Have you ever had
meatballs that didn't
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.54
have any meat in it?
But, they're really good.
00:00:03.57\00:00:05.68
Today, we're gonna
show you what's in them?
00:00:05.71\00:00:08.31
Hello friends,
and welcome to another
00:00:40.81\00:00:42.53
program of Lets Cook
Together. I'm your host
00:00:42.56\00:00:45.18
Jill Morikone and we
have an exciting program
00:00:45.21\00:00:47.32
planned for you
today. And we're gonna show
00:00:47.35\00:00:49.15
you how to make
those meatless meatballs.
00:00:49.18\00:00:51.10
You won't believe
what we put in them.
00:00:51.13\00:00:52.64
But, first I want
to introduce you to our
00:00:52.67\00:00:54.37
special guest here
with me in the kitchen.
00:00:54.40\00:00:56.39
Her name is MarVella
Burton. Welcome MarVella,
00:00:56.63\00:00:59.01
we're so glad to
have you here. Hello Jill,
00:00:59.04\00:01:01.19
so glad to be here.
Now, you have a ministry
00:01:01.22\00:01:03.52
Marvelous Lifestyle. Yes.
Tell us a little bit about
00:01:03.55\00:01:06.45
your ministry what
does it entail. It entails
00:01:06.48\00:01:08.60
healthful living by
education. And so I travel
00:01:08.63\00:01:12.90
different places and
also teach in my community
00:01:12.93\00:01:16.21
and I teach people how
to prepare simple meals
00:01:16.68\00:01:19.27
like these, yes. Also
teach them hydrotherapy,
00:01:19.30\00:01:22.41
simple home
remedies, good. And really just
00:01:22.44\00:01:25.75
basically about the
body, it's function and the
00:01:25.78\00:01:28.33
things we can do to
regain our health as well as
00:01:28.36\00:01:31.25
maintain it. Yes,
absolutely, that's a
00:01:31.28\00:01:33.51
fantastic ministry that's
really unique. It's great.
00:01:33.54\00:01:35.97
You travel a lot?
Yes, quite a bit, okay.
00:01:36.00\00:01:38.33
Especially during the
summer, yes. During the
00:01:38.36\00:01:42.50
school year I'm teaching,
yeah, in the class room,
00:01:42.53\00:01:45.10
that's right, as I
am basically focusing on
00:01:45.13\00:01:47.31
teaching my students
this lifestyle and doing
00:01:47.34\00:01:50.10
the community work,
yes. But, on weekends I do
00:01:50.13\00:01:52.30
get away sometimes.
Okay, so you get to travel,
00:01:52.33\00:01:54.38
do you take some of your
students with you when you
00:01:54.41\00:01:55.82
travel and share or you
just mainly go yourself?
00:01:55.85\00:01:58.15
Sometimes I take students,
it depends on whether we
00:01:58.18\00:02:00.88
have a nice long break
or not? Yes, right, right
00:02:00.91\00:02:04.11
and then in summer time
you go out and you share,
00:02:04.14\00:02:06.09
is it like a week
long presentation when you
00:02:06.12\00:02:07.93
give your presentations
or is it several nights
00:02:07.96\00:02:10.61
a week or just one time
or how do you work that?
00:02:10.64\00:02:12.86
Well, sometimes it's a
weekend, sometimes it's
00:02:12.89\00:02:15.99
longer, it depends on
the organization that invites
00:02:16.02\00:02:18.27
me to come, yes. Some
wants a week long session
00:02:18.30\00:02:21.01
some may do a day
seminar, oh okay and some
00:02:21.04\00:02:24.19
Friday Sabbath and
Sunday, okay weekend sessions,
00:02:24.48\00:02:27.66
like a weekend thing
at a church. You go to a
00:02:27.69\00:02:29.83
community places or
just mainly churches or what
00:02:29.86\00:02:32.70
kind of places? It's just
a combination of them all,
00:02:32.73\00:02:35.04
I even go into homes.
Oh that's wonderful, yes,
00:02:35.07\00:02:38.13
praise God. Once summer
before last I moved in with
00:02:38.16\00:02:43.33
a doctor and his family
for a week to teach them
00:02:43.36\00:02:47.07
healthy lifestyle
changes, yes, yes. The cooking,
00:02:47.10\00:02:49.81
the exercise and all
that, it was wonderful.
00:02:49.84\00:02:52.67
Oh praise God, that's a
wonderful ministry 'cause
00:02:52.70\00:02:54.70
I'm thinking so many
times you know it's really
00:02:54.73\00:02:57.05
hard to get yourself
kick-started you think,
00:02:57.08\00:02:59.10
oh yeah. I'm not sure
how to do this, I'm not sure
00:02:59.13\00:03:01.27
what to do, I'm not
sure, you know any of that.
00:03:01.30\00:03:03.53
So that's a good thing
that you're teaching them,
00:03:03.56\00:03:05.15
the principles of the
cooking and the principles
00:03:05.18\00:03:06.65
of the healthy
lifestyle and stuff. Yeah, yeah
00:03:06.68\00:03:08.79
praise God. And it's
simple. Yeah I like that,
00:03:08.82\00:03:11.83
I like that. Now and
we're doing simple meatballs.
00:03:11.86\00:03:14.82
Simple meatballs
today, yes. I like that,
00:03:14.85\00:03:17.24
lets read our
recipe for those meatballs.
