It opens the door. 00:03:21.51\00:03:22.59 Yes, it does and today we have some special recipes 00:03:22.62\00:03:25.21 because we are focusing on a specific niche 00:03:25.24\00:03:27.28 which I think is very important. 00:03:27.31\00:03:28.82 We don't always focus on this 00:03:28.85\00:03:30.11 and we're talking about diabetes today. 00:03:30.14\00:03:32.12 Why are we talking about diabetes? 00:03:32.15\00:03:34.08 Well, diabetes is one of those diseases 00:03:34.11\00:03:35.92 that we are seeing more and more 00:03:35.95\00:03:37.06 of not only in the United States and Canada 00:03:37.09\00:03:39.00 but many of the developing countries, 00:03:39.03\00:03:41.71 and diabetes is such a devastating diseases. 00:03:41.74\00:03:44.54 I've had a chance to kind of see it up close 00:03:44.57\00:03:46.70 because I have a lot of relatives 00:03:46.73\00:03:47.86 that suffer with diabetes. 00:03:47.89\00:03:49.76 And I have seen the devastation 00:03:49.79\00:03:51.98 it can cause with the loss of limbs, 00:03:52.01\00:03:53.63 loss of sight and the sad part is that 00:03:53.66\00:03:56.73 a lot of time our lifestyle choices 00:03:56.76\00:03:58.19 can completely change the outcome. 00:03:58.22\00:04:02.16 We can actually prevent developing diabetes 00:04:02.19\00:04:04.90 by making healthy choices 00:04:04.93\00:04:06.06 on a consistent basis many much of the time. 00:04:06.09\00:04:09.08 And even if we are suffering from either hyperglycemia 00:04:09.11\00:04:12.10 which is like a low blood sugar or diabetes that's full blown, 00:04:12.13\00:04:15.77 that type II diabetes especially is very amenable 00:04:15.80\00:04:18.98 to lifestyle changes. 00:04:19.01\00:04:20.31 And we are gonna talk about foods that can help us 00:04:20.34\00:04:22.53 both to prevent and reverse diabetes. 00:04:22.56\00:04:25.09 Amen. 00:04:25.12\00:04:26.15 I like that, because prevention of course is better than cure. 00:04:26.18\00:04:28.45 Absolutely. 00:04:28.48\00:04:29.54 But then if you are dealing with something already, 00:04:29.57\00:04:31.05 then we can actually reverse something. 00:04:31.08\00:04:33.17 Especially diabetes type II. 00:04:33.20\00:04:34.68 People have diabetes type I 00:04:34.71\00:04:36.69 that always just reverse it with lifestyle 00:04:36.72\00:04:38.34 but even the kinds of things we are talking about today 00:04:38.37\00:04:40.84 can decrease the need for medication. 00:04:40.87\00:04:43.34 In a person with even a type I diabetes 00:04:43.37\00:04:45.67 because it's just kind of a-- 00:04:45.70\00:04:46.73 it's a healthy approach to eating 00:04:46.76\00:04:48.89 that can help all of us. 00:04:48.92\00:04:49.95 Amen. 00:04:49.98\00:04:51.01 Now I heard that genetics loads the gun 00:04:51.04\00:04:53.90 but lifestyle pulls the trigger. 00:04:53.93\00:04:55.73 One of my favorite sayings. 00:04:55.76\00:04:56.79 Is that? 00:04:56.82\00:04:57.86 Well, I wasn't sure but yeah, that's great because, 00:04:57.89\00:05:00.54 you know, we all-- you know, we live in a world of sin 00:05:00.57\00:05:03.56 and we see that prevalent not only in 00:05:03.59\00:05:06.18 what takes place in the world 00:05:06.21\00:05:07.24 but in the sickness and diseases 00:05:07.27\00:05:08.79 but yet our lifestyle what we eat. 00:05:08.82\00:05:11.89 Those eight laws that health makes a tremendous difference 00:05:11.92\00:05:15.07 in our quality of life and in reversal of many 00:05:15.10\00:05:18.19 of those diseases so necessarily. 00:05:18.22\00:05:19.66 Absolutely. 00:05:19.69\00:05:20.74 In fact, it's really so fascinating to me 00:05:20.77\00:05:22.32 that we've recently, rather recently learned 00:05:22.35\00:05:24.68 that the choices we make can actually turn our genes 00:05:24.71\00:05:28.56 for developing diabetes or heart diseases 00:05:28.59\00:05:30.35 or whatever on and off. 00:05:30.38\00:05:32.19 And so we are not-- 00:05:32.22\00:05:33.25 That's called the genetics, right? 00:05:33.28\00:05:34.31 That's right. 00:05:34.34\00:05:35.37 And so we are not stuck with what we are born with, 00:05:35.40\00:05:36.69 and I just think that's, that give us a lot of hope. 00:05:36.72\00:05:38.95 It does, absolutely. 00:05:38.98\00:05:40.08 Now we talked about your cookbooks. 00:05:40.11\00:05:41.37 You have a ministry in English and in Spanish. 00:05:41.40\00:05:43.22 Yes. 00:05:43.25\00:05:44.28 And I just discovered she also speaks French 00:05:44.31\00:05:46.00 but today we're doing English 00:05:46.03\00:05:47.57 because that's all Jill can speak. 00:05:47.60\00:05:50.14 "Flavors of Health" tell me about your cookbook? 00:05:50.17\00:05:52.58 "Flavors of Health" is actually a cookbook 00:05:52.61\00:05:54.16 that my mother and I developed together. 00:05:54.19\00:05:57.89 She had a real burden to develop a Spanish cookbook 00:05:57.92\00:06:00.43 that was plant based 00:06:00.46\00:06:01.80 because it was very difficult to find Spanish recipe books 00:06:01.83\00:06:05.03 that are plant based. 00:06:05.06\00:06:06.12 And so that's how the project started 00:06:06.15\00:06:07.66 and it kind of grew as people ask us, 00:06:07.69\00:06:09.92 we really like an English version of that. 00:06:09.95\00:06:11.78 So we ended up doing it in both languages 00:06:11.81\00:06:14.48 and we are on our second edition at this point. 00:06:14.51\00:06:16.64 Wow. Amen. 00:06:16.67\00:06:17.70 There is breakfast, there is entrées, soups, 00:06:17.73\00:06:20.32 breads and crackers, huh, dessert? 00:06:20.35\00:06:23.34 There are dessert section in there. 00:06:23.37\00:06:24.87 Oh, okay. 00:06:24.90\00:06:26.54 That's wonderful and this is high marks 00:06:26.57\00:06:29.03 from Dr. Zeno Charles-Marcel and Dr. Hans Diehl 00:06:29.06\00:06:32.75 and so that we recommend this book to you. 00:06:32.78\00:06:35.77 It looks great and I'm excited to look into that further. 00:06:35.80\00:06:38.83 Right now what we want to do is look at those recipes 00:06:38.86\00:06:42.10 that we are going to be taking a look at here today. 00:06:42.13\00:06:44.81 The first one is you pronounce that Migarrones? 00:06:44.84\00:06:47.13 Migarrones, that's kind of a Spanish word 00:06:47.16\00:06:49.24 and its one we made up 00:06:49.27\00:06:50.92 because it's a take off on a Spanish word 00:06:50.95\00:06:52.94 that means sausage 00:06:52.97\00:06:54.00 and it's kind of a beef crumble. 00:06:54.03\00:06:56.08 So you can call it whatever you want to call it. 00:06:56.11\00:06:58.21 Make a sausage crumble and we're gonna put that 00:06:58.24\00:07:00.04 into the Baked Spaghetti. 00:07:00.07\00:07:01.21 We are, we are gonna do that because it's a-- 00:07:01.24\00:07:03.61 it's a really great way to find a low cost beef replacement 00:07:03.64\00:07:07.38 for any recipe that calls for ground beef. 00:07:07.41\00:07:09.25 I like that. 00:07:09.28\00:07:10.32 And then we are making a Mexi-White Corn Salad. 00:07:10.35\00:07:13.23 That's right. 00:07:13.26\00:07:14.29 It's kind of a Mexican flavored salad 00:07:14.32\00:07:17.75 and then we end with something special for dessert. 00:07:17.78\00:07:20.13 Fruity Chews. Fruity Chews, that's right. 00:07:20.16\00:07:23.63 That's wonderful. 00:07:23.66\00:07:24.69 We'll we are looking at food today 00:07:24.72\00:07:25.97 for the prevention and reversal of diabetes. 00:07:26.00\00:07:29.04 That's correct. Let's read our first recipe. 00:07:29.07\00:07:31.49 You want to read that for us here, Lucia? 00:07:31.52\00:07:33.17 That's pretty easy. That's it? 00:07:49.92\00:07:51.81 It is. Wow. 00:07:51.84\00:07:53.43 And very simple. 00:07:53.46\00:07:54.59 Do I need to turn this pan on for you? 00:07:54.62\00:07:55.65 While we go ahead and turn on so it starts to get warm 00:07:55.68\00:07:57.79 and then we basically do it all in the blender 00:07:57.82\00:08:00.43 which makes it really simple. 