Have you ever wanted
to travel, but you didn't
00:00:01.40\00:00:02.81
quite have the money
you needed to make the
00:00:02.96\00:00:04.35
trip. Today we're
going to sample some
00:00:04.38\00:00:06.74
delicious cuisine from
a beautiful island in the
00:00:06.77\00:00:10.14
Caribbean. So, stay with us.
00:00:10.17\00:00:12.10
Hello friends and
welcome to another program
00:00:43.01\00:00:44.77
of Let's Cook
Together. I am your host Jill
00:00:44.80\00:00:47.52
Morikone and we
have an exciting program
00:00:47.65\00:00:49.91
planned for you
today from that beautiful
00:00:49.94\00:00:52.52
island in the
Caribbean, and we will hear
00:00:52.55\00:00:54.29
about that in just
moment. First I want to
00:00:54.32\00:00:56.53
introduce you to my
special guest. Her name
00:00:56.56\00:00:58.71
is Marlene
McKinney, and she comes to us
00:00:58.74\00:01:01.03
from Upstate New
York. Welcome Marlene,
00:01:01.06\00:01:03.20
we're so glad to
have you here with us.
00:01:03.23\00:01:05.00
Oh! I am happy to
be here, 3ABN is my
00:01:05.27\00:01:07.20
favorite channel and I
would get to come here,
00:01:07.23\00:01:09.44
this is like a
dream come true. Yes
00:01:09.48\00:01:11.70
Honestly it is.
Well, Praise God!
00:01:11.73\00:01:13.50
We are just so
happy to have you here.
00:01:13.53\00:01:15.55
You know Marlene is a good cook.
00:01:16.13\00:01:17.61
Your food is good, I
mean we enjoy it, we've
00:01:19.22\00:01:20.95
been enjoying her
food here. Her food is good
00:01:20.98\00:01:23.24
and she is a nutritionist,
and sharing good tips
00:01:23.27\00:01:25.33
with us. So I'm real
excited about the program
00:01:25.36\00:01:27.30
today. Thank you.
00:01:27.33\00:01:28.70
What island are we going to?
00:01:28.73\00:01:30.10
You are going to
Nassau, Bahamas. Okay.
00:01:30.27\00:01:33.65
Have you been
there. I have never been.
00:01:33.72\00:01:35.25
We are going to take you there.
00:01:35.64\00:01:37.01
That's right, I want to go.
00:01:37.04\00:01:38.41
What are you waiting
on? 3ABN needs to give
00:01:38.44\00:01:40.09
you a trip down
there. That's right.
00:01:40.12\00:01:41.49
I will work on that. Okay.
00:01:42.55\00:01:44.40
I will get to my
people and my people get to
00:01:44.44\00:01:46.14
your people. That sounds good.
00:01:46.17\00:01:47.88
Yes, we got to work on that.
00:01:48.26\00:01:49.63
Tell me about your
ministry, first of all
00:01:49.98\00:01:51.35
before we cook
this Bahamian food.
00:01:51.38\00:01:53.06
Well, I am
McKinney's oven, and we started
00:01:53.09\00:01:55.34
in the Bahamas about
eight years ago with our
00:01:55.40\00:01:58.71
cooking schools
and seminars and doing
00:01:58.80\00:02:01.82
preaching engagements,
what ever it takes you
00:02:01.85\00:02:03.58
know just to get the
message out there and
00:02:03.61\00:02:06.19
now we are in New
York, and we travel still
00:02:06.22\00:02:08.73
wherever the Lord
carries us. Amen. I am very
00:02:08.76\00:02:11.57
open to his leading
and wherever he takes me
00:02:11.60\00:02:14.05
I go. Yes. And so we
try to do our cooking
00:02:14.08\00:02:17.12
schools, because you
know the Bible says that
00:02:17.15\00:02:18.96
we should feed the
people you know where
00:02:19.08\00:02:20.86
ever Jesus met with
his disciples, whenever he
00:02:20.89\00:02:24.57
met with the people,
he was always concerned
00:02:24.60\00:02:26.41
about feeding the
people. That's right. He says
00:02:26.44\00:02:28.07
taste and see
that the Lord is good.
00:02:28.27\00:02:29.88
Amen. I love that Bible verse.
00:02:29.91\00:02:32.64
You know we want
to taste the food, you
00:02:32.67\00:02:34.04
know the thing is
we go, you can preach,
00:02:34.07\00:02:35.44
you can teach, but
people still want to know
00:02:35.47\00:02:36.84
how does the food
taste. That's right.
00:02:37.23\00:02:38.99
So if you can win
them by way of the taste of
00:02:39.12\00:02:41.22
the food, then I think
you have them for a life
00:02:41.25\00:02:44.41
time. And to me to
think too Marlene is if you
00:02:44.44\00:02:46.28
have a clear mind you
are able to hear Jesus
00:02:46.31\00:02:48.29
voice speaking to you.
That's the whole point.
00:02:48.32\00:02:50.04
That's the whole
point. That's the whole point.
00:02:50.07\00:02:51.44
You want to be able
to hear he is speaking.
00:02:52.03\00:02:54.10
Amen. And how
the, you know the Holy
00:02:54.39\00:02:55.96
Spirit speaking to us.
And to know where he is
00:02:55.99\00:02:59.02
leading. That's right.
That's right. Otherwise
00:02:59.27\00:03:00.64
we are just driftwood
and we don't want to be
00:03:00.74\00:03:04.94
drifting, wavering.
That's right. We want to
00:03:04.97\00:03:07.45
know and be certain
it's voice that we're
00:03:07.48\00:03:10.39
hearing. That's right.
00:03:10.42\00:03:12.28
And no one else's. So
that's my ministry, that's
00:03:12.94\00:03:14.31
what we do. One of
my favorite quotes from
00:03:14.34\00:03:16.12
Spirit of Prophecy
Counsels on Diet and
00:03:16.50\00:03:18.92
Foods Page 20 says "of
all temporal positions,
00:03:18.95\00:03:23.00
health is the most
precious." Oh! Amen.