00:03:17.27\00:03:19.90
For the Walnut Tofu
Balls you need 2 cups
00:03:19.93\00:03:23.35
chopped walnuts 2 cups
whole wheat bread crumbs
00:03:23.38\00:03:27.03
1 pound extra firm tofu
1/4 c. unfermented soy sauce
00:03:27.38\00:03:32.63
3 tbsp. onion flakes
and 3 tbsp. dried parsley
00:03:33.11\00:03:38.43
You also need 1 tsp. sea
salt 1/8 tsp. ground sage
00:03:39.26\00:03:44.92
1/8 tsp. ground marjoram.
Now, this is interesting
00:03:44.95\00:03:49.25
MarVella, I am thinking
about this instead of the
00:03:49.28\00:03:51.05
meat we're using tofu.
Right, yeah, that's amazing.
00:03:51.08\00:03:55.43
And tofu is just a soy,
yes, protein, okay that's all
00:03:55.46\00:03:59.94
it is, okay. But, I
would not suggest that you
00:03:59.97\00:04:02.86
eat tofu everyday,
okay. Once a week is good,
00:04:02.89\00:04:05.68
once every other
week I believe in variety.
00:04:05.71\00:04:08.61
That's right, okay. So
its, we need moderation and
00:04:08.64\00:04:13.75
everything. Absolutely,
absolutely, but it's a
00:04:13.78\00:04:15.86
substitute that comes
in handy for people making
00:04:15.89\00:04:19.26
the transition.
Absolutely, try to change over
00:04:19.29\00:04:22.05
from that and it has,
now tofu doesn't have much
00:04:22.08\00:04:23.92
flavor though, right?
No, and that makes it a
00:04:23.95\00:04:26.66
versatile tofu. Yes.
You can sweeten it, you can
00:04:26.69\00:04:29.82
salt it, you can sour
it, that's good I like that,
00:04:29.85\00:04:32.53
yes. And today we're
making meatballs, yeah.
00:04:32.56\00:04:34.73
Yeah, okay what we
are need to do? Okay,
00:04:34.76\00:04:36.64
first of all you
wanna do the mashing today.
00:04:36.67\00:04:39.12
Oh sure, we want to
mash this tofu and you can
00:04:39.15\00:04:42.56
use a fork or just a
regular potato masher, okay.
00:04:42.59\00:04:45.19
And you wanna get it
crumbly, okay, as small as
00:04:46.17\00:04:48.87
you can. And these are
whole wheat bread crumbs,
00:04:48.90\00:04:54.48
Yes. We just tore them
into small pieces, you can
00:04:54.51\00:04:58.53
use and that way you
won't have to buy the packaged
00:04:58.56\00:05:01.54
bread crumbs that have
so many different things
00:05:01.57\00:05:04.24
that you don't want.
Absolutely 'cause we have
00:05:04.27\00:05:05.37
all those additives,
absolutely, it's like an
00:05:05.40\00:05:06.88
ingredient looks just
like these and you think, yeah,
00:05:06.91\00:05:08.72
that's a lot so this
is good. You know exactly
00:05:08.75\00:05:11.63
what's in your bread?
Absolutely, that's right,
00:05:11.66\00:05:13.70
let me get this here
mashed, okay. Very nice,
00:05:13.73\00:05:18.55
alright now what I
want you do is add your
00:05:18.58\00:05:21.32
seasonings, okay, and
that way the flavors will mix
00:05:21.35\00:05:24.23
in the tofu. Any
special order? No. Just dump,
00:05:24.26\00:05:28.87
I like that I can
handle that, it's pretty easy,
00:05:29.51\00:05:31.77
this is our unfermented
soy sauce right? Right.
00:05:31.80\00:05:33.94
Parsley, and then you
have your parsley and your,
00:05:34.52\00:05:36.73
this is a sage? Marjoram,
marjoram. And then your
00:05:36.76\00:05:39.34
sage which gives it
that meaty aroma and taste.
00:05:40.71\00:05:45.39
Boy they're kind of
stuck yeah okay, put in your
00:05:46.83\00:05:48.84
onion, yeah. Now these
are dried onions, okay.
00:05:48.87\00:05:51.76
You wanna mix that
pretty well. And the salt too
00:05:52.44\00:05:55.04
or not? Yes, okay, go
ahead okay. Alright of course
00:05:55.07\00:05:58.73
have to season the
nuts too, yes and the bread
00:05:58.76\00:06:02.15
you want that to have the
flavor of your seasonings,
00:06:02.18\00:06:04.82
right. Because we're
gonna bake these in the oven.
00:06:04.85\00:06:06.66
Oh fun, okay yeah
we're gonna have authentic
00:06:06.69\00:06:10.30
meatballs, yes. Now we're
doing this for our holiday
00:06:10.33\00:06:13.27
theme right? Holiday,
yes, yeah meatballs is prefect
00:06:13.30\00:06:16.78
for any type of holiday
or birthday or, absolutely,
00:06:16.81\00:06:19.03
it is also good to
take on a trip when you're
00:06:19.06\00:06:21.17
traveling. That's a good
idea, it's not messy, yeah
00:06:21.20\00:06:23.88
and you have, I like that,
your grain and your protein.
00:06:23.91\00:06:27.08
Yeah, that's good, right
there. Okay. Is that good?
