00:00:09.45\00:00:12.90
Welcome to
"Let's Cook Together."
00:00:44.76\00:00:47.09
My name is Angela Lomacang
00:00:47.12\00:00:48.88
and I'm so glad you
are here with us today.
00:00:48.91\00:00:52.65
We have a
wonderful breakfast program
00:00:52.68\00:00:55.06
as I mentioned
earlier and our guest today,
00:00:55.09\00:00:57.98
her name is Marvella
Burton all the way from Alabama.
00:00:58.01\00:01:02.09
Marvella,
welcome to the program.
00:01:02.12\00:01:04.27
Thank you and I'm glad
to be back. Good, good.
00:01:04.30\00:01:08.38
Today we're gonna be making
00:01:08.41\00:01:09.78
breakfast
foods, is that correct?
00:01:09.81\00:01:11.18
Yes. I've chosen
waffles. Waffles.
00:01:11.21\00:01:13.80
Yes. Healthy waffles.
00:01:13.83\00:01:15.26
Healthy, delicious,
marvelous, nutritious waffles.
00:01:15.29\00:01:19.32
And I like how you say
that "marvelous" waffles.
00:01:19.35\00:01:21.85
Yes. Because
your name is Marvella.
00:01:21.88\00:01:24.84
Well, well.
00:01:24.87\00:01:26.46
Okay, what we need to
do is go to our recipe--
00:01:26.49\00:01:29.25
Yes. On the screen which is for
our waffles as you mentioned.
00:01:29.28\00:01:33.03
Okay, so honey or maple syrup.
00:01:51.80\00:01:53.97
Yes. That's good.
00:01:54.00\00:01:55.37
Just a bit of sweetness.
00:01:55.40\00:01:56.77
Okay, we got our blender ready.
00:01:56.80\00:01:58.53
It looks like an
easy recipe, doesn't it?
00:01:58.56\00:02:01.35
It is very simple. Yeah.
00:02:01.38\00:02:03.41
And I always like to
begin with my liquids in here
00:02:03.44\00:02:07.29
to make adding the dry
ingredients a lot easier--
00:02:07.32\00:02:10.30
Now how did you
get this powdery?
00:02:10.33\00:02:12.44
That's my oatmeal that I
ground in the blender. Right.
00:02:12.47\00:02:16.50
And my sunflower
seeds which I ground also,
00:02:16.53\00:02:20.96
in order to make it easier
for the blender to blend it
00:02:20.99\00:02:24.43
and to get into the waffle iron
as quickly as possible. Okay.
00:02:24.46\00:02:28.93
So we will begin
with our soy milk.
00:02:28.96\00:02:31.22
All right.
00:02:31.25\00:02:34.16
There we go.
00:02:34.19\00:02:35.56
And we want to
place our banana here
00:02:35.59\00:02:39.02
and we try to make sure that
our bananas are nice and ripe.
00:02:39.05\00:02:44.11
And this gives
it a nice sweetness
00:02:44.14\00:02:47.14
and I like that banana flavor.
00:02:47.17\00:02:49.05
Yes. Yes.
00:02:49.08\00:02:50.45
And it reminds
you of your muffins
00:02:50.48\00:02:52.18
and the banana nut gravy
that you prepare. Oh, yes.
00:02:52.21\00:02:55.24
And we're going to add sea salt.
00:02:55.27\00:02:58.78
Now why do we use sea
salt instead of regular salt?
00:02:58.81\00:03:01.11
Well, it's a
natural sodium source
00:03:01.14\00:03:04.52
and as you know
the sodium chloride
00:03:04.55\00:03:07.16
that we get in the store... Yes.
00:03:07.19\00:03:09.07
Has chemicals in it and
the body does not utilize it
00:03:09.10\00:03:13.59
as it does natural sodium.
00:03:13.62\00:03:15.79
So we try to shy away
00:03:15.82\00:03:17.19
from too much of that
sodium chloride. Okay.
00:03:17.22\00:03:20.02
We're gonna add our
flavoring, which is the vanilla.
00:03:20.05\00:03:23.43
Okay. And put our honey in.
00:03:23.46\00:03:27.09
Give it that a little sweetness.
00:03:27.12\00:03:28.88
Yes. Yeah.
00:03:28.91\00:03:30.28
And these are really tasty.
00:03:30.31\00:03:31.99
You can eat them with
out adding any toppings.
00:03:32.02\00:03:35.34
The waffles. Yes.
