If you are any thing like me,
00:00:01.40\00:00:02.77
practice is a hard
meal for you to cook for.
00:00:02.80\00:00:04.69
You think I'm
getting going in the morning.
00:00:04.72\00:00:06.56
I'm getting
dressed. I'm getting ready.
00:00:06.59\00:00:08.32
I don't have time to cook.
00:00:08.35\00:00:10.10
But today we
have some fast, easy,
00:00:10.13\00:00:12.31
delicious recipes
for you for breakfast.
00:00:12.34\00:00:15.90
Hello, friends, I
want to welcome you to,
00:00:46.74\00:00:48.77
"Let's Cook Together".
00:00:48.80\00:00:50.23
I'm your host Jill Marikone
00:00:50.26\00:00:52.18
and I have a very special
guest with me here today.
00:00:52.21\00:00:55.08
Her name is Maria Ronquillo.
00:00:55.11\00:00:56.74
That's correct.
00:00:56.77\00:00:58.14
Welcome, Maria.
00:00:58.17\00:00:59.54
We are so happy
to have you here.
00:00:59.57\00:01:00.94
Well, thank you so much.
00:01:00.97\00:01:02.34
And I'm glad to be here myself.
00:01:02.37\00:01:03.82
And Maria is--
she has a ministry,
00:01:03.85\00:01:06.41
it's called Salud
Para Hoy. That's right.
00:01:06.44\00:01:08.98
And that means, I
don't know much Spanish,
00:01:09.01\00:01:11.04
but I believe that
means "health for today."
00:01:11.07\00:01:13.45
That's correct. You
are doing very good today.
00:01:13.48\00:01:15.49
You remember
everything what good memory.
00:01:15.52\00:01:18.05
Must be the good food you eat.
00:01:18.08\00:01:19.81
Tell me a little
bit about your ministry
00:01:19.84\00:01:21.40
before we start cooking.
00:01:21.43\00:01:22.80
Well, it's a health
ministry that we started
00:01:22.83\00:01:26.26
specifically to cater
to the Spanish population,
00:01:26.29\00:01:31.92
but just everybody
else as well of course,
00:01:31.95\00:01:34.80
because health is for everybody
not just for the Spanish.
00:01:34.83\00:01:37.77
But we do have a need
for Spanish ministries
00:01:37.80\00:01:41.15
that address them
of the health issues
00:01:41.18\00:01:43.88
that are so important nowadays
like some of the diabetes,
00:01:43.91\00:01:47.29
some of the heart
disease, some of the cancer,
00:01:47.32\00:01:49.49
some of the obesity, some
of the high blood pressures
00:01:49.52\00:01:51.75
that we are suffering because
when we come to this country
00:01:51.78\00:01:55.29
as immigrants
not just the Spanish,
00:01:55.32\00:01:57.33
but all the other groups as well
we adopt the American lifestyle
00:01:57.36\00:02:03.14
and along with that comes
the diet and unfortunately--
00:02:03.17\00:02:05.91
Well, that comes the diabetes
00:02:05.94\00:02:07.67
and the heart disease
and cancer all of the times.
00:02:07.70\00:02:09.47
Exactly, because
a lot of the diet
00:02:09.50\00:02:11.12
is based on fast
foods, greasy foods etc.
00:02:11.15\00:02:13.27
All of those things.
00:02:13.30\00:02:14.73
And unfortunately that creates
problems for people who are--
00:02:14.76\00:02:18.66
sometimes have the
genetic tendency like Hispanics
00:02:18.69\00:02:22.19
to have these diseases.
00:02:22.22\00:02:23.81
So there is a lot of need
for this kind of ministry.
00:02:23.84\00:02:25.70
So you go out and do seminars
00:02:25.73\00:02:28.03
and cooking
classes or what you do?
00:02:28.06\00:02:29.67
Both. Both?
00:02:29.70\00:02:31.07
We do cooking classes and
we also do health seminars
00:02:31.10\00:02:34.13
about nutrition
and all the things
00:02:34.16\00:02:37.18
related to these diseases.
00:02:37.21\00:02:38.71
And how to prevent the diseases,
00:02:38.74\00:02:40.65
and how to improve your health,
00:02:40.68\00:02:42.90
and how to cook healthier,
00:02:42.93\00:02:44.91
all those things
that are necessary.
00:02:44.94\00:02:46.31
I like the fact that you
do the demonstrations too
00:02:46.34\00:02:47.76
'cause I know for me sometimes
00:02:47.79\00:02:49.16
if someone just
told me information
00:02:49.19\00:02:50.56
I'd say "well,
that sounds really good
00:02:50.59\00:02:52.32
but it probably
doesn't taste very good."
00:02:52.35\00:02:54.20
But it's really
need if you think,
00:02:54.23\00:02:55.64
"wow, this really
tastes good and it's easy too."
00:02:55.67\00:02:57.88
Exactly, exactly.
00:02:57.91\00:02:59.35
So that's the people need.
00:02:59.38\00:03:00.75
They need to know how
to cook better sometimes.
00:03:00.78\00:03:03.17
So this is a very
important to work for that.
00:03:03.20\00:03:05.68
Good. Good.
Well, let's get going.
00:03:05.71\00:03:07.08
We are making first
French toast, is that correct?
00:03:07.11\00:03:09.11
Yes. We are gonna
make breakfast foods
00:03:09.14\00:03:10.97
that are easy to prepare
00:03:11.00\00:03:12.94
because like you said
earlier a lot of time,
00:03:12.97\00:03:15.38
a lot of people
don't have time. Yes.
00:03:15.41\00:03:17.64
And they think,
but you know what,
00:03:17.67\00:03:19.38
breakfast is the most
important meal of the day.
00:03:19.41\00:03:21.67
It really gets you going.
00:03:21.70\00:03:23.29
And when you go out of
the house without breakfast
00:03:23.32\00:03:26.29
it's like leaving the
house with a car with no gas.
00:03:26.32\00:03:30.08
Yeah. Go get--
00:03:30.11\00:03:31.48
And you have to
drive all the way to work.
