.29
you're gonna get them
if you order the book.
00:12:09.32\00:12:11.59
So you just make your selection
00:12:11.63\00:12:12.96
of some
different colorful things.
00:12:12.99\00:12:14.56
And if you use
some of the gluten meat,
00:12:14.60\00:12:17.53
the vegetarian meat
00:12:17.57\00:12:18.90
like we demonstrated in
one of our last few classes,
00:12:18.93\00:12:22.34
or you can use that for
the meat on your skewers,
00:12:22.37\00:12:25.44
or you could use tofu.
00:12:25.47\00:12:28.41
And here today we have the tofu
00:12:28.44\00:12:30.25
on our shish kebab sticks.
00:12:30.28\00:12:31.95
And here's what
you do to the tofu.
00:12:31.98\00:12:34.18
First of all, you make
a homemade teriyaki sauce.
00:12:34.22\00:12:36.92
Now the reason we
home make so many things
00:12:36.95\00:12:39.25
is just because
the teriyaki sauces
00:12:39.29\00:12:42.02
and all the other kind of sauces
00:12:42.06\00:12:44.39
are so full of vinegar
and spices when you buy them
00:12:44.43\00:12:47.13
that we have found ways
to make them very appetizing
00:12:47.16\00:12:50.33
with just natural things.
00:12:50.37\00:12:52.47
So the teriyaki sauce,
00:12:52.50\00:12:54.07
you can start
with two cups of...
00:12:54.10\00:12:55.84
This is a humongous amount,
00:12:55.87\00:12:57.21
I'm not sure you
need to make this much.
00:12:57.24\00:12:58.84
But it's two cups of soy
sauce, one half cup lemon juice,
00:12:58.87\00:13:03.45
one half cup water,
00:13:03.48\00:13:05.45
one and a half
tablespoons onion powder,
00:13:05.48\00:13:08.28
and one teaspoon garlic powder,
and a half a cup of honey,
00:13:08.32\00:13:12.05
it's kind of that sweet sour.
00:13:12.09\00:13:13.89
So you just mix this together
00:13:13.92\00:13:15.26
and you get about
three and a half cups.
00:13:15.29\00:13:16.83
And this is what you kind
of marinate the gluten chunks
00:13:16.86\00:13:19.73
or the tofu chunks into
so that the flavor is there.
00:13:19.76\00:13:23.10
And then you just put
these on a cookie sheet
00:13:23.13\00:13:25.53
and you bake these in the oven
at 350 for about 20 minutes.
00:13:25.57\00:13:29.70
So that's the way
these have been done here.
00:13:29.74\00:13:32.37
And when you get that finish,
00:13:32.41\00:13:33.74
then you just start putting
on some of your vegetables
00:13:33.78\00:13:37.65
right on to the sticks here.
00:13:37.68\00:13:39.31
And you can buy these
wooden shish kebabs sticks
00:13:39.35\00:13:41.98
in most places.
00:13:42.02\00:13:43.35
We just found these
very easily in the market.
00:13:43.39\00:13:46.49
Here I've got one
just about ready to add
00:13:46.52\00:13:48.69
a couple more things here.
00:13:48.72\00:13:51.53
And there we have it.
00:13:51.56\00:13:52.89
And these are going
to be baked in the oven.
00:13:52.93\00:13:58.27
And we don't have
a cookie sheet here,
00:13:58.30\00:14:00.14
but this is a pie plate.
00:14:00.17\00:14:01.80
We have another sauce,
00:14:01.84\00:14:03.17
you might want to jot this down,
00:14:03.20\00:14:04.54
this is what we call
our shish kebab sauce.
00:14:04.57\00:14:09.08
And let me just tell you
what's in this sauce here.
00:14:09.11\00:14:11.48
So I think it's wonderful that
you can get that sweet and sour
00:14:30.20\00:14:32.93
and all this nice flavor
without the irritating things.
00:14:32.97\00:14:36.17
So what you do is you
mix up the sauce here.