00:03:23.75\00:03:28.38
Wealth, learning
and honor are dearly
00:03:28.41\00:03:31.18
purchased at the loss
of health. And you know
00:03:31.28\00:03:33.68
what folks none of
them can secure your
00:03:33.71\00:03:36.51
happiness when health
is lacking. That's right.
00:03:36.70\00:03:39.11
I know so many people
Jill. Honestly I do and
00:03:39.29\00:03:41.64
tears can come to
my eyes just sharing.
00:03:41.67\00:03:43.63
Yes. All the people
I've come in contact with
00:03:44.08\00:03:45.96
over the years who
have been so sick, and you
00:03:46.16\00:03:49.96
know they say wow
how can I get better.
00:03:49.99\00:03:52.69
Marlene, I took my
health for granted, I took
00:03:53.99\00:03:56.07
two jobs, I worked
morning and went to
00:03:56.10\00:03:57.94
school in the
evenings, I burnt myself out,
00:03:57.97\00:03:59.91
and if I have to do it
all over again, I would
00:04:00.33\00:04:02.44
never do it that
way. And so I take this
00:04:02.47\00:04:04.85
opportunity to speak
to the people. Let them
00:04:04.88\00:04:07.46
know you need to take
your health seriously.
00:04:07.49\00:04:09.79
Amen. Don't take it
for granted. Health comes
00:04:10.06\00:04:13.26
by choice, not by
chance. So if you can just
00:04:13.48\00:04:17.06
take a moment, ask
the Lord to lead you,
00:04:17.93\00:04:20.73
ask him to show
you where he would want
00:04:21.20\00:04:23.00
you to go, and these
are simple recipes, simple
00:04:23.03\00:04:26.31
tips we have been
sharing and I hope that you
00:04:26.34\00:04:28.81
just embrace
them. Amen. And you know
00:04:29.02\00:04:31.23
share them with your
family, share them with
00:04:32.19\00:04:33.58
your friends, and
just enjoy them too of
00:04:33.61\00:04:35.92
course, enjoy them.
So we are kitchen wise
00:04:35.95\00:04:41.74
and it is easy, it's Bahamian,
00:04:41.77\00:04:43.68
its native to me. I love that.
00:04:43.71\00:04:45.32
So we carried our
recipes with us to New
00:04:47.78\00:04:49.59
York of course. We don't
leave them in the Bahamas.
00:04:49.62\00:04:51.60
That's right. Okay,
and now they're going over
00:04:51.79\00:04:53.29
the world, so you can
enjoy these recipes at
00:04:53.32\00:04:55.23
home too. Let's read
our first recipe here.
00:04:55.26\00:04:58.31
For the Baked Peas
and Rice you need two
00:04:59.47\00:05:01.38
cups brown rice;
three quarter of a medium
00:05:01.41\00:05:04.75
onion, chopped; one
half cup green pepper,
00:05:04.95\00:05:07.87
chopped; one
stalk celery, chopped;
00:05:07.90\00:05:10.75
two teaspoons tomato
paste; two tablespoons
00:05:11.41\00:05:14.68
tomato sauce; one teaspoon salt;
00:05:14.94\00:05:17.98
two teaspoons
chicken style seasoning;
00:05:18.89\00:05:20.99
two teaspoons thyme
leaves; four cups water;
00:05:21.66\00:05:24.83
three quarter cup
kidney beans or any peas,
00:05:25.65\00:05:28.13
and one tablespoon olive oil.
00:05:28.63\00:05:30.88
That looks awesome. And simple.
00:05:33.06\00:05:34.99
Yes. And this tradition to all.
00:05:35.29\00:05:38.01
Yes, the only
difference for me anyway is that
00:05:38.51\00:05:41.64
I would prefer to
have pigeon peas. Okay.
00:05:41.67\00:05:43.89
And I could not find
them here. In Thompsonville
00:05:44.31\00:05:47.17
I couldn't find
them, but if you are in
00:05:47.31\00:05:51.23
home you can find
them you know use the
00:05:51.26\00:05:53.99
pigeon peas in
place of the kidney beans,
00:05:54.02\00:05:55.70
it's your choice. If
kidney beans are good,
00:05:55.81\00:05:57.63
they are
beautiful anyhow. They are,
00:05:58.13\00:05:59.50
they're pretty.
They're so pretty. But the
00:05:59.53\00:06:02.08
pigeon peas would be
my favorite. Yes. Okay,
00:06:02.29\00:06:04.67
usually we cook it on
top of the stove, but I
00:06:06.18\00:06:08.15
am trying to
teach moms and dads and
00:06:08.18\00:06:10.07
whoever, how they can
just utilize their time
00:06:10.65\00:06:12.98
wisely, and to use our times.
00:06:13.31\00:06:15.16
We are busy. Yes, we are busy,
00:06:15.19\00:06:16.65
we are working. Some
of us too working too
00:06:16.68\00:06:18.94
hard. So you can just
pop everything into the
00:06:18.97\00:06:21.05
oven. Perfect.
00:06:21.08\00:06:23.12
You know, I think we
can put peas and rice in
00:06:23.15\00:06:24.52
the oven, or beans
and rice in the oven,
00:06:24.55\00:06:25.99
or we don't call it
rice and peas. In Jamaica
00:06:26.02\00:06:28.35
they call it rice and
peas; we call it peas and
00:06:28.48\00:06:30.80
rice. Okay.
00:06:31.77\00:06:33.14
'Cause we want it
to be equal. We want as
00:06:33.17\00:06:35.52
many beans as rice,
that's what I think that's
00:06:35.84\00:06:37.68
the idea. Okay.
00:06:37.71\00:06:39.11
So, it's easy. Good.
You know and we love it.
00:06:39.68\00:06:43.50
Good. We got a big pan here.