00:08:00.46\00:08:02.35 Do you want it on high, medium, low? 00:08:02.38\00:08:04.04 Let's start with high. High, okay. 00:08:04.07\00:08:05.60 And turn it down if it starts to smoke. 00:08:05.63\00:08:06.81 Okay, sounds good. Okay. 00:08:06.84\00:08:09.14 And then we will start by putting in our walnuts. 00:08:09.17\00:08:13.46 Walnuts are an excellent source of protein 00:08:13.49\00:08:15.26 and they are the kind of fat that's good for helping us 00:08:15.29\00:08:17.55 control our blood sugars. 00:08:17.58\00:08:19.65 Because it comes with all the fiber 00:08:19.68\00:08:20.98 that God designed for it rather than free oil. 00:08:21.01\00:08:23.80 Onion of course is both for health and for flavor. 00:08:23.83\00:08:26.40 I love onions. 00:08:26.43\00:08:28.20 And then we have celery, more fiber and really great flavor. 00:08:28.23\00:08:33.19 Some garlic. 00:08:33.22\00:08:34.42 I don't know how to cook without garlic and onions. 00:08:34.45\00:08:37.26 And little bit of salt. 00:08:37.29\00:08:39.11 And then we will put that in our blender 00:08:39.14\00:08:41.73 with part of the water. 00:08:41.76\00:08:44.23 Okay. 00:08:44.26\00:08:45.70 And put the lid on. Put the lid on. 00:08:50.98\00:08:53.16 And make some noise. 00:08:53.19\00:08:54.27 And I make sure I have all the knobs down to roll. 00:08:54.30\00:08:57.00 You usually want blend it till everything is creamy. 00:09:15.57\00:09:18.38 That doesn't take too long, it doesn't matter 00:09:18.41\00:09:20.19 whether you have a really high powered blender 00:09:20.22\00:09:21.80 like the Vitamix or cheaper blender, 00:09:21.83\00:09:23.77 you just blend it a little bit longer. 00:09:23.80\00:09:25.37 Okay. 00:09:25.40\00:09:26.50 And then we will put that in our pot. 00:09:26.53\00:09:29.66 It was warm. Yes, it was. 00:09:29.69\00:09:34.04 And put the rest of the water in with it. 00:09:34.07\00:09:37.95 So I need to stir here? 00:09:37.98\00:09:40.30 I think you can stir that around. 00:09:40.33\00:09:43.23 And that's the broth 00:09:43.26\00:09:44.78 then that will give the flavor to our bulgur wheat. 00:09:44.81\00:09:48.79 Now this is the bulgur wheat and this provides 00:09:48.82\00:09:51.50 the texture for your beef crumbles. 00:09:51.53\00:09:54.52 And I'm just gonna put those. 00:09:54.55\00:09:55.78 You want of course grind. 00:09:58.62\00:10:00.10 There are some grinds you can find there 00:10:00.13\00:10:01.45 even a darker brown than this and that's fine too. 00:10:01.48\00:10:04.25 And bulgur wheat is a little bit different from whole wheat. 00:10:04.28\00:10:07.38 Because bulgur wheat has actually been cracked 00:10:07.41\00:10:10.53 and precooked and then dried. 00:10:10.56\00:10:12.56 Okay. 00:10:12.59\00:10:13.64 So it doesn't take very long to cook or to absorb liquid 00:10:13.67\00:10:16.26 like it's going to in this particular recipe. 00:10:16.29\00:10:18.86 And so we will stir it to make sure 00:10:18.89\00:10:20.96 it's really well mixed and then put it-- 00:10:20.99\00:10:23.35 bring it to a boil and then let it cook on medium heat 00:10:23.38\00:10:27.08 for about 15 minutes. 00:10:27.11\00:10:28.76 What you wanted to do is soak up the liquid. 00:10:28.79\00:10:31.32 You would cover it or stir it? 00:10:31.35\00:10:32.90 It doesn't matter if you cover it, 00:10:32.93\00:10:34.27 you want to stir it every few minutes depending on your pot. 00:10:34.30\00:10:37.66 You want to be really careful 00:10:37.69\00:10:38.72 because it can stick and burn kind of easily 00:10:38.75\00:10:41.39 and you don't want that to happen. 00:10:41.42\00:10:42.57 No. 00:10:42.60\00:10:43.69 When it's ready it will probably look more like this. 00:10:43.72\00:10:47.19 Okay. 00:10:47.22\00:10:48.25 You know, it will be kind of mushy, 00:10:48.28\00:10:51.25 it won't be dry at all, it might not even look quite 00:10:51.28\00:10:53.67 as grainy as this does here and that's okay. 00:10:53.70\00:10:57.14 Because then you will just take that 00:10:57.17\00:10:58.56 and spread it out thin in the cookie sheet 00:10:58.59\00:11:01.70 and put it in the oven to dry out. 00:11:01.73\00:11:04.51 And it's the drying out then that it kind of cooks 00:11:04.54\00:11:07.01 all those nice flavors right into the wheat 00:11:07.04\00:11:09.81 and you can cook it 00:11:09.84\00:11:11.84 till it's crumbly like here's the example. 00:11:11.87\00:11:15.71 This is done. 00:11:15.74\00:11:16.88 Okay, and you can make it kind of moist 00:11:16.91\00:11:18.92 and then you need to keep it in the refrigerator, 00:11:18.95\00:11:20.68 it probably last well for a week to 10 days 00:11:20.71\00:11:23.33 or you can dry it out even more 00:11:23.36\00:11:24.75 till they're like really crunchy 00:11:24.78\00:11:26.69 and then you can keep it in the fridge or the freezer 00:11:26.72\00:11:28.88 for an indefinite period of time. 00:11:28.91\00:11:29.94 Okay. 00:11:29.97\00:11:31.03 So it's available just sometime when you want to, 00:11:31.06\00:11:33.09 you know, throw some crumbles into a dish. 00:11:33.12\00:11:35.54 So I like to make a big batch all at once 00:11:35.57\00:11:37.72 and then just save the extra the leftover. 00:11:37.75\00:11:40.17 How much does one batch make the recipe that we did, 00:11:40.20\00:11:42.30 how much when it's actually cooked down? 00:11:42.33\00:11:43.37 The recipe that we did it will make about six cups. 00:11:43.40\00:11:47.77 Okay. 00:11:47.80\00:11:48.93 Yeah, just about four to six cups depending. 00:11:48.96\00:11:52.02 And what type of recipes would you use that in? 00:11:52.05\00:11:54.41 Oh, you can just use it in so many different things.. 00:11:54.44\00:11:57.68 We had as one of our samples using in tacos. 00:11:57.71\00:12:00.65 We have it over here, you can see that. 00:12:00.68\00:12:01.72 Or you can us it like the ground beef, 00:12:01.75\00:12:03.86 then we'll put all your dressings on it 00:12:03.89\00:12:05.35 or you could use it in spaghetti 00:12:05.38\00:12:06.94 or lasagna or chilly 00:12:06.97\00:12:09.63 or put it in barbecue sauce and make Sloppy Joes. 00:12:09.66\00:12:12.51 So there's a lot of different things you can do. 00:12:12.54\00:12:14.27 Pretty much anything you would do with ground beef. 00:12:14.30\00:12:16.69 Nice, I love that. 00:12:16.72\00:12:18.56 I got to try some here and I don't think 00:12:18.59\00:12:20.27 I got a spoon which is a problem 00:12:20.30\00:12:22.32 but the next recipe I will get a spoon and try it 00:12:22.35\00:12:24.44 because we want to see what it tastes like. 00:12:24.47\00:12:25.82 That's wonderful. 00:12:25.85\00:12:26.88 So what type of-- we are talking about foods 00:12:26.91\00:12:30.05 for the prevention and reversal of diabetes. 00:12:30.08\00:12:32.21 So tell me if I just eat a low sugar diet 00:12:32.24\00:12:35.12 is that gonna help me? 00:12:35.15\00:12:36.32 Well, it won't hurt you 00:12:36.35\00:12:38.81 and we want to avoid refined sugar 00:12:38.84\00:12:40.51 but actually one of the things 00:12:40.54\00:12:41.76 that's really important for diabetics 00:12:41.79\00:12:43.58 is to be really careful 00:12:43.61\00:12:45.99 with the amount of fat in their diet. 00:12:46.02\00:12:47.98 We actually found that fat increases your blood sugar 00:12:48.01\00:12:51.76 even more dramatically than sugar intake does. 00:12:51.79\00:12:54.56 For example they did a really interesting study 00:12:54.59\00:12:56.42 with medical students that were perfectly healthy 00:12:56.45\00:12:58.99 and they fed them a pound of sugar-- 00:12:59.02\00:13:02.14 a pound of sugar. 