to fix for your family"?

00:00:08.20\00:00:10.53
Hello friends, and
welcome to another program of
00:00:43.13\00:00:45.55
"Let's Cook Together. "
00:00:45.58\00:00:46.80
I'm your host, Jill Morikone.
00:00:46.83\00:00:48.80
And we have an exciting
program planned for you today
00:00:48.83\00:00:51.27
of easy, quick,
delicious recipes
00:00:51.28\00:00:53.89
you can share with your
family for dinner in a hurry.
00:00:53.92\00:00:56.04
First, I want to introduce
you to my special guest
00:00:56.07\00:00:58.55
here with me in the kitchen,
00:00:58.58\00:00:59.68
all the way from
New Market, Alabama.
00:00:59.71\00:01:01.97
Her name is MarVella Burton.
00:01:02.00\00:01:03.84
And I just want to
welcome you, MarVella.
00:01:03.85\00:01:05.52
Thank you, Jill.
Thanks for coming here
00:01:05.55\00:01:07.44
and spending your time,
and sharing your talents.
00:01:07.47\00:01:09.70
It's my pleasure.
00:01:09.73\00:01:10.70
Tell us, first of all, a
little bit about your ministry,
00:01:10.71\00:01:13.01
Marvelous Lifestyle Ministry.
00:01:13.02\00:01:15.97
Well, it has a health foundation
00:01:16.00\00:01:19.10
but I also do
education with children.
00:01:19.13\00:01:22.28
Okay.
00:01:22.31\00:01:23.36
We have a school. My
mother started it years ago.
00:01:23.39\00:01:25.95
I was one of her first students.
00:01:25.98\00:01:27.97
That's pretty special! Isn't it?
00:01:28.00\00:01:29.67
Oh, that's neat, I like
that. And so, she has continued
00:01:29.70\00:01:32.83
to teach and even
now, she's well up in age,
00:01:32.86\00:01:35.80
but she's in
the classroom still,
00:01:35.83\00:01:37.83
and so, we teach
them lifestyle changes.
00:01:37.86\00:01:41.86
But in addition to that,
we teach the Word of God.
00:01:41.89\00:01:44.48
Amen.
00:01:44.51\00:01:46.15
And we want to
train missionaries.
00:01:46.18\00:01:47.99
So the thrust of our educational
program is missionary work.
00:01:48.55\00:01:52.25
Teaching them how
to use their hands
00:01:52.59\00:01:54.28
as well as their heads
00:01:54.31\00:01:56.13
and how to make
good choices for Christ.
00:01:56.16\00:01:59.25
You have practical education
00:01:59.28\00:02:00.87
as well as just
the book learning.
00:02:00.90\00:02:02.94
You give the practical aspects.
00:02:02.97\00:02:04.27
And this year, we're
attempting to begin a bakery.
00:02:04.30\00:02:07.47
Oh, that's wonderful!
00:02:07.50\00:02:10.14
Along with the large
garden, so we can sell produce
00:02:10.17\00:02:13.47
to the community and the
children can learn to work
00:02:13.50\00:02:16.65
with their hands in the field.
00:02:16.68\00:02:18.23
That's right.
Producing some food.
00:02:18.26\00:02:19.71
That's right,
absolutely. To see where our
00:02:19.74\00:02:21.91
food comes from,
and to see how it grows.
00:02:21.94\00:02:23.66
And you can learn so
many spiritual lessons,
00:02:23.69\00:02:24.98
working in the soil.
00:02:25.01\00:02:25.98
And especially now,
with the food... Yes.
00:02:26.07\00:02:29.64
...issue and
economics... I know.
00:02:29.67\00:02:33.74
it makes a
difference, when you can
00:02:33.77\00:02:34.74
just go out in your backyard
and pick your vegetables...
00:02:34.86\00:02:36.91
That's right.
00:02:36.94\00:02:38.47
...and from your fruit trees,
00:02:38.50\00:02:39.78
...and you know
exactly what you're getting.
00:02:39.81\00:02:42.72
You know where it comes from?
00:02:42.75\00:02:43.96
Yeah. That's right.
Oh, that's wonderful!
00:02:43.98\00:02:46.19
That's real exciting!
00:02:46.22\00:02:47.19
So, you would have the
children in there working
00:02:47.20\00:02:48.38
with the bakery
as well then. Yes.
00:02:48.41\00:02:50.29
Right. That will be
the part of the education.
00:02:50.32\00:02:52.25
Yes, that's good.
00:02:52.28\00:02:53.33
My mother's always wanted that
00:02:53.36\00:02:54.87
since she moved
out to the country,
00:02:54.90\00:02:56.19
and so, hopefully this year,
00:02:56.22\00:02:57.93
we can see that
come to fruition.
00:02:57.96\00:02:59.40
Yeah, your
mother's a special lady.
00:02:59.43\00:03:00.96
Her mom came with
her and is here actually
00:03:00.99\00:03:04.22
in the studio and
spending some time.
00:03:04.25\00:03:06.25
That's real
special to meet your mom
00:03:06.28\00:03:07.65
and have her here, too.
00:03:07.68\00:03:09.01
Now, your kids are young.