00:03:31.51\00:03:33.42
It could be 20 or 30
miles and you have no gas,
00:03:33.45\00:03:35.73
how you gonna get there.
00:03:35.76\00:03:37.13
But sometimes we don't think
00:03:37.16\00:03:38.53
in those terms with our bodies.
00:03:38.56\00:03:40.01
And our bodies need
fuel as well in the morning.
00:03:40.04\00:03:43.13
Absolutely.
00:03:43.16\00:03:44.53
Oh, well. Let's read our first
recipe for the French toast.
00:03:44.56\00:03:46.83
Okay. Let's do the
French toast ingredients.
00:03:46.86\00:03:49.22
For the French toast you need...
00:03:49.25\00:03:50.62
All right. That's right.
00:04:06.30\00:04:07.71
So this should be a
very simple quick recipe
00:04:07.74\00:04:11.75
and I have used
the tofu here that,
00:04:11.78\00:04:15.52
usually I use the mori-nu tofu
00:04:15.55\00:04:17.29
and I found this
other option for the tofu
00:04:17.32\00:04:20.43
that is not really Mori-nu.
00:04:20.46\00:04:22.31
And this is actually
another good silken tofu.
00:04:22.34\00:04:26.58
Do you know I
have never seen them?
00:04:26.61\00:04:27.98
I always think, "oh, well,
00:04:28.01\00:04:29.38
the only option I have
is Mori-nu. So that's new.
00:04:29.41\00:04:30.78
Yeah, But I'm
glad that they have
00:04:30.81\00:04:32.53
another option
now for this because,
00:04:32.56\00:04:35.84
you know, sometimes
you are looking for Mori-nu
00:04:35.87\00:04:37.75
you can't find
it out or whatever
00:04:37.78\00:04:39.15
and now some of the major stores
00:04:39.18\00:04:41.06
are actually
starting to carry this.
00:04:41.09\00:04:43.46
So I think
that's pretty good news.
00:04:43.49\00:04:45.50
And so let's go
ahead and open this package
00:04:45.53\00:04:47.63
and the easiest way
is with some scissors.
00:04:47.66\00:04:49.91
Yeah, that's nice and easy.
00:04:49.94\00:04:51.34
You can do with knife too,
00:04:51.37\00:04:52.74
but it's a
little more complicated.
00:04:52.77\00:04:54.88
So let's put it in our blender.
00:04:54.91\00:04:58.78
Here you go.
00:04:58.81\00:05:00.18
Okay. So this
will be silken tofu.
00:05:00.21\00:05:02.24
You know, that's the difference,
00:05:02.27\00:05:03.64
there is a little bit difference
between the silken tofu and--
00:05:03.67\00:05:05.97
And the water
pack. The water pack.
00:05:06.00\00:05:07.53
This is better for this
kind of creamy applications.
00:05:07.56\00:05:11.09
You know, creamy-- Yes.
It's not quite so grainy.
00:05:11.12\00:05:12.95
It's not quite so
grainy and it's really good
00:05:12.98\00:05:15.73
because it gives you a
really good creamy end product.
00:05:15.76\00:05:20.18
So let's put the
rest of our ingredients.
00:05:20.21\00:05:24.37
Let's put the
honey may be we can get
00:05:24.40\00:05:25.87
a little bit of
spatchula and scrape it out.
00:05:25.90\00:05:31.92
And just a little bit of sweet.
00:05:31.95\00:05:33.65
Yeah, it is just a little bit
and it's, well it's optional.
00:05:33.68\00:05:36.73
You can use other
sweeteners as well I guess
00:05:36.76\00:05:39.85
just like the honey.
00:05:39.88\00:05:41.76
And you can put a little bit
more or little bit less I guess
00:05:41.79\00:05:44.45
depending on your own taste.
00:05:44.48\00:05:46.52
And let's put a little bit of
the turmeric. This is optional.
00:05:46.55\00:05:48.53
This just kind of gives a little
bit of yellow color that's all.
00:05:48.56\00:05:51.78
And just a tiny bit of water,
00:05:51.81\00:05:55.04
just enough to run the blender
and may be a little bit more--
00:05:55.07\00:05:58.85
So what work for is to
add all that tofu in there.
00:05:58.88\00:06:01.06
Yeah, and it's because we
also gonna dip the bread in.
00:06:01.09\00:06:03.67
So it has to be no so thick
00:06:03.70\00:06:06.29
because if it's too
thick then you gonna--
00:06:06.32\00:06:08.29
it's gonna be hard.
00:06:08.32\00:06:09.81
You know what that's all.
00:06:09.84\00:06:11.21
Let's try this much water
00:06:11.24\00:06:12.61
and then we will
see what happens.
00:06:12.64\00:06:14.01
All right. You know, I
really like this recipe, Maria.
00:06:14.04\00:06:15.41
There are only four ingredients.
00:06:15.44\00:06:16.81
I don't know if you
guys noticed that at home.
00:06:16.84\00:06:18.29
We have tofu and
water and the turmeric,
00:06:18.32\00:06:20.50
which you don't even
have to put it in the honey.
00:06:20.53\00:06:22.50
That's really three ingredients.
00:06:22.53\00:06:23.90
Well, and then
we gonna use bread.
00:06:23.93\00:06:25.30
Right. Okay. So--
00:06:25.33\00:06:26.70
But that just
comes out of the bag.
00:06:26.73\00:06:28.10
Yeah, exactly.
So let's blend this.
00:06:28.13\00:06:29.50
Okay.
00:06:29.53\00:06:30.90
Let me...
00:06:41.21\00:06:42.97
stir just a little bit
and check the consistency.
00:06:43.00\00:06:47.48
Is that about how you wanted
00:06:47.51\00:06:48.88
or do you want it
thinner or how do you like it?
00:06:48.91\00:06:50.49
Maybe let's do a
little bit thinner.
00:06:50.52\00:06:53.27
Okay. Little bit more water.
00:06:53.30\00:06:56.30
But then again people
at home will have to try.
00:06:56.33\00:07:00.18
That's right. You
can do how you like it.
00:07:00.21\00:07:01.58
How they like it. That's right.