00:13:02.17\00:13:03.30 Anyway a good quantity of sugar every day, 00:13:03.33\00:13:06.12 I have to check my facts on that one. 00:13:06.15\00:13:07.33 Okay. 00:13:07.36\00:13:08.39 But a good quantity of sugar every day 00:13:08.42\00:13:10.48 for a number of weeks thinking that, 00:13:10.51\00:13:12.70 maybe they could turn them into diabetics 00:13:12.73\00:13:14.21 by giving them all the sugar 00:13:14.24\00:13:15.62 but they kept checking their bloods 00:13:15.65\00:13:17.63 and they didn't get diabetic. 00:13:17.66\00:13:20.06 But they took the very same students 00:13:20.09\00:13:21.81 and put them on a high fat diet, 00:13:21.84\00:13:23.79 kind of like standard American diet 00:13:23.82\00:13:26.52 and it only took them about three or four weeks 00:13:26.55\00:13:29.63 to develop diabetes 00:13:29.66\00:13:30.71 and these were perfectly healthy people. 00:13:30.74\00:13:32.67 And so we found that fat is really important. 00:13:32.70\00:13:36.18 So in this recipe we are using walnuts for our fat which is-- 00:13:36.21\00:13:40.03 which means they come with a lot of fiber 00:13:40.06\00:13:41.97 the way God designed them 00:13:42.00\00:13:43.83 and the wheat has a lot of fiber as well. 00:13:43.86\00:13:47.38 And fiber really helps to moderate blood sugars. 00:13:47.41\00:13:50.75 So it helps the carbohydrates in the dish 00:13:50.78\00:13:54.07 not to raise your blood sugar 00:13:54.10\00:13:55.43 and spike it as much as it would, 00:13:55.46\00:13:57.32 if they were was the fiber to slow that down. 00:13:57.35\00:13:59.03 So the key is the fats we eat, 00:13:59.06\00:14:01.85 we want natural fats like your nuts, your seeds, 00:14:01.88\00:14:04.30 your avocado something like that and in addition 00:14:04.33\00:14:06.67 you want fiber along with the fat. 00:14:06.70\00:14:08.76 That's right. Okay. 00:14:08.79\00:14:09.89 And if you are eating whole plant based foods, 00:14:09.92\00:14:12.23 you are automatically gonna get that kind of a diet. 00:14:12.26\00:14:14.88 But we want to show you different ways 00:14:14.91\00:14:16.17 that you can do that and incorporate that 00:14:16.20\00:14:17.95 into your menus. 00:14:17.98\00:14:19.38 And this-- you can see here 00:14:19.41\00:14:20.44 it's starting to get thick. 00:14:20.47\00:14:21.50 I can. 00:14:21.53\00:14:23.04 And we would let it cook just a little bit longer. 00:14:23.07\00:14:24.71 We don't have time to do that here on the show 00:14:24.74\00:14:26.48 but we would cook it down just a little bit more 00:14:26.51\00:14:28.60 and then put it in the cookie sheet 00:14:28.63\00:14:29.95 and when you are done, you just bake it 00:14:29.98\00:14:32.60 till it dries out at low heat about 200 degrees 00:14:32.63\00:14:35.68 and just stir it every half hour 00:14:35.71\00:14:38.34 or so and it will start to turn into crumbles 00:14:38.37\00:14:41.78 because as it dries out it will get crumbly 00:14:41.81\00:14:43.97 and just keep stirring it and get it as dry 00:14:44.00\00:14:46.78 as you want depending on the use. 00:14:46.81\00:14:48.62 Right. Oh, that's great. 00:14:48.65\00:14:50.05 If you dried out really dry and you are gonna use it 00:14:50.08\00:14:52.93 again you can rehydrate it in something like 00:14:52.96\00:14:54.72 tomato juice or vegetable broth 00:14:54.75\00:14:57.49 and give it a really nice flavor 00:14:57.52\00:14:59.41 before you put it into the other dish. 00:14:59.44\00:15:01.66 I like that, oh that's great. 00:15:01.69\00:15:03.29 And we are going to put it in a dish. 00:15:03.32\00:15:04.66 Now in the baked spaghetti That's right. 00:15:04.69\00:15:06.32 So let's read that recipe for Baked Spaghetti. 00:15:06.35\00:15:09.33 So after you made the recipe, if you decide 00:15:30.64\00:15:31.98 you want little more or little less of the salt, 00:15:32.01\00:15:33.50 you can always adjust. 00:15:33.53\00:15:35.08 If you're really struggling with your blood sugar, 00:15:45.47\00:15:47.62 you might want to drop the olive oil 00:15:47.65\00:15:49.14 either half of it or leave it out. 00:15:49.17\00:15:51.13 And in this particular demonstration 00:15:51.16\00:15:53.70 we're going to use two cups of the vege beef crumbles 00:15:53.73\00:15:56.86 that we just showed you, 00:15:56.89\00:15:58.04 the Migarrones as to make it more of the main dish. 00:15:58.07\00:16:03.03 I love spaghetti, 00:16:03.06\00:16:04.38 I like lasagna any of that type of stuff 00:16:04.41\00:16:08.37 and it's just traditional, you know, 00:16:08.40\00:16:10.08 at least here in America it seems to be. 00:16:10.11\00:16:11.42 It is and pasta is one of those things 00:16:11.45\00:16:13.29 that we think of kind of as a quick 00:16:13.32\00:16:14.76 and easy dish a lot of times or a very economical dish 00:16:14.79\00:16:17.97 if we are tying to feed 00:16:18.00\00:16:19.03 a lot of people with not a lot of money. 00:16:19.06\00:16:20.60 And the way we are gonna do the spaghetti 00:16:20.63\00:16:22.32 today is making it like a main dish 00:16:22.35\00:16:25.65 which means you don't need very much to add to it 00:16:25.68\00:16:27.71 to have a complete meal. 00:16:27.74\00:16:29.31 For instance just add a tossed salad, you know, 00:16:29.34\00:16:32.29 little bit of garlic toast if you want or you know, 00:16:32.32\00:16:34.34 something like that and then you are all set. 00:16:34.37\00:16:37.13 And you can make it ahead, it freezes well, 00:16:37.16\00:16:39.98 you can make it the day before anything like that. 00:16:40.01\00:16:42.38 So I think this will be something 00:16:42.41\00:16:43.87 that can be very practical. 00:16:43.90\00:16:45.63 I like that, absolutely. 00:16:45.66\00:16:47.10 And this would be high fiber and low fat 00:16:47.13\00:16:50.24 because that's what we are pressing in this program. 00:16:50.27\00:16:51.54 That's right. 00:16:51.57\00:16:52.62 And sometimes pasta tends to be a carrier for fat. 00:16:52.65\00:16:55.64 Okay, some people say hey, I'm avoiding that. 00:16:55.67\00:16:57.76 That's right. 00:16:57.79\00:16:58.96 And a lot of diabetes think they can't eat pasta 00:16:58.99\00:17:02.33 and they shouldn't be eating white pasta. 00:17:02.36\00:17:04.59 We're gonna be using a whole wheat pasta today. 00:17:04.62\00:17:07.01 If you need to be gluten free, you can substitute 00:17:07.04\00:17:10.17 a whole grain brown rice pasta just as well. 00:17:10.20\00:17:14.08 And that would make it gluten free, 00:17:14.11\00:17:16.49 you might use a soy crumble instead of the wheat crumble 00:17:16.52\00:17:19.94 if you wanted to make a gluten free version of this. 00:17:19.97\00:17:21.74 Okay, great. 00:17:21.77\00:17:22.88 So let's start with the blender 00:17:22.91\00:17:24.21 because you are gonna have several layers. 00:17:24.24\00:17:26.10 We are gonna make our sauce layer first. 00:17:26.13\00:17:27.72 And in the sauce layer 00:17:27.75\00:17:28.83 we are going to be putting cashews. 00:17:28.86\00:17:31.21 Cashews are really great for giving a creaminess 00:17:31.24\00:17:34.43 without a great deal of extra fat 00:17:34.46\00:17:36.92 and they are very tasty. 00:17:36.95\00:17:39.31 If you can't get cashews or cashews are too expensive 00:17:39.34\00:17:42.31 because people say oh, I can't afford cashews. 00:17:42.34\00:17:44.42 You could substitute sunflowers same quantity. 00:17:44.45\00:17:47.77 It will be a little bit different flavor 00:17:47.80\00:17:49.00 but it will still be good. 00:17:49.03\00:17:50.12 Okay. 00:17:50.15\00:17:51.18 So we have cashews and then we have onions 00:17:51.21\00:17:52.92 and red bell pepper. 00:17:52.95\00:17:54.96 Onions are very good for your health and red pepper 00:17:54.99\00:17:57.88 of course a very good source of vitamin C 00:17:57.91\00:18:00.78 and the yeast flakes, our nutritional yeast flakes 00:18:00.81\00:18:04.14 which give a cheesy flavor to the dish. 00:18:04.17\00:18:06.88 And so I always like it when we want something 00:18:06.91\00:18:08.60 that's gonna be a little bit cheesy. 