00:01 Is dessert your weakness?
00:02 Well, today, we're gonna teach you 00:04 how to make healthy desserts that are good for you 00:06 and yes, they're delicious. 00:41 Welcome to "Let's Cook Together." 00:43 Hi, I'm Barbara Nolen. 00:45 Today, we're going to be doing 00:46 some healthy, vegan dessert recipes 00:51 with our special guest cook today, Kyong Weathersby. 00:57 She is an inspired cook 00:59 that makes up so many of her own recipes, 01:01 she's got several cook books 01:02 and we're just so happy that she can be with us today. 01:05 Welcome to 3ABN, Kyong. 01:07 Oh, thank you for having me again. 01:09 I'm having a wonderful time cooking with you. 01:11 Well, likewise. Yeah. 01:13 What are we gonna be cooking today? 01:15 Well, today, you know, 01:16 a lot of people love to eat something sweet, 01:19 but they're always guilty about eating 01:22 something sweet after a day. Are you talking about me? 01:24 Maybe I'm talking about you, and my husband. 01:27 So this recipe I came out with is you can still eat, 01:31 but this is very high in fibers and vitamin B complex, 01:35 all that so you don't have to feel guilty about it. 01:38 So today's first recipe is Taste of Heaven Cookies. 01:42 Well, how did you come up with that name, Taste of Heaven? 01:45 Actually, my three cook books-- Oh, really? 01:48 Name is Taste of Heaven and this cookie recipe 01:51 is so special that I had to name it after my cookbook. Oh. 01:56 I don't usually like the sweet, 01:59 but I can eat 5 cookies at a time 02:00 and I don't feel guilty about that. 02:02 Well, that must be really good. Very delicious. 02:04 So, I guess we're going to start our recipe? 02:08 So would you like to read the ingredients? Yes. 02:11 The ingredients for the Taste of Heaven Cookies are: 02:37 Well, shall we make these cookies? 02:40 I can hardly wait. Okay. 02:42 First what we're gonna do is go ahead 02:45 and mix away the quick oats 02:48 and the whole wheat flour and this is oat flour 02:54 and just go and put some turbinado sugar. 02:57 I love to share that what turbinado sugar is? 03:00 When farmers bring the sugarcane to the factory-- Mm-hmm. 03:04 And the first sugar they process is the turbinado sugar. Really? 03:09 So like you see, this is very high in molasses. 03:12 Molasses is really good for you. All right. 03:14 So it's not so processed. 03:16 It's little bit processed, 03:19 but has lots of minerals and vitamins in there. 03:23 And usually I don't use the white sugar. 03:25 White sugar actually kill your immune system right away. 03:28 Yes, it does. Yeah, so. 03:30 Give me a spoon and I can just start stirring this. Yeah, sure. 03:33 Here you go. Thank you. 03:35 And this one I use the pecans and pecan is very high in iron 03:40 and also high in fiber and good source of protein. 03:44 And so tasty, delicious. It's so tasty and delicious. 03:48 And Ener-G baking powder. 03:51 I use Ener-G baking powder 03:53 because it's so natural baking power, 03:58 there's no harmful things in there. Mm-hmm. 03:59 There's no baking soda or aluminums. 04:04 But there's a lot of baking soda, baking powder 04:07 you get it from the grocery stores 04:09 is very harmful to you. 04:10 It will irritate your stomachs, 04:12 irritate your blood system and nerve. 04:15 So I would just ask you to please stay away 04:18 from baking soda and baking powder. 04:20 Not only that, it will destroy your vitamin B in your body. 04:23 That's what I'd read 04:24 that it destroys some of the nutrients. 04:26 And it cause Alzheimer and osteoporosis. 04:29 So if you want to have a strong bone then, yes, 04:32 stay away from baking soda or baking powder. 04:34 This is a sea salt. 04:36 I'm using sea salt, because sea salt 04:39 has some calcium and minerals. 04:41 And when you get some salt from the grocery stores 04:44 they contain baking powder, you know that? 04:47 Oh, really? No, I didn't. 04:48 Another name called dextrose, 04:50 they put some sugar in there to make it tastier, 04:53 but which is so harmful to you. 04:56 So find some sea salt. 04:57 Well, I'm learning so many good things from you today. 04:59 Okay. You're mixing really good. 05:01 After that-- all right. 05:03 Let's go and put some-- 05:05 oh, this is real good-- let's have a spoon. 