Oh! First of all, I place the sunflower seeds 02:17 in a blender and just ground them 02:19 that you can see and I've the old fashioned oatmeal. 02:25 Now the oatmeal, I noticed you didn't grind it up 02:28 in the blender. No. You just left it as it is. 02:30 Right, it gives it a firmer texture, I see. 02:34 And if you want the burger softer you can blend that. 02:38 Oh! Okay. So we're going to add 02:41 our dry ingredients, yes. 02:45 And we're going to mix them. 02:47 What is that you just added? 02:49 That's our pecan meal. Okay, all ground up. 02:51 Yes, our nutritional yeast flakes, 02:58 our other seasonings, okay, mix them, 03:02 very good Angela. She is learning very well, 03:05 yeah, yeah, there you go, get involved. 03:09 And our onions you may add more or less onions, okay, 03:14 depends on what you like, yes. 03:16 And what we're going to do after you really give 03:20 that a good stir because we want all those 03:23 seasonings to grow throughout the oatmeal. 03:27 We're going to take our liquids, 03:29 and we're going to mix them together 03:32 and then we're going to combine them 03:34 with our dry ingredients. Oh! Is that the Braggs? 03:37 Yes, this is the soy sauce, the Braggs Liquid Aminos 03:41 combined with the water. Okay. Alright! 03:46 Well looks like it's mix pretty good. 03:48 Okay, then I'll just pour this in. 03:51 And you will stir, stir it's already poured. 03:54 You've permission to do that. Thank you mam. 03:58 And stir it up very well, but you don't wanna 04:02 stir it over stir it, right, 04:03 because you don't wanna it gummy, okay. 04:05 The oatmeal has starch in it. 04:07 And you know, it's just like, if you cook rice 04:10 too long, yes, it will become gummy and starchy, 04:13 yes, yes. Well, the same principle 04:15 applies to other grains. 04:16 The more you cook and the more you stir 04:18 then the gummier it becomes, so don't want that. 04:21 I feel the texture; 04:23 did we put onion and garlic powder in here? 04:26 We're going to do that, a bit of that. 04:29 Oh! Yeah, starting to really feel. You feel that? 04:33 Yeah, pretty good. Okay, stick into it seasoning 04:36 and you can add more or less of this, 04:39 but I love onion and garlic. 04:42 Yes, boy smells good once again, 04:44 there is that smell. Now, we just mix it up and. 04:50 When you get it all mixed as you can see 04:53 we've our skillet and it's nice and hot. 04:56 We all love that skillet. 04:57 You say, someone gave that to you. 04:59 Yes, my friend Horsella gave it to me, there we go. 05:02 And once we stir this, we can make the burgers 05:06 as large as we like. Oh! Now, if you've a burger 05:10 press you may use that, okay, 05:13 or you can use your hands 05:15 or you can just drop them with the spoon, 05:19 and shake them once they get in the skillet. 05:21 Oh! Yes, a nice big one. 05:24 You hear that? Its sounds like its frying, yes, 05:27 just as though it has oil in it. 05:29 Once again no oil, I love that about you, 05:31 you never use any oil. 05:33 Well, I've discovered that is really not necessary, 05:37 yes, and it still comes out just like 05:42 you want it, you want it. 05:44 And what happens is when that heat in the skillet, 05:47 right, touches that burger it acts as a seal it, 05:54 and seals the bottom, so it kind of makes 05:56 a nice little crust on the bottom. 05:58 Okay, now you don't put any water 06:00 in the frying pan either. No, we don't want water. 06:03 I've seen some people do that, no? 06:04 Not on the burgers, okay, 06:06 because you want the burgers to be dry. 06:08 I see, so we've enough water 06:10 that's already in the burgers, right, 06:14 so we don't need add any to the skillet 06:16 because we wanted to be nice and tosty. 06:19 Now, do you make these for your children at school? 06:22 Absolutely, do they love this also? Yes, oh! 06:26 And as the matter of fact, 06:28 several of them have become vegetarians. 06:30 Oh! Really, even though their parents are not, 06:33 they've become vegetarians because they see 06:36 they can live and eat, that's right, 06:38 really delicious foods. Yeah, oh! Yeah. 06:40 Without having meat. There you go, marvelous. 06:46 Now the children are go to your school 06:48 are they all Adventist, 06:50 do they all come from Adventist? 06:52 No, they're not all Seventh-day Adventist. 06:53 Okay, so wonderful witness, yes, to be in that have. 06:58 We've different races of children in our school 07:02 different, different denominations, yes. 07:05 And we've a wonderful time. 07:07 We're like a family and way out in the country. 