00:18:08.63\00:18:09.99 Plus you get your B vitamins too. 00:18:10.02\00:18:11.50 That's right. That's right. 00:18:11.53\00:18:13.31 And then we have garlic. 00:18:13.34\00:18:15.32 Like I told you I can't cook without garlic. 00:18:15.35\00:18:19.35 And we have a little bit of salt, 00:18:19.38\00:18:21.12 a little bit of lemon juice for some tartness 00:18:21.15\00:18:23.12 and we will be putting in just a small amount of oil 00:18:23.15\00:18:25.81 like I said that's optional. 00:18:25.84\00:18:27.27 So if you are really struggling with your blood sugar, 00:18:27.30\00:18:28.94 just leave the olive oil out. 00:18:28.97\00:18:30.26 Okay, great. 00:18:30.29\00:18:32.04 Okay, so we start with our water, 00:18:32.07\00:18:33.79 and our cashews which I always want to wash first 00:18:37.28\00:18:41.18 before you use them. 00:18:41.21\00:18:43.91 But do it just before you use them. 00:18:43.94\00:18:45.90 And then we will put in the onions, 00:18:45.93\00:18:47.97 just chunks so your blender can handle it. 00:18:48.00\00:18:51.61 The peppers help to give a nice color to the sauce. 00:18:51.64\00:18:54.68 Oh, yeah. 00:18:54.71\00:18:55.97 There go our flakes. 00:18:56.00\00:18:59.15 I'm gonna put the oil in a little bit 00:18:59.18\00:19:00.54 ahead of time at the end 00:19:00.57\00:19:03.24 and I will go ahead and put the garlic in now 00:19:03.27\00:19:08.58 and I will put the salt in. 00:19:08.61\00:19:12.27 Okay. 00:19:12.30\00:19:13.69 And no lemon juice yet either. 00:19:13.72\00:19:15.02 I'm gonna put those two in at the end. 00:19:15.05\00:19:16.88 So you will notice me adding it right at the end 00:19:16.91\00:19:18.76 after everything is blended up really nice and smooth. 00:19:18.79\00:19:21.20 Make some noise. Yep, time to make some noise. 00:19:25.54\00:19:28.61 Now at home if we weren't on camera 00:20:06.64\00:20:08.35 would you blend it longer? 00:20:08.38\00:20:09.41 Just a little bit. 00:20:09.44\00:20:10.49 Just I want to get it very smooth. 00:20:10.52\00:20:12.09 Okay. And I love the color. 00:20:12.12\00:20:14.51 It's almost like a pimento and it's the pepper. 00:20:14.54\00:20:16.08 Yes, it is. I like that. 00:20:16.11\00:20:18.20 And you can actually use it all by itself. 00:20:18.23\00:20:19.86 It's kind of a pimento cheese sauce on veggies 00:20:19.89\00:20:21.99 like cauliflower or something like that as well. 00:20:22.02\00:20:24.88 Now that we-- oh, I need to add the olive oil and the salt. 00:20:24.91\00:20:28.65 I was wondering where that was coming in. 00:20:28.68\00:20:30.81 We're gonna put back on the blender 00:20:30.84\00:20:31.87 and finish that up. 00:20:31.90\00:20:32.94 Okay. 00:20:32.97\00:20:34.00 So normally you add it at the end as its running? 00:20:34.03\00:20:36.45 Yes, yes. Okay, good. 00:20:36.48\00:20:38.29 The smell is wonderful. I love that. 00:21:04.13\00:21:07.48 Let me remove this here for you. 00:21:07.51\00:21:08.98 Okay. Thank you. 00:21:09.01\00:21:10.89 If I unplug it then we can remove over here. 00:21:14.21\00:21:16.44 Okay. 00:21:21.53\00:21:23.35 Now you haven't cooked your spaghetti. 00:21:23.38\00:21:25.10 No, I like to do this really quick and easy 00:21:25.13\00:21:27.63 which means I'm not gonna precook the spaghetti. 00:21:27.66\00:21:29.50 You could actually do this dish very similarly with lasagna. 00:21:29.53\00:21:32.90 Yes. 00:21:32.93\00:21:33.99 The only difference I would make 00:21:34.02\00:21:35.08 if you do lasagna just make sure 00:21:35.11\00:21:36.25 your spaghetti sauce is a little more watery 00:21:36.28\00:21:38.74 because the lasagna will absorb more water than the spaghetti. 00:21:38.77\00:21:40.51 Right, okay. That's great, I like that. 00:21:40.54\00:21:44.78 Here. 00:21:44.81\00:21:45.84 Never mind, I got right here. 00:21:45.87\00:21:47.19 Here you go. It's good. 00:21:47.22\00:21:49.96 Okay. 00:21:49.99\00:21:53.12 We gonna start by putting in a little bit of sauce. 00:21:53.15\00:21:59.87 On the bottom. 00:21:59.90\00:22:00.95 I'll just put that on the bottom 00:22:00.98\00:22:02.05 that keeps the spaghetti from sticking. 00:22:02.08\00:22:03.99 Very good. 00:22:07.36\00:22:08.96 Okay. 00:22:11.86\00:22:13.18 That's the best way to do it. Shake it round. 00:22:13.21\00:22:16.79 I always do lasagna this way with a dry, you know 00:22:16.82\00:22:19.18 I love it uncooked and it saves so much time. 00:22:19.21\00:22:21.71 It does. It does. 00:22:21.74\00:22:22.81 And then with the spaghetti 00:22:22.84\00:22:24.26 I just kind of put down about one layer of spaghetti. 00:22:24.29\00:22:27.78 Nice, okay. 00:22:27.81\00:22:29.57 Now do you have to do it the night before 00:22:29.60\00:22:30.72 so it absorbs or not. 00:22:30.75\00:22:31.80 You don't have to-- 00:22:31.83\00:22:33.41 but you can either leave it overnight 00:22:33.44\00:22:35.40 and then cook it the next morning 00:22:35.43\00:22:36.67 or you can cook it right away. 00:22:36.70\00:22:38.11 Okay. 00:22:38.14\00:22:39.17 And it's nice to have a dish 00:22:39.20\00:22:40.53 that's just a little bit longer than the spaghetti 00:22:40.56\00:22:42.52 because the spaghetti tends to curl up 00:22:42.55\00:22:44.20 as it swells on the end if it's right to the ends. 00:22:44.23\00:22:46.87 So this is just about perfect. 00:22:46.90\00:22:48.84 And then I'm going to use-- that will be terrific. 00:22:48.87\00:22:53.33 Little bit or bulgur just kind of sprinkle it on. 00:22:53.36\00:22:57.63 Now this one is not as dry as the other one that we did. 00:22:57.66\00:22:59.96 No. And because-- 00:22:59.99\00:23:01.27 You rehydrated it or you just didn't bake it at all. 00:23:01.30\00:23:02.85 This one I didn't bake quite as long 00:23:02.88\00:23:04.77 because I don't want it to soak up 00:23:04.80\00:23:06.26 all of my spaghetti sauce. 00:23:06.29\00:23:07.57 I don't let the spaghetti soak up 00:23:07.60\00:23:08.64 the liquid instead of my bulgur. 00:23:08.67\00:23:09.82 Good. 00:23:09.85\00:23:10.88 So it's kind of a matter of filling out 00:23:10.91\00:23:13.55 how much of your liquid needs to be absorbed. 00:23:13.58\00:23:15.55 If you have a very watery sauce then you could afford 00:23:15.58\00:23:17.75 to use the dry bulgur itself. 00:23:17.78\00:23:20.05 And then we are going to pour 00:23:20.08\00:23:21.17 in just about a third of this cheese 00:23:21.20\00:23:24.33 or cheesy sauce you can say. 00:23:24.36\00:23:26.35 I like that cheesy sauce. Boy, it smells good. 00:23:26.38\00:23:30.64 And then some more tomato sauce. 00:23:30.67\00:23:31.94 Nice layer. 00:23:36.02\00:23:38.72 I've never made it with spaghetti, you know-- 00:23:38.75\00:23:41.45 And the spaghetti-- And it's just amazing. 00:23:41.48\00:23:42.85 Yeah, the spaghetti sauce-- 00:23:42.88\00:23:44.25 I do want to talk about just a little bit 00:23:44.28\00:23:45.83 because we are not showing us 00:23:45.86\00:23:47.18 a recipe for spaghetti sauce here, 00:23:47.21\00:23:49.11 there is a really nice recipe in the recipe book and if you, 00:23:49.14\00:23:53.13 you can make your own sauce. 00:23:53.16\00:23:54.66 I think I'm gonna put a layer of spaghetti next. 00:23:54.69\00:23:56.41 I was wondering what was going on. 00:23:56.44\00:23:59.24 We get busy talking. Yes. 00:23:59.27\00:24:01.12 So you have a recipe in your cookbook for spaghetti sauce? 00:24:01.15\00:24:03.73 That's right. Okay. 00:24:03.76\00:24:04.79 Yes. 00:24:04.82\00:24:06.77 And if you make your own spaghetti sauce you want to, 00:24:06.80\00:24:09.65 you know, make sure it's not have too much sugar in it. 00:24:09.68\00:24:11.70 Because a lot of spaghetti sauces are very sweet. 00:24:11.73\00:24:14.38 You really don't need the extra sugar or the extra oil. 00:24:14.41\00:24:17.24 You just don't need a lot of extra ingredients. 