00:06:43.53\00:06:45.30
Yes. Well, lets use the
water first. Let me tell
00:06:45.43\00:06:47.83
you what you're
gonna do with your water.
00:06:47.86\00:06:49.23
Slide that over. Alright.
00:06:50.26\00:06:51.70
So we're gonna
let Joe get all messy.
00:06:51.74\00:06:53.71
That's right. I gotta
work again huh. She wants
00:06:53.74\00:06:55.24
me to work. I will help you.
00:06:55.27\00:06:56.93
You want this here.
We are going to put all
00:06:57.45\00:06:58.82
of our liquids
together. Okay. We put our oil,
00:06:58.85\00:07:02.44
we have our tomato
sauce. Good. And the
00:07:03.47\00:07:05.92
only reason I am
putting it is because the
00:07:05.95\00:07:07.32
tomato paste
sometimes even so you may have
00:07:07.35\00:07:09.09
to pour a little of
that in there. You know what
00:07:09.28\00:07:10.90
why don't you pour
some of your water in
00:07:10.97\00:07:12.34
there, then utilize just
a little of the water left
00:07:12.37\00:07:14.74
into your dish. Yeah.
Let's put the salt in there
00:07:14.77\00:07:19.19
first. Okay. Hold
on. Okay, if I were
00:07:19.22\00:07:24.47
suspended in space.
Alright, now you can pour
00:07:24.86\00:07:27.15
most of it in. Okay.
00:07:27.18\00:07:28.55
Now we added the salt
and the chicken seasoning.
00:07:28.58\00:07:29.95
Yes, salt and
chicken style oil and water,
00:07:30.07\00:07:32.65
and you can reserve a
little of it so we can
00:07:33.21\00:07:34.87
dissolve our tomato
paste because the tomato
00:07:34.90\00:07:36.73
paste is a little
thicker, that's good, but what
00:07:36.76\00:07:38.94
happens is you don't
want pieces of tomato
00:07:38.97\00:07:40.62
paste in your pigeon
rice, you want it to be all
00:07:40.65\00:07:42.37
dissolved. That
doesn't sound too good.
00:07:42.40\00:07:43.77
No, at all. I can use
the wisk. You can use the
00:07:43.85\00:07:46.22
wisk. Yes. Oh! Yeah.
00:07:46.25\00:07:50.64
That's much better.
Yes. And of course we are
00:07:51.78\00:07:54.82
using brown rice, you
can use wild rice, it's all
00:07:54.85\00:07:57.67
your choice, but we
don't want white rice.
00:07:57.70\00:08:00.44
Yes. Okay. We
use Basmati or not.
00:08:00.89\00:08:02.93
Yes, that's good,
that's good too, very tasty,
00:08:03.23\00:08:06.02
and very healthy for us. Okay.
00:08:08.96\00:08:12.86
Okay. So we pour
that in there. All right.
00:08:12.89\00:08:14.85
Good, beautiful, now
you can dump your rice,
00:08:18.53\00:08:19.90
what ever think we can
cook. I know. Isn't that
00:08:20.78\00:08:22.40
awesome? I like
that. You put your beans.
00:08:22.43\00:08:25.00
Kidney beans. And
you know the water
00:08:25.03\00:08:27.61
from the beans I
am using the water.
00:08:27.64\00:08:29.32
I saw that. And the water,
00:08:29.50\00:08:30.87
you see that all adds
up, I should mention that.
00:08:30.90\00:08:32.68
The water from the
bean, this is the tomato
00:08:33.37\00:08:38.23
sauce, the tomato
paste and the oil,
00:08:38.26\00:08:39.89
it makes up that
four cups of water.
00:08:40.49\00:08:42.22
Okay. So we should be careful
00:08:42.49\00:08:44.11
to add in all of the
liquids together. So that
00:08:44.14\00:08:46.86
you don't have more
than sufficient, you don't
00:08:46.89\00:08:48.35
want more than.
Right, that makes sense.
00:08:48.38\00:08:49.78
Otherwise it becomes
a little soggy, just a
00:08:50.61\00:08:53.17
little, you don't call
it soggy in the Bahamas,
00:08:53.20\00:08:55.33
you call it
friendly. Oh friendly.
00:08:55.36\00:08:56.88
Yes, friendly,
because it sticks together.
00:08:57.16\00:08:58.64
Friend. Friend.
Friend, like we're friends,
00:08:58.67\00:09:02.11
the rice gets
friendly, they're sticky,
00:09:02.70\00:09:04.79
they're sticky you know
it, but they don't taste
00:09:07.08\00:09:09.14
so bad, it's just that
it's too sticky. You want
00:09:09.17\00:09:12.42
the friends to be
close, you don't want them to
00:09:12.45\00:09:13.82
be too close, hello,
alright so. And that's the
00:09:13.85\00:09:17.92
idea. And then where
is my foil, I guess we
00:09:17.95\00:09:20.70
left it in the kitchen,
but the idea is and that
00:09:20.73\00:09:23.62
looks good, that
looks really good.
00:09:23.65\00:09:26.06
It does. And then we cover with
00:09:26.09\00:09:27.75
foil or you put it the
casserole dish preferable,
00:09:27.97\00:09:30.86
because I don't like to
use the foil, that's not
00:09:31.06\00:09:32.43
my preference, but you
cover it nice and tight.
00:09:32.46\00:09:35.74
Yes. And you are
going to bake it for two
00:09:35.87\00:09:37.76
hours. For two hours,
good. That's two hours,
00:09:37.79\00:09:40.03
once it's finished you
fluff, serve and that's it.
00:09:40.06\00:09:43.80
I am sure, I am
positive your family is going
00:09:43.83\00:09:46.82
to enjoy it,
because my family does.
00:09:46.85\00:09:49.38
And you will never
know that its baked,
00:09:50.13\00:09:51.50
it comes out just
as fluffy as though you
00:09:51.53\00:09:53.13
baked it on the
top of the stove.
00:09:53.16\00:09:55.05
We did at 350. 350 degrees.