00:03:35.37\00:03:37.36
You may add some fruit
toppings or a little maple syrup
00:03:37.39\00:03:40.20
if you like it but-- All right.
00:03:40.23\00:03:41.62
We eat them just as
they are sometimes. Okay.
00:03:41.65\00:03:45.43
All right, we're going to just
blend this just a little bit.
00:03:45.46\00:03:48.62
And then we're going to
add our dry ingredients.
00:03:54.40\00:03:57.93
Now I'm going to add this slowly
in just a little bit and blend.
00:03:57.96\00:04:03.53
Okay.
00:04:03.56\00:04:05.45
And that way it won't get
so thick that you can't pour it
00:04:12.69\00:04:16.75
and you'd have to stir
and dig around in the blender.
00:04:16.78\00:04:19.79
Because the blenders that
they sell in the stores are--
00:04:19.82\00:04:22.64
don't have that much power.
00:04:22.67\00:04:24.19
Yeah. So you don't want to get--
00:04:24.22\00:04:25.59
They're not the
industrial blenders. Right.
00:04:25.62\00:04:27.34
As you can see, this is
beginning to thicken little bit.
00:04:31.09\00:04:33.03
Yes, it is. I noticed.
00:04:33.06\00:04:34.79
So that we get it in the iron,
00:04:34.82\00:04:37.19
that will be just the right
texture of waffle that we get.
00:04:37.22\00:04:42.45
Now we're going to
add our sunflower seeds.
00:04:47.06\00:04:50.22
And you see this is not
taking much time at all.
00:04:50.25\00:04:52.17
No, it isn't. It really isn't.
00:04:52.20\00:04:54.33
So whether you like
waffles on Wednesday morning
00:04:54.36\00:04:56.96
or Sunday
morning when you have--
00:04:56.99\00:04:58.84
we call it a country
style breakfast in the south.
00:04:58.87\00:05:01.44
You can do it quick,
fast and in a hurry. Yeah.
00:05:04.93\00:05:08.00
Most people are in a
hurry just to get out but--
00:05:08.03\00:05:10.80
get out the house but you
could have a nutritious meal.
00:05:10.83\00:05:13.36
Absolutely. And also
you can make enough waffles
00:05:13.39\00:05:17.01
that you can freeze them.
00:05:17.04\00:05:18.41
Oh, very good.
Okay, so the last blend.
00:05:18.44\00:05:21.96
A good strong blend there.
00:05:31.55\00:05:33.15
Yes, put that on
the high power. Yes.
00:05:33.18\00:05:35.76
And as you can see, it's
liquid enough to pour. Right.
00:05:35.79\00:05:41.80
One thing, once this sits,
it begins to thicken. Okay.
00:05:41.83\00:05:45.85
So after we do the
first four waffles,
00:05:45.88\00:05:49.31
you notice that the mixture
is just a little bit thick.
00:05:49.34\00:05:52.98
But you don't add
any more liquid to it.
00:05:53.01\00:05:54.91
If you just blend it a
little bit or just stir it,
00:05:54.94\00:05:57.34
you'll see that you'll
still get the same waffles.
00:05:57.37\00:05:59.81
Now you can see my
iron is hot. Nice and hot.
00:05:59.84\00:06:02.10
And I'm just gonna
spray it a little bit
00:06:02.13\00:06:03.89
to prevent it from sticking.
00:06:03.92\00:06:05.32
This is a stainless steel iron
00:06:05.35\00:06:07.14
and you can see it
has been quite well used.
00:06:07.17\00:06:09.40
Yes, it looks like
you've had it a while.
00:06:09.43\00:06:11.52
It's been passed down.
00:06:11.55\00:06:13.22
Good strong one. Yes.
00:06:13.25\00:06:15.01
And so we're going to just
make sure this is all blended.
00:06:15.04\00:06:18.44
Okay. And we see that it is.
00:06:18.47\00:06:20.43
Yes, it is. And we're going to
slowly just pour it into iron.
00:06:20.46\00:06:24.52
Make four waffles at
one time. At one time.
00:06:24.55\00:06:27.65
You don't find
very many of these...No.
00:06:27.68\00:06:31.35
So you see just it
kind of smoothes in...
00:06:31.38\00:06:33.74
And the fat that's in
the sunflower seeds give you
00:06:33.77\00:06:37.84
just enough fat to make
the waffle have a good texture,
00:06:37.87\00:06:44.79
so that they won't be tough.