00:06:27.35\00:06:30.04
That's great, so we
dump our crumbs and you can
00:06:30.07\00:06:35.95
use any type of nuts,
okay. You can use walnuts
00:06:35.98\00:06:39.39
or pecans, okay, okay,
if you prefer some people
00:06:39.42\00:06:41.48
cannot eat one type of
nut, yes, maybe able to eat
00:06:41.51\00:06:45.51
a nut right okay. So,
what are these we're using
00:06:45.54\00:06:49.27
today here what type
are these? Walnuts, walnuts,
00:06:49.30\00:06:51.83
okay, good, oh it looks
so good. And you see it gives
00:06:51.86\00:06:55.02
it up a more firmer,
yeah, consistency, absolutely,
00:06:55.05\00:06:59.60
when you add the
nuts and the bread crumbs.
00:06:59.63\00:07:00.96
That's right and I would
think over time the bread
00:07:00.99\00:07:02.92
would absorb more and
more, it does, of the liquid.
00:07:02.95\00:07:05.24
Yes, and even though we
put the liquid soy in there,
00:07:05.27\00:07:08.91
right, the tofu has
some liquid in it too.
00:07:08.94\00:07:11.30
Absolutely, oh yeah,
okay, so the crumbs and the nuts
00:07:11.33\00:07:15.74
help to absorb that so
that you can get the firmness
00:07:15.77\00:07:19.56
that you need to shape
your balls, yeah, is that good?
00:07:19.59\00:07:22.22
Okay that's good. Now,
what you want to do is you
00:07:22.25\00:07:24.92
can take, this is country
stuff. I like that, you can
00:07:24.95\00:07:31.36
knead this. You wash
her hands, I saw her.
00:07:31.39\00:07:33.27
You can knead this, oh
good, so that it's well mixed,
00:07:35.42\00:07:39.06
yeah I like that MarVella
very good. And you notice
00:07:39.09\00:07:43.10
how they're coming
together, it is more than
00:07:43.13\00:07:45.16
when I started with the
fork. Absolutely, you can
00:07:45.19\00:07:46.77
see it forming, that's
good. And in the bread slowly
00:07:46.80\00:07:51.25
disappears, yeah and the
nuts, yeah. Then you just,
00:07:51.28\00:07:57.22
this becomes nice oh
yeah good consistency, yeah
00:07:57.25\00:07:59.97
and you can shape them
like you want them. Yeah,
00:08:00.00\00:08:02.94
now squeeze them a
little bit to make sure you can
00:08:02.97\00:08:04.84
get them. Okay, and
then you can just roll them,
00:08:04.87\00:08:06.86
oh nice, yeah. It's
nice and can you freeze this
00:08:06.89\00:08:11.20
after you're done
with them, I like that.
00:08:11.23\00:08:12.88
Because you know it's
all so much work you know
00:08:12.91\00:08:14.50
if you're in a hurry.
See those nice little ball,
00:08:14.53\00:08:15.89
yeah, it's very cute. I
like it, and you can make
00:08:15.92\00:08:19.31
them as small as you
want or as large as you want,
00:08:19.34\00:08:21.40
okay. Okay, so you
put them in a pan and we
00:08:21.43\00:08:23.76
bake them. That's all
you do. What do we bake
00:08:23.79\00:08:25.76
them at, 350? About 400,
okay, about 400, alright,
00:08:25.79\00:08:29.47
or 425 until they're
nice and red. Do you have to
00:08:29.50\00:08:32.30
turn them? No, you
don't have to turn them.
00:08:32.33\00:08:35.11
They bake pretty evenly
and they get lightly brown,
00:08:35.14\00:08:39.76
oh yeah good, and they
are delicious once these
00:08:39.79\00:08:42.84
flavors bake in there
oh yeah. Children can make
00:08:42.87\00:08:45.50
these, yeah that's
right, get there little hands in
00:08:45.53\00:08:47.80
there and have fun
doing this. Yeah, that's a fun
00:08:47.83\00:08:50.02
thing, it is. Get
your whole family involved?
00:08:50.05\00:08:51.98
Absolutely. I like that,
yeah, good, very nice, okay.
00:08:52.01\00:08:54.61
Now, it's nice
because you can make them
00:08:54.83\00:08:56.57
ahead of time that's
what I like, and if you're
00:08:56.60\00:08:58.42
in a hurry and you're
running home from work,
00:08:58.45\00:08:59.90
you can say hey I can
just pop these out of the
00:08:59.93\00:09:01.54
freezer or something and
you can have your meatball.
00:09:01.57\00:09:03.25
As a matter of fact,
as you're preparing your
00:09:03.28\00:09:06.06
breakfast in the
morning, you can prepare your
00:09:06.09\00:09:07.98
dinner also, yes, and
having all that, that's right.
00:09:08.01\00:09:11.68
And the oven baking,
good and they're ready for the
00:09:11.71\00:09:14.63
afternoon or you can
take them for lunch and you
00:09:14.66\00:09:16.77
don't have to stop
at the fast food stores,
00:09:16.80\00:09:18.97
there you go, that's
right. Good well, what are we
00:09:19.00\00:09:21.68
making next for our
holiday here. Alright,
00:09:21.71\00:09:23.85
we're gonna go to our
sweet potatoes I believe,
00:09:24.09\00:09:26.35
lets read that recipe, you
wanna read that for us. Yes.
