Ready to go on a
trip, have you ever gone
00:00:01.98\00:00:02.95
to the Bahamas?
Well, we're gonna preparing
00:00:02.96\00:00:04.99
a Bahamian feast,
are you ready, standby?
00:00:05.00\00:00:08.89
I'm so glad that
you're with us and we're going
00:00:39.64\00:00:42.07
to learn together
about the Bahamas.
00:00:42.08\00:00:44.57
So, we're gonna
make some special dishes,
00:00:44.58\00:00:46.82
and for this we
have a special guest,
00:00:46.83\00:00:48.97
and this person
is Marlene McKinney.
00:00:48.98\00:00:52.00
Hello. Welcome? Thank you.
00:00:52.53\00:00:54.43
I'm so exciting
you're in the kitchen again.
00:00:54.44\00:00:56.15
Yes, I'm excited
too. I've never been to,
00:00:56.53\00:00:59.71
to Bahamas, so
I'm looking forward
00:00:59.72\00:01:01.64
to learning and
preparing some dishes that
00:01:01.65\00:01:04.84
you guys prepare over there.
00:01:04.85\00:01:06.33
Well, let me tell
you Macaroni & Cheese,
00:01:06.61\00:01:09.02
is one of our
favorites, okay, and you just
00:01:09.03\00:01:11.66
can't resist this recipe, okay.
00:01:11.67\00:01:15.09
Macaroni & Cheese,
so such a common name
00:01:15.10\00:01:17.82
here in the United
States, but you have special
00:01:17.83\00:01:20.37
way of preparing
it over in Bahamas.
00:01:20.38\00:01:22.35
Of course, of
course, very good, we do,
00:01:22.36\00:01:24.09
we really do it.
And when I decided
00:01:24.10\00:01:27.39
to become vegan, yeah, I had to
00:01:27.40\00:01:30.08
make it Bahamian, you know,
00:01:30.09\00:01:31.77
because of course
we were used to using
00:01:31.78\00:01:33.68
the regular
cheese, so now we're using
00:01:33.69\00:01:35.52
the cashew
cheese, I prepare the same
00:01:35.53\00:01:37.62
way I do it at home in Bahamans.
00:01:37.63\00:01:39.22
Just wonderful,
improvising in terms
00:01:39.23\00:01:41.87
of putting the different
cheese recipe in there,
00:01:41.88\00:01:44.16
exactly, exactly.
Well, I'm definitely ready to
00:01:44.17\00:01:47.84
start this
recipe. How about if we
00:01:47.85\00:01:50.68
just share it with
our viewers and where they
00:01:50.69\00:01:52.55
can read it along with us?
00:01:52.56\00:01:53.81
Sure, okay then lets go to
00:01:53.82\00:01:55.65
this first recipe.
And for this recipe
00:01:55.66\00:01:58.21
we're gonna need some
cashew cheese? Of course.
00:01:58.22\00:02:01.10
And these are the
ingredients we need for
00:03:18.74\00:03:20.49
this Bahamian feast, yes, right.
00:03:20.50\00:03:22.31
The macaroni, for the Bahamian
00:03:22.32\00:03:24.29
Macaroni & Cheese
I like to call it.
00:03:24.30\00:03:25.96
Exactly, exactly,
okay, so what are we
00:03:26.05\00:03:28.07
gonna do first?
Well, I'm gonna put
00:03:28.08\00:03:29.41
my pot back on top
of the stove, okay.
00:03:29.42\00:03:31.93
Then I boil my macaroni usually,
00:03:32.15\00:03:34.64
I tend to like
to leave some of my
00:03:35.57\00:03:37.54
water in there,
okay. You know there is
00:03:37.55\00:03:40.11
flavor there, exactly,
and there are nutrients
00:03:40.12\00:03:42.50
there too, okay, so I
like to save a little.
00:03:42.51\00:03:44.92
So, I'm going to
allow you to probably do
00:03:44.93\00:03:49.40
the cheese sauce,
okay, while I dump
00:03:49.41\00:03:50.99
these in that and I
don't know if you want to do
00:03:51.00\00:03:52.33
both or else do
one at a time but
00:03:52.34\00:03:54.47
its very simple,
that's a thing about it,
00:03:54.48\00:03:57.53
okay, okay. Let's do the
00:03:57.54\00:03:58.51
cheese sauce
first. It sounds good,
00:03:58.52\00:04:00.04
okay, okay. Our cheese
00:04:00.05\00:04:01.33
sauce we're
gonna put our cashews,
00:04:01.34\00:04:02.73
yes, and our sesame seeds, yes,
00:04:02.74\00:04:05.26
and there is a
little water already
00:04:07.08\00:04:09.14
in our blender,
yes, we can cover it
00:04:09.15\00:04:10.73
and we can blend, very good.
00:04:10.74\00:04:12.92
So we're gonna
make it tasty, yes.
00:04:14.16\00:04:16.68
Oh! We need some more water.
00:04:18.29\00:04:19.37
It doesn't blend. Now you can go
00:05:01.30\00:05:03.26
ahead and add all the other
00:05:03.27\00:05:04.31
ingredients including
the rest of the water.