05:08 This is soy milk and the canola oil. 05:13 As you see there, I don't have any milk 05:18 or I don't use any powder and there's no egg. 05:22 And this is vanilla. And look at how wholesome it is. 05:28 And you need to just mix it really good 05:31 and actually you can even have this 05:33 for breakfas because it's very high-- 05:36 Oh, there you go. In carbohydrate and fiber. 05:38 and it will give you a lot of energy. 05:40 Only thing is if you want to have breakfast, 05:43 you can just reduce sugar to half 05:45 Then it will make it a whole-- Not really quite so sweet. Yeah. 05:49 You will make a wholesome breakfast. 05:53 The smells really good. Smell is good, isn't it? 05:57 While you're mixing it, I'll go ahead 05:58 and spray with nonstick spray oil. 06:04 This is so simple recipe. Okay. 06:07 Yeah, took no time to put together. 06:08 Okay, I think you mixed really well. 06:10 This is a like a small, like an ice-cream scooper. 06:15 This makes nice presentation. 06:17 Or if you want to make flat cookies, 06:21 just pick it out, just flatten with the hand 06:23 and then still make a nice cookie too. 06:26 So I already showed you two way you can make cookies. 06:30 Also they have a uniform shape. Yeah. 06:33 And-- All right. 06:37 So I'm gonna just scoop some more here. 06:40 I guess this cookie dough 06:41 you don't even have to worry about your kids 06:43 getting in there and eating it raw, huh? 06:46 There's no raw eggs and things like you-- 06:49 that you might have to worry about. 06:50 With a raw cookie dough. 06:52 Yeah, but you still need to cook 06:54 whole wheat or the oat flour here. 06:59 It has some chemical you cannot digest, 07:01 so you need to cook those oat meals. 07:03 A lot of people well, you know, 07:05 they like to eat raw, everything raw 07:09 including grain and everything, 07:14 but God didn't create that way. 07:18 Certain things we needto cook to break down the chemicals. 07:22 Okay, just one more cookie. That even looks so good. 07:26 You need to put it in the oven, 07:28 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. 07:31 And they come out nice and delicious cookies. 07:35 So we have finished product may be you can show to viewers. 07:37 Yes, I'll be happy to. Yeah. 07:38 Oh, look how nice they look. 07:41 This is--this one I put the walnut pieces. 07:44 So you can tell the differences, but delicious. 07:48 Share with your neighbors. Okay. 07:51 I hope there's any left to. Okay. 07:56 Let's move to the next recipe. 07:58 All right. What are we cooking next? 08:01 And now we're going to make some Fruit Cocktail Jello. 08:04 Don't you like the name? I do. 08:06 Barbara, would you like to read the ingredients for us? 08:09 I'll be happy to. Okay. 08:10 The ingredients for the Fruit Cocktail Jello are: 08:25 Thank you. You're welcome. 08:27 It's very good. Okay. 08:29 First what I did, in this small saucepan, 08:32 you need to put some two cup apple juice, 08:35 you need to heat it up, because after that 08:40 this Emes Kosher Jel has to be dissolved. 08:43 I cannot say very good, dissolved. 08:45 And so put it in here and turbinado sugar. 08:48 This is so simple recipe that even 3 or 4 years old can do it. 08:54 Yeah, it's so simple because you would usually have 08:56 these things right on hand, you know. Yes. 08:59 The reason--do you know why I'm using Emes Kosher Jel? No. 09:02 Emes Kosher Jel is the plant based gelatin 09:07 from the seaweed, which is high in iron. 09:10 From seaweed, wow. Yeah. 09:13 When I used to use the jello 09:15 that you can usually buy from store 09:18 and one time I made the jello and then took to church 09:22 and one of my sisters in the church, 09:25 "Kyong, do you know, 09:27 that there's beef and pork and deer in the gelatin?" 09:31 I said, "It can't be." 09:34 So I got little, you know, upset. 09:37 So I went home, I got out my jello container 09:41 and then I called the jello company. 09:43 I asked them, "Is it true, you know, 09:46 there's beef and pork and deer in the gelatin?" 09:50 They said, "Yes." So you didn't know that. 09:53 Oh, after that, I just throwed all my boxes away. 09:57 Because I don't want to have Mad Cow disease. 