00:09:26.38\00:09:28.12
Candied Sweet Potatoes. 6
large sweet potatoes, baked
00:09:28.67\00:09:32.88
1 ½ c. coconut milk
1/3-1/4 c. pure honey or
00:09:33.40\00:09:38.59
pure maple syrup 1 ½
tsp. ground coriander
00:09:38.62\00:09:42.99
1 tsp. sea salt Well, I
think sweet potatoes makes
00:09:43.24\00:09:48.96
a really good side dish
with what we did with our
00:09:48.99\00:09:52.17
meatballs. That's really
good, okay, let's look at
00:09:52.20\00:09:56.29
them here. Well, first of
all you bake? I bake them,
00:09:56.32\00:09:59.69
and when you bake the
potatoes they're sweeter,
00:09:59.72\00:10:02.49
yes. When you boil them
you boil all the sugar out
00:10:02.86\00:10:06.38
it's extracted into the
water, okay. But, when you
00:10:06.41\00:10:09.76
bake them you can
actually see the sap coming
00:10:09.79\00:10:12.06
out of these potatoes,
yeah sweet, in the oven.
00:10:12.09\00:10:14.02
Is that same with the
white potatoes or just sweet
00:10:14.05\00:10:17.77
potatoes? Well, sweet
potatoes but even white
00:10:17.80\00:10:19.75
potatoes. You think
if they're baked they are
00:10:19.78\00:10:21.40
sweeter. A flavor comes
out of the potatoes in the
00:10:21.43\00:10:23.99
water when you boil
them. Yes, so I steam all that,
00:10:24.02\00:10:26.89
yeah, white potatoes
and I bake the sweet ones
00:10:26.92\00:10:29.54
and you can bake the
white ones too. Right,
00:10:29.57\00:10:31.04
right, okay so, good,
I love sweet potatoes.
00:10:31.07\00:10:34.27
We're going to just
slice these and I slice them
00:10:34.67\00:10:38.88
round and we're gonna
make sure they lie flat
00:10:38.91\00:10:42.39
in the dish, okay very
nice. You can smell these,
00:10:42.42\00:10:47.14
oh I can smell that, I
wish you guys could smell it,
00:10:47.17\00:10:49.29
it smells so good and
you can see the sweetness
00:10:49.32\00:10:51.73
'cause it is either
sticky, yes. Yeah, you can see
00:10:51.76\00:10:54.30
that stickiness on it.
Yeah. And we're gonna put
00:10:54.33\00:10:59.47
just enough in here
to cover this, very nice
00:10:59.50\00:11:02.39
and you can make this as
large as you like or small
00:11:02.42\00:11:06.30
as you like depending
on your family, one thing
00:11:06.33\00:11:08.28
about baking the
potatoes, if you leave them in
00:11:08.31\00:11:10.51
their skins, they're
okay, they're okay. You can
00:11:10.54\00:11:13.18
leave them in the
refrigerator for a longer
00:11:13.21\00:11:16.31
time, right. And then
you could just take them
00:11:16.34\00:11:17.98
later and use, yeah
that's a good thing. Or you can
00:11:18.01\00:11:20.29
just eat them like they
are. Oh yeah I can do that,
00:11:20.32\00:11:23.09
I love sweet
potatoes, alright and good.
00:11:23.12\00:11:26.52
So, we just wanna
cover the bottom of our pan,
00:11:27.38\00:11:28.88
You just wanna cover
the bottom of the pan, okay
00:11:28.91\00:11:31.00
okay and if you want
more you can do that too
00:11:31.03\00:11:33.41
but use a flatter, yes,
a big pan, pan shallow one.
00:11:33.44\00:11:36.70
So, we have some
coconut milk, yeah I like
00:11:37.67\00:11:39.98
coconut milk, yeah I
like that. It has natural fat
00:11:40.01\00:11:42.80
in it. Now this is not
the coconut water with the
00:11:42.83\00:11:45.40
extract this is
coconut milk. Okay, this is the
00:11:45.43\00:11:47.77
real stuff, this is the
real stuff, oh yeah okay,
00:11:47.80\00:11:50.09
okay. And what it does
is give it a creamer, yes,
00:11:50.12\00:11:53.51
texture for your casserole,
oh yeah and it is also
00:11:53.54\00:11:56.64
adds a little flavor, oh
yeah because you get that
00:11:56.67\00:11:59.11
coconut on that. And so
we're gonna add a little
00:11:59.14\00:12:01.58
sweetner here, yeah, now
generally for people that
00:12:01.61\00:12:05.02
are changing the
lifestyle and have not developed
00:12:05.05\00:12:08.44
that taste, that natural
taste, they can appreciate
00:12:08.47\00:12:12.13
the foods in their
natural state, you add just a
00:12:12.45\00:12:15.13
little bit of what they're
used to, okay. And this is
00:12:15.16\00:12:18.70
gonna give it a nice
creamy flavor. So, if you were
00:12:18.73\00:12:20.30
doing it, you're saying
you wouldn't use the honey
00:12:20.33\00:12:22.86
at all. You don't have
to, okay, okay it's the same
00:12:22.89\00:12:25.70
but if you use the
sweeter, yes, you would want to
00:12:25.73\00:12:27.22
add that, got it. Or
just add a little bit just to
00:12:27.25\00:12:29.75
make the sauce because
you've been just sweet,
00:12:29.78\00:12:32.34
right, because you
just basically sweetened the
00:12:32.37\00:12:35.07
coconut milk and then
add your flavoring, okay
00:12:35.10\00:12:37.92
that's your
coriander and then your salt.