00:14:36.20\00:14:38.97
And as you can
see, it's been sprinkled
00:14:39.01\00:14:40.88
right on some of these things
00:14:40.91\00:14:42.24
like you can just
kind of like sprinkle it on
00:14:42.28\00:14:44.11
and kind of give
it some more flavor.
00:14:44.15\00:14:47.75
And then these
are baked in the oven.
00:14:47.78\00:14:50.79
And let's see,
00:14:50.82\00:14:52.15
the temperature for
this part of it is also 350
00:14:52.19\00:14:56.39
and it takes 5-7 minutes.
00:14:56.42\00:14:59.16
And you put these on
a sprayed cookie sheet.
00:14:59.19\00:15:02.56
So that's one of the items
that you can make for parties
00:15:02.60\00:15:05.43
and they're very popular.
00:15:05.47\00:15:08.30
I'll just take this out and
go and bake them a little more.
00:15:08.34\00:15:11.67
See if we can...
00:15:11.71\00:15:13.04
Good. That's great.
00:15:13.07\00:15:14.41
There's more
exciting things here.
00:15:14.44\00:15:16.38
Excuse me. Right.
00:15:16.41\00:15:17.75
And while you're doing
that, we're going to talk about
00:15:17.78\00:15:19.18
the next one
we're going to show you
00:15:19.21\00:15:20.55
is tofu spaghetti sauce,
00:15:20.58\00:15:23.32
spaghetti balls
with sort of a sauce,
00:15:23.35\00:15:25.45
a sweet and sour
sauce over the top.
00:15:25.49\00:15:27.59
People like these finger foods,
00:15:27.62\00:15:29.16
you know, with that sweet
and sour is kind of popular.
00:15:29.19\00:15:31.36
So we have found a way
to make it very healthful
00:15:31.39\00:15:33.50
sweet and sour sauce.
00:15:33.53\00:15:35.26
And we're going to
show you that one next.
00:15:35.30\00:15:37.87
And if you do have the cookbook,
00:15:37.90\00:15:39.80
the tofu spaghetti bowl
recipe that we have here
00:15:39.83\00:15:43.17
is on page 128,
00:15:43.20\00:15:45.41
that we will talk
about the ingredients
00:15:45.44\00:15:47.28
in case you don't have the book.
00:15:47.31\00:15:48.84
And I know we're
reading recipes way too fast
00:15:48.88\00:15:51.11
for you to probably copy down
00:15:51.15\00:15:52.58
because we're crowding
all of this into half an hour
00:15:52.61\00:15:54.92
and we're just
trying to give you
00:15:54.95\00:15:56.32
as many ideas as we can.
00:15:56.35\00:15:58.29
But aren't these lovely
kind of like non meatballs
00:15:58.32\00:16:01.72
made from tofu
and other ingredients.
00:16:01.76\00:16:04.26
All right, so the ingredients
00:16:04.29\00:16:06.16
for the tofu spaghetti balls is:
00:16:06.19\00:16:09.23
Right.
00:16:38.09\00:16:39.43
Now you just take
that and you make it
00:16:39.46\00:16:41.20
into the shape of
the meatballs instead of
00:16:41.23\00:16:43.90
or you could fry
these as patties,
00:16:43.93\00:16:45.80
and these are kind of nice
for like veggie burger patties
00:16:45.83\00:16:48.97
for or like a
hamburger patty also.
00:16:49.00\00:16:51.47
But we've just shaped them
00:16:51.51\00:16:52.91
and we brown these on a
cookie sheet in the oven.
00:16:52.94\00:16:56.14
And if you do it in the oven,
00:16:56.18\00:16:57.58
then you just do it at
about 350 for about 30 minutes.
00:16:57.61\00:17:02.78
And that's all you need to do.
00:17:02.82\00:17:04.55
And then these are nice
00:17:04.59\00:17:05.92
with the sweet
and sour sauce here.
00:17:05.95\00:17:08.19
This is a nice
sweet and sour sauce here.
00:17:08.22\00:17:10.66
It looks quite
similar to the kind
00:17:10.69\00:17:12.29
that you would
get if you went to eat
00:17:12.33\00:17:14.03
some kind of oriental meal.