09:59 Not only that, you know, 10:01 my body is a temple of Holy Spirit. Yes. 10:03 I cannot just defile from the unclean food. 10:07 Okay. After that, you just turn it off. 10:12 And just pour in the Pyrex or glass. 10:17 You have to put it on something you can bake on 10:20 because it's very hot. 10:22 And after that, this is like a fruit cocktail. 10:26 I put some just little bit strawberry, 10:31 so it will bring some color. 10:32 Add it in. Yeah. 10:34 Give more color to it. And my grandson loves jello. 10:39 This--he specially loves the jello. 10:41 Which child doesn't like jello? 10:42 And I cannot even say jello in front of him. 10:46 He wants a nice-- we say j-e-l-l-o 10:49 now, he said he even know that how to spell jello. 10:52 He's caught on to it. So this is it. 10:55 And how simple is it? This is it? 10:56 I think we have finished product, 10:58 so we can show to them. Leave it set. 11:00 Okay, after this cool off, 11:02 make sure they put it in the refrigerator 11:05 and then it takes about 6-8 hours to get firm. 11:08 Then this is-- how firm it is? 11:11 Look at that, see? Mm-hmm. 11:14 So this is it. Okay. 11:17 Well, I think we're gonna move to the next recipe. 11:20 Okay. What's next? 11:22 We are going to make some delicious 11:24 Taste of Heaven Pudding. Oh, okay. 11:27 Would you like to read the ingredients? 11:28 I'll be happy to. The ingredients are: 11:54 Well, thank you. 11:56 Okay, first, we need to put soy milk in the blender 12:02 and I'm using tofu, this is Mori-nu tofu firm. 12:08 I'd like to talk to you about tofu. 12:10 Tofu actually made of-- made from soybean. 12:15 Then my mom used to make tofu at home 12:17 when I was in Korea and it was so delicious. 12:20 And this one is such a wonderful thing 12:23 you can make all kind of dishes in vegetarian way. 12:26 You can even make some meat loaf or even make some pie with this 12:31 and then today we're making a pudding. 12:34 And also it will reduce your cholesterol 12:38 and will prevent your cancer and heart problems. 12:42 So lot of people don't know about tofu 12:45 and when I mention about tofu they say, "Eww," 12:48 but once they tasted my pudding they will, 12:51 "Wow, I will buy the tofu." 12:53 Well, tofu itself is rather bland, isn't it? 12:56 Yeah, it's bland, 12:57 but whatever you mix it in there it will-- 12:59 Takes on the flavor that you put with it. 13:01 That's right. Yes. 13:02 Can you go and put it in there please? All right. 13:04 You have to-- this one has to be a firm tofu. 13:08 When I created this recipe, it had to be firm. 13:11 The next recipe I'm gonna use the carob powder-- 13:13 the next ingredient would be carob powder. 13:16 This is like a chocolate substitute without any caffeine. 13:21 Oh, wonderful. 13:22 You know, the chocolate has all the caffeine in it. 13:24 And turbinado sugar, which is low sugar 13:27 with all the minerals and vitamins. 13:31 Then I use coffee substitute. 13:34 Want to know why I'm using coffee substitute? 13:37 Because coffee is very high in caffeine 13:41 which is just irritate whole body. 13:43 Specially people have stomach problem 13:46 need to get away from coffee. 13:48 What about decaf coffee? 13:49 Decaf coffee as bad as the caffeine coffee. 13:53 Because they're using a chemical to decaffeinate it. 13:56 Lot of people don't know that. I don't think. 13:58 I used to drink coffee and then I had ulcer. Oh, well. 14:02 So I changed to decaffeinated coffee 14:03 and I still had the ulcer. 14:06 So doctor told me that you need to get away 14:08 from all the coffee and the spicy food 14:10 and I said, "What doctor knows?" 14:13 So I continued to drink coffee 14:14 and I continued to eat spice food, 14:17 then I had such a terrible time to digest food, 14:21 until I became vegan vegetarian. 14:24 Then God helped me to get away from all the harmful food. 14:28 From then, I got really healthy. I don't have ulcer anymore. 14:31 Oh, Praise the Lord. And Praise the Lord. 14:33 Yeah, now we can go ahead and blend until really smooth. 14:54 You can stop it. 14:58 This one more like, 15:00 like a chocolate pudding without chocolate. 15:02 No, it's not ready, so let's go ahead and-- 15:04 Oh, you just want to stir it a little. 15:05 Yes, stir it a little bit so you don't want to see 15:07 there's any white thing, kind of white tofu flowing. 