00:07:01.61\00:07:02.98
Exactly. So let's
put the lid back on.
00:07:03.01\00:07:05.91
Yeah, it's a tough
lid. And let's just blend.
00:07:05.94\00:07:09.26
We are done.
00:07:18.65\00:07:20.02
Oh, that's easy. I like that.
00:07:20.05\00:07:21.72
That's very easy.
You wanna pour that.
00:07:21.75\00:07:23.41
We brought a pretty plate.
00:07:23.44\00:07:24.81
Your plate
doesn't have to be pretty.
00:07:24.84\00:07:26.21
It is just that
we found this nice,
00:07:26.24\00:07:28.58
perfect shape of plate
00:07:28.61\00:07:30.09
for this
particular thing we are doing.
00:07:30.12\00:07:32.84
Can you see that?
Yeah, I could see it.
00:07:32.87\00:07:34.72
I'm just gonna try to
split as much as possible
00:07:34.75\00:07:37.80
because we don't wanna waste.
00:07:37.83\00:07:39.20
Absolutely. My mom
always used to say that,
00:07:39.23\00:07:41.33
"don't waste any thing."
00:07:41.36\00:07:42.73
Especially this
wonderful tasting creamy thing.
00:07:42.76\00:07:45.66
That's Right.
00:07:45.69\00:07:47.06
That we are gonna
use. So why waste?
00:07:47.09\00:07:50.36
Okay. Now we have, you can use,
00:07:50.39\00:07:53.06
what can you use for this?
00:07:53.09\00:07:54.51
What do you
usually do for fridge.
00:07:54.54\00:07:56.05
We can use a griddle. A griddle.
00:07:56.08\00:07:58.40
What else, I guess a pan
or shallow pan to do work.
00:07:58.43\00:08:01.86
We just gonna spray slightly.
00:08:01.89\00:08:04.42
With some oil spray,
00:08:04.45\00:08:06.63
you can use canola
oil spray if you like.
00:08:06.66\00:08:09.31
I don't like to use the--
00:08:09.34\00:08:12.25
It's nice and hot. I
can see it's heating.
00:08:12.28\00:08:13.65
Yeah, it's hot already.
00:08:13.68\00:08:15.05
So yeah that's,
it's smoking almost.
00:08:15.08\00:08:17.56
But we gonna
ahead and then hurry up
00:08:17.59\00:08:19.07
and put this on...
00:08:19.10\00:08:22.39
slide it to the
other end of it 'cause--
00:08:22.42\00:08:24.80
It's tilted.
00:08:24.83\00:08:26.20
It's little bit
tilted, but it's okay.
00:08:26.23\00:08:28.26
It will still
work. It will still work.
00:08:28.29\00:08:33.29
Boy, it looks good.
00:08:33.32\00:08:35.03
Just kind of
dip those like that.
00:08:35.06\00:08:37.08
Now can you make
this ahead of time too?
00:08:37.11\00:08:39.17
Could we do that?
00:08:39.20\00:08:40.57
Yes, you could do
it ahead of time and--
00:08:40.60\00:08:42.96
Or is it tastes best
if it's done right there?
00:08:42.99\00:08:44.56
Well, not necessarily
00:08:44.59\00:08:45.96
because I do it
ahead of time sometimes.
00:08:45.99\00:08:47.85
We gonna have a spatchula
00:08:47.88\00:08:49.25
and I'm just gonna
cover that little piece there.
00:08:49.28\00:08:51.68
I do it ahead of
time sometimes and...
00:08:51.71\00:08:56.44
I think it works
fine. All right. All right.
00:08:56.47\00:08:58.86
I think it works
fine to re heated.
00:08:58.89\00:09:00.43
My daughter, we
make home like this
00:09:00.46\00:09:03.29
and then my daughter, well,
00:09:03.32\00:09:05.56
they both eat the French toasts.
00:09:05.59\00:09:08.50
But if we don't finish
all of the slices of bread
00:09:08.53\00:09:11.69
then we put some
in the refrigerator
00:09:11.72\00:09:13.88
and then we keep it
until later. That's nice.
00:09:13.91\00:09:16.75
So, it works out fine.
00:09:16.78\00:09:18.81
So you could even
make it the night before
00:09:18.84\00:09:20.37
if you rushed
for time or something
00:09:20.40\00:09:21.77
and then in the morning
just put it into your bowl
00:09:21.80\00:09:24.20
and dip it in
and fire. Yeah. Nice.
00:09:24.23\00:09:25.94
Very nice. Oh, yeah.
00:09:25.97\00:09:27.34
You need the cream you
can make anytime you want.
00:09:27.37\00:09:29.16
Yeah, that's
good. Anytime you want,
00:09:29.19\00:09:30.56
put it in the fridge
absolutely that'll work.
00:09:30.59\00:09:33.94
What you want to do is flip them
00:09:33.97\00:09:35.55
after they're nice
and brown on each side,
00:09:35.58\00:09:37.74
you know, and they will look
like your regular French toast.
00:09:37.77\00:09:41.95
I was telling you
earlier French toasts
00:09:41.98\00:09:43.40
was one of the
recipes that I didn't use to
00:09:43.43\00:09:46.17
like too much before.
00:09:46.20\00:09:47.57
I stopped eating
the animal products
00:09:47.60\00:09:50.14
because that is
normally done in egg
00:09:50.17\00:09:52.16
and I just gonna see
myself putting sweet--
00:09:52.19\00:09:55.21
The sweet stuck
with egg together.
00:09:55.24\00:09:56.61
Topping over the egg
makes and it always kept
00:09:56.64\00:09:59.72
that little bit of
an egg taste to it.
00:09:59.75\00:10:02.20
So I just didn't
quite see myself doing that.
00:10:02.23\00:10:05.86
But with this, I would see
myself eating this anytime.
00:10:05.89\00:10:08.94
I can't wait to try. Yeah, so--
00:10:08.97\00:10:10.34
And so our friends
at home you gonna see
00:10:10.37\00:10:11.94
the finished product
at the end of the program.
00:10:11.97\00:10:14.03
We will show you the French
toast where it's all done.