00:05:04.32\00:05:06.21
Oh! The key thing
here is that you want to
00:05:06.22\00:05:08.10
make sure that
your cashews and your
00:05:08.11\00:05:09.75
sesame seeds are well
blended because I don't
00:05:09.76\00:05:12.39
want chunks of cashew
in my Macaroni & Cheese,
00:05:12.40\00:05:14.60
I just don't. I agree with you.
00:05:14.61\00:05:15.82
I don't mind the
flavor, but I don't want
00:05:15.83\00:05:16.93
chunks of cashew, I
don't know about you.
00:05:16.94\00:05:18.41
I want nice and smooth.
00:05:18.42\00:05:19.39
So, we're just
gonna dump everything else
00:05:19.40\00:05:20.62
in there along with
the water and hopefully it
00:05:20.63\00:05:22.77
will blend, okay,
yeah, that's quite a bit
00:05:22.78\00:05:26.84
but for time sake,
you just blend it all,
00:05:26.85\00:05:29.92
and that should do a good job.
00:05:29.93\00:05:31.24
Okay, okay there we
go, little bit of noise.
00:05:31.25\00:05:34.06
I'm gonna have
to clean the sides.
00:05:53.44\00:05:54.99
Oh! Here we go.
00:05:56.09\00:05:57.30
Very good, you want to
00:06:00.80\00:06:02.33
make sure you do
that at home too because
00:06:02.34\00:06:04.15
sometimes the yeast
flakes and the flour
00:06:04.16\00:06:05.83
kinds of tend to a
stick it up along the
00:06:05.84\00:06:09.16
sides of the, yeah, blender.
00:06:09.17\00:06:11.19
Okay, now that our
cheese sauce is ready,
00:06:27.27\00:06:29.18
I'll put my pot
back on top of the stove,
00:06:29.96\00:06:31.94
we're gonna add
our coconut milk.
00:06:32.41\00:06:35.35
A friend of mine
say girl you've to cook
00:06:36.45\00:06:37.72
with coconut
milk, this gives flavor.
00:06:37.73\00:06:40.04
Now, we just dump
there again, okay,
00:06:40.81\00:06:42.61
all the onions and
celery and sweet peppers and
00:06:42.62\00:06:46.97
you just dump, dump, dump,
00:06:46.98\00:06:49.09
is our vege sal,
our cayenne pepper.
00:06:50.03\00:06:53.22
I love cayenne pepper,
00:06:53.23\00:06:54.20
a little Italian seasoning, yes.
00:06:54.88\00:06:57.77
We've a little oil,
and we didn't need both,
00:06:58.69\00:07:03.00
but since as they are both here,
00:07:03.01\00:07:04.06
we'll use both the
Italian and we have some
00:07:04.07\00:07:07.10
sauce balance, okay. Okay,
00:07:07.11\00:07:10.08
so this is ketchup is
it? Yes, a little ketchup
00:07:10.09\00:07:13.21
adds greats flavor
and a little color.
00:07:13.22\00:07:15.43
And I like to
make my own usually,
00:07:16.58\00:07:18.06
and then we can
add our cheese sauce.
00:07:18.07\00:07:20.41
We'll go ahead and add it now?
00:07:20.42\00:07:21.81
Yes, that's it. Oh!
Okay, wow! It smells so good.
00:07:21.82\00:07:26.30
Yes, it is smelling
really good in here.
00:07:26.61\00:07:29.29
Wish you can smell this guys,
00:07:29.60\00:07:30.99
I wish you were
here. We don't want you
00:07:31.00\00:07:33.33
to just smell it, we
want you to taste it.
00:07:33.34\00:07:34.76
Alright, I will
take care of that.
00:07:34.77\00:07:36.78
Okay, and then what I would
00:07:38.79\00:07:39.76
normally allow to do,
00:07:39.77\00:07:40.74
I cook it on top
of the stove for about
00:07:40.75\00:07:42.24
10 minutes, yes,
allow to the flour,
00:07:42.25\00:07:45.55
simmer, yeah, to
simmer just a little, yeah.
00:07:45.56\00:07:48.32
And then I will put
it in my baking pan and
00:07:48.33\00:07:50.80
I bake it for about 40 minutes,
00:07:50.81\00:07:53.17
350 degrees and
usually I sprinkle with
00:07:53.18\00:07:56.37
the paprika to give
a little adding color,
00:07:56.38\00:07:58.40
but this is the basic idea.
00:07:58.41\00:08:00.17
How long do you bake it for?
00:08:00.18\00:08:01.21
About 40, 40 to 45 minutes,
00:08:01.22\00:08:03.36
okay very good. And you know,
00:08:03.37\00:08:05.32
the thing is it, it hardly burn,
00:08:05.33\00:08:06.80
so even if you
forget it there for an hour,
00:08:06.81\00:08:08.34
you are still,
you're safe to go.
00:08:08.35\00:08:10.01
This a safe, safe recipe.
00:08:10.42\00:08:12.20
It is, and it's very delicious,
00:08:12.21\00:08:13.43
as a matter of fact,
the noodles we're using
00:08:13.44\00:08:14.76
today are made from
Jerusalem artichoke,
00:08:14.77\00:08:16.62
and you know,
artichoke is good for
00:08:16.63\00:08:17.63
cleansing the
liver. Oh! Yeah, yes,
00:08:17.64\00:08:19.89
so this is really a
tasty dish to everyone I have
00:08:19.90\00:08:22.35
introduced it
to really enjoy it.