They're kindergarten through
00:03:09.28\00:03:12.53
what grades do you
go? Pre-K through 9.
00:03:12.56\00:03:14.87
Pre-K through 9. Okay.
00:03:14.90\00:03:16.83
That's neat, I'm real excited...
And we have the old traditional
00:03:16.86\00:03:19.59
one-room
classroom. Oh, that's neat.
00:03:19.62\00:03:22.96
Multi-grades. Yes.
00:03:22.99\00:03:24.58
Yeah. And it's exciting.
00:03:24.61\00:03:25.58
We have Bible studies
there every Friday night.
00:03:25.59\00:03:27.99
So, we're teaching them.
00:03:29.22\00:03:30.19
They're learning.
00:03:30.20\00:03:31.17
And out of that class has
come some missionaries already.
00:03:31.18\00:03:36.10
Oh, praise God!
00:03:36.13\00:03:37.71
You know, that's an army
of youth rightly trained...
00:03:37.74\00:03:39.79
Yeah. ... that God is using.
00:03:39.82\00:03:40.82
That's right.
00:03:40.85\00:03:41.82
But now we're
cooking dinner stuff.
00:03:41.83\00:03:43.87
We're cooking dinner.
00:03:43.90\00:03:44.87
Yeah! Let's go and
meet our first recipe.
00:03:44.88\00:03:48.34
For that is our Country Sausage.
00:03:48.37\00:03:51.92
For that, you need...
00:03:51.95\00:03:53.10
You also need...
00:04:06.80\00:04:08.43
All right! I like that!
00:04:19.85\00:04:21.14
Nice quick and
easy Country Sausage.
00:04:21.17\00:04:22.95
Right. And the key
is equal parts oats
00:04:22.98\00:04:26.74
and equal parts pecan meal.
00:04:26.77\00:04:28.75
And the pecan meal gives this
this meaty texture and flavor.
00:04:29.50\00:04:33.22
Yeah. Okay, okay.
00:04:33.25\00:04:34.26
Along with the sage.
00:04:34.57\00:04:35.54
And the oats holds it together?
00:04:35.55\00:04:36.85
Holds it together.
That's important too.
00:04:36.88\00:04:39.05
Okay, it is. All right.
00:04:39.06\00:04:40.86
So, I have my
skillet heating here.
00:04:40.89\00:04:42.87
It's on, good.
00:04:42.90\00:04:44.37
And, first of all, I already
have my water in my dish.
00:04:44.40\00:04:49.75
Good. We're going to add
00:04:49.78\00:04:50.88
our seasonings here.
Our soy. Our garlic powder.
00:04:50.91\00:04:55.31
Good. You can use as much
00:04:55.34\00:04:57.32
as you like.
00:04:57.35\00:04:58.52
And we have our
oats... If you could use fresh,
00:04:58.55\00:05:01.99
fresh garlic... Oh, yes.
00:05:02.00\00:05:03.90
I mean not... Fresh garlic.
00:05:03.93\00:05:05.43
What am I saying!
Fresh garlic. That's right.
00:05:05.46\00:05:06.74
Yeah.
00:05:06.77\00:05:07.74
Just crush it
and put it in there.
00:05:07.75\00:05:09.56
Ok.
00:05:09.59\00:05:10.56
And then, we're
going to use some sea salt.
00:05:10.57\00:05:12.26
Good. And thyme.
00:05:12.29\00:05:15.37
It really gives
it a nice flavor.
00:05:15.40\00:05:17.23
Oh, absolutely.
00:05:17.26\00:05:18.23
And then, some sage. Yes.
00:05:18.24\00:05:20.03
I like sage in burgers.
00:05:20.06\00:05:21.72
And of course...
African Bird cayenne pepper...
00:05:21.75\00:05:25.07
Just for kicks...
00:05:25.10\00:05:26.56
Now, this African
Bird is a special type
00:05:28.69\00:05:30.54
of cayenne
pepper. Right? Yes, it is.
00:05:30.57\00:05:32.74
And it's relatively hot.
00:05:32.80\00:05:35.16
You can get in
different heating units...
00:05:35.19\00:05:36.98
Okay. But it's therapeutic.
00:05:37.01\00:05:38.45
It really
increases the circulation.
00:05:38.48\00:05:40.87
Helps the heart. Yeah.
00:05:41.58\00:05:44.13
Excellent. Now,
what we're going to do
00:05:44.16\00:05:46.27
is add our oats, and...
Now those are the quick oats.
00:05:46.30\00:05:50.91
Those are the quick.
00:05:50.94\00:05:52.59
Okay. And because, we are adding
00:05:52.62\00:05:53.76
equal parts of pecan meal,
00:05:53.79\00:05:57.54
then the texture will be firmer.
00:05:57.57\00:06:00.05
Okay? Yes, that's right.
00:06:00.18\00:06:01.61
So we're going to
stir and stir and mix here.
00:06:01.64\00:06:05.04
It smells good.
00:06:05.07\00:06:06.53
Starting to even smelling
like a sausage burger here.
00:06:06.56\00:06:08.14
And the key is more
African Bird cayenne pepper.