15:12 Yeah, it's good and maybe 15:14 we can blend some, about a minute more. 15:18 All right. This is so delicious. 15:20 My daughter wants to eat chocolate pudding. 15:22 Smells good. Yeah. 15:37 So your daughter spurred you on to creating this recipe? 15:40 Yeah. I think I-- That's not enough? 15:41 Yeah. Little bit more? 15:42 I think I see some little more white. 15:56 It looks like ready. Okay. 15:59 Let's go and pour in the nice, tall glass here. 16:03 Hmm, it smells really good. Okay. 16:11 Yeah, my daughter wants to eat chocolate pudding. 16:14 I just cannot let her eat the unhealthy pudding. 16:18 So I come out with this recipe and let her taste it. 16:21 She said, "Mom, this is good," she said, "even better than--" 16:26 she said, "unhealthy one." Oh, really. 16:28 So there's good comfort in that. 16:29 Well, I think I just have to try this. Yes. 16:32 See what you think. That is delicious. 16:36 It's good, isn't it? You got a winner there. 16:41 I'll show you finished products. 16:44 You need to chill this one 16:47 in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. 16:49 Then see that how firm it is and who won't like this pudding? 16:56 Yes, that one's a hard one to resist. Yeah. 16:58 Plus if you-- this one is so healthy 17:01 because it has tofu in it-- Mm-hmm. 17:04 And the carob powder is very high in vitamin B 17:07 and in fibers and natural sugar. 17:11 So even though you eat like this you don't have to feel guilty. 17:15 So this is a healthy and delicious dessert recipe. 17:20 Thank you, that's delicious. 17:22 I think we need to move on to next recipe. 17:24 All right. What are we gonna fix next? 17:26 We're gonna make some Strawberry Milk Shake. 17:29 Oh, that sounds delicious. All right. 17:31 The ingredients for this strawberry milk shake are: 17:46 And this is another very simple recipe. 17:50 We don't have much ingredients to put it in. 17:52 Still come out delicious and nutritious. 17:55 Let's start with two cups soy milk. 17:57 Would you like to go ahead and put it in there? All right. 18:02 And we need to have frozen strawberry, 18:04 a 1 1/2 cup frozen strawberry. 18:10 Do you need a spoon for that? And here you go. 18:13 Strawberry is very rich in vitamin C 18:17 and calcium, and potassium. 18:21 And also it's a fighting for cancers. 18:24 So, if you can grow strawberry it would be really wonderful. 18:29 I have big, big strawberry gardens. 18:32 I used too. 18:34 And then every spring come, we're picking and picking 18:37 and we put it in the, I mean, 18:39 we put it in the freezer so all summer 18:42 and all winter long we make this strawberry milk shake. 18:44 You always have it available. 18:46 Barbara, would you blend this until smooth? 18:48 Yes, I'll be happy to. Okay. 18:51 Make sure we got the lid on good. 19:07 You know, I think we need some more frozen strawberries. 19:10 Okay. So this is some more. 19:11 Recipe require 1 1/2 cup, I guess you can add some 19:16 about half more cup, it would be all right. 19:19 My husband likes thick and really cold milk shakes. 19:24 So does everyone. Okay. 19:38 And that looks really good. 19:39 Would you like to pour in the glass? 19:44 Okay. Yes. 19:48 You know, even though-- 19:49 Hmm, it's nice and thick and creamy. 19:51 Yeah, It's a dessert where you have 19:52 a strawberry here and you have soy milk. 19:57 And even I add some little bit lemon juice. 19:59 Now lemon juice is really good for cleansing your intestine-- 20:03 Oh, really? Yeah. 20:05 So when people have some problem with their stomach, 20:08 get up early in the morning 20:10 and have some nice warm cup of water 20:13 and then put some lemon juice and then drink, 20:15 it cleanses your stomach intestine. 20:17 Cleanses your system before you start the day. 20:18 Yes, wonderful way to start your day, actually. 20:21 Well, I was wondering, could you use different berries 20:23 to do something little different. Oh, sure. 20:25 You can use the black berry or raspberry-- 20:29 And even blueberries? Even blueberry. 20:32 That would be wonderful. Okay. 20:34 So it's kind of a versatile. Yes, yes. 20:37 As you see that we don't use any regular milk. Mm-hmm. 20:41 And we don't use any refined sugar. 