00:10:14.06\00:10:15.89
Well, let's make a
topping above this cooks
00:10:15.92\00:10:19.17
and may be we'll
have time to show
00:10:19.20\00:10:20.57
how the topping will go over
the French toast. Absolutely.
00:10:20.60\00:10:23.05
Would you like to read
the recipe for us, Maria?
00:10:23.08\00:10:24.65
Let's go ahead
and read the recipe
00:10:24.68\00:10:26.05
of the fruit
topping we are gonna make.
00:10:26.08\00:10:27.45
Okay. Okay, so
fruit topping has...
00:10:27.48\00:10:29.58
Well, this fruit looks
really good here, Maria.
00:10:43.35\00:10:45.41
Yeah, yeah. I love fruit.
00:10:45.44\00:10:46.81
I got this as a
frozen kind of fruit,
00:10:46.84\00:10:48.84
but you can use just
about any fruit you like.
00:10:48.87\00:10:52.14
The one at the end of
you're having it frozen
00:10:52.17\00:10:53.79
is that you can pour it
00:10:53.82\00:10:55.19
right onto the
frozen juice concentration
00:10:55.22\00:10:57.53
because we gonna heat
the frozen juice concentrate.
00:10:57.56\00:10:59.76
Now this is our apple
juice concentration, right?
00:10:59.79\00:11:01.54
Yeah, it's apple
juice concentrate.
00:11:01.57\00:11:03.03
You see it's
already melting here.
00:11:03.06\00:11:05.10
It's not frozen anymore.
00:11:05.13\00:11:07.32
And what we gonna do is to
heat it until it starts boiling.
00:11:07.35\00:11:11.27
And in the meantime
while we wait for this to boil
00:11:11.30\00:11:14.13
we can go ahead
and put the cornstarch
00:11:14.16\00:11:17.56
right into our water and mix it.
00:11:17.59\00:11:21.36
Now the reason you
do this ahead of time
00:11:21.39\00:11:22.90
would be to prevent
the lumps, is that right?
00:11:22.93\00:11:25.07
Yes, that right
because otherwise you can have
00:11:25.10\00:11:28.44
a bunch of lumpy stuff.
00:11:28.47\00:11:30.61
So yeah, we want to
dissolve it really well,
00:11:30.64\00:11:32.34
and the good
thing about cornstarch
00:11:32.37\00:11:33.74
is at first it's
a little bit hard,
00:11:33.77\00:11:35.14
but then you start
mixing it and gets easy.
00:11:35.17\00:11:36.64
And it gets really easy
and it dissolves really good.
00:11:36.67\00:11:39.81
There you go.
00:11:39.84\00:11:41.21
And so we are gonna use
the apple juice concentrate
00:11:41.24\00:11:44.82
instead of actual, you know,
00:11:44.85\00:11:46.67
how people put
syrup on their pancakes,
00:11:46.70\00:11:50.35
French toast, muffles.
00:11:50.38\00:11:52.11
And the syrup really
doesn't have much nutrition.
00:11:52.14\00:11:55.37
It's true. It's true.
00:11:55.40\00:11:56.77
So, instead of that we're using
the apple juice concentrate
00:11:56.80\00:11:59.18
with a little bit
more natural sugars.
00:11:59.21\00:12:01.60
It is right and a sweet too.
00:12:01.63\00:12:03.19
And it is sweet,
00:12:03.22\00:12:04.59
and the children really
love it, let me tell you.
00:12:04.62\00:12:06.73
And I ask people that I have
00:12:06.76\00:12:08.13
come to my house
I have served this.
00:12:08.16\00:12:09.53
And they're pretty
surprising how tasty,
00:12:09.56\00:12:11.75
how tasty this is.
00:12:11.78\00:12:13.15
So see how we're
starting to see boiling now.
00:12:13.18\00:12:14.64
Starting to boil, yeah.
00:12:14.67\00:12:16.04
Okay. So go we'll go
ahead and pour this over slowly.
00:12:16.07\00:12:22.22
And we gonna go ahead and
start stirring as we pour.
00:12:22.25\00:12:27.26
And what will happen is---
00:12:27.29\00:12:29.86
What you think will happen?
00:12:29.89\00:12:31.26
It's gonna thicken.
Thickening, exactly.
00:12:31.29\00:12:33.09
As it boils the
cornstarch starts thickening.
00:12:33.12\00:12:36.21
So without
saying, is that if we use
00:12:36.24\00:12:38.52
the frozen fruit you can
defroster it a little bit
00:12:38.55\00:12:41.87
or you can use a frozen--
00:12:41.90\00:12:43.87
Because this is warm
you got a pour it over.
00:12:43.90\00:12:45.47
Exactly. This is
gonna be very hot
00:12:45.50\00:12:47.70
so the frozen fruit
will be fine with it,
00:12:47.73\00:12:51.36
but if you gonna use
fresh fruit you may want to wait
00:12:51.39\00:12:54.05
until this cools
down a little bit.
00:12:54.08\00:12:55.77
That's the only difference.
00:12:55.80\00:12:57.17
Yeah, otherwise
you'll overcook your fruit.
00:12:57.20\00:12:58.89
Yeah. Well, you can do that
too may people eat fruit soup.
00:12:58.92\00:13:02.49
Absolutely. I like fruit soup.
00:13:02.52\00:13:04.30
Fruit soup is good.
00:13:04.33\00:13:05.70
There's one thing that
I wasn't really use to--
00:13:05.73\00:13:09.84
Let you know, see
what's happened here.
00:13:09.87\00:13:11.24
It's getting thick.
00:13:11.27\00:13:12.64
Yeah, you'll see the--
00:13:12.67\00:13:14.16
And it kind of changes colors.
00:13:14.19\00:13:15.56
Exactly. I was
just gonna say that.
00:13:15.59\00:13:16.96
It changes colors and become
00:13:16.99\00:13:18.57
more as a clear liquid
as supposed to the cloudy.
00:13:18.60\00:13:22.22
Okay, so that's
pretty much done.
00:13:22.25\00:13:25.10
Now we're gonna do--
00:13:25.13\00:13:26.50
Well, its thick
because we're gonna add
00:13:26.53\00:13:27.90
the fruit to it any way.
