Hello and welcome
to our 3ABN today,
00:01:08.52\00:01:11.76
cooking program.
00:01:11.79\00:01:12.93
We are the "Micheff Sisters."
00:01:12.96\00:01:15.77
I'm Linda. I'm Brenda.
00:01:15.80\00:01:17.41
And I'm Cinda.
00:01:17.44\00:01:18.78
Wonder why if anybody wonders
00:01:18.98\00:01:20.54
why we always
say it in that order?
00:01:20.57\00:01:22.37
Do you know?
00:01:22.40\00:01:23.43
They might be
guessing about that.
00:01:23.46\00:01:24.74
I don't think it's important.
00:01:24.77\00:01:26.20
Oh, yeah.
00:01:26.23\00:01:28.61
Are you wondered
why we always say--
00:01:28.64\00:01:30.14
All right, all
right, I'm the oldest.
00:01:30.17\00:01:33.53
And I'm the middle.
00:01:33.56\00:01:35.06
And I'm the baby.
00:01:35.09\00:01:37.53
Actually it somebody
asked me that recently--
00:01:37.56\00:01:39.64
Oh, my.
00:01:39.67\00:01:40.70
When I was speaking in
Toronto, Canada and they said,
00:01:40.73\00:01:44.29
"Why is that that you girls
always do it the same way?"
00:01:44.32\00:01:48.06
And so I told them they said,
00:01:48.09\00:01:49.54
"well, you got to
share that sometime."
00:01:49.57\00:01:51.20
I said, okay, well,
"Next time, I will."
00:01:51.23\00:01:53.25
And actually Linda named me,
00:01:53.28\00:01:56.54
because when mom
was pregnant with me,
00:01:56.57\00:02:00.53
it was Linda and Brenda
00:02:00.56\00:02:03.06
and Linda just started
calling mom's new baby,
00:02:03.09\00:02:07.87
Cinda and mom liked it.
00:02:07.90\00:02:09.73
So now you know,
00:02:09.76\00:02:12.29
probably more
information than you wanted off.
00:02:12.32\00:02:15.61
But something that I do know
00:02:15.64\00:02:17.08
you're gonna be wanting to know,
00:02:17.11\00:02:18.45
is what are we fixing today?
00:02:18.48\00:02:20.90
What is on the menu?
00:02:20.93\00:02:22.04
Shall we tell them?
00:02:22.07\00:02:23.11
Oh, yes.
00:02:23.14\00:02:24.25
Soup and crackers.
00:02:24.28\00:02:27.10
Daddy's favorite.
00:02:27.13\00:02:28.25
That's right.
00:02:28.28\00:02:29.31
And momma's
favorite for crackers.
00:02:29.34\00:02:30.70
Well daddy's favorite is
actually sandwiches and sou.
00:02:30.73\00:02:33.49
That's right.
00:02:33.52\00:02:34.57
But-- so we'll please
both dad and mom today.
00:02:34.60\00:02:37.51
That's right, because
mom loves the crackers
00:02:37.54\00:02:39.18
and dad loves the soup,
00:02:39.21\00:02:40.25
so we got soup and crackers.
00:02:40.28\00:02:41.83
And I don't know
about you, sisters,
00:02:41.86\00:02:43.66
but I really had a hard time
00:02:43.69\00:02:45.67
narrowing it down to one
recipe to share for soup,
00:02:45.70\00:02:48.68
because we're
doing one recipe for soup
00:02:48.71\00:02:50.35
and one for crackers.
00:02:50.38\00:02:51.54
And I really had a hard time
00:02:51.57\00:02:52.74
because I've so
many soups that I love.
00:02:52.77\00:02:55.66
I love butternut quash soup.
00:02:55.69\00:02:57.27
I just love.
00:02:57.30\00:02:58.33
I love the creamy
soups and I love the--
00:02:58.36\00:03:01.65
I love the hardy
vegetable soups and--
00:03:01.68\00:03:04.29
I love it all.
00:03:04.32\00:03:05.53
I just love soup.
00:03:05.56\00:03:06.70
It's such a comfort food.
00:03:06.73\00:03:08.12
My husband loves
the chunky soups.
00:03:08.15\00:03:10.06
He wants lots of
vegetables, little broth.
00:03:10.09\00:03:13.29
I like lots of broth
and little vegetables.
00:03:13.32\00:03:16.16
So we get along, great.
00:03:16.19\00:03:19.00
And so today, I think we
each chose something different
00:03:19.03\00:03:24.27
obviously because we
think, so much alike,
00:03:24.30\00:03:25.77
we have to share with each other
00:03:25.80\00:03:26.83
what you're doing,
00:03:26.86\00:03:27.90
because we'll end up
doing the same thing.
00:03:27.93\00:03:29.29
Well, it's, whoever gets
the recipe done, the first--
00:03:29.32\00:03:31.85
Ends up with and
celebrate it now.
00:03:31.88\00:03:32.91
And submit it first--
00:03:32.94\00:03:34.17
That's right.
00:03:34.20\00:03:35.23
Well, I have to confess--
00:03:37.01\00:03:39.07
Yes.
00:03:39.10\00:03:40.42
To--how I came
up with my recipe--
00:03:40.45\00:03:43.16
Is I had-- you know,
00:03:43.19\00:03:44.95
I always have a lot
of people over. Yes.
00:03:44.98\00:03:47.02
When I'm home,--
00:03:47.06\00:03:48.11
She's "Ms
Entertainer of the year."
00:03:48.14\00:03:49.24
My house is full of people.
00:03:49.27\00:03:50.49
And so I had a
lot of people over
00:03:50.52\00:03:52.54
and I had bought
a lot of broccoli.
00:03:52.57\00:03:57.18
And so they left,
I mean, I'm saying,
00:03:57.21\00:03:59.85
I had bought a lot of broccoli.
00:03:59.88\00:04:02.78
And so I looked--
How much was that?
00:04:02.81\00:04:05.08
A lot of broccoli,
00:04:05.11\00:04:08.98
and I went-- I think
I'll make broccoli soup.
00:04:09.01\00:04:14.39
And it's delicious.
00:04:14.42\00:04:15.47
Why don't we just share it then
00:04:15.50\00:04:16.54
what we did make? Yes.
00:04:16.57\00:04:17.98
Are you curious?
00:04:18.01\00:04:19.66
I know, I am, I
want Linda's recipe.
00:04:19.69\00:04:21.66
Well, our first recipe that
we're gonna be starting with
00:04:21.69\00:04:23.85
is Linda's recipe-- Yes, right--
00:04:23.88\00:04:26.03
Which is?
00:04:26.06\00:04:27.09
It's my Tomato Black Bean soup.
00:04:27.12\00:04:29.41
And that is delicious.
00:04:29.44\00:04:31.37
And then next on the
agenda is Potato Mushroom Soup,
00:04:31.40\00:04:35.78
and that's
beautiful creamy base soup.
00:04:35.81\00:04:38.61
And it's delicious.
00:04:38.64\00:04:40.00
And then I'll be preparing--
00:04:40.03\00:04:41.09
Creamy
00:04:41.12\00:04:42.18
Creamy broccoli soup,
00:04:42.21\00:04:44.36
and then-- I have
Savory Saltines to share.
00:04:44.39\00:04:48.12
That's right.
00:04:48.15\00:04:49.18
And then I have--And
then Whole Grain Crackers.
00:04:49.21\00:04:51.92
And I have, Wheat Thins.
00:04:51.95\00:04:53.79
Wow, so we have three
different types of crackers,
00:04:53.82\00:04:56.89
three different types of soups.
00:04:56.92\00:04:58.44
I think we're ready to go.
00:04:58.47\00:05:00.06
Which one of we're
gonna start with, right here?
00:05:00.09\00:05:01.79
The tomato black bean.
00:05:01.82\00:05:03.15
All right, do you
want to read the recipe?
00:05:03.18\00:05:04.59
All right, I'll read the recipe.
00:05:04.62\00:05:07.43
Now, if you didn't get all that
00:05:40.44\00:05:42.21
don't worry don't panic.
00:05:42.24\00:05:43.65
In fact, just
relax back in your--
00:05:43.68\00:05:45.05
Right.
00:05:45.08\00:05:46.11
In your chair
and put your feet up
00:05:46.14\00:05:47.46
and just enjoy the program,
00:05:47.49\00:05:49.12
because you can get
those recipes online.