00:06:44.82\00:06:46.68
The oatmeal is very light
00:06:46.71\00:06:48.54
so you don't
get that heaviness--
00:06:48.57\00:06:50.24
Good to know.
00:06:50.27\00:06:51.64
That you get when you
make the whole wheat waffles.
00:06:51.67\00:06:54.93
And the cooking time is short.
00:06:54.96\00:06:58.16
We're going to cook
these for about 7 minutes.
00:06:58.19\00:07:01.65
Oh, that's nice. 7 minutes.
00:07:01.68\00:07:03.69
The second round you wanna
cook in maybe about 6 minutes
00:07:03.72\00:07:07.04
because the iron is
already good and hot. Okay?
00:07:07.07\00:07:10.49
So we're gonna put
the timer on for 7 minutes
00:07:10.52\00:07:13.72
and then we gonna come back
00:07:13.75\00:07:15.15
and we gonna
have perfect waffles.
00:07:15.18\00:07:16.99
Oh, my. So you set the timer.
00:07:17.02\00:07:19.30
Yes. And I'm
gonna close the iron.
00:07:19.33\00:07:23.67
Then shortly we'll have waffles.
00:07:23.70\00:07:25.47
All right. All right.
00:07:25.50\00:07:27.46
Okay. And what we can
show is a readymade one, too.
00:07:27.49\00:07:30.82
Very good. We have some
right here to share with you.
00:07:30.85\00:07:36.22
How about this?
00:07:36.25\00:07:39.61
Looks delicious.
Can you smell them?
00:07:39.64\00:07:41.98
Yes. Get some--
00:07:42.01\00:07:44.78
Now can you make your waffles--
00:07:44.81\00:07:46.48
like, say you don't want banana,
00:07:46.51\00:07:47.88
you want
strawberries or blueberries?
00:07:47.91\00:07:51.56
You can substitute--
00:07:51.59\00:07:52.96
Now remember, the strawberries
00:07:52.99\00:07:54.36
have a bit more liquid
in them than the banana.
00:07:54.39\00:07:57.85
Okay. So if you use
fruit that's moist--
00:07:57.88\00:08:02.17
Yes. Then you want to use
just a little bit less milk.
00:08:02.20\00:08:05.84
Okay. Because you don't
want your waffles too thin.
00:08:05.87\00:08:08.38
That's true. You want
them to have some type of,
00:08:08.41\00:08:10.40
you know, good substance.
00:08:10.43\00:08:11.86
Yeah. And you have to
make your waffles just right.
00:08:11.89\00:08:14.10
Just right, that's the key.
00:08:14.13\00:08:16.31
And so I've timed this.
00:08:16.34\00:08:18.56
I've got the setting just
where I need it, on medium high.
00:08:18.59\00:08:22.21
All right. So that the waffles
will come out just brown.
00:08:22.24\00:08:25.24
I like mine kind
of brown and toasty.
00:08:25.27\00:08:26.98
Some people like them
lighter and some darker.
00:08:27.01\00:08:30.17
So it just depends
on your preference.
00:08:30.20\00:08:32.80
That's true. Okay.
00:08:32.83\00:08:34.76
What we need to do is move
right on to our next recipe,
00:08:34.79\00:08:39.33
which is gonna be
the scrambled tofu.
00:08:39.36\00:08:41.62
Okay. Now before we move on,
00:09:14.62\00:09:16.72
Marvella, I have a
quick question to ask you.
00:09:16.75\00:09:19.26
Why do we use
African cayenne pepper?
00:09:19.29\00:09:23.51
Why do you use
that? African bird.
00:09:23.54\00:09:25.03
Bird, yes. It is
probably the most potent pepper
00:09:25.06\00:09:29.88
there is, and is excellent--
00:09:29.91\00:09:31.99
has excellent
medicinal qualities. Okay.
00:09:32.02\00:09:34.96
Good for the blood
circulation, good for the heart.
00:09:34.99\00:09:38.84
It really
stimulates the blood to flow.
00:09:38.87\00:09:42.83
And is excellent
even for ulcers. Really?
00:09:42.86\00:09:48.29
I use it for
cold feet, externally,
00:09:48.32\00:09:51.63
put a little bit in some juice.
00:09:51.66\00:09:54.11
It's good for
colds. And what it does is,
00:09:54.14\00:09:56.97
kind of helps the blood
to rush through the body
00:09:57.00\00:10:00.00
so that any mucus and
phlegm and any congestion,
00:10:00.03\00:10:05.36
it kind of
causes it to dissipate.