00:17:14.06\00:17:16.26
And it's very nice.
00:17:16.30\00:17:17.63
I'm going to tell
you about that now.
00:17:17.67\00:17:19.93
The sweet and sour sauce.
00:17:19.97\00:17:22.77
So here are the ingredients:
00:17:22.80\00:17:24.14
And what you need to do here
is just to put it in a saucepan
00:17:43.59\00:17:46.96
over medium heat and
stir it with a wire weapon
00:17:47.00\00:17:50.90
till it's thickened.
00:17:50.93\00:17:52.27
And then you can put
this in a pretty bowl,
00:17:52.30\00:17:54.67
it's surrounded
with your meatballs
00:17:54.70\00:17:56.71
and you can just serve
these at a party for meatballs,
00:17:56.74\00:18:00.14
either cold or warm.
00:18:00.18\00:18:02.74
And this is a
very nice way to get
00:18:02.78\00:18:04.88
a natural kind of
the sweet and sour.
00:18:04.91\00:18:07.65
So you'll use the
pineapple sweetness
00:18:07.68\00:18:10.42
and you use the
lemon juice tartness
00:18:10.45\00:18:12.15
which is God's natural way.
00:18:12.19\00:18:15.02
So that's another quick one.
00:18:15.06\00:18:17.26
Now if I had somebody
just magically make those,
00:18:17.29\00:18:20.06
I could throw a party
quite often, couldn't I?
00:18:20.10\00:18:22.20
Looks like we're
making a lot of things here
00:18:22.23\00:18:23.80
pretty fast.
00:18:23.83\00:18:25.83
Okay.
00:18:25.87\00:18:27.20
What we want to do
next is to show you
00:18:27.24\00:18:29.80
a platter of
some sandwich things
00:18:29.84\00:18:32.87
that are fun to make
00:18:32.91\00:18:34.44
when you have a
party to celebrate.
00:18:34.48\00:18:38.68
We just want you to see that
commercially available products
00:18:38.71\00:18:42.42
can be used too, and
these are all meatless.
00:18:42.45\00:18:44.92
Did we bring the packages
00:18:44.95\00:18:46.29
of this meatless
sandwich lunchmeat here?
00:18:46.32\00:18:49.82
I have them right here for you.
00:18:49.86\00:18:51.59
Okay.
00:18:51.63\00:18:52.96
These products that you see here
00:18:52.99\00:18:54.33
on the platter
are not meat at all,
00:18:54.36\00:18:56.60
but they look like lunch meat.
00:18:56.63\00:18:58.03
Actually there's many
different kinds available
00:18:58.07\00:19:00.34
and you will
probably find some of these
00:19:00.37\00:19:02.07
in your natural food stores.
00:19:02.10\00:19:04.01
But I have some
of the packages here
00:19:04.04\00:19:05.64
just to kind of
give you an idea.
00:19:05.67\00:19:07.04
This is called
meatless wham instead of a ham.
00:19:07.08\00:19:10.88
And you can do lots of
different things with this.
00:19:10.91\00:19:12.78
It's meatless vegetarian
00:19:12.81\00:19:14.38
and it's made from
a soy protein fiber.
00:19:14.42\00:19:18.69
Here's a meatless corned beef.
00:19:18.72\00:19:21.72
Similar product with a
little different flavor.
00:19:21.76\00:19:23.89
It's made out of
the soy protein fiber.
00:19:23.93\00:19:26.29
And here we have the
meatless corned beef.
00:19:26.33\00:19:28.66
So we have just
used the variety of these
00:19:28.70\00:19:31.93
to make a nice
beautiful lunch platter.
00:19:31.97\00:19:34.80
And if you serve some kind of
00:19:34.84\00:19:36.17
nice little whole
wheat dinner rolls
00:19:36.20\00:19:37.91
and some of that
homemade menus and mustard
00:19:37.94\00:19:39.81
that we've shown
you in other classes,
00:19:39.84\00:19:41.84
it goes really nice for them
to come along your buffet line
00:19:41.88\00:19:44.68
and help themselves
to some sandwich things.