00:08:22.36\00:08:24.50
And I know that
you will do at home.
00:08:24.51\00:08:27.17
Amen, that's good. Okay,
00:08:27.18\00:08:29.41
well I think we're ready
to go to the next recipe.
00:08:29.42\00:08:31.66
Yes, we are, yes. Okay,
00:08:31.67\00:08:32.87
are you guys ready?
00:08:32.88\00:08:34.02
Well, get your paper ready,
00:08:34.03\00:08:35.84
this is what we're gonna make.
00:08:35.85\00:08:37.13
For our Gluten Roast, we have:
00:08:37.96\00:08:39.82
Okay, we're ready to
share this recipe with
00:09:18.01\00:09:20.40
you all those steps
I'm gonna learn along as
00:09:20.41\00:09:23.48
Marlene is telling us
what to do step-by-step.
00:09:23.49\00:09:26.25
Okay, well we're going
to do the blending first,
00:09:26.72\00:09:29.15
okay. This recipe
comes in three parts and
00:09:29.16\00:09:30.94
I don't want to
confuse you at home.
00:09:30.95\00:09:32.55
I hope that you'll
follow us as much as you can.
00:09:32.56\00:09:34.92
Okay, so we put the oatmeal.
00:09:34.93\00:09:39.90
Okay, so we're
gonna put the oatmeal
00:09:39.91\00:09:42.15
in the blender. I
put, just dump the walnuts,
00:09:42.16\00:09:44.91
the walnuts. I
like these recipes,
00:09:44.92\00:09:47.04
the garlic,
garlic, the onion, onion,
00:09:47.05\00:09:50.13
then we put our
oil and our soy sauce,
00:09:50.14\00:09:55.15
soy sauce. And then we add
00:09:55.16\00:09:57.34
1/4 cup of the water,
you can put one initially
00:09:57.35\00:10:00.51
and then you know,
depends on sometimes
00:10:00.52\00:10:02.88
its just varies
how much water we need,
00:10:02.89\00:10:05.48
but you definitely
don't need more than a
00:10:05.49\00:10:07.20
cup and half of water.
00:10:07.21\00:10:08.30
Alright, well I
should add slowly.
00:10:08.31\00:10:10.56
Yeah, add slowly to
make sure that it blends
00:10:10.57\00:10:12.27
nice and smooth, there you go,
00:10:12.28\00:10:13.82
you don't want, there are some
00:10:13.83\00:10:14.80
chunks of onion, walnuts,
and onions in our roast,
00:10:14.81\00:10:18.93
you want it to be smooth, okay.
00:10:18.94\00:10:20.61
You think that's smooth enough.
00:10:46.75\00:10:48.21
Yes, now you can
add a little more water,
00:10:48.22\00:10:50.26
add more water, just a little,
00:10:50.27\00:10:51.75
I mean we can
reserve the rest for later.
00:10:51.76\00:10:53.85
Beautiful, nice and smooth,
00:11:06.01\00:11:08.54
you can check it
to see if it's smooth.
00:11:08.55\00:11:10.16
Okay, very
good, very good, yeah,
00:11:11.88\00:11:15.87
we just have to
let it blend a little
00:11:15.88\00:11:18.58
longer at home. Yes, yes,
00:11:18.59\00:11:20.37
definitely because
we want to make sure
00:11:20.38\00:11:22.63
that there are no
chunks of cashews or,
00:11:22.64\00:11:25.02
sorry walnut sorry you know,
00:11:25.03\00:11:27.75
garlic in there, okay, okay.
00:11:27.76\00:11:29.10
So, that's the
first part of our recipe.
00:11:29.31\00:11:31.00
Okay, alright, and then we
00:11:31.01\00:11:32.52
take our dry, okay, a
gluten flour, alright.
00:11:32.53\00:11:35.62
Okay, we put that
in our mixing bowl,
00:11:35.63\00:11:38.56
we add our yeast
flakes, we add 2 tablespoons,
00:11:38.57\00:11:45.97
now remember we
have 2 tablespoons
00:11:45.98\00:11:48.39
and we have 4 tablespoons, okay,
00:11:48.40\00:11:50.05
you're gonna put the 2
tablespoons in the dry,
00:11:50.06\00:11:52.68
with the gluten
flour, and our Italian
00:11:52.69\00:11:54.39
seasoning,
okay. And if you have,
00:11:54.40\00:11:56.62
you can put the dash of cayenne,
00:11:56.63\00:11:58.17
I love the cayenne.
You just want to mix
00:11:58.18\00:11:59.67
this together first
because the gluten flour
00:11:59.68\00:12:02.09
takes no time to
combine this very
00:12:02.10\00:12:06.47
quick you know. Okay, okay,
00:12:06.48\00:12:12.75
now you can pour that in there,
00:12:12.76\00:12:13.99
this is really quick and easy,
00:12:14.00\00:12:15.75
really, really,
really, really quick and easy,
00:12:15.76\00:12:18.14
we can mix it. Some people like
00:12:18.15\00:12:21.81
to get their hands
in there it's up to you.