00:10:05.39\00:10:08.12
And you get that
at the health store?
00:10:08.15\00:10:10.28
Any health food store.
00:10:10.31\00:10:11.68
Okay, okay. All right.
00:10:11.71\00:10:13.25
I just thought that I'd
get that question out the way.
00:10:13.28\00:10:15.59
Now let's move
into our tofu scrambles.
00:10:15.62\00:10:18.15
All right. Where do we start?
00:10:18.18\00:10:20.67
We're gonna start
with our tofu and...Yes.
00:10:20.70\00:10:24.96
Those who didn't
listen to our other show,
00:10:24.99\00:10:29.68
we talked a little bit
about using the firm. Yes.
00:10:29.71\00:10:32.77
And we use it for recipes
that we need to have really,
00:10:32.80\00:10:39.26
I guess, more
firm consistency. Yeah.
00:10:39.29\00:10:43.84
And so we have the firm
and we've already drained it.
00:10:43.87\00:10:47.27
Oh, good. And what I like
to do is just put my onions...
00:10:47.30\00:10:51.43
Yes. And my peppers and my--
00:10:51.46\00:10:57.59
a little soy sauce in
here to saute it just a bit.
00:10:57.62\00:11:04.14
And that way you
don't need any oil.
00:11:04.17\00:11:06.58
Oh, that's interesting.
00:11:06.61\00:11:09.93
So you don't use any
oil or sprays or anything?
00:11:09.96\00:11:13.27
And you see how
that sautés quite well.
00:11:13.30\00:11:15.60
Yeah, and it
smells quite well too.
00:11:15.63\00:11:19.30
And we just
sauté that a little bit
00:11:19.33\00:11:22.82
to just soften the peppers.
00:11:22.85\00:11:26.32
And we like to
add a lot of red--
00:11:26.35\00:11:29.28
Yes, I love that color.
00:11:29.31\00:11:30.68
For the color, it
gives great appeal.
00:11:30.71\00:11:32.48
Then we're going
to take our tofu...
00:11:32.51\00:11:34.66
Okay. Now you may dice
this if you like it diced.
00:11:34.69\00:11:39.52
But we're gonna do
scrambled tofu. Okay.
00:11:39.55\00:11:41.61
And so we're gonna
place it in our dish
00:11:41.64\00:11:44.01
and you can do
this in any skillet,
00:11:44.04\00:11:45.62
you don't have to use an
electric skillet. Oh, okay.
00:11:45.65\00:11:48.13
And we're gonna take the fork
or you may use a potato masher--
00:11:48.16\00:11:51.70
Oh, yes. And just mash
the tofu in the skillet,
00:11:51.73\00:11:56.13
until you chop down this block.
00:11:56.16\00:12:00.51
And this is like scrambled eggs.
00:12:00.54\00:12:02.58
Yes. Yeah.
00:12:02.61\00:12:04.94
And--as you can smell,
it has a wonderful aroma.
00:12:04.97\00:12:08.64
Aroma's great. Yes.
00:12:08.67\00:12:10.72
You may add fresh garlic,
you may add leeks to this.
00:12:10.75\00:12:15.40
I've added leeks,
chopped leeks. Really? Okay.
00:12:15.43\00:12:18.85
And it changes the
flavor just slightly
00:12:18.88\00:12:22.90
but it's still just delicious.
00:12:22.93\00:12:26.56
Just mash them up together.
Just mash them up together.
00:12:26.59\00:12:30.02
And once we get it all
mashed, we want to mix it. Okay.
00:12:30.05\00:12:34.09
Oh, boy. We're going to
add our remaining soy sauce.
00:12:36.45\00:12:42.69
You may add more soy
sauce to suit your taste. Okay.
00:12:42.72\00:12:49.30
And mix it well
and then we're going
00:12:49.33\00:12:51.24
to place our
other ingredients here.
00:12:51.27\00:12:53.29
Oh. All right, this
is our nutritional yeast.
00:12:53.32\00:12:56.38
Nutritional yeast. I just
learned to use that and it is--
00:12:56.41\00:12:59.44
Isn't it wonderful? Wonderful.
00:12:59.47\00:13:00.95
Yes.
00:13:00.98\00:13:02.80
Look at that great color.
00:13:02.83\00:13:05.06
Oh, yeah. And
garlic and onion powder.
00:13:05.09\00:13:09.35
And when you get used to
doing this, you can kind of--
00:13:09.38\00:13:11.85
I see, you are used to this.