00:19:44.71\00:19:47.28
These are the
commercially available cheeses.
00:19:47.32\00:19:49.88
There's a quite a number now
of the various nondairy cheeses
00:19:49.92\00:19:54.22
that are in the supermarkets.
00:19:54.26\00:19:55.59
And they taste really
quite nice like mozzarella,
00:19:55.62\00:19:57.89
they have one in jack cheese,
and cheddar type cheeses.
00:19:57.93\00:20:01.26
But they're really
not cholesterol at all.
00:20:01.30\00:20:05.37
So this is our cheese
00:20:05.40\00:20:08.04
and lunch meat
platter for the parties.
00:20:08.07\00:20:12.41
We thought, we'd
better show you a dessert
00:20:12.44\00:20:14.28
before we finish our party here.
00:20:14.31\00:20:17.15
We wouldn't want to have
a party without a dessert.
00:20:17.18\00:20:19.28
We're going to
make some carob pudding
00:20:19.31\00:20:22.18
and some cookies here
00:20:22.22\00:20:23.65
that could go
nicely for a party.
00:20:23.69\00:20:25.75
And the recipe for the
pudding is on page 222 here
00:20:25.79\00:20:29.69
in the cookbook.
00:20:29.72\00:20:31.06
It's actually
called carob cream pie
00:20:31.09\00:20:32.93
here in the book.
00:20:32.96\00:20:34.30
And we're just going
to use it in like pudding.
00:20:34.33\00:20:36.93
And if you want to go
ahead, Myrna, and bring that...
00:20:36.97\00:20:40.04
I'll bring that
just in a minute.
00:20:40.07\00:20:41.40
Pudding so that
we can just show them
00:20:41.44\00:20:42.84
what that looks like here,
00:20:42.87\00:20:45.44
we'll show you how easy
it is to make carob pudding.
00:20:45.47\00:20:47.54
Now why carob pudding?
00:20:47.58\00:20:49.24
It just so happens that
chocolate is not a health food.
00:20:49.28\00:20:54.68
Whoa, there it
is. That's so pretty.
00:20:54.72\00:20:56.95
This is the carob
pudding right here in the glass.
00:20:56.99\00:20:59.15
And these are some other cookies
00:20:59.19\00:21:00.52
we're gonna talk to
you about those too.
00:21:00.56\00:21:02.69
But chocolate is high in fat
00:21:02.72\00:21:05.03
and chocolate contains
caffeine and theobromine
00:21:05.06\00:21:08.13
which are
irritating chemical substances.
00:21:08.16\00:21:12.73
And it's just more bitter.
00:21:12.77\00:21:15.00
And so it takes
more sugar added to it
00:21:15.04\00:21:17.41
when they make
chocolates in different ways.
00:21:17.44\00:21:19.57
Carob is not going to
taste exactly like chocolate.
00:21:19.61\00:21:22.34
But it's a very
nice alternative.
00:21:22.38\00:21:24.98
And so I buy the carob
powder, it looks here like this.
00:21:25.01\00:21:29.02
It's just very brown kind,
it looks like cocoa powder.
00:21:29.05\00:21:33.19
And you can buy this
in natural food stores
00:21:33.22\00:21:35.76
and use it in
place of chocolate,
00:21:35.79\00:21:37.46
you can make hot drinks
for like a hot chocolate
00:21:37.49\00:21:40.23
with it only it's carob.
00:21:40.26\00:21:41.60
And you can use it
00:21:41.63\00:21:42.96
for all different
kinds of cakes and desserts
00:21:43.00\00:21:45.23
and things like that.
00:21:45.27\00:21:46.60
And the nice thing about it
is that it isn't irritating.
00:21:46.63\00:21:48.87
It's actually
nutritious that has protein
00:21:48.90\00:21:51.21
and the B vitamins in it.
00:21:51.24\00:21:52.77
And it's sweet naturally.
00:21:52.81\00:21:54.74
So you don't have to add
as much sweet to compensate,
00:21:54.78\00:21:58.31
and it's low in fat.