00:12:21.82\00:12:23.90
I'm one I like the
spoon. Now, I tell you may
00:12:23.91\00:12:29.20
want to put our hands in there,
00:12:29.21\00:12:30.18
it's up to you, but I, I, yeah,
00:12:30.19\00:12:32.13
I prefer to use the spoon first,
00:12:32.14\00:12:33.66
and then okay, I'll
use a little water, okay,
00:12:33.67\00:12:40.64
up using all of
it. Would you like for
00:12:45.29\00:12:47.77
me to pour more?
Yes, add the rest of it,
00:12:47.78\00:12:50.37
I guess you end up using all,
00:12:50.38\00:12:51.63
just some times
it varies you know,
00:12:51.64\00:12:54.11
alright very good.
Now, I'm going to get
00:12:54.12\00:12:58.15
my hands all in there.
Now, I get during today.
00:12:58.16\00:13:01.44
Alright, let me going
to just. Oh! It's, okay.
00:13:01.45\00:13:05.01
Well, it's good to get dirty.
00:13:05.78\00:13:06.77
Its fun, what I like
about gluten flour it
00:13:06.78\00:13:08.67
hardly sticks to your
hand like that you know,
00:13:08.68\00:13:10.16
we just want to make sure that
00:13:11.33\00:13:12.57
it's all in there.
00:13:12.58\00:13:13.93
Now, gluten flour is
mostly protein and it's,
00:13:14.93\00:13:20.42
but however it's
not a complete protein.
00:13:20.43\00:13:22.48
Oh! It just not, it's
not, it's lacking in lyzyme,
00:13:22.49\00:13:25.82
so once you combine
this within the other
00:13:26.59\00:13:28.46
food like legume,
yes, be sure to have.
00:13:28.47\00:13:32.19
Okay, that's the
basic idea, okay.
00:13:32.20\00:13:35.46
You needing it
like bread kind of.
00:13:35.74\00:13:37.22
Ideally it will be
great, if you can set this
00:13:37.57\00:13:40.02
recipe aside, and let it sit,
00:13:40.03\00:13:42.85
and let it sit
for, you can even let
00:13:42.86\00:13:45.25
it sit over
night, it's up to you,
00:13:45.26\00:13:46.49
but you know, if you know we
00:13:46.50\00:13:47.95
don't have time for that today,
00:13:47.96\00:13:49.16
so, okay so once
the dough is made and
00:13:50.20\00:13:53.54
you'll let it rest for sometime.
00:13:53.55\00:13:55.77
Even if it's
just 10 minutes, okay,
00:13:56.05\00:13:57.79
even if its just for ten minute.
00:13:57.80\00:13:58.91
Okay let it rest for 10 minutes.
00:13:58.92\00:13:59.89
And so, I
eventually do what with that?
00:14:00.15\00:14:02.48
Well, we're going to
use our crock pot okay.
00:14:02.49\00:14:05.03
Okay, so in my crock
pot I have 4 cups of water,
00:14:05.04\00:14:08.30
okay. And then we're
going to add to the water
00:14:08.31\00:14:10.65
4 tablespoons of
chicken style seasoning,
00:14:10.66\00:14:13.98
okay, that's our
broth. Go ahead and add it?
00:14:13.99\00:14:16.02
Yes, you can go
ahead and add it and make
00:14:16.03\00:14:17.96
sure it's
dissolve; you can use the
00:14:17.97\00:14:19.50
spoon and some
spoon there, okay,
00:14:19.51\00:14:21.95
and then this is
simple, isn't it very simple?
00:14:21.96\00:14:27.11
Yeah, okay, okay,
it's already dissolved,
00:14:27.86\00:14:30.01
and we're going to
put this in the water.
00:14:30.43\00:14:31.80
And that's it.
And I like it, wow!
00:14:31.81\00:14:34.55
I like to mash it down, okay.
00:14:34.56\00:14:36.28
I don't like picking
out, no picking toms,
00:14:36.29\00:14:38.50
no picking, okay,
and you can allow it to.
00:14:38.51\00:14:43.18
So, we turn it on
high-low, how long?
00:14:45.00\00:14:47.48
I'm going to tell you, okay.
00:14:47.49\00:14:48.46
Low, you put it,
and you cover it,
00:14:48.47\00:14:50.24
put it on low for six hours,
00:14:50.25\00:14:52.37
for six hours,
six hours, okay. So,
00:14:52.38\00:14:54.47
this is a great
mom's recipe because here
00:14:54.48\00:14:56.56
again you can put it
on while you got to sleep.
00:14:56.57\00:14:58.76
That's right, tomorrow
morning you have a meal,
00:14:58.91\00:15:01.20
okay, that's
right. The crock pot is
00:15:01.21\00:15:02.86
my friend; I love the
00:15:02.87\00:15:04.36
crock pot, okay. And so,
00:15:04.37\00:15:05.68
you just cover and
you allow it to cook for
00:15:05.69\00:15:08.70
six hours and
they can cook longer,
00:15:08.71\00:15:10.48
it's just to me the six hours,
00:15:10.49\00:15:11.78
it taste really
nice, it's very meat
00:15:11.79\00:15:15.47
like flavor. I've a friend
00:15:15.48\00:15:17.16
in the Bahamas, yes you know
00:15:17.17\00:15:18.68
she says, this
is seasoned flour.
00:15:18.69\00:15:20.54
Seasoned flour,
and she, she says,
00:15:22.64\00:15:24.87
what are we cooking?