00:13:27.93\00:13:29.30
Shut that off there?
00:13:29.33\00:13:30.70
Yeah and let's dump
the fruit right in it.
00:13:30.73\00:13:33.09
Okay, Here we go.
00:13:33.12\00:13:36.26
That's look good, look
at that, the strawberries
00:13:36.29\00:13:38.31
and grapes and peaches and--
00:13:38.34\00:13:40.06
Yummy. That's great.
00:13:40.09\00:13:42.08
That's yummy.
Oh, that looks good.
00:13:42.11\00:13:44.29
You guys, I'm getting
hungry looking at this.
00:13:44.32\00:13:46.47
Did you have
breakfast? I did but--
00:13:46.50\00:13:48.83
I'm still hungry. I
could eat some more.
00:13:48.86\00:13:51.94
Yes, as breakfast is
the biggest meal of the day,
00:13:51.97\00:13:54.03
maybe you can have
a second part of it.
00:13:54.06\00:13:56.52
There you go, a
little delay breakfast.
00:13:56.55\00:13:59.29
That's right.
Now, let's bring out--
00:13:59.32\00:14:00.69
Uh, it smells good too.
00:14:00.72\00:14:02.09
French toast.
00:14:02.12\00:14:04.72
Well, this looks good.
00:14:04.75\00:14:06.12
I don't know if you
guys can see this at home
00:14:06.15\00:14:07.52
but actually the
turmeric really gives
00:14:07.55\00:14:09.05
the French
toast the yellow color
00:14:09.08\00:14:10.45
and it really looks
like there is egg on that.
00:14:10.48\00:14:11.88
Yeah, it really
does. So we just--
00:14:11.91\00:14:14.06
Now you can put a little
bit less cornstarch if you like
00:14:14.09\00:14:17.53
that is more-- or
more liquid either way,
00:14:17.56\00:14:20.16
and it's runnier,
or you can leave it--
00:14:20.19\00:14:21.96
Oh, that smells good.
00:14:21.99\00:14:23.51
Yeah. And so look at in that,
00:14:23.54\00:14:25.54
fruit really
makes it look pretty.
00:14:25.57\00:14:27.37
Absolutely. Oh, that's nice.
00:14:27.40\00:14:29.26
Ready to eat.
00:14:29.29\00:14:30.72
That's right I'm ready to eat.
00:14:30.75\00:14:32.12
Now, this we'll also use
for our next recipe. Okay.
00:14:32.15\00:14:35.10
To top off our next recipe.
00:14:35.13\00:14:36.50
We are making
waffles, isn't it right?
00:14:36.53\00:14:37.90
Let's make waffles. all right.
00:14:37.93\00:14:39.30
Easy waffles. Oh, I like that.
00:14:39.33\00:14:40.86
Okay, you want
to read our recipe.
00:14:40.89\00:14:42.26
I will, for easy
waffles we need...
00:14:42.29\00:14:45.45
Now I understand, Maria,
00:15:01.93\00:15:03.30
that there-- you
have a special friend
00:15:03.33\00:15:04.91
who showed you this recipe.
00:15:04.94\00:15:07.26
Yeah, well, one
time we went to her house
00:15:07.29\00:15:08.66
and she just made it and
she was entertaining as I guess,
00:15:08.69\00:15:12.53
little snack for
the evening I guess,
00:15:12.56\00:15:14.63
I had light meal and
she made waffles. Oh.
00:15:14.66\00:15:17.01
And that was so
easy, quick and delicious.
00:15:17.04\00:15:19.61
I go share the recipe with me.
00:15:19.64\00:15:21.01
So her name is
Elsa, and my friend Elsa
00:15:21.04\00:15:23.49
gave me this wonderful recipe.
00:15:23.52\00:15:25.09
So let's go hit and put the oats
00:15:25.12\00:15:27.40
in the blender
and you grab the oats.
00:15:27.43\00:15:30.39
There you go. Okay.
00:15:30.42\00:15:32.16
And what we're gonna
do is just blend the oats
00:15:32.19\00:15:35.39
along with some-well,
let's put the soymilk.
00:15:35.42\00:15:40.60
And what I do is that
00:15:40.63\00:15:43.79
I put enough liquid to blend.
00:15:43.82\00:15:48.64
And the water
varies a little bit
00:15:48.67\00:15:50.15
because sometimes depends
on the blender too. Right.
00:15:50.18\00:15:53.07
But sometimes the
oats absorb more water
00:15:53.10\00:15:55.98
than other times. Yes.
00:15:56.01\00:15:57.38
Depends on whether
you use the rolled oats,
00:15:57.41\00:16:00.36
oh, here's the walnuts, I
was looking for the walnuts.
00:16:00.39\00:16:02.95
It depends on whether you use
00:16:02.98\00:16:04.77
the rolled oats
or the quick oats.
00:16:04.80\00:16:06.56
You recommend the rolled oats?
00:16:06.59\00:16:07.96
Is that what you
need to use or...
00:16:07.99\00:16:09.36
It doesn't
matter for this recipe
00:16:09.39\00:16:10.76
because you blend them any way.
00:16:10.79\00:16:12.16
All right that's nice.
00:16:12.19\00:16:13.56
So but some times
the age of the oats--
00:16:13.59\00:16:15.29
I don't know why but some
times they absorb more water
00:16:15.32\00:16:17.20
than the other
times, so I try to go
00:16:17.23\00:16:19.78
and first run the
blender, see how it goes... Yes.
00:16:19.81\00:16:22.66
You don't want
it to be too runny,
00:16:22.69\00:16:24.62
but you don't
want it to be so thick
00:16:24.65\00:16:26.02
-that you can't even blend.
-So thick, you can't even--
00:16:26.05\00:16:27.42
and when you pour it
in your waffle maker,
00:16:27.45\00:16:28.82
-it's too thick. -It's
too thick anyway. Yeah.
00:16:28.85\00:16:30.22
Now I was gonna ask
you about the raisins,
00:16:30.25\00:16:31.62
you put the
raisins in for sweetener?