00:09:56.70\00:09:58.95
Okay, the magic
number. You know this is a
00:09:58.98\00:10:01.14
complete meal,
you know that right.
00:10:01.17\00:10:02.54
You know people this
is a, 'cause its bean and
00:10:02.57\00:10:05.09
rice, it's "legumes
the grain." That's right.
00:10:05.12\00:10:07.72
Now how many of us
will actually just eat
00:10:07.75\00:10:09.21
rice and peas with a salad.
00:10:10.83\00:10:12.59
Right. I don't
know. In the Bahamas,
00:10:12.89\00:10:14.83
but they will tell me
girl, that is not a meal.
00:10:14.86\00:10:17.87
Oh, this isn't a
meal. Oh no. But it is,
00:10:18.33\00:10:21.39
it's a complete,
it's a complete, you
00:10:21.42\00:10:23.12
understand it's a
complete dish because we
00:10:23.15\00:10:24.52
have beans and
we have rice. Right.
00:10:24.55\00:10:25.92
And because of
the combination of the
00:10:26.09\00:10:27.46
legumes and the
grain, it becomes a complete
00:10:27.72\00:10:30.08
protein, it becomes
a complete, it's a meal
00:10:30.23\00:10:32.44
with a salad.
Right, with the salad.
00:10:33.01\00:10:34.38
Put some vegetables
if you choose to stir fry
00:10:34.41\00:10:35.99
whatever. Use some bread too,
00:10:36.02\00:10:37.39
or we don't need that.
You don't even need the
00:10:37.42\00:10:38.79
bread, I mean of
course you can, but you don't
00:10:38.82\00:10:42.11
have to have it
for your complete meal.
00:10:42.14\00:10:43.73
But people think that
they have to have meat,
00:10:43.76\00:10:45.68
so you know may be
we need to talk about
00:10:45.87\00:10:48.45
some meat I don't
know. It's up to you. Yeah.
00:10:48.48\00:10:51.61
Do you think we
should give them some meat?
00:10:51.65\00:10:53.02
No. Yes we can, this
is in place with that and
00:10:53.57\00:10:58.06
God puts the
nutrients in those beans and in
00:10:58.09\00:11:02.04
every vegetables and
everything that we are
00:11:02.16\00:11:04.14
eating, that we
need in our body.
00:11:04.19\00:11:06.13
Beans are great,
lowers the cholesterol,
00:11:07.76\00:11:10.18
you know and we
just can't go wrong.
00:11:11.02\00:11:13.35
There are, some of
the antioxidants found in
00:11:14.05\00:11:17.81
those beans really
stops and reverses cancer
00:11:17.84\00:11:20.73
cells from
growing. Oh come on, now who
00:11:20.76\00:11:23.15
will resist that, I
don't want to resist it.
00:11:23.18\00:11:25.56
That's right, we
got to be eating those.
00:11:25.59\00:11:26.96
You got to be eating
beans, and this is really
00:11:27.86\00:11:29.23
delicious, beside all
of the nutrition stuff I
00:11:29.26\00:11:30.63
know some of us
don't want to hear it,
00:11:30.66\00:11:32.03
it's really good,
it's good, it tastes good.
00:11:32.06\00:11:33.43
Okay, so I hope
you enjoy it at home.
00:11:33.59\00:11:35.06
At the end of the
program here we are going
00:11:36.11\00:11:37.48
to show you what it
looks like all baked off.
00:11:37.51\00:11:39.52
So you got to wait
and stick and around and
00:11:39.78\00:11:41.15
see that. Let's go to
our next recipe. Sure.
00:11:41.18\00:11:45.30
Would you like to
ready that those meatballs
00:11:45.33\00:11:46.70
for us. Of course.
00:11:46.73\00:11:48.10
For our veggie
meatballs, you'll need two cups
00:11:49.83\00:11:51.69
of TVP or textured
vegetable protein beef
00:11:51.72\00:11:54.88
granules; four cups of
water; half cup of oil;
00:11:54.91\00:11:59.45
one cup oats; a
dash of cayenne pepper;
00:12:00.32\00:12:03.25
the juice of one
lemon; two tablespoons of
00:12:04.26\00:12:07.69
flour; half cup of
pecan meal; two tablespoons
00:12:07.76\00:12:11.45
of Bragg's liquid
aminos; three cloves of
00:12:11.62\00:12:14.17
garlic, crushed; one
and half tablespoons of
00:12:14.31\00:12:17.60
beef or chicken style
seasoning; one and half
00:12:17.87\00:12:21.37
cups of bread
crumbs; half cup of onions,
00:12:21.57\00:12:24.11
finely chopped; and
half cup of green peppers,
00:12:24.36\00:12:27.51
finely chopped.
For our barbecue sauce,
00:12:27.54\00:12:31.15
you will need one and
half cup of fresh tomato
00:12:31.18\00:12:34.09
sauce; two
tablespoons of tomato paste;
00:12:34.12\00:12:37.09
a quarter cup of
molasses; one tablespoon of
00:12:37.46\00:12:40.62
honey; and four
teaspoons of soy sauce.
00:12:40.65\00:12:44.36
You also need one
eighth teaspoon of garlic
00:12:45.77\00:12:48.50
powder, one eighth
teaspoon onion powder,
00:12:48.53\00:12:51.47
two teaspoons of
lemon juice, a half teaspoon
00:12:52.00\00:12:55.06
browning sauce,
and a half teaspoon
00:12:55.45\00:12:57.89
of liquid smoke.
00:12:57.92\00:12:59.29
I like this meat ball
recipe because you are
00:13:01.94\00:13:03.31
making your own barbecue sauce.
00:13:03.34\00:13:04.92
Oh yeah, you can't
purchase the one from the
00:13:04.98\00:13:06.97
stores, we can but
there is vinegar in there.