I said, I don't know,
00:15:24.88\00:15:27.02
but you may as
well cook some of that
00:15:27.03\00:15:28.28
seasoned flour,
you always talk about.
00:15:28.29\00:15:30.01
And she makes this
every Sabbath for her, really,
00:15:30.48\00:15:33.22
yes every Sabbath
and they come there
00:15:33.23\00:15:34.70
and they said,
wow! This is amazing.
00:15:34.71\00:15:36.04
What did you put in
there? Gluten flour, oh! Yeah.
00:15:36.05\00:15:38.88
And they came out that meat,
00:15:38.89\00:15:39.86
so you cook it
for six hours and then
00:15:39.87\00:15:41.16
when I take it out.
I like to slice it up
00:15:41.17\00:15:43.32
and I fry a little bit
just brown a little on,
00:15:43.33\00:15:45.95
okay, in, you know into skate.
00:15:45.96\00:15:46.93
Like, like steak,
exactly like steak or you know
00:15:46.94\00:15:50.57
that kind of thing,
and it's really delicious.
00:15:50.58\00:15:52.70
My family totally
enjoys this roast.
00:15:52.75\00:15:55.82
This is so fast you
know, because sometimes we
00:15:55.83\00:15:56.89
have the way I
used to do it was with
00:15:56.90\00:15:59.20
the open part.
You've to boil it,
00:15:59.21\00:16:01.43
you've to watched the pot, okay,
00:16:01.44\00:16:02.60
because it was gonna over flow,
00:16:02.61\00:16:04.08
but this way you can
just prepare it at night,
00:16:04.09\00:16:06.70
go to bed and it
will be ready for you
00:16:06.71\00:16:08.63
in the morning.
That's right, that's right.
00:16:08.64\00:16:10.47
You know, if we
have time to say,
00:16:10.48\00:16:12.17
this same recipe, yeah,
00:16:12.18\00:16:13.87
you can take the same recipe,
00:16:13.88\00:16:14.95
make small
patties, okay, get a pot
00:16:14.96\00:16:17.87
use your steam
basket, wrap in foil and you
00:16:17.88\00:16:21.86
can have patties.
Oh! Well or sausages,
00:16:21.87\00:16:24.18
15 minutes of
steaming, that's all. Oh! Wow.
00:16:24.19\00:16:26.59
On top of the
stove. Amazing, you know,
00:16:26.60\00:16:28.48
so much that we can
do at home just a matter
00:16:28.49\00:16:30.63
of time I know,
exactly for a many people.
00:16:30.64\00:16:32.48
And people like you to
give us some good ideas,
00:16:32.49\00:16:34.87
so we can put them
into practice at home.
00:16:34.88\00:16:37.18
Yes, yes. How about if
we go to the next recipe?
00:16:37.19\00:16:39.53
Sure, are you ready?
Yes, are you guys ready.
00:16:39.54\00:16:42.09
Well, get ready.
Our next recipe is,
00:16:42.10\00:16:44.88
Tofu Cheese Cake. Like I said,
00:16:44.89\00:16:47.11
every meal ends on a
sweet note. So, we have:
00:16:47.12\00:16:50.02
Okay, Marlene
let's make this delicious
00:17:25.00\00:17:27.08
cheese cake, yes,
I love cheese cake.
00:17:27.09\00:17:29.19
Oh! You do, and that was one
00:17:29.20\00:17:30.64
of my favorite
desserts, when I became vegan,
00:17:30.65\00:17:32.52
I'm like how am I
going to replace cheese cake.
00:17:32.53\00:17:34.55
Exactly, I don't know
if we can ever replace
00:17:34.56\00:17:35.53
cheese cake,
but we're gonna try.
00:17:35.54\00:17:36.63
Okay, but this is
really good. I, I like it.
00:17:36.95\00:17:39.37
I like it hot; I
don't like it cold, really.
00:17:39.38\00:17:42.07
Yeah, I preferred
right out of the oven;
00:17:42.08\00:17:44.14
just it is really
good to me that way.
00:17:44.15\00:17:46.78
But this recipe is easy, okay.
00:17:47.20\00:17:49.09
I think all recipes
are basically easy for me,
00:17:49.10\00:17:52.30
it's just dump, blend,
go, okay, that's right,
00:17:52.31\00:17:55.43
that's what we're doing. So,
00:17:55.44\00:17:56.41
we're gonna dumped,
so we're blending again.
00:17:56.42\00:17:58.31
So, you need a blender at home,
00:17:58.90\00:18:00.05
if you don't have one
then you're gonna have
00:18:00.06\00:18:02.13
to purchase one, okay. Yes,
00:18:02.14\00:18:03.70
so we're putting our
honey and that's a lot
00:18:03.71\00:18:06.56
of honey, honey. Well,
00:18:06.57\00:18:08.68
tofu doesn't have
any flavor either,
00:18:08.69\00:18:10.71
no taste; it's a most versatile
00:18:10.72\00:18:12.12
food in the world,
yes, because it takes
00:18:12.13\00:18:13.64
whatever flavor you
choose to add to it,
00:18:13.65\00:18:15.63
that's why I like most about it,
00:18:15.64\00:18:17.65
you know, that's a vanilla,
00:18:17.66\00:18:19.58
that's a great plus.