00:06:08.15\00:06:13.01
And the quick gets...
00:06:13.26\00:06:15.05
It's nice and
wet. I can see that.
00:06:15.93\00:06:17.68
...well, it gets done quicker.
00:06:17.71\00:06:19.52
Yes, that's right.
00:06:19.56\00:06:20.91
Okay, because the
granules are smaller.
00:06:20.94\00:06:23.96
Mix, mix, mix, mix, mix...
00:06:25.45\00:06:26.75
Now would you
let it sit for awhile
00:06:26.78\00:06:28.45
till it becomes
absorbed? You don't have to.
00:06:28.48\00:06:29.58
You don't have to. It's all set.
00:06:29.61\00:06:30.75
That's because, as I
stir, it is absorbing
00:06:30.78\00:06:32.78
and, because it's quick
oats, it takes less time.
00:06:32.81\00:06:35.52
Alright. That makes sense.
00:06:35.55\00:06:37.26
So, I'm going
to just put less...
00:06:37.29\00:06:39.97
And here we go. Top
off here and just add...
00:06:43.44\00:06:46.70
Smells hot.
Yeah. Okay. All righty.
00:06:46.73\00:06:49.84
Just drop along here.
00:06:51.98\00:06:53.04
And try to get
them the same size
00:06:53.07\00:06:56.62
and that way they
cook about the same time.
00:06:56.65\00:06:59.66
And you can use a
little jar or canning lid...
00:06:59.69\00:07:04.37
You know, that's funny. I
was just going to say that.
00:07:04.40\00:07:06.24
A small one.
It's about that size
00:07:06.28\00:07:10.61
to make them look perfect.
00:07:10.93\00:07:11.90
But, you know, that
looks pretty perfect as it is.
00:07:11.91\00:07:13.66
Well, you get used to doing this
00:07:13.69\00:07:15.40
and you just know
how much to put out.
00:07:15.43\00:07:18.72
Oh, that looks good!
00:07:20.54\00:07:22.14
Now, how long do
you cook them for?
00:07:22.17\00:07:23.48
You put the lid on?
00:07:23.51\00:07:24.48
You put the lid on.
OK. Let the steam help.
00:07:24.49\00:07:26.37
Do about five-to-seven
minutes on one side.
00:07:26.40\00:07:29.86
And, then you flip them.
00:07:29.89\00:07:31.82
And, they brown so nicely.
00:07:31.85\00:07:35.16
Oh, I'm sure.
00:07:35.19\00:07:36.63
I can't wait to see what
they look like at the end.
00:07:36.66\00:07:39.85
Now, you can do
this ahead of time
00:07:39.88\00:07:42.60
and then you could freeze them.
00:07:42.63\00:07:45.79
Bake them and put
them in the freezer.
00:07:45.82\00:07:47.63
You can put gravy over
these. You can eat them.
00:07:47.66\00:07:50.00
You can fix yourself some nice
whole grain grits on the side
00:07:50.03\00:07:53.26
with nice mixed fruit.
00:07:54.37\00:07:56.04
It makes a delicious breakfast.
00:07:56.08\00:07:57.97
Sounds like a good breakfast.
00:07:58.00\00:07:58.97
I might try it for dinner but
00:07:58.98\00:07:59.98
it sounds like a
good breakfast to me.
00:08:00.01\00:08:01.37
Right, because
they're versatile.
00:08:01.40\00:08:02.51
Or, you could use
them with mashed potatoes.
00:08:02.54\00:08:06.62
And, fix you a nice salad.
00:08:06.65\00:08:09.35
And you don't need much.
00:08:09.38\00:08:10.97
When you're eating wholesome
and you have whole grain,
00:08:11.00\00:08:13.78
it's quite
satisfying and very filling
00:08:13.81\00:08:16.42
and you will find
that you eat less.
00:08:16.45\00:08:17.82
Right. Yes.
00:08:17.83\00:08:18.80
And that cuts
down on the weight.
00:08:18.81\00:08:21.12
I used to weigh
220 pounds at one time.
00:08:21.15\00:08:23.16
Really! Wow! I
would never know that!
00:08:23.19\00:08:26.57
You look really good.
00:08:26.60\00:08:27.97
And so, as you learn, you
begin to change some things
00:08:28.00\00:08:31.49
and keep
shrinking, and keep shrinking,
00:08:31.52\00:08:33.32
and keep shrinking.
Little by little as you change.
00:08:33.35\00:08:36.69
And you begin to
enjoy eating like this.
00:08:36.72\00:08:39.29
It's not drudgery.
Oh yeah, I love to eat!
00:08:39.30\00:08:42.26
Good, let's go to
our next recipe here.
00:08:43.72\00:08:46.67
You want to read
that recipe for us?
00:08:46.70\00:08:48.36
You know, MarVella, to me,
besides being a good dinner
00:09:11.63\00:09:13.88
thing, it seems like a good
picnic recipe, Green Pea Salad.
00:09:13.91\00:09:17.00
That's why it's
quick. Yeah, that's nice!
00:09:17.03\00:09:19.55
You could take it
out with your family
00:09:19.58\00:09:20.57
and I like that! It's versatile.