00:12:37.95\00:12:40.06
Now, our coriander is
like our cinnamon substitute
00:12:40.09\00:12:42.39
right? Yes. Okay, can
you see how it make a little
00:12:42.42\00:12:45.96
bit of brown, oh it
looks good yeah. Just kind of
00:12:45.99\00:12:48.17
like if you were add
brown sugar because most
00:12:48.20\00:12:50.55
people do use that,
that's right, that's right,
00:12:50.58\00:12:52.49
that's pretty normal.
And then, oh it makes me
00:12:52.52\00:12:55.17
wanna eat it, yeah
very good. You just pour it
00:12:55.20\00:12:58.87
over here, okay. Oh
yeah, I think sweet potatoes
00:12:58.90\00:13:03.53
such a you know any
kind of candy, sweet potato
00:13:03.56\00:13:05.65
is such a good meal
for holiday, Thanksgiving,
00:13:05.68\00:13:07.63
absolutely, Christmas
or any of those, you know.
00:13:07.66\00:13:10.16
And you bake that in
your oven and it just bakes
00:13:10.19\00:13:14.72
the flavors in to the
potato, yeah, and it dries
00:13:14.75\00:13:19.32
out a little bit,
okay, okay so it'll cook down
00:13:19.35\00:13:22.22
just a little bit,
yeah, about 425, yes, okay 450
00:13:22.25\00:13:27.16
in your oven and, 425
to 450 okay yeah. Up to 450
00:13:27.19\00:13:31.48
in your oven, just a
few minutes maybe about
00:13:31.51\00:13:34.18
20 minutes, okay. Just
so that it can kind of dry
00:13:34.21\00:13:38.49
out just a tad, kind
of brown, yes, browns
00:13:38.52\00:13:41.56
a little bit and just
kind of come together.
00:13:41.59\00:13:43.32
Yeah and we'll show you
at the end of the program,
00:13:43.35\00:13:45.25
we'll show you what the
sweet potatoes look like
00:13:45.28\00:13:46.77
all baked, you'll have
to wait till the end to see
00:13:46.80\00:13:48.40
that. Yeah, okay lets
go where we're gonna make a
00:13:48.43\00:13:50.99
Stir Fry next. Lets read
our recipe for the Veggie
00:13:51.02\00:13:53.85
Stir Fry for that we
need. ½ eggplant that's
00:13:53.88\00:13:57.41
peeled & cut into strips
1 c. cooked garbanzo beans
00:13:57.44\00:14:01.54
½ c. shredded carrots ½
red bell pepper cut into
00:14:01.69\00:14:06.95
strips 1 zucchini,
sliced 1 tsp. cumin powder
00:14:06.98\00:14:12.67
Unfermented soy
sauce or sea salt to taste.
00:14:13.11\00:14:16.48
I think the Stir Fry is
a really good way to eat
00:14:18.74\00:14:20.63
vegetables, it is.
Yes, because you mix them up
00:14:20.66\00:14:23.50
with seasoning and
then it tastes pretty good
00:14:23.53\00:14:25.07
and you can get your kids
to eat it and all kinds of
00:14:25.10\00:14:26.96
things, so. Right,
yeah and it's quick, yes,
00:14:26.99\00:14:31.02
and simple, and
tasty, tasty. That's what you
00:14:31.05\00:14:33.81
like in your ministry.
Absolutely, quick, simple
00:14:33.84\00:14:35.36
and tasty. Yeah, okay,
what are we doing here?
00:14:35.39\00:14:38.63
First of all we're
going to put our eggplant,
00:14:39.10\00:14:42.90
eggplant in, yeah
just dump it, dump it in.
00:14:42.93\00:14:44.71
And you got your pan
hot here, yes, it's hot
00:14:45.69\00:14:48.12
and our onions and
peppers. These are green onions;
00:14:48.15\00:14:51.74
yeah I like the green
onions. And then dump in
00:14:51.77\00:14:57.01
our braggs, okay.
There you go, there we go,
00:14:57.04\00:15:02.66
oh yeah. You like
that though, that's right,
00:15:02.69\00:15:05.78
once you get your
unfermented soy sauce there,
00:15:05.81\00:15:07.51
the smell of it you know
it makes it seem oriental
00:15:07.54\00:15:10.14
already, you smell it
right. Now, what I want
00:15:10.17\00:15:11.85
to do is cover it yeah
for a couple of minutes,
00:15:11.88\00:15:14.05
okay. So, that the
steam will extract some of the
00:15:14.08\00:15:16.57
water, yes, and then
we can add our some more
00:15:16.60\00:15:19.75
vegetables in there,
yes. And just let these get
00:15:19.78\00:15:23.07
a little bit soft and
then we'll stir. Are these
00:15:23.10\00:15:25.96
your longest
cooking vegetables? Yes,
00:15:25.99\00:15:27.81
that's why you put them
in first, the eggplants,
00:15:27.84\00:15:29.62
okay, and then you
don't want your vegetables
00:15:29.65\00:15:32.37
to really cook until
they have just totally limped,
00:15:32.40\00:15:34.71
yeah right, you want
a bit of crunch, yes.