07:09 Oh! Really, and they love it, yes. 07:13 And we just have a wonderful time learning, yes, 07:16 and I think is the wonderful experience because 07:19 I learn to cook when I was ten years old. 07:22 And I appreciate my mother 07:25 teaching me home skills, yes. 07:28 And so, I know some parents really are working 07:31 and going to school, yeah, 07:33 they don't have the time to teach their children, yes, 07:36 many of things that I learned coming up, yes. 07:38 And so, I just take sometime and put it 07:42 into my curriculum to give them some practical skills. 07:44 And I like what you said, you learned 07:46 when you're ten years old, yes. 07:49 You mom was teaching you how to cook. 07:50 I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. 07:52 That's wonderful, oh Marvella this is great. 07:55 So, when this is done, you just turn them over, 07:59 about seven to ten minutes. How long that's it take? 08:01 Okay, and what we're gonna do is 08:03 you're gonna turn them over, yes, take the top off 08:06 and let them brown on the other side. 08:08 Oh! Wonderful, we don't want to put the top back on it 08:11 again because we don't want them to be soft, 08:14 oh yeah, yeah, the moisture keeps well coming up. 08:17 And so, we just let them dry out a little bit, 08:19 this when we flick them, yes, okay. Okay, great. 08:23 And at the end of the program we'll have, 08:24 we'll see the Sun Burgers. 08:26 We'll have our Sun Burgers for you to look at 08:29 and also you can make them yourselves. 08:31 And what do we're gonna make for our next recipe? 08:34 The next recipe is one of my new inventions called, 08:38 oh! Mava Java. Now, what is it called Mava Java? 08:42 Well, it's a substitute for coffee, yes, 08:44 and it's so tasty, it's an energy drink. Oh! 08:49 And it's made of some ingredients 08:53 that really gives us a charge for the day. 08:56 Well, let's look at those ingredients right now. 09:00 1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses 09:04 1 teaspoon of raw honey 1 cup of hot water, boiling 09:10 2 tablespoons of soymilk, and 09:13 1 teaspoon of carob powder. 09:16 Okay Marvella. Now this is a good alternative 09:19 for those who love coffee, yes. 09:21 And it's actually a lot better than coffee, isn't it? 09:26 Right, it's really a natural energy booster. 09:30 And you actually get energy. 09:31 You really do, and it's excellent for the blood 09:34 because blackstrap molasses, yes, 09:37 is a very high source of iron. 09:39 That's right, yes it is, that's right. 09:41 And so we need it, as a matter of fact 09:43 a carob powder, yeah, is also a good source. 09:46 So, is it, oh! And so, it makes a nice drink 09:50 for in the morning, yes, to get you going. 09:52 Yeah, instead of that coffee boost. 09:55 And it won't do damaged for diabetics. 09:59 Oh! Yeah, with the molasses and the honey 10:02 someone out there who is a diabetic may say, 10:04 oh the sugar, but is, 10:06 there is really no sugar, is there? 10:08 Well, this very little, yeah. 10:10 And we've a cup of water, yes, that will dilute it, 10:13 so it's not in concentrated amounts, okay. 10:16 And if you want a little less you can, 10:18 you don't have to add the sweetener. 10:21 Oh! That's true. You don't have to add that at all. 10:24 Okay, alright, well let's going with this. 10:27 Alright we've our water, that's already nice and hot. 10:31 Yes, we do, and we're going 10:32 to pour it in our cup, yeah. 10:35 At the end we're going to add our milk, 10:42 that's our creamer, that's right, that's soymilk, 10:45 put our blackstrap you notice 10:47 how thick and rich that is, yes. Wow! 10:50 And you're going to be surprise 10:52 that this really gives a nice flavor. 10:55 And what it does, it makes the blackstrap 10:59 now taste so strong. 11:02 You notice how it looks like, like chocolate, yeah. 11:04 Right and the carob give it a type of chocolate flavor 11:08 or like you would, drinking like you were drinking, 11:14 right, hot chocolate, yes. 11:16 And then our little sweetener and this is for those 11:19 who need just a taste of sweetness, the honey. 11:23 Isn't it nice? Wonderful, doesn't it look like coffee? 11:27 Yes, and I tell you, you could lighting it 11:30 with the little more soymilk. 11:31 If you wanted to add more soymilk, yes, 11:33 then you may do that, yes. 11:35 And it really tastes delicious. 11:38 I'm let you sample this.