00:24:17.27\00:24:18.98 You know, tomatoes and onions and garlic 00:24:19.01\00:24:20.96 are kind of the basic sauce that this needs. 00:24:20.99\00:24:23.35 Okay. 00:24:23.38\00:24:25.43 And then you can put another 00:24:25.46\00:24:26.65 couple of layers of bulgur and cheese. 00:24:26.68\00:24:31.09 And one of these baking dish 00:24:31.12\00:24:32.84 is usually three layers of spaghetti 00:24:32.87\00:24:34.79 will pretty much fill it up. 00:24:34.82\00:24:36.97 And I'm only gonna put the beef on two layers. 00:24:37.00\00:24:39.66 So I put that on the bottom, it just kind of gives 00:24:39.69\00:24:42.22 a little bit better presentation on the top. 00:24:42.25\00:24:45.10 It's kind of my preference. Yeah. 00:24:45.13\00:24:46.16 Now that makes a lot of sense. 00:24:46.19\00:24:47.58 Okay, sauce. 00:24:47.61\00:24:50.34 You're gonna reserve something for top 00:24:50.37\00:24:51.60 or you only do two layers of the cheese sauce? 00:24:51.63\00:24:53.24 I actually-- you can do however you want. 00:24:53.27\00:24:56.16 Sometimes I like to use a little cheese sauce 00:24:56.19\00:24:57.93 on the top for decoration 00:24:57.96\00:24:59.53 or you can put it under the sauce 00:24:59.56\00:25:00.85 and then have like a red top on like 00:25:00.88\00:25:02.60 we have on our this boy today. 00:25:02.63\00:25:05.68 Nice. 00:25:05.71\00:25:07.77 And if you find that you are getting to the end 00:25:07.80\00:25:10.59 and you don't have quite as much sauce as you were thinking 00:25:10.62\00:25:14.58 or whatever you can always just add little bit of water 00:25:14.61\00:25:16.69 and it will just get soaked up 00:25:16.72\00:25:17.85 by the spaghetti and it will be fine. 00:25:17.88\00:25:19.16 Yes. 00:25:19.19\00:25:20.22 So I don't worry about that. 00:25:20.25\00:25:21.32 Right. That's okay. 00:25:21.35\00:25:23.23 I love that. 00:25:23.26\00:25:24.29 And while she does that I have the bulgur crumble here 00:25:24.32\00:25:26.52 I'm gonna try. 00:25:26.55\00:25:27.58 I said I had to get my supper spoon to try this. 00:25:27.61\00:25:33.99 And like I told Jill, the bulgur crumble probably 00:25:34.02\00:25:35.84 isn't something you just eat by the spoon fork but-- 00:25:35.87\00:25:38.29 Well-- 00:25:38.32\00:25:41.78 I usually use it as an ingredient in something 00:25:41.81\00:25:44.00 but you can eat it just like that if you want. 00:25:44.03\00:25:46.59 You know, that's great. 00:25:46.62\00:25:48.52 I like the flavor it will be great in tacos, 00:25:48.55\00:25:50.34 I can see how it will be great in lasagna. 00:25:50.37\00:25:53.12 Anything that would be a substitute 00:25:53.15\00:25:54.28 for that good texture. 00:25:54.31\00:25:55.63 I really like the texture in that too. 00:25:55.66\00:25:57.54 Okay. 00:25:57.57\00:25:58.62 So I'm just gonna use the spatula 00:25:58.65\00:26:00.89 to get the last bit out of him. 00:26:00.92\00:26:04.10 You need help there or you got it? 00:26:04.13\00:26:05.65 I think we've got this. Okay. 00:26:05.68\00:26:10.15 Very nice and that's quick and easy. 00:26:10.18\00:26:12.37 That it is. 00:26:12.40\00:26:13.44 You know, the cheese sauce was nothing just a bake-- 00:26:13.47\00:26:15.59 I mean, just to blend there and then, you know, 00:26:15.62\00:26:17.68 you just throw everything together, I like that. 00:26:17.71\00:26:20.39 I don't know about you 00:26:20.42\00:26:21.52 but I'm not the un-messiest cook. 00:26:21.55\00:26:26.44 When I cook I do make a mess. 00:26:26.47\00:26:28.53 And so you just want to make sure 00:26:31.22\00:26:32.63 that you have enough liquid in the dish 00:26:32.66\00:26:34.22 to cover the spaghetti. 00:26:34.25\00:26:35.43 Now would this be enough? 00:26:35.46\00:26:36.52 I would probably put just a little bit more. 00:26:36.55\00:26:37.83 Okay, and then when you bake it. 00:26:37.86\00:26:40.86 Then we will put it in the oven at 375 00:26:40.89\00:26:44.17 and bake it for about half-an-hour 00:26:44.20\00:26:46.53 if it's the size dish. 00:26:46.56\00:26:47.73 If it's a smaller dish 00:26:47.76\00:26:48.82 a little bit less time is gonna work. 00:26:48.85\00:26:51.32 And then turn the oven down to about 325 00:26:51.35\00:26:56.60 to finish baking for about a half hour. 00:26:56.63\00:26:58.98 Okay. 00:26:59.01\00:27:00.96 And then it should be good. 00:27:00.99\00:27:02.29 And if you let it cool it will hold its shape 00:27:02.32\00:27:05.95 when you serve it, 00:27:05.98\00:27:07.05 so like if you want it to hold it shape. 00:27:07.08\00:27:08.43 So keep it in the dish, let it cool. 00:27:08.46\00:27:10.39 Yes. 00:27:10.42\00:27:11.53 Or you can eat it hot, just spoon it out as well. 00:27:11.56\00:27:13.81 Right. 00:27:13.84\00:27:14.88 But if you wanted to set up a little square 00:27:14.91\00:27:16.98 like we showed here then you want to let it 00:27:17.01\00:27:19.13 cool first and then maybe heat it afterwards. 00:27:19.16\00:27:21.89 Boy, that looks good, doesn't that. 00:27:21.92\00:27:23.78 That's wonderful. 00:27:23.81\00:27:24.89 And that's all there is to it. It is and I love it. 00:27:24.92\00:27:27.10 And you can see the layered, 00:27:27.13\00:27:28.16 I don't know if you can see from the side 00:27:28.19\00:27:29.28 but you can really see the layered on that. 00:27:29.31\00:27:30.68 I can se the bulgur crumbles, I can see the spaghetti 00:27:30.71\00:27:33.73 and the cheese sauce in the midst of it. 00:27:33.76\00:27:35.29 It looks really pretty too. 00:27:35.32\00:27:36.37 It is. 00:27:36.40\00:27:37.43 And I think it's important for healthy food to look nice. 00:27:37.46\00:27:39.24 Yes. 00:27:39.27\00:27:40.31 This is part of making it taste good. 00:27:40.34\00:27:42.36 We eat with our eyes. 00:27:42.39\00:27:43.45 We do. We do. 00:27:43.48\00:27:45.36 And taste buds too. I mean, we can't discount that. 00:27:45.39\00:27:49.81 That is the way the eyes do. Yeah. 00:27:49.84\00:27:51.48 Let's go to our next recipe here 00:27:51.51\00:27:53.53 for that Mexi-White Corn Salad. 00:27:53.56\00:27:56.30 Very nice. 00:28:24.83\00:28:25.96 I like any type of salad 00:28:25.99\00:28:27.19 but especially salads with some of those, you know, 00:28:27.22\00:28:29.51 the corn and pepper and the-- 00:28:29.54\00:28:32.61 Yes, we thought it has little bit of Mexican flavor 00:28:32.64\00:28:34.66 but we put our own twist on it 00:28:34.69\00:28:35.99 so it's really not a traditional Mexican dish 00:28:36.02\00:28:37.75 per se but it kind of was inspired by that. 00:28:37.78\00:28:41.32 That's great. 00:28:41.35\00:28:42.45 We are gonna start with our soybeans 00:28:42.48\00:28:44.55 and these are green soybeans also called edamame. 00:28:44.58\00:28:48.47 Sometimes you will see them that way in the store. 00:28:48.50\00:28:50.68 I like to get them shelled and then you just steam them 00:28:50.71\00:28:54.53 they will get a really nice bright green color 00:28:54.56\00:28:56.89 as you steam them. 00:28:56.92\00:28:58.18 And I do until they're just barely tender. 00:28:58.21\00:29:00.36 And feel free to season that with a little bit of salt 00:29:00.39\00:29:03.48 or chicken style seasoning 00:29:03.51\00:29:04.54 at that stage as well if you want. 00:29:04.57\00:29:06.51 So that's something you can do its not part of the recipe 00:29:06.54\00:29:08.70 but you can do that. 00:29:08.73\00:29:10.23 And then we will add our corn 00:29:10.26\00:29:13.73 and we often use a lot of yellow cone, 00:29:13.76\00:29:15.42 I thought for change we used white corn here 00:29:15.45\00:29:17.89 and it also gives us some nice contrast. 00:29:17.92\00:29:22.08 And then we have some black olives. 00:29:22.11\00:29:24.51 I love the colors in the salad. 00:29:24.54\00:29:26.79 Me too. Oh, yes. 00:29:26.82\00:29:28.73 Some red peppers and here again we see a healthy source of fats 00:29:28.76\00:29:33.91 for our diabetic with the olives 00:29:33.94\00:29:36.26 and it means you will need as much fat 00:29:36.29\00:29:37.55 in your dressing, right. 