00:09:20.60\00:09:22.60
Yeah, that's right. We
have our peas already cooked.
00:09:22.63\00:09:25.19
Already cooked and seasoned
with just a tad of salt.
00:09:25.22\00:09:28.04
All we do is just mix
the ingredients together.
00:09:28.07\00:09:31.83
This gives it a
little color and flavor.
00:09:31.86\00:09:34.83
You can use any type of peppers.
00:09:34.86\00:09:36.85
and this is our -
yum - scrumptious celery.
00:09:36.88\00:09:40.19
Yes!
00:09:40.22\00:09:41.48
It looks good already.
00:09:41.51\00:09:46.30
It does! O, yeah!
Anything with peas is good.
00:09:46.33\00:09:48.86
Do you like sweet peas?
00:09:48.89\00:09:50.47
I do! I love sweet peas.
00:09:50.50\00:09:51.98
Add a little
taste of sea salt there.
00:09:52.01\00:09:56.04
And a little
nutritional yeast flakes.
00:09:56.07\00:09:58.70
O, yeah. That makes it
kind of cheesy tasting.
00:09:58.73\00:10:01.16
And we are going to mix this.
00:10:04.22\00:10:06.19
And I like it because
you can put more or less.
00:10:06.22\00:10:08.96
It's not like you
have to put the...
00:10:08.99\00:10:10.35
That's right. Just a little bit.
00:10:10.38\00:10:14.26
And then we add
our vegan dressing.
00:10:14.29\00:10:16.93
Now, we made this vegan
dressing on another program.
00:10:16.96\00:10:19.38
Right.
00:10:19.41\00:10:21.54
So you just put
as much as you like.
00:10:21.57\00:10:23.33
This is my Thousand
Island salad dressing.
00:10:23.36\00:10:30.81
And you see how it makes
it a little bit more colorful.
00:10:30.84\00:10:34.32
We add just a tad more.
00:10:35.34\00:10:37.24
Yeah, I think we
could use some more.
00:10:37.27\00:10:38.92
Yum. Luscious! That's very good.
00:10:42.66\00:10:45.83
It smells good.
00:10:45.84\00:10:46.96
So you have your
legumes and some veggies.
00:10:49.13\00:10:53.89
And this makes a
nice, quick meal. Yum!
00:10:53.92\00:10:56.93
We have your little salad
here. And it's light, too.
00:10:56.96\00:10:59.99
Absolutely. If you want
something real light for dinner.
00:11:00.02\00:11:02.58
And peas are lighter than beans.
00:11:02.61\00:11:04.07
So, we are going to
put some on our leaves.
00:11:06.94\00:11:09.88
We have some spinach
- fresh spinach leaves.
00:11:09.91\00:11:12.65
That's nice. Isn't that pretty?
00:11:12.68\00:11:16.96
Luscious. I really
like fresh spinach.
00:11:16.99\00:11:21.99
Once you put this on
there, even the dressing
00:11:22.02\00:11:25.13
from the pea salad
actually makes the spinach
00:11:25.16\00:11:29.21
taste really nice.
Doesn't that look nice?
00:11:29.24\00:11:32.50
How about that for a side salad?
00:11:33.10\00:11:35.25
Very nice. For a change.
00:11:35.28\00:11:37.33
For a nice picnic, too.
00:11:37.36\00:11:38.49
Right. And it
beats just plain peas.
00:11:38.52\00:11:40.48
I have some students
who do not like peas.
00:11:40.51\00:11:43.22
But this is a
different way to prepare it.
00:11:43.25\00:11:46.58
And it's healthful.
00:11:46.61\00:11:48.16
I like that about you because
you have all these different
00:11:48.19\00:11:51.09
ways and ideas of
putting vegetables in things
00:11:51.12\00:11:53.87
to get you to
eat your vegetables.
00:11:53.90\00:11:55.46
And it gives you
variety. And we need that.
00:11:55.49\00:11:59.43
it's the spice
of life. Yes it is.
00:11:59.46\00:12:01.60
Now, if you wanted to
do a potato and peas thing,
00:12:01.63\00:12:06.07
like new potatoes in the summer,
00:12:06.10\00:12:07.53
could you do
similar with potatoes?
00:12:07.56\00:12:09.68
Absolutely. You
just steam your potatoes
00:12:09.71\00:12:12.89
and cut them in small pieces.
00:12:12.92\00:12:14.35
You can mix them with
the potatoes, some peppers
00:12:14.38\00:12:16.90
and have your potato pea salad.
00:12:16.93\00:12:18.97
So it would be similar.
Same meal. Same type of thing.
00:12:18.98\00:12:21.18
Add a little turmeric.
Leave a few potatoes hot
00:12:21.21\00:12:25.59
add a little
turmeric to give that color.
00:12:25.62\00:12:27.46
And then mix them together.
00:12:27.49\00:12:28.93
That would be
really good. I like that.
00:12:28.96\00:12:31.78
It is so neat because
you can take one recipe
00:12:31.81\00:12:33.80
and you can use it in
so many different ways.
00:12:33.83\00:12:36.14
And that teaches
us to be creative.