Yes, do they? 12:21 They come to school every morning, even the children? 12:22 Yes, and I know they'll take the blackstrap straight. 12:25 No, no, no, but when you mix it with the milk 12:29 and the carob it tastes like hot chocolate. 12:31 Oh! My, yeah it does. So, I said, way to get 12:34 the iron inside, yes, in a very pleasant way. 12:37 Yes, pleasant taste in. Wow! 12:39 What we need to do since we've just made this 12:42 wonderful hot drink, we need to move on, yes, 12:45 to our next recipe, which is gonna be what Marvella? 12:48 A smoothie cool drink. Oh!

Okay, all these are just simple, 13:20 just make sure your bananas are right though. 13:23 Oh! Yes, and you freeze them. 13:24 You freeze the bananas. Now, why do you freeze them? 13:27 Because you want the smoothie to have a certain 13:31 consistency, you don't want it too slushy, 13:34 right, right; you wanted kind of firm and thick. 13:37 Okay, okay like a milkshake. Yes little bit thicker. 13:41 And the blueberries you can purchase 13:42 them in at any supermarket. 13:44 And these are frozen blueberries. 13:46 These are frozen blueberries. And this is grape juice, 13:49 oh! Just pure 100% grape juice. 13:51 That is so good for your blood, isn't that? 13:53 Absolutely! Because you know, the, the people and, 13:58 or the doctors I should say, 13:59 they're saying that this is good, wine is good 14:03 for you, but this is from the fruit of the wine. 14:05 That's right and the actual grape juice, 14:07 it's an excellent blood built. 14:08 Yes, yes, so this is excellent for you, for you. 14:12 You do not need the alcohol. 14:15 This is the fruit of the wine. 14:17 So we are to place our grape juice, 14:20 and this one she uses the wellicious. 14:22 Yes, and our berries, very good, and our bananas. 14:31 Now, I've made these without the bananas, 14:37 you can choose any two frozen fruits. 14:40 Oh! That's right, and any juice. How about pineapple? 14:44 That would be nice. I'll made them with 14:45 pineapple and strawberries, yes, and banana. 14:48 Oh! My, it makes them altogether. 14:50 Yes, just like we're doing today. 14:53 You put your juice in and your two frozen fruits. 14:56 Okay and you may or may not use an extra sweetener, 15:01 okay, depends on how sweet the fruit is. 15:04 Now, if you can get some fruit that was picked ripe, 15:07 yes, it would be sweeter than some other fruit. 15:10 Oh! So, you don't have-to-have it, 15:13 but it adds a little bit of flavor 15:16 and we're going to blend this. 15:34 There we go; you can smell that, yes. 15:38 I'm gonna pour this in here, 15:40 it give you little sample how about that? 15:43 Okay, would like that, would like that, 15:45 nice and full and thick, I like that. 15:51 Okay, now let's get a little taste here, here goes. 15:58 Marvelous!