00:29:37.58\00:29:39.10 And then some really nice bright red bell peppers 00:29:39.13\00:29:41.82 and you could use several different colors 00:29:41.85\00:29:43.32 if you want to. 00:29:43.35\00:29:44.39 I like the red and how it makes things stand out. 00:29:44.42\00:29:46.70 I like the red too and it's nice. 00:29:46.73\00:29:48.03 And the diced celery. 00:29:48.06\00:29:49.94 And then you diced it pretty finely. 00:29:49.97\00:29:51.63 Actually I had a helper that loves to dice very finely 00:29:51.66\00:29:54.25 and I like it. 00:29:54.28\00:29:55.31 I think it really makes the colors blend nicely 00:29:55.34\00:29:57.63 and the flavors in your mouth. 00:29:57.66\00:29:59.65 And that's Trish and she came down special to help with you. 00:29:59.68\00:30:02.43 Is she the one who chopped it? 00:30:02.46\00:30:03.54 No actually it was another assistant Idalia helped me. 00:30:03.57\00:30:06.81 That's wonderful. 00:30:06.84\00:30:07.87 And the radish as you notice they are really fine 00:30:07.90\00:30:09.86 and I like radish really fine 00:30:09.89\00:30:11.19 because they can be kind of hot sometimes 00:30:11.22\00:30:13.74 or really kind of very flavorful 00:30:13.77\00:30:15.74 and so having them really small 00:30:15.77\00:30:17.16 I think helps them to blend better with the dressing, 00:30:17.19\00:30:20.07 so that they don't give you that. 00:30:20.10\00:30:21.83 That's great. 00:30:21.86\00:30:23.03 Now Idalia is a great cook, we love her here at 3ABN so-- 00:30:23.06\00:30:26.40 Absolutely. 00:30:26.43\00:30:27.54 And then some nice little chopped green onions 00:30:27.57\00:30:32.54 and some cilantro that gives a kind of a Mexican flavor. 00:30:32.57\00:30:36.09 Oh, yeah. 00:30:36.12\00:30:37.17 If you don't care for cilantro, you could use parsley instead. 00:30:37.20\00:30:39.87 You will still get the nice color 00:30:39.90\00:30:41.15 and some great nutrition. 00:30:41.18\00:30:42.59 And then I have the mayo here 00:30:42.62\00:30:43.77 but I'm gonna go ahead and mix it up 00:30:43.80\00:30:45.77 and I kind of like to serve the mayonnaise on the table 00:30:45.80\00:30:48.99 when people put their own on and dress their own. 00:30:49.02\00:30:50.77 Oh, that's a good idea. 00:30:50.80\00:30:51.83 That way they can control the amount 00:30:51.86\00:30:53.53 or you can also as an alternative 00:30:53.56\00:30:55.88 you could dress this with a squeeze of lime juice, 00:30:55.91\00:30:59.12 may be just a drizzle of olive oil and then salt to taste. 00:30:59.15\00:31:02.91 So that's another really great way to do it. 00:31:02.94\00:31:04.50 That looks wonderful. 00:31:04.53\00:31:06.52 Now you do you make your own mayonnaise? 00:31:06.55\00:31:08.43 I do make my own mayonnaise 00:31:08.46\00:31:09.78 but we are doing that on a different show. 00:31:09.81\00:31:11.64 But if you don't make your own, 00:31:11.67\00:31:13.68 you want to look for mayonnaise that's vegan, 00:31:13.71\00:31:16.09 that doesn't have dairy products in it. 00:31:16.12\00:31:17.50 You don't really need those raw eggs 00:31:17.53\00:31:19.10 and you know, some of those things 00:31:19.13\00:31:20.44 that are in a lot of our common mayonnaises. 00:31:20.47\00:31:24.11 And if you can't find one I would suggest using 00:31:24.14\00:31:26.04 the olive oil and lime juice and salt as a dressing. 00:31:26.07\00:31:28.13 Oh, yes. I would love that. 00:31:28.16\00:31:29.71 And you see it's just beautiful salad. 00:31:29.74\00:31:31.10 It is beautiful. 00:31:31.13\00:31:32.29 The soybeans are really good source of protein, 00:31:32.32\00:31:34.59 so you could actually almost make this a main dish 00:31:34.62\00:31:37.12 like for a lunch or something 00:31:37.15\00:31:38.54 if you didn't have a lot of time, 00:31:38.57\00:31:39.88 you maybe on the road or taking a lunch to work, 00:31:39.91\00:31:42.73 this would work really well. 00:31:42.76\00:31:44.14 Oh, yeah. You can get much with it. 00:31:44.17\00:31:45.76 I get a spoon here, I got to try it. 00:31:45.79\00:31:48.13 I doesn't have the mayonnaise 00:31:48.16\00:31:49.35 but I have all the good veggies here. 00:31:49.38\00:31:51.07 Right, You want some seasoning 00:31:51.10\00:31:52.88 and so what you are really tasting 00:31:52.91\00:31:53.94 doesn't have all the seasoning. 00:31:53.97\00:31:55.18 It's wonderful. 00:31:58.90\00:32:01.44 I hope you enjoy it as well. 00:32:01.47\00:32:03.85 You know, that's great. 00:32:03.88\00:32:05.49 I love the vegetables. 00:32:05.52\00:32:07.27 Good kick. Oh, it's wonderful. 00:32:07.30\00:32:09.04 And I'd like it with lime juice I think. 00:32:09.07\00:32:10.37 Yes. 00:32:10.40\00:32:11.43 Me personally lime juice would really make it. 00:32:11.46\00:32:13.70 That's one of my favorite ways to do. 00:32:13.73\00:32:15.23 With the salt little bit of oil, that's great. 00:32:15.26\00:32:17.24 Yes. Yes. 00:32:17.27\00:32:18.93 So just make sure you have enough seasoning it 00:32:18.96\00:32:20.06 needed to cover the soybeans. 00:32:20.09\00:32:21.52 Because soybeans need little extra salt 00:32:21.55\00:32:22.97 if you haven't salted them before or whatever so. 00:32:23.00\00:32:25.03 Right. Oh, yeah. 00:32:25.06\00:32:26.13 Now you do a lot of-- you are just starting 00:32:26.16\00:32:28.16 into this lifestyle coaching. 00:32:28.19\00:32:29.51 Tell me about that. 00:32:29.54\00:32:30.57 And you been though for years 00:32:30.60\00:32:33.09 helping people and working with people. 00:32:33.12\00:32:34.56 Exactly. 00:32:34.59\00:32:35.71 And so one of the things that 00:32:35.74\00:32:37.81 I decided I always like to learn. 00:32:37.84\00:32:39.39 I'm always trying to learn new things. 00:32:39.42\00:32:41.00 And so I would like to really get better 00:32:41.03\00:32:42.93 at coaching and so I have the opportunity to take 00:32:42.96\00:32:46.14 a course and learn about coaching 00:32:46.17\00:32:48.20 and the thing that I really appreciated about 00:32:48.23\00:32:50.75 that is, that it helped me with the skills, 00:32:50.78\00:32:53.37 the kinds of communication skills 00:32:53.40\00:32:55.24 that we need for coaching 00:32:55.27\00:32:56.81 which is a little bit different from teaching 00:32:56.84\00:32:58.30 like I have done seminars all my life, right, 00:32:58.33\00:33:00.64 and teaching people how to do things and you know, 00:33:00.67\00:33:04.21 what are choices that are better 00:33:04.24\00:33:05.67 but coaching is where it gives me an opportunity 00:33:05.70\00:33:08.82 to really more affectively come alongside someone 00:33:08.85\00:33:11.53 that wants to make a change and in coaching, 00:33:11.56\00:33:14.58 it's not me telling you what to do, 00:33:14.61\00:33:16.54 it's more about well, what are your goals. 00:33:16.57\00:33:18.85 What do you want to achieve? I like that. 00:33:18.88\00:33:20.85 And then I'll say okay, well, let's work together on that. 00:33:20.88\00:33:24.30 Because sometimes all it takes is some encouragement, 00:33:24.33\00:33:28.42 maybe some accountability. 00:33:28.45\00:33:30.22 Somebody to check in with once a week 00:33:30.25\00:33:32.06 and say how are we doing with the goals you've set 00:33:32.09\00:33:34.10 for yourself and you will see 00:33:34.13\00:33:37.36 yourself making changes that way. 00:33:37.39\00:33:39.92 Because most of us really already know 00:33:39.95\00:33:42.77 things that we need to change. 00:33:42.80\00:33:44.77 Like it's not a lack of information a lot of times. 00:33:44.80\00:33:47.19 It's like I know I should be eating less fat 00:33:47.22\00:33:49.66 or I know I need to be exercising more or I need to, 00:33:49.69\00:33:53.79 you know, do these things to lose weight 00:33:53.82\00:33:55.83 or to feel better or to control my blood pressure, 00:33:55.86\00:33:58.53 maybe to avoid another heart attack. 