00:12:36.17\00:12:39.72
OK, we're going to make
another dinner recipe here.
00:12:39.75\00:12:43.73
This is pretty neat.
00:13:07.58\00:13:08.55
I have never heard
of putting coconut milk
00:13:08.56\00:13:10.10
in your mashed potatoes.
00:13:10.11\00:13:11.44
Yes you did. I just told you.
00:13:11.47\00:13:13.15
That's right. But it works.
00:13:15.15\00:13:17.67
I just asked MarVella,
00:13:20.16\00:13:22.80
"Is this southern
style to do this?"
00:13:22.83\00:13:24.63
And you said, "No.
It was MarVella style. "
00:13:24.66\00:13:27.02
I like that. But I have
never heard of it before now.
00:13:27.05\00:13:30.51
You already cooked these?
00:13:31.65\00:13:32.84
We steamed the potatoes.
00:13:32.87\00:13:34.17
With the skins on?
00:13:34.20\00:13:35.37
With the skins on.
00:13:35.40\00:13:36.50
And we scrubbed
them really well.
00:13:36.53\00:13:38.04
And then we just mash the
potatoes just like normal.
00:13:38.07\00:13:41.20
That's nice and easy.
Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.
00:13:41.23\00:13:44.55
And what you want
to do is make sure
00:13:44.58\00:13:46.63
that you really
clean the potatoes.
00:13:46.66\00:13:49.55
And purchase good potatoes.
00:13:49.58\00:13:52.61
Some people don't like
them with the skins on but...
00:13:52.64\00:13:55.70
Yep. It depends.
00:13:55.73\00:13:57.11
If you don't like
that, you can peel them
00:13:57.14\00:13:58.86
and then steam them. Right?
00:13:58.89\00:13:59.86
No. Steam them
first, then peel them.
00:13:59.87\00:14:02.98
It makes peeling easier
00:14:03.01\00:14:05.44
and you don't
strip off the nutrients
00:14:05.47\00:14:09.26
by cutting the potatoes.
00:14:09.29\00:14:10.91
Once you steam them,
the skins actually...
00:14:10.94\00:14:14.65
They come off so easily.
00:14:14.68\00:14:16.27
Oh, flake off! Like that.
00:14:16.30\00:14:17.66
So, once you start mashing them,
then you just add a bit of milk
00:14:17.69\00:14:22.93
That makes it super creamy.
00:14:22.96\00:14:25.71
I can really see that.
00:14:26.29\00:14:27.59
And, that way, you don't
have to use your margarine
00:14:27.82\00:14:31.10
and your butter.
00:14:31.13\00:14:33.61
And you can have some vegan
mashed-or smashed-potatoes.
00:14:33.64\00:14:39.63
There you go.
00:14:39.66\00:14:41.11
And the coconut milk
00:14:41.14\00:14:42.44
doesn't make it
super sweet or something.
00:14:42.47\00:14:43.85
It doesn't add anything.
00:14:43.86\00:14:46.21
So you just keep mashing up.
00:14:46.23\00:14:49.09
These are still
warm. And that helps?
00:14:49.12\00:14:52.69
It helps. If
their hot, it's better.
00:14:52.73\00:14:56.27
And they mash
easier and quicker.
00:14:56.30\00:14:59.38
And, if you have an
electric mixer at home,
00:14:59.41\00:15:02.50
you can do that, too. Right.
00:15:02.53\00:15:03.93
So you see how special that is.
00:15:03.94\00:15:07.86
And, so you add
your milk as you need it.
00:15:07.89\00:15:10.21
Keep adding it and the potatoes
get creamier and creamier.
00:15:10.24\00:15:17.23
If you don't have coconut
milk, you can use soy milk
00:15:17.26\00:15:20.11
or a nut milk. Almond milk.
00:15:20.14\00:15:23.02
And so we can add
our seasoning here.
00:15:23.05\00:15:25.62
A little Bragg.
A little sea salt.
00:15:25.65\00:15:29.62
This will make it
give you the savory flavor.
00:15:29.65\00:15:31.40
And then, your
onion and garlic powder.
00:15:33.15\00:15:36.63
And you just keep
mashing until all the flavors
00:15:36.66\00:15:42.05
are mixed together
there. See how creamy that is.
00:15:42.08\00:15:45.16
Yeah, I like that.
00:15:45.19\00:15:46.29
If you serve this
with your sausage,
00:15:46.32\00:15:47.82
you could just pull your
sausage out of the freezer
00:15:47.85\00:15:49.66
and heat it up and do that.
00:15:49.69\00:15:51.35
If you want, you could
fix a gravy to go with it.
00:15:51.38\00:15:55.88
Yes, that's good.
00:15:55.91\00:15:57.59
One more potato.
00:15:57.60\00:15:58.57
Yeah, we have got
to get him in there.
00:15:58.58\00:15:59.73
You can even put your
oven on time bake or something
00:16:03.61\00:16:06.40
and bake your potatoes so
they just come out of the oven
00:16:06.43\00:16:08.50
when you get home
from work or something.
00:16:08.53\00:16:09.63
That's right.