00:16:31.65\00:16:33.13
Yeah. All right.
00:16:33.16\00:16:34.53
Yeah, it just gives a
little bit of sweet taste.
00:16:34.56\00:16:35.99
I'm just gonna add
a little bit of water,
00:16:36.02\00:16:37.60
just spill some, just a
little bit of water. Okay.
00:16:37.63\00:16:40.26
We wanna blend until the walnuts
00:16:40.29\00:16:41.88
basically are well blended,
that's all. The almonds.
00:16:41.91\00:16:43.88
I mean, sorry,
almonds, that's correct.
00:16:43.91\00:16:45.28
Can we use walnuts for recipe?
00:16:45.31\00:16:46.68
You can use
walnuts, you can use cashews,
00:16:46.71\00:16:48.20
you can use just about
any nut, really. That's nice.
00:16:48.23\00:16:50.06
So almonds is just one option.
00:16:50.09\00:16:51.87
So let's start
blending, see what happens.
00:16:51.90\00:16:53.53
Now at home you would
blend this for quite a while,
00:17:07.47\00:17:10.62
depending on your blender,
00:17:10.65\00:17:14.22
depending on the
kind of nut you're using,
00:17:14.25\00:17:15.75
because some-- cashews,
00:17:15.78\00:17:17.15
for instance, are
softer than almonds.
00:17:17.18\00:17:19.44
Almonds take a
long time to blend.
00:17:19.47\00:17:20.90
So let's blend
a little bit more,
00:17:20.93\00:17:22.68
let's see how it doing with it.
00:17:22.71\00:17:24.08
Yeah, we need a
little bit more blending.
00:17:24.11\00:17:25.48
And is that thin enough?
00:17:25.51\00:17:26.88
You've got enough water in it.
00:17:26.91\00:17:28.28
Yeah, that's
good. You know what?
00:17:28.31\00:17:29.68
This is good because at
first it's gonna be thin,
00:17:29.71\00:17:31.08
but as it sits it's
just gonna get thicker.
00:17:31.11\00:17:32.48
It thickens because the
oats absorb the more water.
00:17:32.51\00:17:33.88
Exactly. Right.
00:17:33.91\00:17:35.28
So let's just blend
one more time. Okay.
00:17:35.31\00:17:37.61
So let's try to see
what happened. All right.
00:17:50.58\00:17:54.39
We'll see if it's--
It's looking pretty good.
00:17:54.42\00:17:56.29
It's looking pretty good.
00:17:56.32\00:17:58.22
Let's just add a
little bit of water,
00:17:58.25\00:17:59.68
little bit more water
so that it's not too thick.
00:17:59.71\00:18:01.32
Because the oats are
starting to absorb the water.
00:18:01.35\00:18:03.09
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.
00:18:03.12\00:18:05.66
It will get thicker as it sits.
00:18:05.69\00:18:08.55
But just a little
bit, you don't want it
00:18:08.58\00:18:10.46
to be too runny
either, so. Okay.
00:18:10.49\00:18:12.10
Start slow and then increase.
00:18:12.13\00:18:15.01
I think that's it. Oh,
good. Well that's nice.
00:18:26.03\00:18:28.94
Yeah, wasn't that?
00:18:28.97\00:18:30.34
Little be quick to the blending
00:18:30.37\00:18:31.74
is the main part
here. Absolutely.
00:18:31.77\00:18:33.14
And then of course we have
our waffle maker preheated.
00:18:33.17\00:18:36.50
All right. That's
a nice waffle maker.
00:18:36.53\00:18:38.37
That's a built-in waffle maker.
00:18:38.40\00:18:39.77
That's correct. That's nice.
00:18:39.80\00:18:41.17
We gonna spray that a little bit
00:18:41.20\00:18:42.57
because we
don't want it to get--
00:18:42.60\00:18:43.97
To stick in there.
00:18:44.00\00:18:45.37
Just stick to a
waffle, free waffle stuff.
00:18:45.40\00:18:47.37
Now you can put this
onto a plate or you can pour--
00:18:47.40\00:18:50.78
and that would probably be best
00:18:50.81\00:18:53.03
because it will
get thicker. Yes.
00:18:53.06\00:18:55.07
So and then you'll
probably have to use
00:18:55.10\00:18:56.70
a wide spoon to pour it.
00:18:56.73\00:18:59.77
Pour it in there. Yeah.
00:18:59.80\00:19:02.55
So you want to
spread it just a little bit,
00:19:02.58\00:19:07.24
just a little bit more.
00:19:07.27\00:19:08.64
That's nice. I like waffles.
00:19:08.67\00:19:10.04
And the thing with
waffles is you can make them
00:19:10.07\00:19:11.44
ahead of time too. Yes.
00:19:11.47\00:19:12.84
And that works really nice.
00:19:12.87\00:19:14.24
You absolutely can
make this ahead of time.
00:19:14.27\00:19:15.64
And you can just
make heat them up
00:19:15.67\00:19:17.04
either in the oven or microwave
00:19:17.07\00:19:18.44
or toaster oven or something,
00:19:18.47\00:19:19.84
just heat them up and
heat them and there you go.
00:19:19.87\00:19:21.25
You got your breakfast there.
00:19:21.28\00:19:22.65
So this will take
depending on your waffle maker.
00:19:22.68\00:19:24.81
We have a finished
waffle here, right?
00:19:24.84\00:19:26.85
Yes, we do.
00:19:26.88\00:19:28.25
And like I said this
will take depending on
00:19:28.28\00:19:30.70
whether your waffle maker is
fast or slow or whatever. Yes.
00:19:30.73\00:19:33.67
Ah, eight
minutes or ten minutes,
00:19:33.70\00:19:36.13
you might wanna watch it.
00:19:36.16\00:19:37.70
You don't want
to burn, check it.
00:19:37.73\00:19:39.10
No, you don't want to burn.
00:19:39.13\00:19:40.50
The first one will take a
little bit longer probably
00:19:40.53\00:19:42.93
and the next few will
probably take less time.
00:19:42.96\00:19:44.67
It's like the warmer it
gets then it burns quickly.