You're right, you're right. 18:49 Now, we've quite a bit of ingredients for this. 18:52 What is this right here? 18:54 This is old fashioned oatmeal. 18:57 Oh! The regular oatmeal regular 19:01 whole grain oats, whole grain, okay. 19:03 So, what are we gonna do now with this? 19:05 We're going to combine all of our dry ingredients. 19:10 Okay, I'll just put these. 19:12 Now, those raisins, raisins, you can add the raisins 19:16 after the Granola is baked or before, 19:19 oh! It's your preference, okay. 19:21 So, this is like a trial mix, isn't it? 19:25 Similar, yeah. Then this is our shredded coconut, 19:30 okay. Finely shredded coconut. 19:35 And our raw sunflower seeds, okay. 19:41 So, mix it all up. 19:43 This, this works your facial muscles. 19:47 When you eat this Venoli 19:48 you get the chewing exercise, 19:51 you get a good workout for your face. 19:52 And it keeps your facial muscles toned. 19:55 Oh! I like that. Now these are pumpkin seeds, 19:57 did you know, that these work excellent for parasites? 20:01 What? If you have parasites, if you just fast 20:04 one day and eat nothing, but pumpkin seeds, 20:06 that will have get rid of those worms. 20:09 Pumpkin seed is that good for you? 20:11 Absolutely, it's high in zinc. 20:13 Oh! In zinc, yes. Wow! 20:15 Then we're gonna add our sea salts. 20:18 Oh! Even the little sea salt. 20:21 And this is our coriander. 20:25 And what is coriander good for us? 20:27 Is that, is that the cinnamon type. 20:29 It's, well it's similar in the way 20:31 that we use it as a nice mild spice. 20:36 And once you get that all mixed, okay. 20:38 I'm going to combine our liquid ingredients. 20:43 Now, now what do you put it in there? 20:45 This is our maple syrup long with our honey, okay. 20:52 And then we're going to add our coconut milk. 20:57 I would like that coconut milk, 20:59 I'm as many of you know, I'm, I'm Jamaican 21:02 and I, we make a lot of things with coconut milk, 21:05 like our Jamaican rice and peas, 21:08 we make with coconut milk, yes. 21:10 And our many dishes I add coconut milk to like, 21:15 if you wanna make a gravy I usually have add the 21:18 coconut milk because it add such a nice, nice flavor. 21:21 Yes, it does. To your meal. 21:23 Now, we're going to mix this really well. 21:25 And you notice that the coconut milk 21:28 is somewhat thick, yes, 21:30 but coconut naturally had some fat in it. 21:34 Yes, it you know, quite a bit of fat. 21:36 And so, we use a small amount. 21:38 And this helps keeps the Granola nice 21:43 and not too hard, right, but crunchy. 21:47 Okay and then again is that added flavor. 21:51 Okay, now we're going to just make a little well 21:55 in the center and pour this 21:58 and we're gonna let you mix it for us. 22:03 Okay, alright, there we go. 22:06 You get a little exercise. 22:08 And that's why the exercise my arms 22:09 and will exercise my mouth to make muscles. 22:12 Make sure that all of the liquid saturates, 22:17 okay, all of the dry ingredients. 22:19 Oh! It didn't look like much liquid in here, right? 22:23 No, not, but you'll see once you really mix it well. 22:27 Oh! I see, okay, see that moisture, 22:29 it will be just enough to give it the affect 22:31 that you wanted to have, which is just slightly moist, 22:34 so that it will bake well 22:37 in the oven and add the flavor. 22:39 Now Marvella you said to me that your son 22:42 has been raised a vegetarian in all his life. 22:45 Yes. He is 30 years old now, yeah, 22:48 and he is still chooses this lifestyle, praise the God. 22:51 And you said he has never been ill. 22:53 I've never had to take him 22:54 to the hospital or doctor for sicknesses. 22:57 That's wonderful. Yes that's a blessing 23:00 straight from the Lord. That's right. 23:03 Now I've this. Do I need to stir it some more? 23:06 Just get around the sides. Oh!