So, we have our vanilla,
00:18:19.59\00:18:22.47
we've our oil, and putting our
00:18:22.48\00:18:25.30
lemon juice, the lemon juice.
00:18:25.31\00:18:27.70
The lemon juice is a
must; it really helps to cut
00:18:27.71\00:18:31.00
the taste of
the tofu. We add our
00:18:31.01\00:18:33.04
turbinado sugar, we add our egg
00:18:33.95\00:18:37.03
which is our flour,
flour, no cholesterol here,
00:18:37.04\00:18:40.69
it's a cholesterol free kitchen.
00:18:40.70\00:18:41.88
What a blessing? Praise God,
00:18:41.89\00:18:43.64
and of course we've
a little pinch of salt
00:18:43.65\00:18:46.08
because the salt
brings out the flavor,
00:18:46.09\00:18:47.53
that's right. And then you
00:18:47.54\00:18:48.51
can blend it and add your tofu,
00:18:48.52\00:18:50.19
if you chose. Okay,
so easy. Let's blend it.
00:18:50.20\00:18:53.34
And you can add whatever type of
00:18:53.35\00:18:54.67
topping you want, that's good.
00:18:54.68\00:18:56.10
Okay, then you
can add your tofu.
00:19:09.60\00:19:10.93
Now, this is silken,
Mori-Nu Silken Tofu, yes.
00:19:10.94\00:19:14.26
There are different
types of tofu I think
00:19:14.27\00:19:15.64
we all know
that, but this one you
00:19:15.65\00:19:18.04
can purchase; I guess at
00:19:18.05\00:19:19.50
any of the health food stores.
00:19:19.51\00:19:20.84
And it's you can use to firm,
00:19:21.24\00:19:24.67
you can use to soft;
it does not matter, okay.
00:19:24.68\00:19:27.10
This firm extra firm
is soft because it doesn't
00:19:27.11\00:19:29.45
make a
difference. Whatever you have
00:19:29.46\00:19:30.43
in the refrigerator?
Whatever you have, okay,
00:19:30.44\00:19:31.96
you will make a trip
to those store just for.
00:19:31.97\00:19:33.95
No, no, okay, but
it's a silken style
00:19:33.96\00:19:36.27
that's
important, you don't want to
00:19:36.28\00:19:38.08
use the curby, the one that's
00:19:38.09\00:19:40.11
very scrambled, the water based.
00:19:40.12\00:19:41.17
Yes, okay, here we go.
00:19:41.18\00:19:42.67
That's creamy to
me, there you go.
00:20:17.48\00:20:18.81
And then you simply
pour into your graham
00:20:19.55\00:20:22.58
cracker crust or
if you want to make
00:20:22.59\00:20:23.84
your own crust, it's up to you,
00:20:23.85\00:20:25.49
you know, we want to
00:20:25.50\00:20:27.47
just make it
easy for everyone as
00:20:27.48\00:20:29.89
far as possible.
Okay, so go ahead and put.
00:20:29.90\00:20:31.93
You can check it
to make sure it's nice
00:20:32.21\00:20:33.65
and smooth, but I think
00:20:33.66\00:20:34.63
it looks pretty good to me.
00:20:34.64\00:20:35.68
Oh! Yeah, it is, look at it.
00:20:35.69\00:20:37.04
And, it's, looks
like baby food you know,
00:20:37.05\00:20:39.81
you can eat it just
like that if you want.
00:20:39.82\00:20:41.18
Oh! It's very
tempting right now.
00:20:41.19\00:20:42.73
You can just make
a nice parfait out
00:20:42.74\00:20:44.99
of that you know,
add your fruit and
00:20:45.00\00:20:46.74
your granola, yes but thus
00:20:46.75\00:20:48.41
further you know,
we got to bake it.
00:20:48.42\00:20:49.55
You're gonna bake it to them.
00:20:49.56\00:20:50.53
Okay, we'll make the cheese.
00:20:50.54\00:20:51.51
We did add some
flour; we don't want to
00:20:51.52\00:20:52.67
eat the flour raw.
Okay, so go ahead and pour,
00:20:52.68\00:20:54.66
you can pour it in, alright,
00:20:54.67\00:20:55.90
and you're going
to bake this for about
00:20:57.66\00:20:59.86
45 minutes at 350 degrees.
00:20:59.87\00:21:03.84
Okay, I think it
seems like everything
00:21:03.85\00:21:05.73
at 350 degrees. How do you come
00:21:05.74\00:21:07.54
up with these recipes?
You know trial and error,
00:21:07.55\00:21:12.01
I be honest now, oh! I'm so glad
00:21:12.42\00:21:13.66
you said that. When I first did
00:21:13.67\00:21:15.42
this cheese cake,
yeah, I didn't eat
00:21:15.43\00:21:17.36
it at all; I told my husband
00:21:17.37\00:21:19.28
you're the guinea
pig. I said, go ahead
00:21:19.29\00:21:21.76
and try it and let me know.
00:21:21.77\00:21:22.74
And he said,
you've to try it first,
00:21:22.75\00:21:25.74
and I won't try it. So, really,
00:21:25.75\00:21:27.83
they ate it, my children and
00:21:27.84\00:21:29.95
my husband they enjoyed it,
00:21:29.96\00:21:31.04
and I never got
any of the first one.