00:05:49.15\00:05:51.38

so you know what
it's supposed to look like

00:06:03.93\00:06:04.96
So don't worry about

00:06:04.99\00:06:07.34
just enjoy the program.
00:06:07.37\00:06:10.12
And if you like
other vegetables, actually
00:06:10.15\00:06:12.78
you can put them in this soup.
00:06:12.81\00:06:14.09
Just add a little bit more water
00:06:14.12\00:06:16.51
and you can add a
little bit pinch more salt
00:06:16.54\00:06:18.65
if you want to make the soup.
00:06:18.68\00:06:21.49
So if you can add
other vegetables with that--
00:06:21.52\00:06:23.32
I just like it simple.
00:06:23.35\00:06:24.38
So that's why--
Well, mom always taught us
00:06:24.41\00:06:26.33
whenever anybody was
coming over unexpectedly,
00:06:26.36\00:06:29.67
just put a little
more water on the soup,
00:06:29.70\00:06:31.30
just do a little
more seasoning in to it,
00:06:31.33\00:06:32.98
and you're good.
00:06:33.01\00:06:34.09
In fact, I have three
cups of water in here,
00:06:34.12\00:06:36.18
but say if I was
gonna-- this cooks down
00:06:36.21\00:06:38.12
and it gets a little thick,
00:06:38.15\00:06:39.90
so like you did
have company coming over,
00:06:39.93\00:06:42.62
you want it to thinner,
00:06:42.65\00:06:43.72
you just put a little more water
00:06:43.75\00:06:45.48
with some more seasoning in it,
00:06:45.51\00:06:46.84
just put it in, and it's fine.
00:06:46.87\00:06:49.44
Or could you turn this
into refrigerator soup.
00:06:49.47\00:06:52.95
You know, refrigerator,
you just dump in every thing
00:06:52.98\00:06:54.70
you have left--
00:06:54.73\00:06:55.79
Oh, I was
wondering what that was.
00:06:55.82\00:06:59.06
Well, I could, if
I knew what it was.
00:06:59.09\00:07:03.65
Whatever is in the
fridge, just dump in there.
00:07:03.68\00:07:04.86
Whatever is in the
refrigerator put it in the soup.
00:07:04.89\00:07:07.90
Well, sis, can
you turn that fire on?
00:07:07.93\00:07:09.15
I can.
00:07:09.18\00:07:10.28
I know, spaghetti soup
might be pretty interesting.
00:07:10.31\00:07:13.55
Do you know what?
00:07:13.58\00:07:14.63
I have put that in soup before,
00:07:14.66\00:07:16.44
and people have loved it.
00:07:16.47\00:07:17.58
It is delicious.
00:07:17.61\00:07:18.77
I've put left over
spaghetti in my soup before--
00:07:18.80\00:07:22.29
And they were like--
wow, this is really good.
00:07:22.32\00:07:24.35
It gives it a wonderful flavor.
00:07:24.38\00:07:26.37
I am gonna put the tomatoes in.
00:07:26.40\00:07:28.39
Okay, sis, you're on.
00:07:28.42\00:07:29.57
I'm gonna make it for you.
00:07:29.60\00:07:30.63
All right.
00:07:30.66\00:07:31.81
All right.
00:07:31.84\00:07:33.11
And then I'm
gonna put the tomatoes
00:07:33.14\00:07:34.76
with the green
chilies that gives out
00:07:34.79\00:07:36.45
just a little bit
of punch to it, spice.
00:07:36.48\00:07:40.71
Okay. I like punch to my soup.
00:07:40.74\00:07:43.10
You do? Okay.
00:07:43.13\00:07:45.11
A right cross, a left cross.
00:07:45.14\00:07:47.86
Okay, and then
we have the celery
00:07:47.89\00:07:50.11
and the carrots.
00:07:50.14\00:07:51.85
And notice that we do have
some color going on in here,
00:07:53.09\00:07:55.90
these onions are pre-cooked,
00:07:55.93\00:07:57.67
so I'm putting
cooked onions in here.
00:07:57.70\00:08:01.76
I just like it better, I
don't always put it in soups,
00:08:01.79\00:08:04.98
but I do like it really done.
00:08:05.01\00:08:06.58
If you watch from any
of our cooking programs
00:08:06.61\00:08:08.73
you soon realize that not
any of us like raw onions.
00:08:08.76\00:08:11.38
So we got our--
00:08:11.41\00:08:12.45
So whatever onions we
do use-- we love onions,
00:08:12.48\00:08:14.13
they just have
to be really dead.
00:08:14.16\00:08:15.94
Now, we've got our black beans.
00:08:15.97\00:08:17.53
Now, we're gonna put in
our Bragg's Liquid Aminos,
00:08:17.56\00:08:20.08
which is an
unfermented soy sauce. So--
00:08:20.11\00:08:23.57
Can I use garlic in it?
00:08:23.60\00:08:24.63
Yes, you can put the garlic in,
00:08:24.66\00:08:26.75
and then we have our
McKay's chicken seasoning.
00:08:26.78\00:08:29.06
It's-- that's one of
my favorite seasonings.
00:08:29.09\00:08:32.44
I'll get it.
00:08:32.47\00:08:33.53
Well, that's
squirt it out there.
00:08:33.56\00:08:34.65
And then we have our, a
little bit of cayenne pepper.
00:08:34.68\00:08:36.93
You can leave it
out, if you don't want it.
00:08:36.96\00:08:39.88
Okay, thanks, sis.
00:08:39.91\00:08:41.84
Let me add a little cumin,
00:08:41.87\00:08:43.99
and then we have our
half a tea spoon of salt.
00:08:44.02\00:08:46.75
Did I leave some in there?
00:08:46.78\00:08:47.86
You did. You know what?
00:08:47.89\00:08:49.30
I know mom's watching,
00:08:49.33\00:08:50.54
so I think you got to
get your better job there.
00:08:50.57\00:08:53.44
We grew up very poor,
00:08:53.47\00:08:55.18
and mom-- Was very good.
00:08:55.21\00:08:56.28
Did not waste anything.
00:08:56.31\00:08:58.61
No.
00:08:58.64\00:08:59.74
And so it has been set in
our minds for all these years.
00:08:59.77\00:09:03.98
Do not waste.
00:09:04.01\00:09:05.39
In fact, we were
visiting mom and dad in this--
00:09:05.42\00:09:08.15
and someone came up for
the church and she said,
00:09:08.18\00:09:10.53
"We just want to know, we
watch your girls cooking,"
00:09:10.56\00:09:12.76
she said, "Do you
really look, watch and see
00:09:12.79\00:09:15.52
if they're getting
everything out the bowl?"
00:09:15.55\00:09:17.08
Mom says, "I sure do."
00:09:17.11\00:09:19.03
But you know what?
00:09:22.12\00:09:23.71
They didn't go in debt--
00:09:23.74\00:09:25.17
No.
00:09:25.20\00:09:26.23
They lived within their
means with five children and--
00:09:26.26\00:09:29.41
So there's something
to be said for sometimes
00:09:29.44\00:09:31.05
being through
ruins and you know,
00:09:31.08\00:09:32.91
not being wasteful
and you know, it's--
00:09:32.94\00:09:36.25
And mom taught us
how to be creative
00:09:36.28\00:09:38.25
with our cooking, too,
because she used what she had.
00:09:38.28\00:09:42.17
You didn't just go to
the grocery store and say,
00:09:42.20\00:09:44.65
"Oh, I'm gonna make this."
00:09:44.68\00:09:46.22
She looked in her cupboard
00:09:46.25\00:09:48.19
and then her
refrigerator and said,
00:09:48.22\00:09:49.81
"Now what can I make from this?"
00:09:49.84\00:09:51.00
I remember when daddy
came home from work one time,
00:09:51.03\00:09:54.78
he saw some little
sausages and he goes,
00:09:54.81\00:09:58.41
"Wow! Sausages."
00:09:58.44\00:10:00.65
And so, it were
vegetarian ones, you know,
00:10:00.68\00:10:02.79
but he picked one up
and ate it and then he goes,
00:10:02.82\00:10:04.81
"Beans, they're beans."
00:10:04.84\00:10:08.40
Mom says, "Well, I just thought
00:10:08.43\00:10:09.81
to shake them a little tempered
00:10:09.84\00:10:11.67
and I'll bake them in the oven."
00:10:11.70\00:10:15.12
We thought they were good.
00:10:15.15\00:10:16.91
Well, something that is good too
00:10:16.94\00:10:19.01
is my Potato Mushroom soup.