00:13:11.88\00:13:13.25
Without even measuring,
you know what you're doing.
00:13:13.28\00:13:15.01
Look at you. For those of you
who like a little extra kick.
00:13:15.04\00:13:17.76
Yeah, I like it just--
Just put a little bit in there
00:13:17.79\00:13:20.47
and then we
scramble it. Beautiful.
00:13:20.50\00:13:25.18
And what's so
wonderful about this recipe is,
00:13:25.21\00:13:27.72
it does not take
much time at all.
00:13:27.75\00:13:29.93
No, it doesn't. We're finished.
00:13:29.96\00:13:32.59
And you may let it
simmer as long as you want.
00:13:32.62\00:13:34.70
Now some tofu you may purchase
00:13:34.73\00:13:36.53
may have a little bit
more water than others. Yes.
00:13:36.56\00:13:39.53
And so you may have to
simmer it a little longer. Okay.
00:13:39.56\00:13:42.78
Because you want it to
dry out, as I like mine.
00:13:42.81\00:13:46.91
Oh, yeah. I noticed.
00:13:46.94\00:13:48.41
You see that? Yeah, yeah.
00:13:48.44\00:13:50.46
And so you don't want it watery.
00:13:50.49\00:13:52.11
If we cover this, because
this skillet has a cover,
00:13:52.14\00:13:55.33
if you cover it, what happens,
00:13:55.36\00:13:57.48
it extracts the
water from the tofu
00:13:57.51\00:13:59.94
and it makes your
dish a little bit soggy.
00:13:59.97\00:14:02.96
Okay, okay. So if you
want it with more moisture--
00:14:02.99\00:14:05.98
Yeah. Cover it.
00:14:06.01\00:14:07.38
Because some people
like their eggs real soggy,
00:14:07.41\00:14:09.15
and this our egg alternate.
00:14:09.18\00:14:12.03
But if you like it dry,
then you leave it uncovered.
00:14:12.06\00:14:15.76
And that's with any dish.
00:14:15.79\00:14:17.60
That's why when we stir fry,
00:14:17.63\00:14:19.55
if I just heat it, put
in my veggies and cover it,
00:14:19.58\00:14:22.88
it extracts the
water and then it's--
00:14:22.91\00:14:25.52
in no time at all is ready.
00:14:25.55\00:14:27.17
And so you see?
We're all finished.
00:14:27.20\00:14:29.30
Look at that. Isn't it lovely?
00:14:29.33\00:14:31.11
Oh my. Smells good, doesn't it?
00:14:31.14\00:14:32.86
And it does smell wonderful.
00:14:32.89\00:14:35.00
Now I'm gonna do
something. I'm gonna taste this.
00:14:35.03\00:14:38.01
Wow. Is that okay?
00:14:38.04\00:14:39.73
Help yourself. Okay.
00:14:39.76\00:14:42.13
I'm gonna have a little taste.
00:14:42.16\00:14:44.16
Now it's hot. It's hot, yeah.
00:14:44.19\00:14:46.78
See how it tastes. Here goes.
00:14:46.81\00:14:49.31
Oh, my. Marvelous.
00:14:53.25\00:14:56.32
It is very marvelous.
Wonderful, I like that flavor.
00:14:56.35\00:15:01.31
Isn't it unique? And
you know, that yeast--
00:15:01.34\00:15:04.07
that nutritional
yeast, I taste that.
00:15:04.10\00:15:06.77
I put that in popcorn.
00:15:06.80\00:15:08.17
Yes, that's
excellent in popcorn.
00:15:08.20\00:15:09.87
Now do you use
toast with this or what?
00:15:09.90\00:15:13.84
Yes, sometimes I
use it in pita bread.
00:15:13.87\00:15:16.37
You can take-- Oh, yes.
00:15:16.40\00:15:17.77
Yeah. A whole wheat
pita bread and stuff it.
00:15:17.80\00:15:20.05
You can use it over rice,
00:15:20.08\00:15:22.26
you can use it
with mixed vegetables.
00:15:22.29\00:15:24.44
That's right. Millet.
00:15:24.47\00:15:26.37
Yes. You can make a
loaf and put a sauce over it.
00:15:26.40\00:15:30.47
You can make this like
patties-- That's right.
00:15:30.50\00:15:32.90
Burgers. Wow.
00:15:32.93\00:15:34.62
And you already have a ready
done tofu scramble, don't you?