00:15:34.74\00:15:38.16
So, you just lightly
steam them, as a matter of fact
00:15:38.19\00:15:40.62
you can, you can
eat these like they are.
00:15:40.65\00:15:42.59
Right, right you can
eat them raw. Now, would you
00:15:42.62\00:15:45.13
wanna do that just
for making it seem better,
00:15:45.16\00:15:47.75
you know I'm saying as
far as having the vegetables
00:15:47.78\00:15:49.72
crisp tender or is
it for a health reason.
00:15:49.75\00:15:51.90
Health reason, okay,
okay so many foods you're
00:15:51.93\00:15:54.89
gonna eat in their
natural state, yes, and they're
00:15:54.92\00:15:57.05
healthier, right.
Okay, because you don't allow
00:15:57.08\00:16:00.18
the heat to destroy
any of the nutrients okay.
00:16:00.21\00:16:03.54
Or reduce the value of
the nutrients that are there.
00:16:03.57\00:16:06.27
Okay, so why don't we
add garbanzo red beans.
00:16:06.67\00:16:09.32
The carrots and I
think they taste good too
00:16:09.98\00:16:14.02
when they're not well
cooked, absolutely, mixed
00:16:14.05\00:16:16.61
for better taste of
this Stir Fry, you want
00:16:16.64\00:16:18.63
everything, and the
garbanzos, now what was this
00:16:18.66\00:16:24.11
our cumin, that's our
cumin, cumin. Can you get that,
00:16:24.14\00:16:28.98
there we go, the steam
made it thick, okay, oh yeah
00:16:29.01\00:16:34.53
it smells good, I can
smell it. It smells really good,
00:16:34.56\00:16:38.50
you guys I wish you
could be here with us and
00:16:38.53\00:16:40.04
smell it, but you can
make it at home and enjoy it.
00:16:40.07\00:16:42.37
And this too is a good
dish to put on top of rice
00:16:42.73\00:16:46.30
or couscous, good,
yeah or millet, yeah.
00:16:46.33\00:16:51.27
And what you can do is
just let it steam a minute,
00:16:51.94\00:16:54.51
okay, and just turn it
off. And that's it, that's it,
00:16:54.54\00:16:57.20
oh that's easy, is
that easy, I like that,
00:16:57.23\00:16:59.94
very nice. You can
substitute red cabbage,
00:16:59.97\00:17:01.93
you can chop some red
cabbage, okay that's a
00:17:01.96\00:17:04.90
good idea, or you can
do white cabbage, yeah.
00:17:04.93\00:17:06.42
You do yellow squash,
a variety of vegetables
00:17:06.45\00:17:10.49
and just vary them, yes
and that way you can add
00:17:10.52\00:17:13.99
different types of Stir
Fry with different, okay,
00:17:14.02\00:17:15.82
vegetables where you
get different nutrients
00:17:15.85\00:17:17.89
with your meals.
That's right and if you have,
00:17:17.92\00:17:19.67
whatever you have in
your garden you can throw in
00:17:20.54\00:17:21.51
your Stir Fry that
makes a good soup. Especially
00:17:22.24\00:17:24.16
in the summer time
when carrots, yeah, squash,
00:17:24.19\00:17:29.04
I know, all your cabbages
are plentiful, that's right,
00:17:29.07\00:17:32.18
this is excellent,
that's right, I love your summer
00:17:32.21\00:17:33.82
vegetables. So, we're
gonna turn this off, okay
00:17:33.85\00:17:36.34
and then there
continue to steam just a tad,
00:17:36.37\00:17:38.70
just a little bit with
the lid on. Oh! Very nice,
00:17:38.73\00:17:41.40
I like that yeah, now
we are making dessert next,
00:17:41.43\00:17:44.02
absolutely, don't we? I
love dessert, alright let's
00:17:44.05\00:17:47.23
read our recipe, you
wanna read that for us MarVella.
00:17:47.26\00:17:49.32
These are Coco-Crisp
Cookies. 5 c. old fashioned
00:17:49.81\00:17:53.63
oatmeal 2 c.
unsweetened coconut flakes
00:17:53.66\00:17:57.02
1½ c. coconut milk 1
c. roasted sesame seeds
00:17:57.28\00:18:03.25
1 c. raw sunflower
seeds 1 c. pure honey or
00:18:03.58\00:18:07.96
pure maple syrup 2
tsp. vanilla flavoring
00:18:08.17\00:18:11.32
and 2 tsp. sea salt
Well, these are really neat
00:18:11.35\00:18:16.54
cookies MarVella,
because they all have healthy
00:18:16.57\00:18:18.54
ingredients, yes. I like
that and you can eat them
00:18:18.57\00:18:21.27
and not feel guilty,
you know and then you don't
00:18:21.30\00:18:24.47
eat too much that's
right, that's right. Because
00:18:24.50\00:18:27.27
they satisfy not
gratify, yeah there I like that,
00:18:27.30\00:18:30.81
satisfy not gratify,
it's good, it's good alright.
00:18:31.31\00:18:34.03
What do we need to do
here? Well, I will mix
00:18:34.06\00:18:37.37
the liquids, okay, and
you can mix the dry, okay,
00:18:37.84\00:18:41.07
I think I can handle
that, can you, I'll try,
00:18:41.10\00:18:43.75
alright. Well, I'm gonna
put my coconut milk here,
00:18:43.78\00:18:47.12
okay and I'm taking the
oats here. Now, these are
00:18:47.15\00:18:51.83
quick oats or these are
regular old fashioned oats
00:18:51.86\00:18:53.88
that you ground. Those
are old fashioned oats,
00:18:53.91\00:18:56.15
okay, that I put in
the blender in the ground,
00:18:56.18\00:18:58.93
okay yes, yeah, good.