00:10:19.04\00:10:21.26
Well, first of all-- Oh, yes.
00:10:21.29\00:10:22.41
Can we show them
what it looks like
00:10:22.44\00:10:23.91
Let's show, when it's
all done, it's all thick.
00:10:23.94\00:10:26.33
Good job, sis.
00:10:26.36\00:10:28.45
And you can see how
that did thicken up.
00:10:28.48\00:10:30.29
It's a thick, hardy soup.
00:10:30.32\00:10:31.71
It is a thick, hardy soup.
00:10:31.74\00:10:32.98
It is.
00:10:33.01\00:10:34.04
It's beautiful and I love
that little garnish on top.
00:10:34.07\00:10:37.10
Now, we're gonna show you
and let me read the recipe
00:10:37.13\00:10:39.25
for my potato mushroom soup.
00:10:39.28\00:10:41.89
Now I absolutely
love mushroom soup. So--
00:11:26.26\00:11:29.16
and I love potatoes.
00:11:29.19\00:11:31.29
And I love potatoes, too.
00:11:31.32\00:11:33.70
And I actually had never
00:11:33.73\00:11:35.95
put this
combination together before
00:11:35.98\00:11:37.75
but when we were getting,
00:11:37.78\00:11:38.84
you know, our soup ideas
together and I've thinking,
00:11:38.87\00:11:41.34
what can I do?
00:11:41.37\00:11:42.42
I haven't done before.
00:11:42.45\00:11:43.59
And it just, you know--
00:11:43.62\00:11:45.00
You said, my sister
Cinda loves potatoes.
00:11:45.03\00:11:48.68
I did think about that.
00:11:48.71\00:11:50.15
I absolutely think about that.
00:11:50.18\00:11:51.77
Anytime I look at a potato,
I do think about you. So--
00:11:51.80\00:11:54.34
Because I look like potato.
00:11:54.37\00:11:55.69
No, you don't look.
And I love mushrooms.
00:11:55.72\00:11:56.97
But I know how
much you love them.
00:11:57.00\00:11:59.12
And so, what I do is,
00:11:59.15\00:12:00.49
I look around my
house when I'm creating,
00:12:00.52\00:12:01.75
what do I have in my fridge?
00:12:01.78\00:12:03.10
That's what I do.
What gives me and idea?
00:12:03.13\00:12:04.78
What I have in my cover?
00:12:04.81\00:12:05.85
What I have here
that I can throw together
00:12:05.88\00:12:07.72
and create a recipe?
00:12:07.75\00:12:09.01
And so that's
how I just came up--
00:12:09.04\00:12:11.06
Because that's
what mom taught us.
00:12:11.09\00:12:12.33
With potatoes, I had
mushrooms on and I was like,
00:12:12.36\00:12:13.93
I have not made a potato
mushroom soup, let's try that.
00:12:13.96\00:12:17.35
So I have for, for time
sake, already pre-cooked them,
00:12:17.38\00:12:22.90
potatoes and the celery and--
00:12:22.93\00:12:26.20
Onions.
00:12:26.23\00:12:27.40
May be just, may be this is hot,
00:12:27.43\00:12:28.47
so let me put this over here.
00:12:28.50\00:12:29.67
And the onions. And onions.
00:12:29.70\00:12:31.15
So what I've done
here, it's all cooked,
00:12:31.18\00:12:34.22
because I wanted to be
able to show rest of the steps,
00:12:34.25\00:12:37.00
when we prepare this.
00:12:37.03\00:12:38.38
Linda has got mushroom sautéing
00:12:38.41\00:12:40.67
in a table spoon
of soy margarine.
00:12:40.70\00:12:42.65
You're gonna sprinkle
that with a little salt.
00:12:42.68\00:12:44.33
And I have chosen to
go with the margarine
00:12:44.36\00:12:47.80
for the flavor.
00:12:47.83\00:12:49.07
If you don't want to
use the soy margarine,
00:12:49.10\00:12:51.59
and you say, "I
don't like using that."
00:12:51.62\00:12:53.00
That's not a problem,
use a drizzle of olive oil,
00:12:53.03\00:12:57.03
or you can use the
nonstick cooking spray,
00:12:57.06\00:12:59.66
even if you want.
00:12:59.69\00:13:00.78
But I like the flavor.
00:13:00.81\00:13:02.30
So that's what, I went with
that for the flavor for this.
00:13:02.33\00:13:05.14
And she's gonna cook those up
00:13:05.17\00:13:06.42
and really get them
nice and golden brown,
00:13:06.45\00:13:08.57
and while that is happening,
you can see, I've got,
00:13:08.60\00:13:11.64
let me get
another spatula over here.
00:13:11.67\00:13:14.31
I've got the--
potatoes are all cooked.
00:13:14.34\00:13:16.31
And what I did when I
started this was I put my water
00:13:16.34\00:13:18.89
in the pan, put the
onions and the celery
00:13:18.92\00:13:21.56
and you let that all
cook and get nice and tender.
00:13:21.59\00:13:26.10
You have to go through
this step first, because,
00:13:26.13\00:13:28.37
otherwise when you add
all your rest ingredients
00:13:28.40\00:13:31.23
in any type of cream
soup, you don't want to cook it
00:13:31.26\00:13:33.64
for a whole long time in there
00:13:33.67\00:13:34.81
because it gets
kind of crudely in,
00:13:34.84\00:13:36.33
you don't want to want
that, it's not gonna be great.
00:13:36.36\00:13:38.35
So you cook until
your potatoes are tender.
00:13:38.38\00:13:40.54
Cook it until potatoes
are tender and Cinda had--
00:13:40.57\00:13:43.40
Then you don't--
No problem checking,
00:13:43.43\00:13:44.87
she actually
tested this to make sure
00:13:44.90\00:13:46.70
the potatoes were tender.
00:13:46.73\00:13:47.77
And they're tender.
00:13:47.80\00:13:48.83
Oh, yes, she loves potatoes.
00:13:48.86\00:13:50.66
you don't drain the water.
00:13:50.69\00:13:51.79
I don't.
00:13:51.82\00:13:52.86
The leftover water
you leave in there.
00:13:52.89\00:13:53.93
That's right.
00:13:53.96\00:13:55.04
And sometimes it
won't be leftover water,
00:13:55.07\00:13:57.17
so you will just
be all, it'll soak,
00:13:57.20\00:13:59.18
you know, cook it right up.
00:13:59.21\00:14:00.47
But now we've got our
unsweetened almond milk,
00:14:00.50\00:14:03.18
and just so you
know, in the recipe,
00:14:03.21\00:14:05.56
I should have put in
there, and separated it,
00:14:05.59\00:14:07.72
should've said slurry
00:14:07.75\00:14:09.10
ingredients, because you might--
00:14:09.13\00:14:11.49
there's almond milk
listed twice and you might go,
00:14:11.52\00:14:13.57
why is there
almond milk listed twice?
00:14:13.60\00:14:15.91
There should've
been a separate thing
00:14:15.94\00:14:17.24
that said slurry,
and then you know,
00:14:17.27\00:14:19.45
the two tablespoons
of the orange starch
00:14:19.48\00:14:21.62
and two tablespoons
of the cold almond milk,
00:14:21.65\00:14:23.66
that was for
your slurry to mix up.
00:14:23.69\00:14:25.73
So don't-- I'm sorry
about that confusion.
00:14:25.76\00:14:28.63
And so sis, would you dump all
00:14:28.66\00:14:30.65
the parsley in
and the celery, salt?
00:14:30.68\00:14:33.79
And so here we go--
00:14:33.82\00:14:36.48
Is she making the
slurry down there?
00:14:36.51\00:14:38.38
And, Cindy, can
you make the slurry?
00:14:38.41\00:14:40.62
Okay.
00:14:40.65\00:14:41.69
And--
00:14:41.72\00:14:42.87
And the reason why
you do this is because
00:14:42.90\00:14:46.51
we're putting
cornstarch into a liquid
00:14:46.54\00:14:49.39
and anytime you add
cornstarch to a liquid,
00:14:49.42\00:14:52.04
you need to make sure
that the liquid is cold.
00:14:52.07\00:14:54.67
That's right. You can get lumps.
00:14:54.70\00:14:55.73
You put
cornstarch into a hot liquid,
00:14:55.76\00:14:57.84
you're gonna
immediately have lumps
00:14:57.87\00:14:59.42
and you will have a really
hard time getting them out.
00:14:59.45\00:15:02.38
That was totally right.