00:19:44.70\00:19:47.45
So we will see this
how-- this is how it looks.
00:19:47.48\00:19:49.86
See how bulged that looks.
00:19:49.89\00:19:51.26
Oh, looks very good.
00:19:51.29\00:19:52.66
Looks pretty and we can use
the same topping we just made.
00:19:52.69\00:19:54.57
We have a fruit
sauce we just made.
00:19:54.60\00:19:56.01
Yeah. Absolutely.
00:19:56.04\00:19:57.87
This is how it
looks once it's served.
00:19:57.90\00:20:00.80
Oh. Yeah, so--
00:20:00.83\00:20:02.87
This makes me hungry too.
00:20:02.90\00:20:04.62
Oh, boy. Yeah,
breakfast, breakfast, breakfast.
00:20:04.65\00:20:06.59
Ah, that's nice.
00:20:06.62\00:20:07.99
See, this is how your kids
00:20:08.02\00:20:09.39
are gonna
actually love breakfast.
00:20:09.42\00:20:10.79
And run to school
without any or whatever else
00:20:10.82\00:20:13.43
can do the other
day. That's right.
00:20:13.46\00:20:15.44
I really like
this Maria because,
00:20:15.47\00:20:17.07
you know, I really like that--
00:20:17.10\00:20:18.47
I know I've worked a couple
of times with you in the past
00:20:18.50\00:20:20.31
and I really like
that about your ministry.
00:20:20.34\00:20:22.23
You're so--the
recipes are so easy.
00:20:22.26\00:20:24.38
Yeah, they should
be simple I think,
00:20:24.41\00:20:26.29
so that we don't
have to burden people
00:20:26.32\00:20:28.33
with hard to do recipes.
00:20:28.36\00:20:30.35
Something easy, healthy but easy
00:20:30.38\00:20:32.33
so that people don't think that,
oh, eating healthy is so hard,
00:20:32.36\00:20:36.73
it takes too much
time, so expensive.
00:20:36.76\00:20:39.33
No we are using actual
ingredients that are common.
00:20:39.36\00:20:42.45
That's right. And
are non-expensive.
00:20:42.48\00:20:43.85
And actually are not
even expensive ingredients.
00:20:43.88\00:20:45.29
Its food you gonna buy anyway,
that's what will make healthier.
00:20:45.32\00:20:48.48
That's right. Yeah.
00:20:48.51\00:20:49.88
So we have one more recipe to go
00:20:49.91\00:20:51.34
for our breakfast this morning.
00:20:51.37\00:20:52.74
Let's do our last recipe.
00:20:52.77\00:20:54.14
What are we
making for last recipe?
00:20:54.17\00:20:55.54
We are making, well, it's
a little bit of funny name.
00:20:55.57\00:20:57.14
It's called "Toffruity".
00:20:57.17\00:20:58.54
Toffruity? Toffruity. Okay.
00:20:58.57\00:20:59.94
And we gonna
serve it with granola.
00:20:59.97\00:21:01.46
That's nice. And
have a good time.
00:21:01.49\00:21:02.86
Good. Okay, do you
want to read our recipe?
00:21:02.89\00:21:04.80
Yeah, let's read the
recipe. Recipe calls for...
00:21:04.83\00:21:07.14
Well, we are
using the same fruit
00:21:24.64\00:21:26.02
that we use
before I like that. Yeah.
00:21:26.05\00:21:28.00
But you can vary this recipe
00:21:28.03\00:21:29.42
actually make
different flavors of them.
00:21:29.45\00:21:31.41
You can put any kind
of fruit in you want.
00:21:31.44\00:21:32.90
Look, I can put--I usually
put berries, mix berries.
00:21:32.93\00:21:38.35
Raspberries or
blueberries, strawberries etc.
00:21:38.38\00:21:40.67
Or sometimes I use mango. Yeah.
00:21:40.70\00:21:43.00
Or mango and strawberry mix.
00:21:43.03\00:21:44.65
Oh, that sounds
good. Mango is really good.
00:21:44.68\00:21:46.75
Yeah, just about any fruit
00:21:46.78\00:21:48.20
that you like can
go well with this.
00:21:48.23\00:21:52.05
Now one thing I
always add is banana. Yeah.
00:21:52.08\00:21:54.74
But that's not necessary.
00:21:54.77\00:21:56.35
You don't have
to-- you can just pure--
00:21:56.38\00:21:58.31
use pure fruits or whatever.
00:21:58.34\00:22:00.20
But the banana I like it
because it just makes creamy.
00:22:00.23\00:22:03.28
Yeah, so we are gonna use
this tofu again, this one tofu.
00:22:03.31\00:22:06.34
Okay, we gonna use
trusty blundering into.
00:22:06.37\00:22:08.62
Yeah, we gonna use this
one silken tofu I guess.
00:22:08.65\00:22:11.46
Like I said this is perfect
00:22:11.49\00:22:12.86
for all these
creamy things. Yes.
00:22:12.89\00:22:15.09
You know, I have to give credit
to this recipe to my friends
00:22:15.12\00:22:18.18
and the other
Templeton Church in California
00:22:18.21\00:22:21.26
because they
taught me so many things--
00:22:21.29\00:22:23.82
And they came up
with this recipe?
00:22:23.85\00:22:25.52
I don't know who or that
church came up with this recipe,
00:22:25.55\00:22:27.67
but it's a wonderful
recipe. I use it all the time.
00:22:27.70\00:22:29.76
That's really mean.
That's my favorite recipe. Okay.
00:22:29.79\00:22:31.95
And I just varied a little bit--
00:22:31.98\00:22:34.16
they make it a
little bit different,
00:22:34.19\00:22:35.56
but it's basically
the same recipe. Yeah.
00:22:35.59\00:22:37.75
So and let's just
put our little banana
00:22:37.78\00:22:40.92
and you know what,
when it comes to bananas
00:22:40.95\00:22:43.02
for this recipe if
they are nice and ripe--
00:22:43.05\00:22:45.49
It's better Oh, boy.
Yeah. It makes it good.
00:22:45.52\00:22:49.05
You know, I think
bananas are always sweeter
00:22:49.08\00:22:50.92
if they are more
white. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:22:50.95\00:22:52.35
The more white they
are, the sweeter they are.