20:43 There's no dairy products here. Okay. 20:45 So it's good for you and then wonderful. 20:49 Another way you can do this one, 20:52 may be I can use some of this glass here. 20:57 If you like ice-cream without any guilt what you can do? 21:03 you have little bowl pour some milkshake 21:09 and then put it in the freezer 21:11 for until you get up freezed 21:14 and then if you have the whole lot, 21:16 you can just make some larger bowls 21:17 and then put it in the freezer. 21:19 Take it out and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds 21:22 and it come out nice ice-cream. Okay. 21:26 I have a question for you? Sure. 21:27 Does it freeze pre-solid then? Oh, yes. 21:31 So if you wanted, for your children 21:32 you could put a popsicle stick in there 21:33 and you'll have a kind of like a little popsicle. 21:35 Would that work? Oh, yeah, sure. 21:36 That will be a good idea. Kids think that's fun. 21:39 I think our grandchildren-- if you have grandchildren 21:41 they would love that and put it in the popsicle stick 21:45 or you can even put it in like ice tray-- 21:48 And pour it in there and put some toothpicks. Yes. 21:51 Then when you're ready, you just take it 21:53 one at a time and they will have fun. 21:55 I think I will even have fun to eating it. 21:58 Don't you? Yes, yes. 21:59 Everybody likes to have a little fun with their food. 22:01 So well, it's not so hard to make a healthy dessert, is it? 22:07 You know, if I can make like this 22:09 I think you can make it at home too. 22:10 What do you think, Barbara? 22:12 Oh, I think so. 22:13 I, for instance, with bananas 22:15 when I do banana smoothies, you know, 22:17 when you have bananas they're starting just a little-- 22:20 To getting bad, yeah. 22:21 Ripening and you don't have time 22:23 to make banana bread or anything like that, 22:24 I freeze them and little chunks in a freezer bag-- Uh-huh. 22:27 Then when I want to make a smoothie, 22:28 I just get them out and they're already there waiting on me. 22:30 Yeah. Like may be-- 22:31 And the bananas don't go to a waste 22:33 and I enjoy those smoothies. 22:34 Yeah, the bananas 22:35 and they're very high in potassium 22:37 and already I mentioned to you that you need to eat banana 22:41 because it's very high in potassium 22:42 not only the potato is very high in potassium 22:46 and which is really good 22:48 for your clear thinking of your brain. 22:50 You know, that we all need to have clear thinking, 22:53 so when Holy Spirit speaks to us 22:56 then we know that we can hear his voice. Right. 22:58 And lot of times this was-- 23:01 I told my husband that a lot of times 23:03 lot of people say that, "Ah, you shouldn't eat potato 23:07 or because it's fattening to you." 23:10 But God created such a wonderful potato 23:14 and then put some lot of potassium in there. 23:17 And it regulate our heart beat, 23:19 even water body levels, you know, 23:22 which keeps our body-- water body levels in us and so. 23:28 I had such a wonderful time cooking with you, Barbara. 23:31 I'm enjoying it too. 23:33 And I wish I can cook with you again. 23:36 And try these recipes at home 23:38 and you can invite your neighbor, your family. 23:41 Tell them you learned how to fix healthy desserts from 3ABN 23:47 and I'm sure they would delight to learn from your recipe too. 23:52 We're going to take a short break now 23:54 to give you an opportunity to get these recipes from 3ABN. 23:59 We hope you've enjoyed cooking with Kyong Weathersby. 24:01 Now, let's take a moment 24:03 to review our healthy dessert recipes. 24:05 For the Taste of Heaven Cookies you will need: 24:33 For the Fruit Cocktail Jello you will need: 24:50 For the Taste of Heaven Pudding you will need: 25:14 For the Strawberry Milk Shake you will need: 25:32 If you would like more information 25:33 on how you can contact Kyong 25:35 or if you would like to receive today's recipes, 25:38 please write to 3ABN, PO Box 220, 25:42 West Frankfort, IL 62896 25:46 or call 1-800-752-3226. 25:52 Now let's take a look at our finished recipes with Kyong. 25:59 Welcome back, look at all of these 26:01 beautiful, healthy, guilt free recipes 26:05 that we've made for you today. 26:06 Can you tell us something about them?