00:15:02.41\00:15:04.55
Lumps are not good.
00:15:04.58\00:15:05.78
And it gives that
such a good flavor.
00:15:05.81\00:15:07.26
Yeah, now I just
added the tofutti
00:15:07.29\00:15:09.13
better than sour cream
00:15:09.17\00:15:10.45
and it's just a vegan
substitute for sour cream
00:15:10.48\00:15:14.58
and it does give it
a nice wonderful flavor
00:15:14.61\00:15:17.22
and you look at that,
00:15:17.25\00:15:18.69
how beautiful that
looks in there, already.
00:15:18.72\00:15:20.57
And you can see that
it's a little bit thin.
00:15:20.60\00:15:22.59
Linda, can you go ahead now?
00:15:22.62\00:15:23.87
Now, I want you to take a look
at these mushrooms over first.
00:15:23.90\00:15:26.12
Can we just take a look
at these to see how golden
00:15:26.15\00:15:29.45
and nice these
just turned out to be?
00:15:29.48\00:15:31.35
Look how nice and golden.
00:15:31.38\00:15:33.02
So now, sis, you're gonna
just put all those in there,
00:15:33.05\00:15:35.77
just tip them in
here, and that's it,
00:15:35.80\00:15:38.62
nice, that's good.
00:15:38.65\00:15:39.90
And then we can
just put that over there.
00:15:39.93\00:15:43.71
And now I've got
the mushrooms in there--
00:15:43.74\00:15:46.86
Looks so good.
00:15:46.89\00:15:47.92
Are you ready for the slurry?
00:15:47.95\00:15:49.27
Ready, now watch.
00:15:49.30\00:15:50.34
You can turn the heat up
on this for me, sis. And--
00:15:50.37\00:15:53.31
Make sure you scrape the sides
with your fork or your whip,
00:15:53.34\00:15:57.57
because-- You want to
make sure that powder is--
00:15:57.60\00:15:59.75
Right.
00:15:59.78\00:16:01.12
Okay, all right.
00:16:01.15\00:16:03.10
Now, as I'm stirring
I just add that slurry
00:16:03.13\00:16:06.34
and you can see it
thicken up almost immediately,
00:16:06.37\00:16:09.40
and sometimes I do
like this to just get
00:16:09.43\00:16:11.91
the little--
less bit of that out.
00:16:11.94\00:16:14.89
And it just
thickens up right away,
00:16:14.92\00:16:18.35
and I don't even
have to put the lid on
00:16:18.38\00:16:20.04
and do anything after that,
00:16:20.07\00:16:21.17
it will just thicken up
and be ready to serving it.
00:16:21.20\00:16:24.45
And it's ready to eat, at
this point it is ready to eat--
00:16:24.48\00:16:27.06
Really? Your potatoes are done.
00:16:27.09\00:16:28.16
Really?
00:16:28.20\00:16:29.26
And your-- oh-- okay,
00:16:29.29\00:16:34.12
well, there you go.
00:16:34.15\00:16:40.43
Here we go.
00:16:40.46\00:16:42.66
I mean, I hear the
sentence ready to eat,
00:16:42.69\00:16:45.80
I need to try it.
00:16:45.83\00:16:47.29
That's your-- well, it hasn't
as thick as it needs to be,
00:16:47.32\00:16:49.96
yeah, because as you can see it,
00:16:49.99\00:16:51.50
I was trying to set
at high as it will go.
00:16:51.53\00:16:53.64
It is as high as it goes.
00:16:53.67\00:16:55.73
All right, well, it
will start bubbling.
00:16:55.76\00:16:57.82
As soon as it starts to bubble
a little bit, it will thicken.
00:16:57.85\00:17:01.29
That is a delicious flavor.
00:17:01.32\00:17:03.67
Very-- oh.
00:17:03.70\00:17:04.98
Well, I want you to
see what it does look like
00:17:05.01\00:17:06.88
all thickened up and
there it is right there,
00:17:06.91\00:17:08.96
and I just put a little sprig
of parsley over the top of it
00:17:08.99\00:17:13.21
and little parsley
flakes and garnish,
00:17:13.24\00:17:16.30
that's all you needed.
00:17:16.33\00:17:17.36
That is delicious, sis.
00:17:17.39\00:17:19.47
And our next recipe,
is yours recipe, sis.
00:17:19.50\00:17:24.00
Creamy broccoli soup.
00:17:24.03\00:17:26.14
Let me read the recipe.
00:17:26.17\00:17:27.31
Well, to save
time I've already--
00:18:04.89\00:18:09.09
I'm gonna tell you what
I've done ahead of time.
00:18:09.12\00:18:11.89
You're gonna take and
put one tablespoon of--
00:18:11.92\00:18:15.39
and you can use canola
oil or extra virgin olive oil,
00:18:15.43\00:18:19.13
and saute your
onion and your celery.
00:18:19.16\00:18:21.94
And then, put your water in,
and then put the potatoes in.
00:18:21.97\00:18:26.11
Let the potatoes
get cook about halfway,
00:18:26.14\00:18:29.88
and then add your broccoli.
00:18:29.91\00:18:31.61
And if you can
see inside this pot,
00:18:31.64\00:18:33.88
I've a lot of broccoli in here.
00:18:33.91\00:18:35.65
Do you want to turn down, sis?
00:18:35.68\00:18:36.73
And we turn like that,
I have a lot of broccoli.
00:18:36.76\00:18:39.57
Can you turn the
heat up a little bit?
00:18:39.60\00:18:42.14
And that's because I have
a lot of broccoli left over.
00:18:42.17\00:18:46.58
But honestly, I
love it with that,
00:18:46.61\00:18:51.47
its just--once you
see how I blend it up,
00:18:51.50\00:18:55.35
you need all
that broccoli, okay.
00:18:55.38\00:18:58.42
So you want your
vegetables to be tender,
00:18:58.45\00:19:01.40
and that's what they are.
00:19:01.43\00:19:03.04
So at this point, I'm
gonna add some margarine
00:19:03.07\00:19:08.14
and you can leave
this out if you want
00:19:08.17\00:19:11.15
but it adds flavor.
00:19:11.18\00:19:13.35
And I wanted just
that little bit of flavor.
00:19:13.38\00:19:17.33
And then I'm going to add
00:19:17.36\00:19:19.27
the McKay's chicken
style seasoning and broth,
00:19:19.30\00:19:23.19
and this is a
vegan and seasoning
00:19:23.22\00:19:27.73
and it's also no MSG.
00:19:27.76\00:19:30.58
So it is one of my
favorite seasoning.
00:19:30.61\00:19:32.98
It's my favorite too.
00:19:33.01\00:19:34.10
I know, it's we all three
of us and we get that from mom.
00:19:34.13\00:19:36.55
And it was mom's favorite too
00:19:36.58\00:19:38.40
I know we get that from mom.
00:19:38.43\00:19:40.09
We got from--
we grew up with it.
00:19:40.12\00:19:41.40
So that's why, you know,
00:19:41.43\00:19:42.56
we are just all comfort with it.
00:19:42.59\00:19:44.57
It's our go to.
00:19:44.60\00:19:45.64
Yes, it is.
00:19:45.67\00:19:46.72
And now I'm gonna add my
nutritional yeast flakes.
00:19:46.75\00:19:52.76
I love those too.
00:19:52.79\00:19:54.05
It gives it a
really nice flavor.
00:19:54.08\00:19:59.61
And make sure
that's stirred up good.
00:19:59.64\00:20:03.34
When you add your water in
your cooking your vegetables,
00:20:03.37\00:20:06.41
make sure you add
your salt at that time
00:20:06.44\00:20:09.90
and I put one to two
teaspoons or to taste.
00:20:09.93\00:20:13.92
And I actually do taste
the water after I add the salt,
00:20:13.95\00:20:17.66
because you don't
want too much salt,
00:20:17.69\00:20:19.45
but you want salt.
00:20:19.48\00:20:20.54
And you're right.
00:20:20.57\00:20:21.60
It makes a difference--
00:20:21.63\00:20:22.70
When you cook with the
salt versus adding it later.
00:20:22.73\00:20:25.01
It's just not incorporated
into the vegetables.
00:20:25.04\00:20:27.22
Right.
00:20:27.25\00:20:28.28
I can tell a pasta, or
a vegetable,or a potato
00:20:28.31\00:20:33.98
that has been
cooked, boiled without salt,
00:20:34.01\00:20:37.06
I can't eat it.
00:20:37.09\00:20:38.17
It just tastes...