00:21:31.05\00:21:33.41
And then I made the
second one and I did
00:21:33.99\00:21:35.50
the same thing
with my macaroni too,
00:21:35.51\00:21:36.93
I didn't try any thing
for like a week or two,
00:21:36.94\00:21:39.14
I said no, I don't think I
00:21:39.15\00:21:40.76
want to try it and I'm serious.
00:21:40.77\00:21:41.97
As I said, no.
Wow! I'm not the one
00:21:41.98\00:21:44.08
who want to try things.
00:21:44.09\00:21:45.06
Okay, I'm really shy
of trying things, yes.
00:21:45.47\00:21:47.49
You know, so I, I made
them take it and eat it.
00:21:47.50\00:21:50.81
And he says, I like it hot.
00:21:50.82\00:21:51.79
And I like it hot
too, I don't like cold.
00:21:52.59\00:21:54.23
You took his recommendation.
00:21:54.24\00:21:55.52
Yes, and so we can
bake that and it get
00:21:55.53\00:21:57.82
nice and brown. Okay, so then
00:21:57.83\00:21:59.13
we're going to do our topping.
00:21:59.14\00:22:00.26
Okay, now do I bake this first?
00:22:00.66\00:22:02.60
Yes, of course,
okay, leave by all means,
00:22:02.61\00:22:04.85
let's take it
away. Okay, so bake it
00:22:04.86\00:22:07.75
at 350 for how long?
00:22:07.76\00:22:09.12
350 degrees for 45 minutes,
00:22:09.13\00:22:11.43
45 minutes, 45 minutes.
00:22:11.44\00:22:13.02
Well, that's been, and
then I allow it to cool a
00:22:13.03\00:22:15.15
little before
adding the topping.
00:22:15.16\00:22:16.44
Okay, okay. So, you just to
00:22:16.45\00:22:18.21
save confusion,
let's move it away.
00:22:18.22\00:22:20.37
Okay, alright.
Pretend it's not there,
00:22:20.38\00:22:22.44
okay. Alright,
so then our topping,
00:22:22.45\00:22:25.12
yes, here again is your choice.
00:22:25.13\00:22:26.73
I hope I'm turning it right.
00:22:27.36\00:22:28.33
Yes, its right, I want to tight.
00:22:28.34\00:22:30.12
Okay, there again
it's your choices to what
00:22:30.13\00:22:32.46
toping you want,
okay. I like pineapple,
00:22:32.47\00:22:34.45
I love crushed
pineapple, so I'm gonna add a
00:22:35.10\00:22:37.52
little more pineapple juice,
00:22:37.53\00:22:38.73
yes. Okay, okay
and then I'm going to
00:22:39.18\00:22:42.98
add my cornstarch.
Okay, I hope that we
00:22:42.99\00:22:46.35
get it all
dissolved in there, okay,
00:22:46.36\00:22:49.43
before it lumps up. Okay,
00:22:49.44\00:22:52.31
look at that the cornstarch is
00:22:54.19\00:22:56.19
a good thickener, a
good basic ingredient.
00:22:56.20\00:22:59.54
And we almost got that in there.
00:22:59.55\00:23:00.56
Oh! I'm sorry. You
can use cornstarch,
00:23:00.57\00:23:02.00
you can also use, there we go.
00:23:02.01\00:23:06.49
Egg powder you can use.
00:23:06.50\00:23:09.39
Well, I think
that cornstarch is very
00:23:11.21\00:23:12.55
inexpensive and,
very inexpensive,
00:23:12.56\00:23:15.37
this clear gel.
There is a lot of
00:23:15.38\00:23:17.05
things that will
be in the market.
00:23:17.06\00:23:18.19
Okay, okay. So, we're gonna.
00:23:18.20\00:23:19.65
Well, it's easy
to find you know,
00:23:19.66\00:23:20.97
I like things
that are easy to find.
00:23:21.57\00:23:23.04
I don't like to
send people you know
00:23:23.32\00:23:25.19
people to call him hunt.
00:23:25.20\00:23:27.73
Yeah, they come on and know,
00:23:27.74\00:23:29.65
yeah send them
on a treasure hunt.
00:23:29.66\00:23:30.63
Yes, no I like you
to be able to go into
00:23:30.64\00:23:32.25
the food store, and say you know
00:23:32.26\00:23:33.23
something I can shop
here, right, because there
00:23:33.24\00:23:35.32
are things that you
can purchase there that
00:23:36.72\00:23:37.69
are basically okay.
Okay, alright. You want,
00:23:37.70\00:23:39.24
what's healthy for your family,
00:23:39.25\00:23:40.40
that's true, but you
also want to be a good time,
00:23:40.41\00:23:43.20
okay, manager.
Okay, okay so then
00:23:44.66\00:23:49.08
once this comes to
a boil then I add my
00:23:49.09\00:23:51.27
crushed pineapple. Okay, okay,
00:23:51.28\00:23:52.97
so we're gonna just,
go ahead and pour it in,
00:23:52.98\00:23:55.62
pour it in, and this gets
00:23:55.63\00:23:58.49
nice and thick.
Oh! Yeah, looks good.
00:23:58.50\00:24:02.02
And you don't need
added sugar because the
00:24:02.03\00:24:03.47
crushed pineapple
comes already sweetened as
00:24:03.48\00:24:05.76
you know whatever you want.