00:13:07.00\00:13:10.46
Right. Vinegar
interferes with the digestion of
00:13:10.97\00:13:13.19
nutrients, vinegar
makes the bones, well I
00:13:13.52\00:13:16.94
wouldn't put a bad
mark on vinegar, its better
00:13:16.97\00:13:19.68
for cleaning. Let's
buy it and clean. Yeah.
00:13:19.73\00:13:23.43
Let's clean with it.
You can buy it, go and buy
00:13:23.46\00:13:25.92
it, but don't internalize
it, use it on the outside,
00:13:25.95\00:13:29.84
on the surface. At
least use the vinegar to
00:13:29.87\00:13:31.88
clean our meats too. Okay.
00:13:31.91\00:13:33.79
But we don't eat
meats anymore right people
00:13:33.82\00:13:35.26
we don't eat meats
anymore. Praise the Lord
00:13:35.55\00:13:37.10
we are meat free.
Okay, so we don't need to be
00:13:37.31\00:13:40.16
doing anything else
except to clean with it,
00:13:40.19\00:13:42.41
but the barbecue
sauce is all natural.
00:13:42.44\00:13:45.24
I like that. My mom says I don't
00:13:45.78\00:13:47.15
like barbecue sauce, I
don't trust it. You can
00:13:47.18\00:13:49.25
trust mine, but she
still won't eat it. She says
00:13:49.28\00:13:54.44
no no. Not too big
on the barbecue sauce.
00:13:54.47\00:13:57.04
So I am hoping that she will.
00:13:57.07\00:13:58.58
Still try it,
that's right. May be we can
00:13:59.19\00:14:00.79
convince her to try it.
Okay, let's look at what
00:14:00.82\00:14:04.51
we do here. Well,
we're going to start
00:14:04.54\00:14:05.91
with our meatball
recipe. The meatball recipe
00:14:05.94\00:14:08.33
calls for the TVP.
Yes, now what's TVP?
00:14:08.36\00:14:12.03
How do you texture another.
00:14:12.34\00:14:13.71
Textured vegetable
protein, and of course it's
00:14:13.86\00:14:19.40
made up of soy
defatted flour. Okay.
00:14:19.43\00:14:21.84
Okay. It's simple. Soy
flour. Soy flour and you
00:14:21.87\00:14:24.59
know what's great
about it they are going to
00:14:24.62\00:14:26.22
take whatever flavor you add.
00:14:26.25\00:14:27.62
Yes. That's
perfect. So we are having a
00:14:28.06\00:14:29.81
meatball style. We
may have it barbeque,
00:14:29.84\00:14:31.89
we may have it
curried or we may have it
00:14:32.05\00:14:34.13
sweet and sour, it's
up to you, it's whatever
00:14:34.63\00:14:36.60
you want. That's the
great thing about soy,
00:14:36.63\00:14:39.68
it's so versatile. It
takes on whatever flavor
00:14:39.86\00:14:43.20
you add. I love that
about soy, and it's good
00:14:43.41\00:14:45.73
for us. Yeah. Okay,
so firstly we take our,
00:14:45.96\00:14:49.33
water you already, we
have our water, right,
00:14:50.58\00:14:52.90
and it's getting a
little hot. Okay. Okay.
00:14:52.95\00:14:54.68
And then I add my granules.
00:14:55.07\00:14:57.68
Yes, now the TVP,
does it come in the health
00:14:57.98\00:15:00.54
food store or the grocery store.
00:15:00.57\00:15:01.94
You can get it
at both. Good. Okay.
00:15:01.97\00:15:03.98
In New York you can,
I don't know about here.
00:15:04.01\00:15:05.69
I should say I'm sorry,
I was too quick to answer
00:15:05.72\00:15:08.28
that question. In most
big cities. In most big cities
00:15:08.31\00:15:10.90
you can of course I don't
live in the city but you can
00:15:10.93\00:15:13.01
still find even in High
Park. I mean I am amazed,
00:15:13.04\00:15:15.71
they go to the food
store, look at this,
00:15:15.74\00:15:18.09
we have TVP, and
I am always excited
00:15:18.12\00:15:20.46
to see the
vegetarian section of the store.
00:15:20.49\00:15:22.12
It doesn't take
too long to rehydrate,
00:15:22.15\00:15:23.92
so long as the
water is hot because they
00:15:23.95\00:15:25.59
are small bits and
pieces, and you always want to
00:15:25.62\00:15:28.43
rehydrate before adding
any salt because the salt
00:15:28.46\00:15:31.85
stops the process, or it
slows it down at the very least.
00:15:31.88\00:15:34.67
I've try adding it after
and I've had difficulties, Okay.
00:15:34.70\00:15:37.70
Now if our friends at
home have never used TVP.
00:15:37.73\00:15:39.61
How would they know
when it is rehydrated.
00:15:39.64\00:15:41.91
It will be soft
and fluffy. Okay.
00:15:41.94\00:15:43.65
Let's show them. Lets
see if we can get some
00:15:43.68\00:15:46.28
of that water off of
there. Let's look here.
00:15:46.31\00:15:49.60
Let's just hold it
there. And it's more chewy too.
00:15:49.63\00:15:51.73
You know when its
not, its dry, really dry
00:15:51.76\00:15:56.70
I won't tell you what I think
it looks like, but its dry,
00:15:56.73\00:15:59.31
but this is
soft. Yes, I like that.
00:15:59.34\00:16:02.02
And you can tell the
difference; of course
00:16:02.05\00:16:04.46
also it was a
darker color when it was,
00:16:04.49\00:16:07.14
and it's lighter. Now
it's lighter. And see how it
00:16:07.17\00:16:10.30
thickens the color,
just made a big difference
00:16:10.33\00:16:12.80
in our pot. Yes.
Then we add oats.
00:16:12.83\00:16:15.68
Is that quick oats, or
the old fashioned rolled oats?
00:16:15.71\00:16:21.06
This is just the
quick oats, or you can take
00:16:21.09\00:16:23.31
the rolled oats, and
guess what, put it in your food
00:16:23.34\00:16:26.13
processor. And cut it down.