00:16:09.64\00:16:11.09
Now you can take
this, and if you like,
00:16:11.12\00:16:13.33
you can put it
in the oven on broil
00:16:13.36\00:16:15.60
and just toast or
lightly toast the top of it.
00:16:15.63\00:16:20.26
Aw! That's a good idea!
00:16:20.29\00:16:22.26
Or you can finish it
off with some parsley flakes
00:16:22.29\00:16:25.52
or paprika.
00:16:25.55\00:16:27.11
That would be nice.
00:16:27.14\00:16:28.11
So, we use all the coconut?
00:16:28.12\00:16:30.01
Oh! I was just going to
ask, "Did we use it all?"
00:16:30.04\00:16:31.83
And you just put
the rest in here.
00:16:31.86\00:16:33.56
The more you mash, you see that
the potatoes will look soft.
00:16:33.59\00:16:38.43
They do. So you need some more.
00:16:38.46\00:16:40.33
You need some more because you
want to get that creamy texture.
00:16:40.34\00:16:43.09
The more you add,
the creamier they get.
00:16:43.12\00:16:45.78
And you can do half-and-half.
00:16:45.81\00:16:48.40
Half another
milk-soy- and half coconut.
00:16:48.43\00:16:53.20
See how quick and
easy that is. Oh, yeah.
00:16:53.23\00:16:55.77
The more you mash,
the creamier they get.
00:16:55.80\00:16:57.77
We'll clean this off.
00:17:00.08\00:17:02.30
Then we'll have our
little dish to put them in.
00:17:06.06\00:17:07.77
Oh, they smell good! I
thought I could smell this.
00:17:09.26\00:17:12.01
And, you can add more soy
sauce or more sea salt to taste.
00:17:12.04\00:17:19.18
But, if you are
going to put gravy on it,
00:17:19.21\00:17:21.15
you don't want it too salty
00:17:21.16\00:17:23.43
because the gravy
has seasoning in it.
00:17:24.38\00:17:27.11
Put this in your dish.
00:17:27.92\00:17:30.58
And then you just bake it.
00:17:30.61\00:17:33.34
You told me the
temperature, I think?
00:17:33.35\00:17:34.76
Did you tell me the temperature?
If you did, I forgot.
00:17:34.79\00:17:36.78
No, it's already baked.
00:17:36.81\00:17:38.05
But you said that you
could put it in the oven.
00:17:38.06\00:17:39.60
Just on broil which
takes a few seconds.
00:17:39.63\00:17:42.51
Just a few seconds
to just toast the top.
00:17:42.52\00:17:46.50
But the potatoes
are already cooked.
00:17:46.53\00:17:49.18
So they're ready to eat.
00:17:49.21\00:17:50.72
How's that for quick?
00:17:51.93\00:17:53.15
That's quick.
That's quick and marvelous.
00:17:53.16\00:17:55.58
Marvelous. That's right.
00:17:55.59\00:17:57.33
Now do you do this with
the kids in your school?
00:17:58.35\00:18:01.14
Do they come in and get to
work in the kitchen with you?
00:18:01.17\00:18:02.81
Oh, yes they do.
00:18:02.85\00:18:04.11
And this semester we're starting
a full-fledged cooking class
00:18:04.14\00:18:07.60
for the whole school. Cool!
00:18:07.63\00:18:08.60
Even the little ones.
00:18:08.61\00:18:10.51
Their teacher will be
taking them into the kitchen.
00:18:10.54\00:18:13.09
We bought aprons so they
are going to be real cooks.
00:18:13.12\00:18:17.08
Are they matching aprons?
00:18:17.11\00:18:18.59
Well-by grade.
00:18:18.62\00:18:21.88
Aw, that's real cute.
00:18:21.91\00:18:23.28
They get to get in and work.
00:18:23.29\00:18:25.28
They love this type of food.
00:18:25.31\00:18:29.11
Most of them
don't get it at home.
00:18:29.14\00:18:32.67
So they're learning.
Their parents are learning.
00:18:32.70\00:18:34.39
So changes are being made.
00:18:34.42\00:18:36.00
And that's what it is all about.
00:18:36.03\00:18:37.41
And sometimes it
takes us gradual steps.
00:18:37.44\00:18:39.76
It does.
00:18:39.79\00:18:40.76
You can't come from "A"
all the way to "Z" at once.
00:18:40.77\00:18:42.70
Right.
00:18:42.71\00:18:43.96
And God leads us
little bit by little bit.
00:18:43.99\00:18:45.58
Doesn't He!
00:18:45.61\00:18:46.58
OK, we're making
some sort of dessert.
00:18:48.48\00:18:49.99
Isn't that right? Yes. Good.
00:18:50.02\00:18:51.56
Well, do you want to
read that recipe for us.
00:18:51.59\00:18:54.70
This is really neat
because, instead of a fruit pie,
00:19:18.57\00:19:21.15
we're having a vegetable pie.
00:19:21.18\00:19:22.15
Vegetable pie. I like that.
00:19:22.16\00:19:24.73
I'm familiar
with sweet potato pie
00:19:24.76\00:19:26.41
but you're putting
carrots in it as well.