00:24:05.77\00:24:07.09
It's better come to a boil,
00:24:07.28\00:24:08.25
it's really
delicious. And of course you'll
00:24:08.26\00:24:10.63
constantly stir it
because if you don't then you
00:24:10.64\00:24:12.48
get little lumps in
there, alright. Okay,
00:24:12.49\00:24:15.30
so once I already
bake my cheese cake,
00:24:15.31\00:24:17.86
it's already cool
for about 30 minutes,
00:24:17.87\00:24:20.40
right? Yes, and
then I make sure that the
00:24:20.41\00:24:22.94
topping is cold, yes,
right and that's when I,
00:24:22.95\00:24:26.21
make sure the pie is cool, okay,
00:24:26.22\00:24:28.15
and then you want the
topping to be cool too.
00:24:28.16\00:24:29.68
Alright, yeah you
don't want it to be hot.
00:24:29.69\00:24:31.31
Okay, very good,
as it will sweat.
00:24:31.32\00:24:33.22
Well, very
good. And then you can
00:24:34.62\00:24:36.20
eat it warm, room temperature or
00:24:36.21\00:24:38.17
you can eat it
cold, it's up to you.
00:24:38.18\00:24:39.53
I have a question for you too,
00:24:39.54\00:24:40.51
is this in your
cookbook? Yes, it is. It is?
00:24:40.52\00:24:42.47
Yes, most
definitely. Oh! Wonderful,
00:24:42.48\00:24:44.54
I'm sure there are
lot of sweet recipes
00:24:44.55\00:24:46.75
in your cook book.
Yes, because I used
00:24:46.76\00:24:48.40
to be a sweet tooth person.
00:24:48.41\00:24:50.44
Oh! You did, oh confession time.
00:24:50.45\00:24:53.19
Yes, I had, I had a problem,
00:24:53.20\00:24:54.17
I loved sugar.
Really? Yes, okay,
00:24:54.18\00:24:56.64
I think I was addicted to sugar.
00:24:56.65\00:24:57.85
Oh! Then. And so,
00:24:57.86\00:24:58.98
I really thought
every meal really should end
00:24:58.99\00:25:01.13
on a sweet note,
and then I gave it up,
00:25:01.14\00:25:03.06
and then I went back on it,
00:25:03.07\00:25:04.46
then I gave it up,
and now I'm at a point
00:25:04.47\00:25:06.16
where I can have a
little and I'm okay.
00:25:06.17\00:25:07.88
Why didn't you give it up?
00:25:07.89\00:25:08.86
Weight issues, you know,
00:25:08.87\00:25:10.21
I used to be 220
pounds, and wore size 20
00:25:10.22\00:25:12.90
and I just needed to
make some adjustments.
00:25:12.91\00:25:15.73
You used to weigh 220 pounds.
00:25:15.74\00:25:17.79
Yes, 220 pounds, wore size 22,
00:25:17.80\00:25:20.74
I'm being honest
that's the truth.
00:25:21.40\00:25:22.92
And I just know,
I knew I had to make
00:25:22.93\00:25:25.78
some changes, so
that was one that
00:25:25.79\00:25:27.60
I got rid of it.
Wow! But I can have
00:25:27.61\00:25:29.88
a little now and I'm
okay. Hat's off to you,
00:25:29.89\00:25:31.53
what a woman, yes.
You're right I just
00:25:31.54\00:25:34.07
knew that God wanted
my body to be healthy,
00:25:34.08\00:25:36.40
Amen. And He
wanted me to just make
00:25:36.41\00:25:38.68
some adjustment. Well,
I still have that hope.
00:25:38.69\00:25:40.82
There is hope
sister, there is hope,
00:25:41.53\00:25:43.12
of course, yes you know it all.
00:25:43.13\00:25:46.88
He, He just wants us to
live a long healthy life,
00:25:46.89\00:25:50.82
Amen. And that one of
my favorite texts it says
00:25:50.83\00:25:54.47
that I wish above
all things that you
00:25:54.48\00:25:56.23
may prosper and be
in good health I add
00:25:56.24\00:25:58.55
even as your soul prospers.
00:25:58.56\00:26:00.75
Amen, that's right.
So, we must claim those
00:26:00.76\00:26:02.63
promises found
in the word of God.
00:26:02.64\00:26:04.23
That's right. Well,
thank you so much for
00:26:04.24\00:26:06.37
sharing that and
we're gonna get to
00:26:06.38\00:26:07.98
know you more as
time goes by and you tape
00:26:07.99\00:26:10.67
other programs.
So, praise the Lord
00:26:10.68\00:26:12.70
He is brought you thus far.
00:26:12.71\00:26:13.84
Thank you, Amen, Amen.
00:26:13.85\00:26:15.40
Well, all to His
glory, Amen. That's right,
00:26:15.41\00:26:17.97
oh! This smells good.
I think you need to mix
00:26:17.98\00:26:20.16
this a little
bit, but I think in the
00:26:20.17\00:26:22.19
mean time we should
take our little break.
00:26:22.20\00:26:24.38
What do you think? Sure, okay.
00:26:24.39\00:26:26.14
Well, friends we will
be right back standby.
00:26:26.36\00:26:30.04