00:16:26.16\00:16:27.80
Yes, and the big
pieces don't do so well.
00:16:27.83\00:16:30.11
Yes, yes. And next
we add our bread crumbs.
00:16:30.14\00:16:35.17
Yes. Now there
again, if you're purchasing
00:16:35.20\00:16:37.70
bread crumbs from the
store, you have to be certain
00:16:37.73\00:16:39.48
that it has no
animal products in there.
00:16:39.51\00:16:41.10
A lot of them oh yeah.
You can read the ingredients.
00:16:41.13\00:16:42.58
Oh yeah. Make sure that
it has no milk, and cheese,
00:16:42.61\00:16:46.40
and what I've used in
there has all kinds of stuff.
00:16:46.43\00:16:48.75
People think its all good
stuff just because it says
00:16:48.78\00:16:51.63
it's plain on the package,
that's not necessarily true.
00:16:51.66\00:16:54.49
So, check the label.
I can cut my stove off
00:16:54.52\00:16:56.97
now because I truly
just wanted the oat meal
00:16:57.00\00:17:00.04
to get a little
gelatinous, which is, you know
00:17:00.07\00:17:03.95
the fiber, that's in
there, it's really good.
00:17:03.98\00:17:06.81
I am going to cut my
stove out and I do want
00:17:06.84\00:17:09.81
this to cool a little.
Let's start the barbecue
00:17:09.84\00:17:13.08
sauce while that
cools, how is that.
00:17:13.11\00:17:14.48
That sounds good to
me. And then we can finish
00:17:14.51\00:17:16.45
mixing it. That sounds
good to me. Okay. Switch places.
00:17:16.48\00:17:22.72
What are we doing here? I
am going to allow it to sit,
00:17:22.75\00:17:25.98
all right. How
long does it sit for?
00:17:26.01\00:17:27.84
About five to ten
minutes. Okay. Okay, okay.
00:17:27.87\00:17:31.14
All right, I just turned
off my stove, so I am going
00:17:31.17\00:17:33.58
to need a lighter
again to get our stove going.
00:17:33.61\00:17:37.33
Let's see if I can
get it going. Alright.
00:17:38.63\00:17:40.00
I am not too bad in the kitchen.
00:17:40.03\00:17:41.46
That's right,
she is pretty good.
00:17:41.49\00:17:43.33
All right now the
barbecue sauce is simple,
00:17:43.36\00:17:45.85
we put in our tomato
sauce; everything goes
00:17:45.88\00:17:48.67
in the frying pan. Oh
okay. This one is so easy,
00:17:48.70\00:17:51.51
this takes two
second literally. Okay.
00:17:51.54\00:17:53.50
I will let Joe get
dirty with the tomato sauce
00:17:54.62\00:17:56.55
and the tomato paste,
and the molasses and all that
00:17:56.58\00:17:59.52
good stuff, yes that's
molasses, tomato sauce,
00:17:59.55\00:18:03.90
we have our
tomato paste in there.
00:18:05.30\00:18:07.38
You would use a
smaller spoon at home but
00:18:07.41\00:18:10.26
this is what we got,
so we are going to make
00:18:10.29\00:18:11.76
do with this. I hope we
use a smaller spoon at home.
00:18:11.79\00:18:15.26
There is your honey right.
00:18:15.29\00:18:17.23
Yes, you better have
some honey, just a pinch
00:18:17.26\00:18:19.06
of honey, of course we
want it, honey is good.
00:18:19.09\00:18:21.70
I will mix it while you
get the other stuff. Okay.
00:18:21.73\00:18:24.69
You see the color it's
taking, it's so beautiful,
00:18:24.72\00:18:28.75
Oh yeah, you just
want to mix it all up
00:18:28.78\00:18:32.13
and you know what
the thing about it is,
00:18:32.16\00:18:34.52
you're just
combining the ingredients.
00:18:34.55\00:18:37.65
It doesn't necessarily,
we even have to cook
00:18:37.68\00:18:39.32
Okay. You should
smell this food. It does.
00:18:39.35\00:18:43.26
It smells really good in
here. It smells really good.
00:18:43.29\00:18:46.31
And it tastes
good, I ensure you.
00:18:49.20\00:18:50.57
Oh yeah. I can
smell that Marlene.
00:18:50.60\00:18:52.62
How do you come
up with your recipes?
00:18:52.65\00:18:55.98
Well you know something,
I will be honest a lot of
00:18:56.01\00:18:58.29
them I have not
done on my own. Okay.
00:18:58.32\00:19:00.23
Some of them, a lot of
them I have done on my own,
00:19:00.26\00:19:02.33
of course just trial and error.
00:19:02.36\00:19:03.73
The... is gone. Lots
of error and bloopers
00:19:03.76\00:19:06.88
in the kitchen, I will
show you. That's right.
00:19:06.91\00:19:08.47
As a matter of fact,
I shared with my friends
00:19:08.50\00:19:11.39
that sometimes I didn't
taste my food for a long
00:19:11.42\00:19:14.81
time because I was so
afraid that it didn't taste
00:19:14.84\00:19:16.94
so good. So I let
everybody else in the house
00:19:16.97\00:19:19.25
try it first. It took me
a week or two just to eat
00:19:19.28\00:19:21.80
my own cheese cakes. Yes.
00:19:21.83\00:19:23.92
But my other friend
Edemy and she should
00:19:23.95\00:19:26.38
shared a lot of her
recipes with me over the years.
00:19:26.41\00:19:28.24
That's special. I
had another friend
00:19:28.27\00:19:29.64
Michelle, she
shared some with my mom
00:19:29.67\00:19:31.04
and my sister, we
just exchanged recipes
00:19:31.07\00:19:33.20
and sometimes we
make it out our own,
00:19:33.23\00:19:34.69
because we add your
own little flavor to it.
00:19:34.72\00:19:37.09
And you know what, that's it.
00:19:37.12\00:19:38.69
That's it. Perfect.