00:19:26.44\00:19:27.91
Mixing in carrots.
That's a new twist.
00:19:27.92\00:19:32.19
And it works.
And it's marvelous.
00:19:32.22\00:19:34.11
It's marvelous. All
right, first of all,
00:19:34.14\00:19:37.25
we're going to
take our sweet potatoes
00:19:37.26\00:19:39.48
We bake them.
00:19:39.51\00:19:40.48
You see that?
00:19:40.49\00:19:41.69
That is natural syrup
from the sweet potato.
00:19:41.72\00:19:44.78
We just mash that a little bit.
00:19:44.81\00:19:46.98
Oh, it smells
good. I can smell that.
00:19:47.01\00:19:49.72
And you notice how red they are?
00:19:49.73\00:19:51.60
That means they're sweet.
00:19:51.61\00:19:53.47
And we've already
pureed our carrots
00:19:55.78\00:19:58.34
with part of our coconut milk.
00:19:58.38\00:20:00.45
We steamed them and
then put them in the blender
00:20:00.48\00:20:05.14
with a little coconut
milk to get them ready.
00:20:05.17\00:20:07.85
You anticipated my question.
00:20:07.88\00:20:09.47
That is just what
I was going to ask.
00:20:09.50\00:20:11.95
So, these are nice and mashed.
00:20:11.98\00:20:16.93
So, what we're going to do
now is put our coconut milk
00:20:16.96\00:20:20.73
in our pot.
00:20:20.76\00:20:21.73
Then we want to just
heat it a little bit.
00:20:21.74\00:20:24.53
And then we are going to
add our ingredients and stir it.
00:20:24.56\00:20:27.30
Then we add our maple syrup.
00:20:28.97\00:20:31.21
I love maple syrup.
It's a good sweetener.
00:20:32.01\00:20:34.46
Oh, yes. Good flavor, too.
00:20:34.49\00:20:36.28
And then we'll put
this right here on the heat
00:20:36.31\00:20:39.17
because we want to blend it.
00:20:39.88\00:20:42.01
We will add our vanilla.
00:20:42.04\00:20:44.12
And add a bit of salt.
00:20:46.57\00:20:49.73
It's going to be a yummy pie!
00:20:51.59\00:20:53.41
And then a bit of coriander.
00:20:53.44\00:20:55.57
Good.
00:20:55.60\00:20:56.57
And then we'll put
our potatoes in here.
00:21:02.61\00:21:05.85
Oh, Ok. It goes in there.
00:21:05.86\00:21:08.05
It goes in the pot.
00:21:08.08\00:21:09.39
Do you have to wait
till it comes to a boil
00:21:10.46\00:21:11.89
before you put it
in the pot or not?
00:21:11.92\00:21:13.03
No. You just
want it nice and warm.
00:21:13.06\00:21:15.40
That's very nice because
it is like a nice gravy thing,
00:21:20.72\00:21:25.92
you know what I'm
saying, but sweet.
00:21:25.93\00:21:27.14
Oh, very good.
00:21:27.17\00:21:28.14
And then, you can
just cook this down.
00:21:28.15\00:21:31.63
And it gets thicker.
We'll turn it up a bit.
00:21:31.66\00:21:34.97
How long would you cook it for?
00:21:35.00\00:21:36.58
Probably about ten
minutes because it will thicken.
00:21:36.61\00:21:40.04
And you add your carrots.
00:21:40.07\00:21:43.51
And that was the carrots that we
blended with the coconut milk.
00:21:44.35\00:21:46.41
This is the puree.
00:21:46.44\00:21:48.32
That's a nice color, isn't it?
00:21:50.51\00:21:52.94
Very good color.
That's beta-carotene.
00:21:52.97\00:21:55.67
You never had a
carrot pie, I take it?
00:21:55.71\00:21:58.73
No, I haven't! So
this is new for me.
00:21:58.76\00:22:01.27
All right. Then we
want to mix the potatoes
00:22:02.33\00:22:04.92
along with the carrots
00:22:04.95\00:22:07.41
and make a nice
smooth, creamy mixture.
00:22:08.29\00:22:11.39
And, as they
cook, thoroughly blend.
00:22:12.23\00:22:14.85
And, that will come...
you don't want it to burn
00:22:16.73\00:22:18.86
so you want to
keep an eye on it,
00:22:18.89\00:22:21.32
and stir it, and
then you can turn it down
00:22:21.35\00:22:24.00
And you will notice that
it will start to thicken.
00:22:24.03\00:22:26.89
And, as it thickens,
then that will keep you
00:22:26.92\00:22:31.87
from having to
add any thickener.
00:22:31.90\00:22:33.68
Oh, Ok. So you just keep cooking
00:22:33.71\00:22:36.58
till it thickens.
00:22:36.61\00:22:37.75
Until it thickens enough
for you because, once it cools,
00:22:37.78\00:22:40.29
it will gel and
it will become firm.
00:22:40.32\00:22:42.91
So you let it cool.
00:22:42.94\00:22:44.08
And then you put
it in a refrigerator
00:22:44.11\00:22:45.91
and let it chill until it sets.