Now, you don't have to
00:18:58.96\00:19:02.03
grind them, but what
it does it makes a better
00:19:02.06\00:19:05.05
texture of cookies,
yes, yes and flakes aren't
00:19:05.08\00:19:07.75
so big, absolutely,
otherwise you have big
00:19:07.78\00:19:09.86
flakes in your
cookie. As a matter of fact
00:19:09.89\00:19:12.14
oatmeal has starch in
it, okay and so it helps
00:19:12.17\00:19:16.17
the cookie to stick
together, oh okay, okay,
00:19:16.20\00:19:19.14
yeah, without adding
anymore flour, or eggs
00:19:19.17\00:19:23.61
or corn starch, man,
okay so just the oats itself
00:19:23.64\00:19:27.24
does that. The oats
itself, good, yeah let me give
00:19:27.27\00:19:29.89
you these coconut
flakes, coconut flakes, oh yeah.
00:19:29.92\00:19:32.98
So, we have a lot of
nice coconuts, 'cause we have
00:19:33.34\00:19:34.94
the coconut milk and the
coconut flakes, it's good.
00:19:34.97\00:19:37.52
I'm adding my honey
good, I live down the street
00:19:38.57\00:19:42.99
from a bee farm, oh fun
very nice so you buy your
00:19:43.02\00:19:47.41
honey from them. I do,
and I took my students there
00:19:47.44\00:19:51.63
on a tour one day.
Like a field trip, yes, yeah
00:19:52.56\00:19:55.49
that's a good idea. And
he has farms and those hives
00:19:55.52\00:19:59.49
located different
places in the area. And they
00:19:59.52\00:20:04.35
really enjoyed it, as
a matter of fact he has
00:20:04.38\00:20:07.24
a hive right there in
the shop with the bees in it.
00:20:07.27\00:20:12.09
Okay, so that they can
see, amazing, yes, and so he,
00:20:12.12\00:20:14.55
they can really see
how it's made some. They go
00:20:14.58\00:20:16.87
out to the fields and
yeah, I'm gonna reach and grab
00:20:16.90\00:20:19.84
this in front of you and
gather around all the little
00:20:19.87\00:20:22.75
flowers, yeah, and
they make their honey there.
00:20:23.26\00:20:26.48
Wow, that's amazing,
yeah, that's neat. Now, this is
00:20:26.51\00:20:30.80
my vanilla, vanilla and I'm
going to put a salt in this,
00:20:30.83\00:20:35.07
okay, okay and that
way it'll blend better,
00:20:35.48\00:20:38.84
it's more evenly
distributed yes, right,
00:20:38.87\00:20:41.34
and we'll mix through
out the batter. I think this
00:20:41.99\00:20:47.25
one's ready, is it? I put
in the sesame and then the,
00:20:47.28\00:20:50.25
was it sunflower
seeds, sunflower seeds okay
00:20:50.28\00:20:52.69
and we ground that,
the sesame seeds give it,
00:20:52.72\00:20:54.56
a nutty flavor, I can
smell it, can you? Yeah,
00:20:54.59\00:20:58.36
and the cookies turn
out really crisp without
00:20:58.39\00:21:01.91
using butter and
margarine. Yeah, and I think
00:21:01.94\00:21:04.28
people like the crunch,
right and that's why raw
00:21:04.31\00:21:07.39
vegetables and raw
fruit are so satisfying,
00:21:07.42\00:21:09.92
it's because of the
crunch, right, right we chew
00:21:09.95\00:21:12.34
our food and that
brings satisfaction like a baby
00:21:12.37\00:21:14.71
sucks and that brings
the baby satisfaction,
00:21:14.74\00:21:17.21
that make sense, that's
why we like potato chips,
00:21:17.24\00:21:19.49
yes, that's right, okay,
oh yeah. It's the crunch,
00:21:19.52\00:21:22.07
yeah, alright, can we
pour it in, okay, oh it
00:21:22.10\00:21:30.32
looks good, mix it with
the spoon. You wanna get
00:21:30.35\00:21:33.09
all of this honey, all
of the liquid yeah, oh!
00:21:33.12\00:21:38.85
It smells good, smells
kind of like peanut butter
00:21:38.88\00:21:41.63
doesn't it? I was
thinking of that because the
00:21:41.66\00:21:43.79
coconut combined with
the honey, combined with the
00:21:43.82\00:21:45.94
honey, combined with
the sesame, it's the roasted
00:21:45.97\00:21:47.08
sesame seeds, yeah,
yeah. Salt free, but they're
00:21:47.11\00:21:50.47
roasted, okay, yeah do
you roast them yourself or
00:21:50.50\00:21:52.92
you buy them roasted.
No, I will buy them from a
00:21:52.95\00:21:54.57
little oriental shop,
okay, that has all of the, oh!
00:21:54.60\00:21:59.01
That's nice, most of
the grains and seeds, yeah
00:21:59.04\00:22:00.81
now you want to do
this with your hand like you
00:22:00.84\00:22:02.86
did the last one or
not. You can or you can just,
00:22:02.89\00:22:05.55
or is it okay like
this, just stir it like this.