00:15:34.65\00:15:39.26
Absolutely. And you can use it
00:15:39.29\00:15:41.31
as a side dish
with your waffles.
00:15:41.34\00:15:42.95
There you go. Pass
that dish over here.
00:15:42.98\00:15:44.65
Okay.
00:15:44.68\00:15:47.07
Here is a one
ready-- a dish that's ready,
00:15:47.10\00:15:51.20
it's ready to go, ready to eat.
00:15:51.23\00:15:52.60
It's in this
nice little container.
00:15:52.63\00:15:55.21
And I want to thank
you, Marvella, for this.
00:15:55.24\00:15:57.61
And what we need to do is
move on to our next recipe
00:15:57.64\00:16:02.10
which is gonna be
another wonderful treat for you,
00:16:02.13\00:16:05.42
who love your break fast food.
00:16:05.45\00:16:06.82
And it's gonna be
our oatmeal cookies.
00:16:06.85\00:16:08.58
Okay. Now this is a nice
healthy oatmeal raisin cookie,
00:16:39.34\00:16:43.73
I would call it.
Actually more than raisins.
00:16:43.76\00:16:46.73
Yeah. Does have
nuts and all that,
00:16:46.76\00:16:48.86
all that wonderful
stuff for your body.
00:16:48.89\00:16:51.44
So where do we start from here?
00:16:51.47\00:16:53.08
We're going to
first take our oatmeal,
00:16:53.11\00:16:55.79
and as you can
see, I've ground this.
00:16:55.82\00:16:57.42
Yes, yes. Now you
don't have to grind it.
00:16:57.45\00:17:00.53
Okay. You can just use the
old fashioned oats as they are.
00:17:00.56\00:17:04.32
Oh. And I'd get
the whole grain oats.
00:17:04.35\00:17:07.77
You may also use the quick oats
00:17:07.80\00:17:11.59
but it gives it a bit--
different bit of texture.
00:17:11.62\00:17:14.85
Oh, it does. Yes, it softens--
00:17:14.88\00:17:17.23
it's softer and not
as, I'll say grainy.
00:17:17.26\00:17:20.97
Right, right. And then not
as heavy as the old fashioned.
00:17:21.00\00:17:22.80
And what kind is this?
00:17:22.83\00:17:24.20
These are the
old fashioned oats.
00:17:24.23\00:17:25.82
And I've ground them
00:17:25.85\00:17:27.25
so they can give it a
nice smooth texture. Yes.
00:17:27.28\00:17:30.68
So we're going to place
these into our mixing bowl
00:17:30.71\00:17:36.12
and we're going to add
all of our dry ingredients.
00:17:36.15\00:17:38.78
Here's the nuts. Dump.
00:17:38.81\00:17:40.18
Dump?
00:17:40.21\00:17:41.73
Dump.
00:17:41.76\00:17:44.55
Dump. And our salt.
00:17:44.58\00:17:47.66
Okay. Another dump.
00:17:47.69\00:17:49.70
And our
coconut. Oh, the coconut?
00:17:49.73\00:17:52.18
Wait a minute.
00:17:52.21\00:17:53.58
What did you do to the coconut?
00:17:53.61\00:17:54.98
Now this is already shredded.
00:17:55.01\00:17:57.00
It looks like it's
just-- just powdery.
00:17:57.03\00:18:00.37
Yes, it's fine.
Now did you shred that?
00:18:00.40\00:18:02.50
No, I didn't. I
purchased it shredded like this.
00:18:02.53\00:18:06.13
Okay. You can get this
or you can get them flakes.
00:18:06.16\00:18:08.49
I'm so used of the
flakes, maybe that's why.
00:18:08.52\00:18:09.92
Yes. So it's just
whatever your preference.
00:18:09.95\00:18:12.44
You may use the flakes. Yes.
00:18:12.47\00:18:14.49
And we're going to mix all of
the dry ingredients really well.
00:18:14.52\00:18:22.49
And then we're going to
take our liquid ingredients.
00:18:22.52\00:18:27.60
Oh, yeah. And we're gonna
place them all in this bowl.
00:18:27.63\00:18:31.02
Oh, separately. Separately.
00:18:31.05\00:18:33.20
Okay.
00:18:33.23\00:18:35.73
Oh, is that the coconut
milk? This is the coconut milk.
00:18:35.76\00:18:39.10
They also have
low fat coconut milk.
00:18:39.13\00:18:40.92
Yes, you can get the light.