00:33:58.56\00:34:01.05 You know, these things are important 00:34:01.08\00:34:03.51 and I know that if I make changes, 00:34:03.54\00:34:05.48 I would be able to enjoy that 00:34:05.51\00:34:08.03 but I have a hard time making the changes on my own. 00:34:08.06\00:34:10.11 Of course. 00:34:10.14\00:34:11.21 And a lot of us find that having 00:34:11.24\00:34:12.60 somebody to work with us on it 00:34:12.63\00:34:13.99 can make it really much more effective 00:34:14.02\00:34:16.17 and I just love doing that. 00:34:16.20\00:34:17.74 Because if we look at, you know, 00:34:17.77\00:34:18.83 what are your obstacles, what has stopped you 00:34:18.86\00:34:20.69 from achieving this goal before? 00:34:20.72\00:34:22.01 You know, you wanted to exercise more 00:34:22.04\00:34:23.98 and you knew it was good for you 00:34:24.01\00:34:25.21 but what happened yesterday, you know, 00:34:25.24\00:34:28.20 and so we actually can sit down and kind of break it down 00:34:28.23\00:34:30.20 and say what are the things, you know, 00:34:30.23\00:34:32.77 that you would need to do differently to have 00:34:32.80\00:34:34.52 the time to exercise or-- 00:34:34.55\00:34:36.08 What are the roadblocks? 00:34:36.11\00:34:37.17 Yeah, what are your roadblocks and what are your-- 00:34:37.20\00:34:39.59 you know, you have to come up with the solutions. 00:34:39.62\00:34:41.22 I'm not the answer person but I help you work 00:34:41.25\00:34:44.10 through your own issues and, you know, 00:34:44.13\00:34:47.68 what would work for you and then we try things. 00:34:47.71\00:34:50.10 And sometimes, you know, 00:34:50.13\00:34:51.22 maybe it doesn't work the first time 00:34:51.25\00:34:52.73 and then we will say, okay, in a week what happened? 00:34:52.76\00:34:54.94 What went well, what worked or didn't work 00:34:54.97\00:34:57.42 and we can work together 00:34:57.45\00:35:00.09 that way to have really effective lifestyle change. 00:35:00.12\00:35:02.31 We found that in studies working with diabetics 00:35:02.34\00:35:05.93 especially that just having a coach that follows up 00:35:05.96\00:35:09.39 after doctor's visits or whatever can make 00:35:09.42\00:35:12.77 a great deal of difference in blood sugar control 00:35:12.80\00:35:15.81 and reversal of diabetes. 00:35:15.84\00:35:17.38 And I think that that's just amazing 00:35:17.41\00:35:20.37 and it's just a privilege to work with people 00:35:20.40\00:35:23.29 to help them reach their goals. 00:35:23.32\00:35:24.99 Amen. That's wonderful. 00:35:25.02\00:35:26.11 Because sometimes you know, our family, 00:35:26.14\00:35:27.80 we can, we can connect with our family, 00:35:27.83\00:35:29.47 some people have relationship with their family. 00:35:29.50\00:35:31.91 Now they say, okay, you could be 00:35:31.94\00:35:33.30 my accountability partner, you could help me. 00:35:33.33\00:35:35.08 And then some people maybe don't have 00:35:35.11\00:35:36.96 that support system within their family and-- 00:35:36.99\00:35:39.18 And sometimes having-- It's wonderful. 00:35:39.21\00:35:40.79 Having an outside source, 00:35:40.82\00:35:42.36 having someone who is outside who says, okay, 00:35:42.39\00:35:44.52 I can come alongside you. 00:35:44.55\00:35:45.71 I can provide this encouragement 00:35:45.74\00:35:47.18 I can whatever, that's a wonderful thing. 00:35:47.21\00:35:49.54 And you had some testimonies I know too. 00:35:49.57\00:35:51.71 I know before we go to our next recipe, 00:35:51.74\00:35:54.23 she was sharing with me before just a great story. 00:35:54.26\00:35:57.12 You know, when you go out, 00:35:57.15\00:35:58.18 you do these cooking schools, 00:35:58.21\00:35:59.26 you do tip, you do all of this. 00:35:59.29\00:36:01.31 So tell us one of those? 00:36:01.34\00:36:02.69 Yes, I really enjoyed working 00:36:02.72\00:36:03.98 for a number of years with the CHIP program 00:36:04.01\00:36:06.06 which is the complete health improvement program 00:36:06.09\00:36:09.27 is what it's called now. 00:36:09.30\00:36:10.33 It's not coronary? 00:36:10.36\00:36:11.41 It used to be called 00:36:11.44\00:36:12.49 the Coronary Health Improvement Project. 00:36:12.52\00:36:13.93 I'm behind the times. 00:36:13.96\00:36:15.67 But it's been updated as-- and so now it's known 00:36:15.70\00:36:18.20 as the Complete Health Improvement Program. 00:36:18.23\00:36:19.32 This is the improved CHIP.

00:39:24.96\00:39:27.28 Yeah, most desserts are high in oil 00:39:27.31\00:39:29.19 and high in sugar, yeah. 00:39:29.22\00:39:30.26 Right. 00:39:30.29\00:39:31.33 And so this is still because we are using nuts and dried fruit, 00:39:31.36\00:39:36.03 all of those are kind 00:39:36.06\00:39:37.15 of concentrated nutrient sources 00:39:37.18\00:39:39.59 so you still want to be cognizant of the amount 00:39:39.62\00:39:43.24 that you eat, so you don't want to, you know, 00:39:43.27\00:39:45.54 eat like six of these at one meal 00:39:45.57\00:39:48.16 even though they are really healthy. 00:39:48.19\00:39:49.62 You know, you want to just have them 00:39:49.65\00:39:51.24 in a moderate amount. 00:39:51.27\00:39:52.32 We want temperance. 00:39:52.35\00:39:53.43 Exactly. 00:39:53.46\00:39:55.24 Okay. 00:39:55.27\00:39:56.30 And so let me talk about 00:39:56.33\00:39:57.36 what we are gonna be putting in it. 00:39:57.39\00:39:59.34 The mixtures of dried fruits, 00:39:59.38\00:40:00.59 and we are gonna start here with some pears. 00:40:00.62\00:40:02.30 You can also have like a peach thrown in here. 00:40:02.33\00:40:07.08 So dried fruit and you can use your own combination. 00:40:07.11\00:40:09.70 This is kind of a starter combination 00:40:09.73\00:40:11.50 so this is not something you can ruin 00:40:11.53\00:40:14.07 by changing maybe the amounts of proportions 00:40:14.10\00:40:16.09 or the varieties that you put in. 00:40:16.12\00:40:18.24 But try to you get the unsweetened dried fruit 00:40:18.27\00:40:21.02 rather than sweetened dried fruit. 00:40:21.05\00:40:22.63 Yes. 00:40:22.66\00:40:23.70 And then we put some raisins, we have apricots. 00:40:23.73\00:40:26.12 Apricots, you know, such a great source of vitamin A 00:40:26.15\00:40:29.79 which is antioxidant, it helps to keep us well, 00:40:29.82\00:40:32.45 it's very important nutrient. 00:40:32.48\00:40:34.22 Raisins like grapes have 00:40:34.25\00:40:36.57 a lot of really good antioxidants 00:40:36.60\00:40:40.79 as well for keeping us well. 00:40:40.82\00:40:42.90 And lots of fiber and I love dates. 00:40:42.93\00:40:45.92 You know I think God knew what He was doing 00:40:45.95\00:40:47.62 when He made dates. 00:40:47.65\00:40:48.79 Because they are one of the sweetest fruits 00:40:48.82\00:40:50.34 but they are also the highest fiber fruit out there. 00:40:50.37\00:40:52.65 I didn't know that. 00:40:52.68\00:40:53.93 And so God knew that when we have sweet, 00:40:53.96\00:40:55.85 we need the fiber combined with it 00:40:55.88\00:40:57.48 and so He did that with dates. 00:40:57.51\00:41:00.44 Wow, that's great. 00:41:00.47\00:41:01.84 And then we will put in some nuts, I chose walnuts today. 00:41:01.87\00:41:04.70 You can use pecans, you can use cashews, 00:41:04.73\00:41:07.13 you can use, you know, 00:41:07.17\00:41:08.36 anything you want and we are gonna just sprinkle 00:41:08.39\00:41:10.77 the salt in on top of the ground up fruit. 00:41:10.80\00:41:13.65 So let me talk about grinding it. 00:41:13.68\00:41:15.92 Because these are very sticky fruits I find that a grinder 00:41:15.95\00:41:19.03 is probably the best way to process them. 00:41:19.06\00:41:21.32 If you have a strong food processor you could try it. 00:41:21.35\00:41:24.81 I don't give you any guarantees on the results. 