00:20:38.20\00:20:39.23
But if you're on a no-salt
diet, or a low salt diet--
00:20:39.26\00:20:42.66
You make those
changes in your body.
00:20:42.69\00:20:44.20
Probably, they're accustomed
00:20:44.23\00:20:45.26
your pallet is
already accustomed to it,
00:20:45.29\00:20:46.93
you're probably
gonna be just fine.
00:20:46.96\00:20:48.53
Right.
00:20:48.56\00:20:49.72
So and then, can I
have that whisk, please?
00:20:49.75\00:20:52.82
I'm going to--
this is my cornstarch,
00:20:52.85\00:20:56.56
and like we've said previously,
00:20:56.59\00:20:58.57
you always add it to a cold
00:20:58.60\00:21:03.08
and so I'm gonna add that,
00:21:03.11\00:21:04.59
and also if you
like a thinner soup,
00:21:04.62\00:21:08.46
you cannot put it
quite as much cornstarch.
00:21:08.49\00:21:13.84
I like it thick and my
husband likes it thick,
00:21:13.87\00:21:16.66
so I've put in the extra.
00:21:16.69\00:21:21.40
If there's-- its
some sort of soup,
00:21:22.12\00:21:23.40
there's some soups I really
preferred to be a thin soup,
00:21:23.43\00:21:26.40
there's other soups
that just taste good
00:21:26.43\00:21:28.07
if they're a
little bit thicker, hardy.
00:21:28.10\00:21:29.45
And in some you want a brothy,
00:21:30.83\00:21:32.37
more brothy and
not a creamy soup.
00:21:32.40\00:21:35.92
I like a nice thick creamy soup.
00:21:35.95\00:21:37.94
Yeah.
00:21:37.97\00:21:39.34
And it gets thick, pretty fast.
00:21:39.37\00:21:42.91
So, I'm gonna take
and pour it in, now,
00:21:42.94\00:21:47.71
and this is our almond milk,
00:21:47.74\00:21:50.66
make sure you get
all that in. I like--
00:21:50.69\00:21:52.61
You can-- there's people that--
00:21:52.64\00:21:54.98
if you don't have almond
milk and you have soymilk,
00:21:55.01\00:21:57.23
you could
probably use a substitute,
00:21:57.26\00:21:59.05
it's just a flavor.
00:21:59.08\00:22:00.12
Use your favorite,
00:22:00.15\00:22:01.18
'cause everybody
has favorites. I mean--
00:22:01.21\00:22:03.66
I hardly-- I don't
even buy soymilk anymore,
00:22:03.69\00:22:06.79
my family just
loves the almond milk
00:22:06.82\00:22:08.93
and so that's why,
what we drink in our home,
00:22:08.96\00:22:10.87
so it's usually
what I cook with.
00:22:10.90\00:22:12.61
But I will tell
you-- is that up high?
00:22:12.64\00:22:15.93
I will tell you, I don't--
Use like the coconut milk,
00:22:15.96\00:22:20.56
I save that for
different recipes,
00:22:20.59\00:22:22.67
but this is a real savory recipe
00:22:22.70\00:22:24.26
and I didn't like the flavor,
00:22:24.29\00:22:26.46
and so I did
a-- that's why I did
00:22:26.49\00:22:28.12
the almond or the soy,
00:22:28.15\00:22:30.16
'cause you don't want
the flavor of your milk
00:22:30.19\00:22:32.53
to overpower your soup.
00:22:32.56\00:22:34.22
Make sure when
you're getting your milk
00:22:34.25\00:22:35.74
that you don't get the
vanilla flavored almond milk-
00:22:35.77\00:22:37.61
Yes, yes.
00:22:37.64\00:22:38.67
You know, that's
kind of a problem.
00:22:38.70\00:22:40.17
Yes, I said original flavor.
00:22:40.20\00:22:43.01
And I use sometimes
the vanilla flavored ones,
00:22:43.04\00:22:45.86
like when I make cookies or
cakes or something like that.
00:22:45.89\00:22:49.62
Right, and for the sweeter ones
00:22:49.65\00:22:51.54
you don't need the unsweetened.
00:22:51.57\00:22:52.94
So right. Right.
00:22:52.97\00:22:55.48
And this just-- as it
heat, it's going to get
00:22:55.51\00:23:00.37
a little bit
thicker and then what I do,
00:23:00.40\00:23:06.30
is I take an immersion blender.
00:23:06.33\00:23:08.51
Now, if you do not
have an immersion blender,
00:23:08.54\00:23:12.06
there's a couple
ways you could do this.
00:23:12.09\00:23:14.76
You could get a
masher, and mash it up,
00:23:14.79\00:23:18.37
because your
vegetables are tender,
00:23:18.40\00:23:20.28
and so they-- what
I'm trying to do is,
00:23:20.31\00:23:22.59
break it up and incorporate
it into some of the liquid,
00:23:22.62\00:23:26.46
because it just gives
you a really rich flavor.
00:23:26.49\00:23:30.22
Or you could take,
like two cups of it,
00:23:30.25\00:23:34.60
or may be, depending on
what your blender will hold
00:23:34.63\00:23:38.82
and you want to be careful,
because it's a hot mixture.
00:23:38.85\00:23:42.27
So you would want to take
it one to two cups at a time,
00:23:42.30\00:23:45.13
put it in your
blender, blend it up,
00:23:45.16\00:23:47.44
and then put it back in here.
00:23:47.47\00:23:49.37
But I don't do all of it,
00:23:49.40\00:23:51.77
because I want a
little bit of chunky,
00:23:51.80\00:23:53.77
but I want a lot of
it, smooth and creamy.
00:23:53.80\00:23:58.43
Yeah, that's
where we get our creamy.
00:23:58.46\00:23:59.89
And it is delicious.
00:23:59.92\00:24:00.96
Let me have that
spoon one more time,
00:24:00.99\00:24:02.21
I want to see it that's--
00:24:02.24\00:24:03.54
because when this
starts, you want to make sure--
00:24:03.57\00:24:07.04
It'll thicken,
even if it's blended.
00:24:07.07\00:24:08.68
Oh, it'll thicken even
if it's blended up, exactly.
00:24:08.71\00:24:12.01
So I'm gonna take
my immersion blender--
00:24:12.04\00:24:14.69
I love my immersion blender,
and you just turn it on,
00:24:14.72\00:24:19.70
if I could... and
blend and start blending.
00:24:19.73\00:24:23.96
And you're gonna,
I don't know how much
00:24:23.99\00:24:25.86
you can see of this,
but you're gonna see that--
00:24:25.89\00:24:28.87
yeah, sis, go ahead,
tip that a little bit,
00:24:28.90\00:24:30.99
so they can see it.
00:24:31.02\00:24:32.93
And see how it's blending up.
00:24:32.96\00:24:34.40
Yeah.
00:24:34.43\00:24:35.65
Okay, go ahead, back down.
00:24:35.68\00:24:36.92
All right.
00:24:36.95\00:24:37.98
I need to get those
big broccoli florets
00:24:38.01\00:24:43.43
and mix them up
00:24:43.46\00:24:45.50
and you can hear that every time
00:24:48.37\00:24:49.83
you hit a piece of broccoli.
00:24:49.86\00:24:51.68
Well, when you bring
it back up to the surface,
00:24:51.71\00:24:55.01
but you see how it's
getting different colors,
00:24:55.04\00:24:57.74
and I'm gonna have a
little bit of chunks in it
00:24:57.77\00:24:59.83
but not a lot
and I'll show you how
00:24:59.86\00:25:03.51
it gets up to be
a rich green color.
00:25:03.54\00:25:06.40
And the potatoes, in
there, give it fullness too.
00:25:07.28\00:25:13.35
They get to help
to thicken as well.
00:25:13.38\00:25:15.63
And now you'll just
want to cook a little bit,
00:25:15.66\00:25:18.32
and I'm gonna
tip it a little bit,
00:25:18.35\00:25:20.31
so you can see it.
00:25:20.34\00:25:21.37
Can you see inside?
00:25:21.40\00:25:22.45
See how nice and rich that got,
00:25:22.48\00:25:24.23
and that's really
pretty green color.
00:25:24.26\00:25:26.48
And so now you would want,
00:25:26.51\00:25:28.20
at this time baby sit this.
00:25:28.23\00:25:31.15
Yes-- Seriously.
00:25:31.18\00:25:32.22
You don't want to burn
the bottom of your pan.