That's it. I will let it sit on
00:19:38.72\00:19:42.22
the stove and simmer while
we get back to our meatballs.
00:19:42.25\00:19:46.96
The meatballs. I am
going to bring the meatballs
00:19:46.99\00:19:48.91
on to the. Okay.
Section here. I hope you didn't
00:19:48.94\00:19:52.87
forget that we are
making meatballs people?
00:19:52.90\00:19:54.38
No I didn't forget.
Alright, lets, I like a neat
00:19:54.41\00:19:57.81
environment for
working. Now that it's a little
00:19:57.84\00:19:59.78
cooler and look at that.
00:19:59.81\00:20:01.28
Yes, very nice. It's
the perfect consistency.
00:20:01.31\00:20:05.26
It is. Okay. So we
can add our liquids.
00:20:05.29\00:20:08.41
Liquids first. Let's do the
liquids. I'll stir, yeah you
00:20:08.44\00:20:12.78
stir. And our lemon
juice gives a nice tang,
00:20:12.81\00:20:15.32
we have a little
oil. Yes, that's good.
00:20:15.35\00:20:20.15
Looks like a little
more than I wanted but
00:20:20.18\00:20:21.55
that's fine, my
person who measured probably
00:20:21.58\00:20:23.39
did a little more. We
will have some Bragg's
00:20:23.42\00:20:26.13
liquid Aminos or soy
sauce unfermented preferably.
00:20:26.16\00:20:28.93
Then we have a
dash of cayenne pepper.
00:20:28.96\00:20:32.69
We will give it an old kick.
Alright. I am making noise.
00:20:32.72\00:20:38.20
Okay, let me
have our onions. Yeah.
00:20:38.23\00:20:41.17
And if you
don't want the onions,
00:20:41.20\00:20:42.57
you can use the
onion powder. Yeah.
00:20:42.60\00:20:46.00
You know it's up to
you. You have some colored
00:20:46.03\00:20:47.93
bell peppers, it's so
pretty, you have some garlic.
00:20:47.96\00:20:51.41
And you can use
the garlic powder too.
00:20:51.44\00:20:53.39
Yep, yep, yep, yap, of
course. I think this is some
00:20:53.42\00:20:56.24
added onion or
garlic powder, I am not sure
00:20:56.27\00:20:59.48
which one to be
honest, and then of course
00:20:59.51\00:21:01.55
we have our
chicken style seasoning.
00:21:01.58\00:21:04.28
Let's make sure I
gets all in there.
00:21:04.31\00:21:06.78
Yes. And we add
just a little flour.
00:21:06.81\00:21:10.42
Yes, and does it thicken
it more or does that. Okay.
00:21:10.45\00:21:14.16
Yes. Perfect
thickness. And then pecan meal.
00:21:14.19\00:21:15.88
And with this here,
this here is a pecan meal
00:21:15.91\00:21:19.66
and this gives it that
meaty nuttier lady. Yes.
00:21:19.69\00:21:24.36
now tell me we don't
have time to make them
00:21:24.39\00:21:27.23
into balls, but you
would form them into balls,
00:21:27.26\00:21:28.80
put them on the cookie sheet.
00:21:28.83\00:21:30.20
Yes, allow them to cool. Okay.
00:21:30.23\00:21:31.60
And you get about
seventy five meatballs. Nice.
00:21:31.63\00:21:34.09
Seventy five
meatballs. Bake it at 350.
00:21:34.12\00:21:36.64
Bake it at 350 for
about 25 to 30 minutes,
00:21:36.67\00:21:39.38
at least thirty
minutes. I would say
00:21:39.41\00:21:42.00
No, you bake it
with the barbecue sauce
00:21:42.03\00:21:44.32
on or you put the
barbecue sauce after.
00:21:44.35\00:21:45.72
No, you break it
separate, then you add your
00:21:45.75\00:21:47.12
barbecue sauce. Awesome.
00:21:47.15\00:21:48.52
I don't know if they
can get a look at that.
00:21:48.55\00:21:49.92
It's beautiful. This
is so delicious looking.
00:21:49.95\00:21:51.32
I am ready to get on in there.
00:21:51.35\00:21:53.13
That's right. Now we are
going to go oh there it is.
00:21:53.16\00:21:56.12
I see it its
beautiful, that's really nice.
00:21:56.15\00:21:57.91
Now we're making our cookies.
00:21:57.94\00:21:59.60
Let's read the recipe
for them. For the thumbprint
00:21:59.63\00:22:02.86
cookies, you need two
cups whole wheat flour,
00:22:02.89\00:22:04.77
one cup pecan or almond
flour, one cup cane sugar,
00:22:04.80\00:22:08.96
one cup shredded
coconut, and one half cup oil.
00:22:08.99\00:22:12.34
You also need
two thirds cup water,
00:22:12.37\00:22:15.08
one teaspoon
aluminum free baking powder,
00:22:15.11\00:22:17.41
one teaspoon almond
flavor strawberry jam
00:22:17.44\00:22:20.18
or another jam of your choice.
00:22:20.21\00:22:22.24
We are making dessert
Marlene, I love dessert,
00:22:25.04\00:22:26.61
and this is a healthy dessert.
00:22:26.64\00:22:28.13
Oh yeah and it's
tasty too. It's very tasty.
00:22:28.16\00:22:32.39
That's right, what we do here.
00:22:32.42\00:22:33.79
We have our thumbprint
cookies, and we are going to
00:22:33.82\00:22:35.38
put all of our
ingredients into the bowl.
00:22:35.41\00:22:37.13
I will help you
dump, now have our sugar,
00:22:37.16\00:22:39.42
pecan meal, you can
use pecan or almond meal.
00:22:39.45\00:22:43.39
Okay. Almond meal is good too,
00:22:43.42\00:22:46.06
very good actually it
makes it a lighter cookie.
00:22:46.09\00:22:48.15
That was the flour and
then we had our coconut.