00:18:40.95\00:18:42.45
Now the light--
if you use the light,
00:18:42.48\00:18:45.49
you may find that it
won't be as soft and moist.
00:18:45.52\00:18:50.65
Okay, okay.
Because of the fat content.
00:18:50.68\00:18:53.16
Okay, okay. I see.
00:18:53.19\00:18:54.56
Now what did you just
put in here real quick?
00:18:54.59\00:18:55.96
That's the maple
syrup. Okay, okay.
00:18:55.99\00:18:57.87
And this is the honey. Okay.
00:18:57.90\00:19:00.63
All right? And then we're going
to add our vanilla flavoring.
00:19:00.66\00:19:07.41
And our last
ingredient-- and this optional.
00:19:07.44\00:19:11.55
You can add this to the dry
ingredients or to the liquid.
00:19:11.58\00:19:14.75
It's not very much,
it's the coriander. Okay.
00:19:14.78\00:19:17.57
Similar to
cinnamon but not as strong,
00:19:17.60\00:19:20.62
and its spice is
real gentle on the system.
00:19:20.65\00:19:25.09
Some spices
irritate the system, like--
00:19:25.12\00:19:26.98
Yes. Cinnamon and some others.
00:19:27.01\00:19:30.32
But once we pour
all of this in together,
00:19:30.35\00:19:33.91
we want to mix it really well.
00:19:33.94\00:19:36.01
And what it does is,
00:19:36.04\00:19:37.64
makes mixing all of the
ingredients a lot easier.
00:19:37.67\00:19:42.81
Okay. Has a nice aroma to it.
00:19:42.84\00:19:46.35
Yes, it does. Very nice.
00:19:46.38\00:19:48.37
And you'll have cookies
better than store bought. Wow.
00:19:48.40\00:19:52.60
Now tell me something,
00:19:52.63\00:19:54.00
can you use a
hand mixer for this?
00:19:54.03\00:19:55.77
Or is it better to
use a spoon to mix?
00:19:55.80\00:19:57.48
You can. But by the time I
get that out and set it up.
00:19:57.51\00:20:00.31
Okay, yeah.
00:20:00.34\00:20:01.71
I finished. Yeah.
00:20:01.74\00:20:03.11
And the cleaning
is a lot easier. Yeah.
00:20:03.14\00:20:07.25
All right, so we're gonna pour
this right here in the center.
00:20:07.28\00:20:11.77
See that? Make sure
you get all the scrapings.
00:20:11.80\00:20:15.31
Now why not pour it all over?
00:20:15.34\00:20:17.87
You just pour it in the
center so you could mix it?
00:20:17.90\00:20:19.58
Yeah, to just mix
it a little at a time
00:20:19.61\00:20:21.33
because there's quite
a bit of dry ingredients.
00:20:21.36\00:20:24.55
And so you wanna kind of smooth
00:20:24.58\00:20:26.04
and then you don't
want to hurt yourself.
00:20:26.07\00:20:30.34
Now once again, can you use
a hand mixer for all of this?
00:20:30.37\00:20:33.30
You can use a hand-- yes.
00:20:33.33\00:20:34.80
Cakes and cookies because
the granules are so small.
00:20:34.83\00:20:40.66
Okay. I have a
kitchen aid at home.
00:20:40.69\00:20:42.75
Okay. Now that
would be nice to use too.
00:20:42.78\00:20:45.20
Now you see? Look at
that, moist and nice.
00:20:45.23\00:20:49.13
And we did not use any oil. Oh.
00:20:49.16\00:20:51.85
Well, we had
natural oil in your foods.
00:20:51.88\00:20:53.56
Your nuts, your seeds-- Yes.
00:20:53.59\00:20:56.19
Your coconuts, all of
those have natural fats,
00:20:56.22\00:20:58.71
so you get some
fat in the diet. Okay.
00:20:58.74\00:21:01.26
But the free fat is
what causes us to us kind of,
00:21:01.29\00:21:04.56
you know-- Right.
00:21:04.59\00:21:05.96
Expand when we don't want
to. And so it's a lot healthier.
00:21:05.99\00:21:10.79
And then
desserts are not something
00:21:10.82\00:21:13.85
that you eat every day.
00:21:13.88\00:21:15.54
No, no. Okay?
00:21:15.57\00:21:17.46
There's an occasion for them.
Desserts, are they for Sabbath?
00:21:17.49\00:21:19.73
Yes, I like to have a
treat for Sabbath. Yes, yes.
00:21:19.76\00:21:22.50
Everybody enjoys
that. Everyone does.