00:41:24.84\00:41:27.23 And you don't have to have a fancy grinder attachment 00:41:27.26\00:41:29.75 like I do for my kitchen aid here. 00:41:29.78\00:41:32.32 I have also made this using 00:41:32.35\00:41:33.98 just a plain old hand crank meat grinder. 00:41:34.01\00:41:36.75 You know, the kind that you attach to your table 00:41:36.78\00:41:38.80 that just has a crank on it 00:41:38.83\00:41:40.72 and use the finest grinder attachment 00:41:40.75\00:41:43.24 and just push your fruit through it. 00:41:43.27\00:41:45.04 And that works good. Okay. 00:41:45.07\00:41:46.55 It needs the screw to push the dried fruit through 00:41:46.58\00:41:49.06 that's really what's the important part of it. 00:41:49.09\00:41:51.22 So I'm gonna ahead and run the fruit through the mill, 00:41:51.25\00:41:53.42 it's gonna make a little noise 00:41:53.45\00:41:54.49 so I won't be talking but you will see 00:41:54.52\00:41:56.25 how it comes out in strings. 00:41:56.28\00:41:57.85 I'm using my smallest grinder attachment. 00:41:57.88\00:42:00.53 Okay. 00:42:00.57\00:42:02.08 We need the other bowl? 00:42:02.11\00:42:03.89 Probably good. 00:42:03.92\00:42:05.07 All right, so you could see 00:43:29.33\00:43:30.39 it kind of comes out in strings. 00:43:30.42\00:43:31.70 I can. 00:43:31.73\00:43:32.79 It kind of got like meat does 00:43:32.82\00:43:34.09 and then I'm just gonna sprinkle my salt 00:43:34.12\00:43:35.74 on there and I kind of mixed up the fruits 00:43:35.77\00:43:38.49 as I ran them through the grinder. 00:43:38.52\00:43:41.11 That way it premixes it but I want to mix it up 00:43:41.14\00:43:44.00 a little bit better and it's so sticky 00:43:44.03\00:43:45.41 I like to use gloves 00:43:45.44\00:43:46.47 for this particular part of the recipe. 00:43:46.50\00:43:47.80 Right. 00:43:47.83\00:43:48.94 I was thinking now how is she gonna mix this? 00:43:48.97\00:43:52.31 Because basically you just want to knead it together. 00:43:52.34\00:43:56.44 Okay. 00:43:56.47\00:43:58.76 So it-- It's got the apricots. 00:43:58.79\00:44:00.29 Yeah, you want to get the blend in there. 00:44:00.32\00:44:03.35 And I tried to kind of mix real sweet fruit 00:44:03.38\00:44:05.88 with the kind of tarter dried fruit like apricots 00:44:05.91\00:44:08.51 and peaches are often not as sweet as dates and raisins. 00:44:08.54\00:44:15.21 Yeah, that's true. Here we go. 00:44:15.24\00:44:19.44 And so if you like it a little bit sweeter, 00:44:19.47\00:44:21.45 you can put a little bit more raisins or dates. 00:44:21.48\00:44:23.53 Or dates or something. 00:44:23.56\00:44:24.64 Yeah, I love the flavor of apricots personally. 00:44:24.67\00:44:27.27 They have a really good flavor. 00:44:27.30\00:44:28.34 So I would like to have a lot of that. 00:44:28.37\00:44:29.40 And then you just pick off little pieces-- 00:44:29.43\00:44:33.02 Okay, so that all there's to it. 00:44:33.05\00:44:34.35 You just put it through it. 00:44:34.38\00:44:35.44 Is basically all and you know, 00:44:35.47\00:44:36.53 I would like the rest of it without my gloves. 00:44:36.56\00:44:39.61 There you go.

I like that. 00:46:16.53\00:46:17.85 Now as we were talking before the program Lucia, 00:46:17.88\00:46:20.38 as we eat healthier, it makes a difference in our mind, 00:46:20.41\00:46:25.98 it makes a difference in our spiritual connection. 00:46:26.01\00:46:28.01 Just this morning I was reading in 1 Corinthians "What? 00:46:28.04\00:46:30.50 Know ye not that your body 00:46:30.53\00:46:31.61 is the temple of the Holy Spirit." 00:46:31.64\00:46:33.00 So you had some story that was really powerful about 00:46:33.03\00:46:36.14 the connection between eating different 00:46:36.17\00:46:38.57 and opening up our mind to God more. 00:46:38.60\00:46:41.72 You know, I was in one of the CHIP classes 00:46:41.75\00:46:43.50 that I really saw that happen. 00:46:43.53\00:46:45.68 We had a gentleman who had been studying 00:46:45.71\00:46:47.46 the Bible for a quite bit of time 00:46:47.49\00:46:49.09 and there were certain teachings 00:46:49.12\00:46:51.37 that he was just having hard time grasping. 00:46:51.40\00:46:54.83 He was like I just-- I just don't see it, 00:46:54.86\00:46:56.10 I don't see how that's so important. 00:46:56.13\00:46:58.45 And his wife had been really trying to implement 00:46:58.48\00:47:01.26 some healthy things and she had been eating 00:47:01.29\00:47:04.29 a plant based diet and feeding her family a plant based diet 00:47:04.32\00:47:07.23 for a number of months, 00:47:07.26\00:47:08.79 but he still like to go out and get his hamburger 00:47:08.82\00:47:11.31 at lunch break or you know, have his coffee in the morning. 00:47:11.34\00:47:14.89 And other than that he had adopted 00:47:14.92\00:47:17.10 a lot of healthy changes in his life. 00:47:17.13\00:47:19.87 But when he came to the CHIP program 00:47:19.90\00:47:21.30 the first week of the program is kind of a cleanse. 00:47:21.33\00:47:24.91 And so we take out everything that's addictive 00:47:24.94\00:47:28.31 and it's very plain food for that first week 00:47:28.34\00:47:30.72 and so there was no coffee for that week there was no-- 00:47:30.75\00:47:37.96 The foods he was used to eat that were not in the program? 00:47:37.99\00:47:39.44 Yeah. 00:47:39.47\00:47:40.50 It was just a healthy stuff, 00:47:40.53\00:47:41.56 mostly whole grains that sort of thing. 00:47:41.59\00:47:43.85 So he went ahead with the cleanse 00:47:43.88\00:47:48.13 and then he came into class just a couple of weeks later 00:47:48.16\00:47:51.93 and he said, you know, funniest thing happened. 00:47:51.96\00:47:54.01 Actually I think I heard the story 00:47:54.04\00:47:55.79 from his wife who told me that, 00:47:55.82\00:47:58.55 he told me this morning when he woke up 00:47:58.58\00:48:00.25 that all of sudden these teachings 00:48:00.28\00:48:02.01 that he had been struggling 00:48:02.04\00:48:03.12 with from the Bible just clicked. 00:48:03.15\00:48:05.64 And he understood them and he was able to move forward 00:48:05.67\00:48:08.45 in his walk with God 00:48:08.48\00:48:09.51 and it was just such a great example to me 00:48:09.54\00:48:11.37 of how even which might seem like small changes 00:48:11.40\00:48:15.41 can make a big change in the ability of our mind 00:48:15.44\00:48:18.24 to hear the Spirit of God speaking to us. 00:48:18.27\00:48:19.83 Amen, amen. 00:48:19.86\00:48:20.89 And to me that's really 00:48:20.92\00:48:21.96 the most important reason for healthy choices. 00:48:21.99\00:48:25.78 It's great to be better with your diabetes, 00:48:25.81\00:48:29.09 to have lower blood sugars, to feel better, it's wonderful. 00:48:29.12\00:48:32.90 But I really believe that God's purpose for us in giving us 00:48:32.93\00:48:37.33 healthy principles by which to live 00:48:37.36\00:48:39.88 was so that we could have a closer walk with Him. 00:48:39.91\00:48:42.34 Because I believe He wants to be able to talk to us 00:48:42.37\00:48:44.49 and He can only do that when we have a clear mind. 00:48:44.52\00:48:46.91 And all of His principles of health are about 00:48:46.94\00:48:49.13 how to have that clarity. 00:48:49.16\00:48:51.00 Amen, that's beautiful. 00:48:51.03\00:48:52.35 That is the whole purpose of eating different. 00:48:52.38\00:48:54.73 You are right, I love that. 00:48:54.76\00:48:55.94 At the end before we go to your address, 00:48:55.97\00:48:57.59 I want to talk about the cookbook one more time. 00:48:57.62\00:48:59.64 Of course you have it in English and in Spanish 00:48:59.67\00:49:01.87 "Flavors of Health" but you have besides recipes, 00:49:01.90\00:49:05.47 you have a lot of a little tips, 00:49:05.50\00:49:07.82 little nuggets of information. 00:49:07.85\00:49:09.54 Where did you find that and came up with that?