00:22:05.58\00:22:07.85
There we go, this is
always the dry ingredients
00:22:09.71\00:22:12.59
are well saturated with
the what? With the liquid,
00:22:12.62\00:22:16.32
yes, you see how
it's coming together, yeah
00:22:16.35\00:22:19.22
it looks good. It
doesn't matter how much you
00:22:19.25\00:22:22.61
stir that, as long as you
stir it well enough, okay.
00:22:22.64\00:22:25.31
So, that you can
shake the cookies, good, now
00:22:25.34\00:22:30.18
what we do? You can do
it with your hand, I like to
00:22:30.21\00:22:33.08
use this even though
these are cute little things.
00:22:33.11\00:22:35.65
They just don't do much
for me, yeah, okay, okay.
00:22:36.72\00:22:39.16
So, you want to get down
to the real Nitty Gritty,
00:22:39.19\00:22:41.50
okay good and you can
kind of mash it, because you
00:22:41.85\00:22:44.27
want that gluten in
there. You want that starch,
00:22:44.30\00:22:47.45
yes, to help these to
stick together and it makes
00:22:47.48\00:22:50.86
the cookie form better
yes, absolutely and you can
00:22:51.44\00:22:54.57
either take them and drop
them with a spoon and mash
00:22:54.60\00:22:57.85
them or you can take
them and shake them with your
00:22:57.88\00:22:59.99
hand, okay. So, you just
decide, so just like this
00:23:00.02\00:23:03.12
and then drop them and
just mash them a little bit
00:23:04.50\00:23:07.62
with the back of the
spoon. Like that, good,
00:23:07.65\00:23:10.71
and what do you bake
them at, what temperature,
00:23:10.74\00:23:12.94
bake them about 400,
okay, you don't want to bake
00:23:12.97\00:23:15.51
them too fast
because, okay, they're small.
00:23:15.54\00:23:18.50
You don't want them to
burn, that one is too big
00:23:18.53\00:23:19.82
I think, yeah well you
can just take the spoon,
00:23:19.85\00:23:22.51
I think it's a big one,
and just recheck. So, when
00:23:22.54\00:23:27.37
the children make the
cookies of course you know
00:23:27.40\00:23:28.98
they have to have a few
big ones on there for you
00:23:29.01\00:23:31.22
know who? Oh! Yeah, oh!
Yeah, but you want to try
00:23:31.25\00:23:35.75
to keep them the same
size because you want them
00:23:35.78\00:23:38.07
to get done at the
same time. Okay, okay, I see
00:23:38.10\00:23:44.05
people from the country
like me, hey you heard of
00:23:44.08\00:23:47.27
people from the South
when we cook we say we put our
00:23:47.30\00:23:50.57
foot in that dish. I
haven't heard that, you haven't?
00:23:50.60\00:23:54.23
You put your foot in
the dish, put it in the dish
00:23:56.68\00:23:57.65
and what does that
mean? That means that you cook
00:23:57.66\00:23:58.71
that so well it is
awesome, ohh, it sounds good.
00:23:58.74\00:24:02.46
So, we're gonna do that
with this, yes delicious,
00:24:04.72\00:24:07.18
put our foot in the
dish. Yeah, alright and you can
00:24:07.21\00:24:10.76
put one more over
there, one over here. And put
00:24:10.79\00:24:12.90
just a tad bit more on
this one, very good, okay,
00:24:12.93\00:24:16.17
nice and of course
you know for more cookies
00:24:17.71\00:24:19.91
you have one larger
flatter dish. You could have
00:24:19.94\00:24:21.73
like a big cookie sheet
or something and that would
00:24:21.76\00:24:23.64
work very nice. And
you see how simple that is,
00:24:23.67\00:24:25.97
that even children can
make this. Oh! Yeah, easy,
00:24:26.00\00:24:28.59
easy, easy, get your
hands in there, that be a lot of
00:24:28.62\00:24:30.06

Welcome back friends,

00:26:43.16\00:26:45.29
food that we made
today, yes, our holiday food,
00:26:45.32\00:26:48.00

at what we made, we started
00:26:48.03\00:26:50.83
with our meatless meatballs.
And they smell so good,
00:26:50.86\00:26:54.09
oh! They do, I can't wait
to try that, they're tasty,
00:26:54.12\00:26:56.42
yes with the tofu in
them and next we went to,
00:26:56.45\00:26:59.04
our Candied Sweet
Potatoes and I can see
00:26:59.07\00:27:02.20
it's set up a lot after
you baked it, and it was alone.
00:27:02.23\00:27:04.98
You know, that's right,
it makes a big difference
00:27:05.01\00:27:07.01
yeah and next we
went to our Stir Fry, yes,
00:27:07.55\00:27:09.83
a quick and easy Stir
Fry. The garbanzo beans
00:27:09.86\00:27:13.27
really add to it, oh!
Yeah, I like that very much
00:27:13.30\00:27:15.99
and it's nice you can see
that vegetables aren't all
00:27:16.02\00:27:17.78
wilted, that's good. And
last we went to our cookies,
00:27:17.81\00:27:20.41

the coconut aroma, yes,
00:27:22.05\00:27:26.74

get that too and the kind of
00:27:28.75\00:27:30.35