00:22:48.18\00:22:51.49
So then we have a
little salt, and we have our
00:22:53.19\00:22:57.02
baking powder.
You said on the recipe
00:22:57.05\00:22:58.99
aluminum free. Yes, you can get.
00:22:59.02\00:23:01.96
Can you, does it
just say no aluminum or.
00:23:01.99\00:23:04.43
Not really,
sometimes you may get it,
00:23:04.46\00:23:07.48
I think there is one brand
that may say aluminum free.
00:23:07.51\00:23:09.94
Okay. But usually you
would have to read the
00:23:09.97\00:23:12.03
recipe ingredient.
Because otherwise you will be
00:23:12.06\00:23:16.06
purchasing the aluminum right.
00:23:16.09\00:23:17.69
Aluminum we don't
need right. Right.
00:23:17.72\00:23:19.09
We are trying to
avoid as much as possible.
00:23:19.12\00:23:21.12
That's right.
Even though it leads to
00:23:21.15\00:23:22.87
memory loss, and we
want to be able to remember
00:23:22.90\00:23:24.68
who we are, and
where we are going,
00:23:24.71\00:23:26.18
and whom we are talking
to and what I just said.
00:23:26.21\00:23:28.46
That's right. What
did I just say again.
00:23:28.49\00:23:30.21
What are we doing, no I
don't want to be like that.
00:23:30.24\00:23:35.31
That's right. I
don't' want to get old
00:23:35.34\00:23:37.04
and hope the light
comes before that. Amen.
00:23:37.07\00:23:39.56
But we have to promise
no matter what age we are.
00:23:39.59\00:23:41.71
Amen. I know some of
you watching this program
00:23:41.74\00:23:43.41
may be older but
Jesus is with us, no matter
00:23:43.44\00:23:45.57
what age we are.
Amen. And we know
00:23:45.60\00:23:47.04
he is coming back for us.
00:23:47.07\00:23:48.44
Amen, there is a
promise. Book of John,
00:23:48.47\00:23:50.53
I've gone to prepare
a place for you. Amen.
00:23:50.56\00:23:52.75
That's right. So I
am going to that place
00:23:52.78\00:23:54.64
that he is gone to
prepare, that's what I am
00:23:54.67\00:23:56.30
preparing for. You
know sweet; sugar is,
00:23:56.33\00:23:59.72
there are so many
people who are so concerned
00:23:59.75\00:24:03.18
about the sweets. Yes.
00:24:03.21\00:24:04.58
Too much sugar is bad. Right.
00:24:04.61\00:24:07.04
Okay. And we don't
want to eat too much of it,
00:24:07.07\00:24:11.76
just moderately, so if
you are making cookies,
00:24:11.79\00:24:14.68
even though you have a
problem with your weight,
00:24:14.71\00:24:17.03
and you have a
problem with diabetes and
00:24:17.06\00:24:18.67
all this issues,
then just have one cookie,
00:24:18.70\00:24:20.20
have every once a week
or something. You haven't
00:24:20.23\00:24:22.42
everyday, okay.
Just small literally,
00:24:22.45\00:24:25.91
Yes, you can add
your oil, I will mix while
00:24:25.94\00:24:30.56
you do that, add
your water, and I hope we
00:24:30.59\00:24:33.61
have enough water
and we have our almond,
00:24:33.64\00:24:36.11
extracts. Okay. Let's
see how quick we can get it
00:24:36.14\00:24:39.23
all in there.
Nice, it looks good.
00:24:39.26\00:24:42.05
I hope we have enough water.
00:24:42.08\00:24:43.45
We can get a little
more if he need some.
00:24:45.07\00:24:46.70
I think we do. Okay.
00:24:46.73\00:24:48.80
If you think you
need a little water,
00:24:48.83\00:24:51.69
then you can add
like a tablespoon or two,
00:24:51.72\00:24:53.29
its up to you, as you
play with the recipes,
00:24:53.32\00:24:56.95
it's not a cake
batter, it's all we can batter.
00:24:56.98\00:24:58.93
It's supposed to be different.
00:24:58.96\00:25:00.33
It's supposed to be
stiffer; it's not supposed,
00:25:00.36\00:25:01.73
it's look no like a cake
running all over the place.
00:25:01.76\00:25:03.59
Yes. All right. Now
we have a cookie sheet,
00:25:03.62\00:25:07.44
let's take it on
the cookie sheet.
00:25:07.47\00:25:08.84
So you take your spoon,
we can form balls like this,
00:25:09.87\00:25:16.13
I like doing the
balls, and then you put it on
00:25:16.16\00:25:19.52
your cookie sheet, and
watch what I do with it,
00:25:19.55\00:25:22.20
and it's your choice
of jelly, jam or whatever.
00:25:24.84\00:25:26.79
Yeah, was that
too close together.
00:25:26.82\00:25:29.38
My spoon can almost; the
spoon hardly fits in there,
00:25:29.41\00:25:32.75
and watch this. You put
the thumbprint in there,
00:25:34.25\00:25:37.78
I see that thumbprint.
That's a lot of jelly.
00:25:37.81\00:25:40.03
And the jam in there.
But that one is good though
00:25:40.06\00:25:44.58
you know Marlene I like
that. And this is the perfect
00:25:44.61\00:25:48.15
dessert for your
guest coming on over there
00:25:48.18\00:25:51.64
to your house, for
your children, for lunch you
00:25:51.67\00:25:56.20
can pack take it for a
packed lunch for school.
00:25:56.23\00:25:58.74
Yes, that's right. You
know, take it for your teachers,
00:25:58.77\00:26:01.85
little people. Good,
I love it, very nice.
00:26:01.88\00:26:05.30
And you just bake it at
350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
00:26:05.33\00:26:08.13
And that's it. That's
it. I love it. And serve.
00:26:08.16\00:26:10.90
Perfect. And eat meal.
That's right. And enjoy.
00:26:10.93\00:26:13.98
That's right.
Well we have to take
00:26:14.01\00:26:15.69