00:21:22.53\00:21:24.01
It makes the Sabbath a
little special, you know?
00:21:24.04\00:21:26.88
So we've mixed this, as
you can see, good texture.
00:21:26.91\00:21:30.90
Very good. Yes,
the texture is good.
00:21:30.93\00:21:32.30
And it makes very easy to drop
them onto your cookie sheet.
00:21:32.33\00:21:36.66
Now the dish,
as I stated before,
00:21:36.69\00:21:41.49
we heat our dishes. Oh, yes.
00:21:41.52\00:21:43.53
And when we heat them,
00:21:43.56\00:21:44.93
it makes it easy to remove
the cookie after it's baked.
00:21:44.96\00:21:49.51
Okay. Without
using quite a bit of oil.
00:21:49.54\00:21:51.84
Okay. Okay, and remember
the cookie has some fat.
00:21:51.87\00:21:54.53
So it's just--
simply you just take some
00:21:54.56\00:21:56.77
and you just drop
them onto the dish. Right.
00:21:56.80\00:21:59.09
You can make them as large
or small as you like. Okay.
00:21:59.12\00:22:02.83
We make them small
so that it will make it
00:22:02.86\00:22:05.53
seem like you're
getting a lot. Yeah.
00:22:05.56\00:22:07.54
When you make them big,
00:22:07.57\00:22:10.07
you like overeat and we
don't want that to happen.
00:22:10.10\00:22:12.60
No, no, no. So
you see how simple,
00:22:12.63\00:22:15.21
even the children
can make these. Yes.
00:22:15.24\00:22:17.86
And it won't take much time
00:22:17.89\00:22:20.18
and they'll have a nice
little healthy treat. Exactly.
00:22:20.21\00:22:23.96
Now you may
choose not to use raisins
00:22:23.99\00:22:26.73
because some people don't care
for raisins in their desserts.
00:22:26.76\00:22:30.78
But that's strictly up to you.
00:22:30.81\00:22:34.24
And this makes-- it
depends on what size--
00:22:34.27\00:22:36.76
Right. It makes a
couple of dozen of cookies.
00:22:36.79\00:22:39.33
Okay? All right.
00:22:39.36\00:22:41.95
You just put that in.
00:22:41.98\00:22:43.99
And then we're gonna bake
this for about 10 to 12 minutes.
00:22:44.02\00:22:48.90
And hopefully you'll have--
00:22:48.93\00:22:52.01
when you're
familiar with your oven,
00:22:52.04\00:22:54.36
you know whether or
not to leave them in.
00:22:54.39\00:22:56.76
Exactly. Any longer than that.
00:22:56.79\00:22:58.54
So I generally say
anywhere from 12 to 15 minutes.
00:22:58.57\00:23:03.02
These should bake
up nicely. Okay. Okay.
00:23:03.05\00:23:06.85
Well, once you
put it in the oven--
00:23:06.88\00:23:09.31
Put them in the
oven. What temperature?
00:23:09.34\00:23:12.18
375. Okay.
00:23:12.21\00:23:14.73
For about 10 minutes.
00:23:14.76\00:23:16.13
10 to 12, may be 15
minutes depending on your oven.
00:23:16.16\00:23:19.35
And you take it out of the oven,
00:23:19.38\00:23:20.75
which we're going
to do. Here we go.
00:23:20.78\00:23:22.15
And we remove them.
Doesn't come in the dish.
00:23:22.18\00:23:25.24
No, we have some
nice cookies. Yes.
00:23:25.27\00:23:28.11
Some if you want-- I
like mine nice and toasty.
00:23:28.14\00:23:30.42
Yes. Some may prefer
them a little lighter.
00:23:30.45\00:23:32.89
Yeah. So whatever your choice
and they're very delicious.
00:23:32.92\00:23:36.29
And once again,
can you use cranberries
00:23:36.32\00:23:38.27
or another type of... You
can use any fruit you want.
00:23:38.30\00:23:42.18
Okay. But
cranberries unlike raisins,
00:23:42.21\00:23:45.28
have a bit more moisture.
00:23:45.31\00:23:46.85
Raisins are dried
fruit. Yeah, that's true.
00:23:46.88\00:23:48.81
So you see, your cookie batter
00:23:48.84\00:23:50.50
would be a little
bit more liquidly.
00:23:50.53\00:23:53.21
Oh, yeah, yeah. That's true.
00:23:53.24\00:23:56.41
Marvella. Yes.