00:21:58.35\00:21:59.68
So it's a very nice product.
00:21:59.71\00:22:01.42
And if you've
ever seen those trees
00:22:01.45\00:22:03.05
with those big brown pods,
00:22:03.08\00:22:04.79
they're the locust beans
00:22:04.82\00:22:06.15
that's what they
make as carob out of.
00:22:06.19\00:22:08.39
Now, got to find a blender here.
00:22:08.42\00:22:10.93
And we'll just
whiz this mixture up.
00:22:10.96\00:22:12.56
Let's take a look
at the ingredients list
00:22:12.59\00:22:14.50
for the carob cream pie:
00:22:14.53\00:22:16.93
All right, we're going
to take these ingredients,
00:22:43.63\00:22:45.56
and just put
them in the blender,
00:22:45.59\00:22:47.00
and whiz them up.
00:22:47.03\00:22:48.36
That's an easy way to do it.
00:22:48.40\00:22:49.73
So here we have the milk.
00:22:49.76\00:22:51.10
This is tofu
milk that we're using.
00:22:51.13\00:22:54.37
And we'll add the one
half teaspoon vanilla.
00:22:54.40\00:22:57.07
If you get more, it's okay.
00:23:00.61\00:23:03.35
And we have that carob powder
that we talked about here.
00:23:03.38\00:23:08.05
And the
cornstarch will thicken it.
00:23:08.08\00:23:10.19
And you just cook
this in the double boiler
00:23:10.22\00:23:11.85
and that cornstarch
just gets real nice here.
00:23:11.89\00:23:14.82
I'm going to borrow
this spoon right here
00:23:14.86\00:23:16.22
and see if we can
get that honey out.
00:23:16.26\00:23:19.09
This is the sweetness.
00:23:19.13\00:23:20.46
And if you want to use the dates
00:23:20.50\00:23:21.83
instead for the
sweet, that's fine too.
00:23:21.86\00:23:24.83
Cashews make it
creamy and smooth.
00:23:24.87\00:23:27.60
And that's it.
00:23:27.64\00:23:28.97
Oops, a little
tiny bit of salt here.
00:23:29.00\00:23:31.17
And here we go.
00:23:31.21\00:23:32.54
Let's just see if we
can whiz that up smooth.
00:23:32.57\00:23:34.74
Okay, this is going to go
00:23:58.20\00:23:59.53
into the top of a double boiler.
00:23:59.57\00:24:01.40
Remember that when
you use a double boiler,
00:24:01.44\00:24:03.61
you put a little
water in the pan underneath
00:24:03.64\00:24:05.77
and then on the
top we put the mixture.
00:24:05.81\00:24:08.48
And you put this over
like medium high heat.
00:24:08.51\00:24:11.98
And you just
stir once in a while
00:24:12.01\00:24:13.42
with your wire whip here.
00:24:13.45\00:24:15.25
And just keep working with
it until it gets nice and thick.
00:24:15.28\00:24:17.99
You know, you can
break cornstarch down
00:24:18.02\00:24:19.65
so that it's too runny.
00:24:19.69\00:24:21.02
So don't get on real high heat.
00:24:21.06\00:24:23.56
Hey, and then the
cookies that we have here
00:24:23.59\00:24:26.46
are called kitchen sink cookies
00:24:26.49\00:24:28.46
because they have so
many different things in them.
00:24:28.50\00:24:32.40
And the recipe is on
page 226 here in the cookbook.
00:24:32.43\00:24:37.11
We can't take
the time to tell you
00:24:37.14\00:24:39.41
the whole list of ingredients.
00:24:39.44\00:24:40.78
But these are so healthy
00:24:40.81\00:24:42.41
because they have
whole wheat flour,
00:24:42.44\00:24:43.78
soy flour, rolled
oats, coconut milk powder,
00:24:43.81\00:24:46.85
carob chips, nuts, sesame seeds,
00:24:46.88\00:24:48.68
all kind of different things.
00:24:48.72\00:24:50.42
And they're very
delicious, we've had a hard time
00:24:50.45\00:24:52.95
keeping our crew people
out of these cookies this week.