00:25:32.25\00:25:34.30
You want to stir
it, until it gets thick,
00:25:34.33\00:25:37.46
because it gets thick--
00:25:37.49\00:25:38.69
It'll ruin your
day, let me tell you.
00:25:38.72\00:25:39.79
Right, all of a
sudden, it gets thick--
00:25:39.82\00:25:41.78
Then there done that.
00:25:41.81\00:25:42.87
And it will
scourge and you cannot get
00:25:42.90\00:25:45.62
that flavor out. So--
00:25:45.65\00:25:46.79
Of course, if you do it once
you won't forget. So you know--
00:25:46.82\00:25:49.07
Yeah, yeah, then I
prepared some ahead of time,
00:25:49.10\00:25:52.83
and I'll show you
what it looks like.
00:25:52.86\00:25:54.57
And she just garnished
with just a little red pepper
00:25:54.60\00:25:57.14
and some rosemary sprigs
and a little bit of paprikas,
00:25:57.17\00:26:01.34
our grandmother
Micheff would say.
00:26:01.37\00:26:03.12
Yes.
00:26:03.15\00:26:04.22
Well, we
finished our three soups
00:26:04.25\00:26:06.08
and we're gonna show
you some three crackers.
00:26:06.11\00:26:09.78
And I think it's
the savory saltines.
00:26:09.81\00:26:13.25
All right, why don't you
read the recipe for them, sis?
00:26:13.28\00:26:15.45
I love going over to
moms, because a lot of time,
00:26:35.11\00:26:38.10
she'll have, homemade crackers.
00:26:38.13\00:26:40.45
And I really like mom's
crackers better than anybody.
00:26:40.48\00:26:43.08
They're my
favorite. I do too, mom.
00:26:43.11\00:26:44.91
But I love my
sister's crackers too
00:26:44.94\00:26:46.70
and the ones
that I'm making now,
00:26:46.73\00:26:48.65
my family likes
them really well,
00:26:48.68\00:26:50.29
but mom just has a
knack, for making crackers.
00:26:50.32\00:26:53.57
She inspired all our recipes.
00:26:53.60\00:26:55.90
We had mom on
the program, with us,
00:26:55.93\00:26:57.62
once before, for
Mother's Day program.
00:26:57.65\00:26:59.25
We need to do
that again sometime.
00:26:59.28\00:27:00.76
Wouldn't you like to have
mom on the program, with us?
00:27:00.79\00:27:03.45
Well, for this I'm gonna put
00:27:03.48\00:27:04.65
all my dry ingredients together,
00:27:04.68\00:27:06.50
my unbleached flour,
00:27:06.53\00:27:08.38
my half a cup of
whole wheat flour.
00:27:08.41\00:27:10.90
I'm going to put my baking
soda and it is aluminum free,
00:27:10.93\00:27:15.98
so we kind of use in home,
and this is my sea salt here,
00:27:16.01\00:27:21.42
yep and I have McKay's
style chicken seasoning.
00:27:21.45\00:27:26.63
And so I'm gonna
mix this all together.
00:27:26.66\00:27:30.80
All stirred up.
00:27:30.83\00:27:32.34
Okay, we're kind of
make a well in the middle,
00:27:35.43\00:27:37.44
and I'm gonna put my--
00:27:37.47\00:27:39.09
that's just for the
variant and the season salt,
00:27:39.12\00:27:43.76
this is optional.
00:27:43.79\00:27:45.97
And I'm gonna
put my water in here
00:27:46.00\00:27:48.72
and depending on
the types of flour,
00:27:48.75\00:27:50.56
you may need a
little bit cold water,
00:27:50.59\00:27:53.76
but I have some over here,
just in case I might need it.
00:27:53.79\00:27:57.45
Well, different
flours are different.
00:27:57.48\00:27:59.22
Yeah, some take more.
00:27:59.25\00:28:01.03
And the flour
correction is different as well.
00:28:01.06\00:28:02.41
Also, depending on, like, you
have to always check the store,
00:28:02.44\00:28:07.35
the bag, before you buy it.
00:28:07.38\00:28:09.12
Because there's
an expiration date
00:28:09.15\00:28:10.72
and if your
flour is out of date,
00:28:10.75\00:28:13.37
it is not gonna be good.
00:28:13.40\00:28:15.23
And you can smell flour.
Smell if it is fresh or not.
00:28:15.26\00:28:18.06
If you smell, it
smells a little bit rancid,
00:28:18.09\00:28:21.47
you know immediately
that you got that you know,
00:28:21.50\00:28:25.68
bad flour, old flour.
00:28:25.71\00:28:28.13
Okay, with these crackers here,
00:28:28.16\00:28:31.59
we're gonna just put it in here
00:28:31.62\00:28:33.50
and you don't really
need to spray the pan,
00:28:33.53\00:28:36.26
sometimes I spray my hands.
00:28:36.29\00:28:39.41
But I think I'll use
some gloves, this time.
00:28:39.44\00:28:41.79
Is that, so you can go,
like this, like lick your hand?
00:28:41.82\00:28:44.32
No, no.
00:28:44.35\00:28:45.40
I don't think so.
Okay, we're gonna--
00:28:47.70\00:28:50.10
I'm gonna put on my gloves,
00:28:50.13\00:28:51.25
'cause this will go a lot faster
00:28:51.28\00:28:52.60
and they won't stick
to my hands that way.
00:28:52.63\00:28:55.54
Even if I have washed my
hands, it just works better.
00:28:55.57\00:28:58.61
Okay, now I'm gonna push it in.
00:28:58.64\00:29:00.86
I'll put it like here and
you just work it to the sides
00:29:00.89\00:29:03.46
and you make it
as thin as you want.
00:29:03.49\00:29:05.47
Okay.
00:29:09.61\00:29:12.03
And that's also
personal thing to,
00:29:12.06\00:29:13.91
if you want thin
crackers or thicker crackers.
00:29:13.94\00:29:16.85
Some of my
crackers I like them thicker
00:29:16.88\00:29:19.07
and then there are some types
of crackers I like thinner.
00:29:19.10\00:29:22.11
I'm pretty much a thin
cracker girl, I love crackers.
00:29:24.55\00:29:27.05
Well, there's something--
00:29:27.08\00:29:28.86
There's some I like thick.
00:29:28.89\00:29:31.04
It's almost like a
wafer or a biscuit.
00:29:31.07\00:29:33.10
I do like my biscuits.
00:29:33.13\00:29:35.33
Well, this is something
as we say all the time,
00:29:39.96\00:29:42.46
this is a family thing.
00:29:42.49\00:29:43.52
You can get it to this point,
00:29:43.55\00:29:45.33
and if you're making
too batches of crackers,
00:29:45.36\00:29:47.26
you can hand
this off to your kids
00:29:47.29\00:29:48.71
and they can
just pad it in place.
00:29:48.74\00:29:51.32
You know, I remember,
as kids, we've done that.
00:29:51.35\00:29:54.01
Yes, that's what mom would do.
00:29:54.04\00:29:56.08
Because she'd have
to make quite a bit,
00:29:56.11\00:29:57.63
so she was double
batching a lot of stuff.
00:29:57.66\00:30:00.27
And she had our
brothers in, too.
00:30:00.30\00:30:02.03
All five of us,
were in the kitchen,
00:30:02.06\00:30:03.89
cooking with her,
00:30:03.92\00:30:05.17
and she gave
each one of us jobs.
00:30:05.20\00:30:07.66
Do you know, one
of the things that,
00:30:07.69\00:30:09.22
as I have--
every year I get older,
00:30:09.25\00:30:11.70
I think, I love mom
more and appreciate her more.
00:30:11.73\00:30:15.88
And I don't think I
ever truly appreciated her,
00:30:15.91\00:30:18.03
until I had children of my own.
00:30:18.06\00:30:20.15
I never realized
how much work she did.
00:30:20.18\00:30:21.96
That's what I'm saying.
00:30:21.99\00:30:23.69
She made it looked easy.
00:30:23.72\00:30:24.85
So I didn't think
anything till about it.
00:30:24.88\00:30:27.01
But I think about mom,
how she was so patient.
00:30:27.04\00:30:30.91
I think about
how, you know, she was,
00:30:30.94\00:30:32.88
you know, to have five kids
00:30:32.91\00:30:34.33
and keep us in the
kitchen working with her.
00:30:34.36\00:30:36.25
That requires a lot of patience.
00:30:36.28\00:30:37.46
It'd been so much easier
for her to shoo us outside,
00:30:37.49\00:30:39.68
and let her just do it.