00:22:52.38\00:22:53.75
They are. They are.
00:22:53.78\00:22:55.15
Now we gonna ahead put
the apple juice concentrate
00:22:55.18\00:22:56.62
which has melted
for us. All right.
00:22:56.65\00:22:59.83
Now this is one
thing you can vary--
00:22:59.86\00:23:02.25
the quantity of it.
00:23:02.28\00:23:03.65
If you like bit so you
can add a little bit more--
00:23:03.68\00:23:05.30
Add more, right. Yeah.
00:23:05.33\00:23:06.84
And we could add
some vanilla if you want,
00:23:06.87\00:23:09.34
but it is not necessary
00:23:09.37\00:23:10.74
just add a little bit
pinch of salt just makes it,
00:23:10.77\00:23:14.34
makes it little bit
different just to add the salt.
00:23:14.37\00:23:18.80
And... gonna go ahead--
00:23:18.83\00:23:20.81
You gonna blend up
all your fruit there.
00:23:20.84\00:23:23.16
All fruit and it looks good.
00:23:23.19\00:23:25.31
We will see how
the blender goes.
00:23:25.34\00:23:26.71
We have to stop
in. That's okay though.
00:23:26.74\00:23:28.95
It might be like my
blender at home. Yeah.
00:23:28.98\00:23:30.54
You ready for the lid here.
00:23:30.57\00:23:31.94
Yeah, go ahead. All right.
00:23:31.97\00:23:33.52
And let's start slow.
00:23:33.55\00:23:35.49
There you go. And...
00:23:35.52\00:23:37.23
Now it's a good time to stir.
00:23:46.30\00:23:49.03
Let's use the spoon,
push the fruit to the bottom
00:23:49.06\00:23:53.65
so that it'll pick up next time.
00:23:53.68\00:23:55.30
Yeah, because it blended
the tofu but nothing else.
00:23:55.33\00:23:58.32
Yeah, yeah. But it's
going to do it. Yeah.
00:23:58.35\00:24:00.82
So let's start with--
00:24:00.85\00:24:02.22
Let's just stir, just
a little bit more to get
00:24:16.97\00:24:19.97
all the tofu half of the side.
00:24:20.00\00:24:21.37
Nice and pink. Nice and pick.
00:24:21.40\00:24:22.77
Yeah, it depends
on the color you use.
00:24:22.80\00:24:24.27
Yeah, depends on
what you put in there.
00:24:24.30\00:24:25.75
Yeah. Absolutely.
00:24:25.78\00:24:27.15
And that's what I meant.
00:24:27.18\00:24:28.55
The fruit you use will
give you the color. Right, yeah.
00:24:28.58\00:24:30.87
So mango will give a nice
yellow colored, orange color.
00:24:30.90\00:24:33.79
Yes, right. Let's blend again.
00:24:33.82\00:24:35.21
That should be it. All right.
00:24:45.71\00:24:47.65
We have this pretty bowl here.
00:24:47.68\00:24:49.05
We gonna pour in,
is that right? Yep.
00:24:49.08\00:24:51.62
All right. Yep.
00:24:51.65\00:24:53.46
So this would be
kind a like yogurt.
00:24:53.49\00:24:55.42
Yeah. Boy, it
looks really good. Yeah.
00:24:55.45\00:24:57.37
It would kinda like
00:24:57.40\00:24:58.77
the consistency of yogurt
of runny, a little bit runny.
00:24:58.80\00:25:01.92
It depends on how
thick you make it actually.
00:25:01.95\00:25:03.57
Oh, it looks good.
00:25:03.60\00:25:04.97
And that's nice and
it's so healthy for you.
00:25:05.00\00:25:06.37
You have all your nutrients,
00:25:06.40\00:25:07.77
your fresh fruit and
your tofu. That's really good.
00:25:07.80\00:25:09.57
Yeah, isn't it?
00:25:09.60\00:25:10.97
I mean that's why
it's a perfect breakfast.
00:25:11.00\00:25:12.75
Now show us
before we're done here,
00:25:12.78\00:25:14.26
what we do with granola?
00:25:14.29\00:25:15.66
Well, I just add
the granola on top.
00:25:15.69\00:25:17.06
You just pour on top?
00:25:17.09\00:25:18.46
You can mix it in
if you want. Yeah.
00:25:18.49\00:25:20.44
And put more fresh
fruit on the top. That's neat.
00:25:20.47\00:25:23.05
And you can just do
about whatever you want. Good.
00:25:23.08\00:25:25.44
That granola
looks really nutritious.
00:25:28.32\00:25:30.93
Stay with us
friends, we will be right back
00:25:30.96\00:25:32.96
to show you the final product.
00:25:32.99\00:25:34.91
We hope you've enjoyed
cooking with Maria Ronquillo.
00:25:37.50\00:25:40.83
Now let's take a moment

Well, friends, we have a
scrumptious breakfast here.
00:27:23.61\00:27:26.63
Doesn't it make you hungry?
00:27:26.66\00:27:28.03
It does, it looks
really good. Absolutely.
00:27:28.06\00:27:30.47
Show us what we
made here today. Yeah.
00:27:30.50\00:27:32.34
First we made our French toast
00:27:32.37\00:27:34.15
that looks really
delicious, doesn't it?
00:27:34.18\00:27:35.55
I like the yellow color.
00:27:35.58\00:27:36.95
It sure helps and
makes it look really good.
00:27:36.98\00:27:39.18
Then we made waffles as
well, really easy waffles,
00:27:39.21\00:27:42.33
easy to make and delicious.
00:27:42.36\00:27:43.94
And we top both off
with our fruit topping.
00:27:43.97\00:27:46.88
Now it looks really
wonderful, isn't it? It does.
00:27:46.91\00:27:48.83
And we also made the
Toffruity that we put granola
00:27:48.86\00:27:51.86
and you can serve
it with fruit as well.
00:27:51.89\00:27:53.26
And you have a nice
little strawberry garnish. Yeah.
00:27:53.29\00:27:55.62