00:24:52.99\00:24:56.32
So here we have a lot of these
nice wonderful party foods here
00:24:56.36\00:25:01.36
that we've talked about today.
00:25:01.40\00:25:04.20
And we have
lined them all up here.
00:25:04.23\00:25:07.40
And here's...
00:25:07.44\00:25:08.77
Oh yes, one more idea
00:25:08.80\00:25:10.14
that we have
already to share with you.
00:25:10.17\00:25:11.51
We showed you how to
make whole wheat pizza
00:25:11.54\00:25:13.64
in one of the other classes
00:25:13.68\00:25:16.14
and we have this cashew
pimento cheese sauce recipe
00:25:16.18\00:25:19.61
that's back here
on about page 50.
00:25:19.65\00:25:22.22
Oops, no it's 80, page 80.
00:25:22.25\00:25:24.52
And this is a whizzed
up mixture in the blender
00:25:24.55\00:25:26.72
that takes the place
of your cheese sauce,
00:25:26.76\00:25:28.82
your cheese in the recipe.
00:25:28.86\00:25:30.19
So you take some
kind of a pizza sauce
00:25:30.23\00:25:32.99
and you put it over
your English muffin.
00:25:33.03\00:25:35.70
We've kind of toasted these
English muffins just a little
00:25:35.73\00:25:38.77
so that they're not real soft.
00:25:38.80\00:25:40.94
And then you put
the sauce over it,
00:25:40.97\00:25:43.20
and you sprinkle some of this
cashew pimento cheese on it,
00:25:43.24\00:25:47.74
sprinkle a little bit of onions,
00:25:47.78\00:25:50.21
or bell peppers,
or something on it.
00:25:50.25\00:25:52.28
And you put these
back on the cookie sheet
00:25:52.31\00:25:54.72
and you can
toast these in the oven
00:25:54.75\00:25:56.22
just like you would make
00:25:56.25\00:25:57.59
your little English muffin buns.
00:25:57.62\00:25:59.55
And these are
really, really nice
00:25:59.59\00:26:02.12
for individual
sandwiches for the party.
00:26:02.16\00:26:05.33
And I think these are
a hit with teenagers too.
00:26:05.36\00:26:09.03
I think so too.
00:26:09.06\00:26:10.40
And so again we
have the walnut-olive dip
00:26:10.43\00:26:12.60
made from the tofu here
with all the fresh vegetables.
00:26:12.63\00:26:16.30
I don't know if you're
into eating fresh vegetables,
00:26:16.34\00:26:19.71
but they're really wonderful.
00:26:19.74\00:26:21.54
Chew them well and
they digest beautifully.
00:26:21.58\00:26:24.01
And they're dried
vegetables that we have here
00:26:24.05\00:26:26.28
with the hummus.
00:26:26.31\00:26:28.42
There is that
garbanzo with the tahini,
00:26:28.45\00:26:30.62
sesame seed butter inside.
00:26:30.65\00:26:32.95
It is a very nice thing
and a conversation piece.
00:26:32.99\00:26:36.42
This will be the conversation
piece for your party
00:26:36.46\00:26:38.66
because not too many people
serve dried vegetable chips.
00:26:38.69\00:26:43.03
And our shish kebabs,
our vegetable shish kebab,
00:26:43.06\00:26:45.63
we haven't really baked these
00:26:45.67\00:26:47.00
and you would have
these baked a little bit.
00:26:47.04\00:26:48.60
But these are really nice
to have on a buffet table.
00:26:48.64\00:26:53.17
All right, and then
we have our carob pudding
00:26:53.21\00:26:55.18
and our kitchen
sink cookies here.
00:26:55.21\00:26:58.25
And lastly we
have our lunch meats,
00:26:58.28\00:27:01.52
and our cheeses, and
our other sandwich things.
00:27:01.55\00:27:06.19
And we're so glad that
you could join us today
00:27:06.22\00:27:08.09
for our party.
00:27:08.12\00:27:09.46
And we hope that you'll
try some of these things too.
00:27:09.49\00:27:11.66