00:22:45.92\00:22:49.32
So we don't bake it at all.
00:22:49.36\00:22:50.33
That's pretty
easy. I can handle it.
00:22:50.34\00:22:54.06
No bake. You put it
in a pre-baked crust.
00:22:54.09\00:22:56.98
Whole wheat or
graham cracker crust.
00:22:56.99\00:23:01.36
So, as this
continues, the more it cooks,
00:23:01.39\00:23:07.63
then the more the
flavors are mixing.
00:23:07.66\00:23:11.72
I'm thinking, you don't
add any cornstarch or flour
00:23:11.73\00:23:14.13
or anything to thicken it.
00:23:14.16\00:23:15.15
Because it has
potato starch in it.
00:23:15.18\00:23:17.51
You're right. There you go.
00:23:17.54\00:23:20.02
That's the
difference, I guess. Right.
00:23:20.05\00:23:21.69
So you don't have to add any.
00:23:21.72\00:23:23.50
Ok, you see it? It's
beginning to thicken.
00:23:24.44\00:23:26.93
It sure smells good!
00:23:26.96\00:23:29.62
Woo! I can really smell that!
00:23:29.65\00:23:31.95
All righty. Very nice.
00:23:31.98\00:23:34.14
Normally, you do it
about ten minutes or so?
00:23:34.89\00:23:36.26
Yes, about ten minutes.
00:23:36.29\00:23:37.61
We'll pretend ten minutes is
done and put it in the crust.
00:23:37.64\00:23:39.80
How's that? Yeah, I'm good.
00:23:39.83\00:23:41.72
Ok, let's put it in. Alright.
00:23:41.75\00:23:43.22
Turn this off.
00:23:43.25\00:23:45.33
You got it? Got it.
00:23:51.15\00:23:53.13
Oh, doesn't that look good!
00:23:54.52\00:23:56.27
And, here's another way
to hide your vegetables.
00:23:58.25\00:24:00.28
We were talking
about hiding vegetables.
00:24:00.31\00:24:01.55
It's a little sweet way, I guess
00:24:01.58\00:24:03.40
but they're
still in there, right?
00:24:03.43\00:24:04.55
Yes, they're in.
00:24:04.58\00:24:05.55
Carrots and sweet
potatoes are sure in there.
00:24:05.56\00:24:06.98
And, then you let it
set up in the fridge.
00:24:08.63\00:24:10.66
And it's a nice blend.
00:24:10.69\00:24:12.62
And you eat it.
00:24:12.65\00:24:13.86
That's the best part.
00:24:13.87\00:24:15.92
That's the part
everybody waits for.
00:24:15.95\00:24:17.98
Absolutely.
00:24:18.01\00:24:19.30
Boy, doesn't that look good.
00:24:20.63\00:24:22.41
And you're finished.
00:24:23.08\00:24:24.05
Yep. You're
finished with the whole pie.
00:24:24.06\00:24:26.20
That's easy.
There's nothing else to do.
00:24:26.23\00:24:27.53
And you can garnish these
with nuts or shredded coconut.
00:24:27.56\00:24:32.32
Whatever you like.
00:24:32.35\00:24:33.32
Good. There are nuts.
Well, thanks for coming today.
00:24:33.33\00:24:35.84

00:26:45.55\00:26:49.70
Welcome back friends. We

00:26:55.92\00:26:58.56
Our quick, easy supper.
00:26:58.59\00:26:59.63
Let's look at
what we made today.
00:26:59.66\00:27:01.92
We start off with the burgers.
00:27:01.95\00:27:04.85
The sausage
patties. That's right.
00:27:04.88\00:27:08.32
Oh, they look good
and they smell good.
00:27:08.35\00:27:10.41
Do the smell a
little bit like sausage?
00:27:10.44\00:27:12.11
I think so. Absolutely!
You did a marvelous job.
00:27:12.14\00:27:14.54
Well, thank you, thank
you. Now the green pea salad.
00:27:14.55\00:27:16.36
Yes. The garden salad.
00:27:16.39\00:27:18.32
That's right. With
the green peas. Very nice.
00:27:18.35\00:27:20.57
And the mashed potatoes.
00:27:20.60\00:27:21.69
Yes, with the skins.
00:27:21.72\00:27:23.35
Yep. Very good.
With the coconut milk.
00:27:23.38\00:27:26.41
I've never tried that.
That's a new twist for me.
00:27:26.44\00:27:28.69
With a creamy texture.
00:27:28.72\00:27:30.63
And, then, we go over to
the carrot-sweet potato pie.
00:27:30.66\00:27:34.71
Delicious! Oh, yes!
00:27:34.74\00:27:37.42
I can't wait to try that.
00:27:37.45\00:27:39.24
That's right.
00:27:41.16\00:27:42.13
With all these almonds,
it looks kind of cute, too.
00:27:42.14\00:27:44.36
Oh, yes. The
decorations are nice, too.
00:27:44.39\00:27:46.52
And, you know, the blend
gives such a nice mild flavor.
00:27:46.55\00:27:50.31
That's right. Good.
00:27:50.32\00:27:51.29
Well, friends, our time