00:30:39.71\00:30:41.07
And, but we wouldn't
have learned anything.
00:30:41.10\00:30:43.12
But you know, sis, this morning,
00:30:43.15\00:30:44.85
just in fact, just this morning,
00:30:44.88\00:30:46.44
when we were getting
ready to come over here--
00:30:46.47\00:30:49.46
We were talking about
mom and both of us said,
00:30:49.49\00:30:52.96
all three of us said,
00:30:52.99\00:30:54.46
"We can't
remember, mom, ever, ever"--
00:30:54.49\00:30:58.59
Not ever.
"Thinking of just herself."
00:30:58.62\00:31:00.55
No, she didn't.
00:31:00.58\00:31:01.94
Like doing
something for herself.
00:31:01.97\00:31:04.14
She had her every
thought, every single day, was,
00:31:04.17\00:31:07.87
"What can I do
first for, you kids?
00:31:07.90\00:31:10.32
What can I do for your dad?
00:31:10.35\00:31:11.49
What can I do for the neighbors?
00:31:11.52\00:31:12.92
What can I do for the church?"
00:31:12.95\00:31:14.48
I mean she was
always thinking about
00:31:14.51\00:31:17.05
"What can I do for others?"
00:31:17.08\00:31:18.53
And I've never seen mom
make a selfish decision.
00:31:18.56\00:31:20.59
Ever.
00:31:20.62\00:31:21.74
Even that, you know,
even think of herself,
00:31:21.77\00:31:23.50
for a small thing.
00:31:23.53\00:31:24.80
I mean, she just, she doesn't.
00:31:24.83\00:31:26.35
I thought she was--
00:31:26.38\00:31:27.41
I didn't realize that
she never got new things,
00:31:27.44\00:31:29.53
I mean, if we needed something,
00:31:29.56\00:31:31.89
we were the ones that got it,
00:31:31.92\00:31:34.40
but mom would without, smiling,
00:31:34.43\00:31:36.36
wearing the old same
thing, every Sabbath,
00:31:36.39\00:31:38.14
I just thought,
she liked the dress.
00:31:38.17\00:31:39.73
I didn't know.
00:31:39.76\00:31:40.96
Didn't know, and she
just is, she really--
00:31:40.99\00:31:44.27
She never said, "Ah,
kid, I need some me-time.
00:31:44.30\00:31:48.24
I need to get away from my,
00:31:48.27\00:31:49.95
you know, you guys,
go in there and play
00:31:49.98\00:31:52.52
or I'm having someone coming."
00:31:52.55\00:31:54.19
I mean, she never did that.
00:31:54.22\00:31:55.36
Do you know, I've never had--
00:31:55.39\00:31:56.43
Hold your
thought, just a minute.
00:31:56.46\00:31:57.56
I'm gonna cut it
into, a 10 this way,
00:31:57.59\00:32:00.69
and like, I divided
in half and I'll put--
00:32:00.72\00:32:03.33
cut five cuts on each side,
00:32:03.36\00:32:05.09
and then I'm gonna go
this way, and I'll do six.
00:32:05.12\00:32:07.26
So you get like 60
crackers, so about this big.
00:32:07.29\00:32:11.20
Okay. Now, keep going.
00:32:11.23\00:32:12.97
I was just gonna say that
I've never had an earthly hero.
00:32:13.00\00:32:17.65
I was never one
of those teenagers
00:32:17.68\00:32:19.12
that had a poster about
my bed or some kind of thing.
00:32:19.15\00:32:22.05
But if I was to
have an earthly hero,
00:32:22.08\00:32:24.63
it would be mom.
00:32:24.66\00:32:25.86
Absolutely.
00:32:25.89\00:32:27.65
She's been such
a, just a tremendous.
00:32:27.68\00:32:30.71
Hands down. Yes.
00:32:30.74\00:32:32.32
Hands down, all three of us.
00:32:32.35\00:32:33.97
And when I was speaking in--
00:32:34.00\00:32:37.14
At Philip island in
Australia, mom went with me,
00:32:37.17\00:32:41.21
and it was first trip that
mom and I had gone anywhere
00:32:41.24\00:32:43.79
and done anything together.
00:32:43.82\00:32:45.47
And I was so blown away,
with the reception mom got
00:32:45.50\00:32:49.21
from the ladies there.
00:32:49.24\00:32:50.46
I mean, they were
so excited to see her.
00:32:50.49\00:32:52.84
And one lady came up to her,
00:32:52.87\00:32:54.85
and I thought she
was coming up to me,
00:32:54.88\00:32:56.65
we're both
sitting on the front row,
00:32:56.68\00:32:57.90
and the lady was making a b-row,
00:32:57.93\00:32:59.56
beeline for us, and she came,
00:32:59.59\00:33:02.05
and I thought she
was coming to see me,
00:33:02.08\00:33:03.48
and she got down on
her knees in front of mom,
00:33:03.51\00:33:06.11
and tears were just
rolling down her cheeks,
00:33:06.14\00:33:08.15
and she was giving mom a gift,
and she just took mom's face,
00:33:08.18\00:33:11.83
and she just kissed both
cheeks and she just said,
00:33:11.86\00:33:14.31
"I thought I would have to wait
to heaven to get to meet you."
00:33:14.34\00:33:17.70
She said, "I
wanted to meet you."
00:33:17.73\00:33:18.97
So mom started crying.
And it was so precious.
00:33:19.00\00:33:23.90
Now, you poke it,
just poke it with a fork,
00:33:23.93\00:33:25.85
I do like about three
or four pokes, per cracker.
00:33:25.88\00:33:31.89
And this is the fun part.
00:33:31.92\00:33:32.95
And there's one over
there, you can do it.
00:33:32.98\00:33:35.08
Ah, there's the fun
thing, just poke along.
00:33:35.11\00:33:37.37
And I have-- we
have some already made,
00:33:37.40\00:33:39.37
so you can see
what they're like.
00:33:39.40\00:33:40.50
But on this one--
How would it be baked?
00:33:40.53\00:33:43.25
I bake it at 350, for about
15, 20 minutes approximately,
00:33:43.28\00:33:48.23
or until it looks like
that kind of a golden color.
00:33:48.26\00:33:51.59
And on top, sometimes, I
might sprinkle season salt,
00:33:51.62\00:33:54.72
sometimes I
want an onion flavor,
00:33:54.75\00:33:56.23
so I'll sprinkle
onion, powder on it--
00:33:56.26\00:33:58.42
Before it's baked.
00:33:58.45\00:33:59.52
Before it's baked,
sometimes I'll sprinkle
00:33:59.55\00:34:01.34
before it's baked,
I'll put garlic powder.
00:34:01.37\00:34:03.95
So you can put any
seasoning you want it.
00:34:03.98\00:34:05.28
Your favorite seasoning
on top, whatever you want.
00:34:05.31\00:34:08.30
That's it. Now, that's great.
00:34:08.33\00:34:09.64
That's just it.
Well, you know what?
00:34:09.67\00:34:11.35
Brenda has a cracker,
and sis, why don't you read
00:34:11.38\00:34:15.02
the recipe for your crackers?
00:34:15.05\00:34:16.27
Exactly, "Whole grain crackers,"
00:34:16.30\00:34:18.29
for this you'll need...
00:34:18.32\00:34:20.20
I'm the one that likes
really crispy, thin crackers.
00:34:41.73\00:34:45.48
And so-- I like them too.
00:34:45.51\00:34:46.87
Any cracker I'm gonna
make, is going to be thin.
00:34:46.90\00:34:48.26
I mean, I like them too.
00:34:48.29\00:34:49.47
It's just I like
some thicker ones, too.
00:34:49.50\00:34:51.16
I just don't
like the thicker ones,
00:34:51.19\00:34:52.49
that's my problem.
00:34:52.52\00:34:55.08
So this is gonna be a nice thin.
00:34:55.11\00:34:56.92
I got a little
trick up my sleeve here,
00:34:56.95\00:34:58.63
to, you know, yeah, she
sure got to check my sleeve out.
00:34:58.66\00:35:02.62
She does.
00:35:02.65\00:35:04.89
So first, we're
going to take our water
00:35:04.92\00:35:07.24
and our oil, and Linda
if you'd mix that in there
00:35:07.27\00:35:09.12
and you're going
to whisk that together
00:35:09.15\00:35:10.72
and just to
emulsify those two together.
00:35:10.75\00:35:12.99
Sis, you're going to just put
all these ingredients in bowl
00:35:13.02\00:35:17.04
and this is our wheat
germ, look how much wheat germ.
00:35:17.07\00:35:18.86
That's our white
whole wheat flour
00:35:18.89\00:35:20.82
and the white
whole wheat flour is,
00:35:20.85\00:35:22.91
every bit of nutritious
as a regular whole wheat,
00:35:22.94\00:35:25.78
it's just a lighter flavor,
00:35:25.81\00:35:27.12
and also lighter
texture for baking.
00:35:27.15\00:35:29.55
And then, put our flaxseed
in, our ground flaxseed,
00:35:29.58\00:35:32.81
our sesame seeds,
and also our sugar,
00:35:32.84\00:35:36.87
and then I'm going to--
can you mix that up in there,
00:35:36.90\00:35:40.96
because as soon as she adds up,
00:35:40.99\00:35:42.30
I'm gonna put my
trusty kitchen gloves on here.
00:35:42.33\00:35:45.57
Is that good enough?
00:35:45.60\00:35:47.02
You got to whip it
together really good,
00:35:47.05\00:35:48.29
and I want to
emulsify that really well.
00:35:48.32\00:35:51.11
Makes a nice sound, too.
00:35:51.14\00:35:54.71
Okay, I'm gonna just get
my gloves in here just inside.
00:35:54.74\00:35:57.40
Okay, now, Linda,
I'm gonna have you,
00:35:57.43\00:36:01.95
just I'm gonna make
a well in the middle.
00:36:01.98\00:36:04.79
She's having too much
fun, tell her to stop.
00:36:04.82\00:36:06.94
Okay, lets make a
well real quick here.
00:36:06.97\00:36:11.77
Okay, and let me
just start with this
00:36:14.21\00:36:17.54
and I'm going to...
00:36:17.57\00:36:20.69
just till you want to mix
until all the moisture is...
00:36:20.72\00:36:26.23
corporated into
the dry ingredients.
00:36:26.26\00:36:29.77
And so, sometimes I
just get it started with this
00:36:29.80\00:36:33.51
and I'll get my gloves
in here and do it by hand.
00:36:33.54\00:36:38.35
There you go, and I'm just going
00:36:38.38\00:36:41.11
to just mix that up really good.
00:36:41.14\00:36:45.45
And this takes no time.
00:36:45.48\00:36:46.51
You can see how fast
00:36:46.54\00:36:47.57
it is to make
these cracker recipes.
00:36:47.60\00:36:51.37
You can make your
recipes at home faster
00:36:51.40\00:36:54.07
than you went to the store
00:36:54.10\00:36:55.16
and pick and
bought it off the shelf,
00:36:55.19\00:36:56.93
and it'll taste a
whole lot better to you
00:36:56.96\00:36:59.55
and better for you.
00:36:59.58\00:37:00.72
And it's a lot cheaper.
00:37:00.75\00:37:01.97
And a lot
healthier, because you know,
00:37:02.00\00:37:03.46
what's going in those,
00:37:03.49\00:37:05.26
and you're getting
all the, you know--
00:37:05.29\00:37:07.81
The ingredients
with that big long words
00:37:07.84\00:37:09.98
that you can't understand.
00:37:10.01\00:37:11.26
That's right, now, you see,
00:37:11.29\00:37:13.82
how I'm gonna take half of these
00:37:13.85\00:37:17.20
and this is, may be a little
more than half in this one,
00:37:17.23\00:37:19.51
because this is
a little bigger pan
00:37:19.54\00:37:20.84
than your normal size pan.
00:37:20.87\00:37:22.88
And this is my
little trick up the sleeve,
00:37:22.91\00:37:24.47
I was telling you about.
00:37:24.50\00:37:26.33
If you use a regular
rolling pin on this to roll it,
00:37:26.36\00:37:29.09
because of the size
of this, it will not--
00:37:29.12\00:37:32.14
well you can show it.
00:37:32.17\00:37:33.58
See, it won't go far enough.
00:37:33.61\00:37:35.35
I actually have a
little rolling pin at home.
00:37:35.38\00:37:37.63
I know you do, I
love your rolling pin.
00:37:37.66\00:37:39.27
But if you don't have
one of those rolling pins,
00:37:39.30\00:37:41.83
like Cinda, guess
what, I've got a can of corn.
00:37:41.86\00:37:46.00
Who doesn't have a can of corn?
00:37:46.03\00:37:47.61
But she hasn't opened the can.
00:37:47.64\00:37:48.71
Did you see that can
come right out of my sleeve?
00:37:48.74\00:37:50.65
Did you see that? I did.
00:37:50.68\00:37:52.08
So all you gonna have to
do, and if you don't like corn,
00:37:52.11\00:37:55.11
try a can of peas, or
green beans, or whatever.
00:37:55.14\00:37:57.10
Just make sure you
wash the can first.
00:37:57.13\00:37:58.70
Exactly, see so--
00:37:58.73\00:38:00.00
I actually use can of
jalapeno peppers for mine.
00:38:00.03\00:38:05.51
And so all I'm gonna
do, is gonna just keep...
00:38:05.54\00:38:10.68
Doing like this just--
You're getting them thin.
00:38:10.71\00:38:13.89
Yeah, I've to have mine thin.
00:38:13.92\00:38:15.91
I got to tell you that, I
don't need a thick cracker,
00:38:15.94\00:38:19.40
I just don't like
them, but I love crackers.
00:38:19.43\00:38:21.81
So let's see here. Here we go.
00:38:21.84\00:38:28.47
Just look how nice
and smooth, that is.
00:38:28.50\00:38:33.26
And this is probably
like-- this is an oversized pan.
00:38:33.29\00:38:37.74
So you're really looking at...
00:38:37.77\00:38:41.09
at probably I think I can put
00:38:41.12\00:38:42.62
a little more dough in
here, Cinda, on this side,
00:38:42.65\00:38:44.80
because this is a
little bit bigger pan
00:38:44.83\00:38:48.52
than a normal size.
00:38:48.55\00:38:51.63
It's just more like
00:38:51.66\00:38:52.75
a commercial grade
booking, baking pan here.
00:38:52.78\00:38:56.71
And let's see,
this is coming together?
00:38:56.74\00:39:01.38
Not bad, is it? Looks good.
00:39:01.41\00:39:04.48
They were yummy
crackers too, I snitched them.
00:39:04.51\00:39:09.50
Now, the truth is told.
00:39:09.53\00:39:12.17
Now I can tell you, I got a
little too much, may be now.
00:39:12.20\00:39:16.74
I got ahead of myself, sis--
00:39:16.77\00:39:18.39
Because you really
don't like thick crackers.
00:39:18.42\00:39:21.06
No, I don't.
00:39:21.09\00:39:24.59
They got to be thinner;
00:39:24.62\00:39:25.66
I just don't like
eating them. So here you go.
00:39:25.69\00:39:29.61
I guess I just like eating.
00:39:29.64\00:39:31.44
Yeah.
00:39:31.47\00:39:33.14
Look how, this soup
can did that for me, see.
00:39:33.17\00:39:38.51
And I'll just touch up.
00:39:38.54\00:39:39.84
Well, you know, we can
just put that soup can--
00:39:39.87\00:39:41.50
Or a corn can.
We can leave that--
00:39:41.53\00:39:43.33
Oh, yeah, that's a
corn can, I'm sorry.
00:39:43.36\00:39:45.00
Thanks for
keeping me honest there.
00:39:45.03\00:39:46.19
You can just leave
that corn can right there,
00:39:46.22\00:39:47.95
because I'm gonna use it next.
00:39:47.98\00:39:49.65
But isn't that also--
00:39:49.68\00:39:50.93
And who doesn't have a can
of corn lying around you know?
00:39:50.96\00:39:54.62
Look how nice
and smooth that is.
00:39:54.65\00:39:56.93
Isn't that nice and smooth?
00:39:56.96\00:39:58.59
All right, so
now, I'm just gonna do
00:39:58.62\00:40:00.74
the same thing Linda did.
00:40:00.77\00:40:01.92
And you can cut
these in any size you want.
00:40:01.95\00:40:06.81
I'm probably gonna make a
little bit bigger cracker.
00:40:06.84\00:40:09.52
Let's see here, and just
it, there's no rhyme or reason,
00:40:09.55\00:40:13.57
if you like big
crackers, little crackers,
00:40:13.60\00:40:15.58
if you even like
bigger than that.
00:40:15.61\00:40:16.91
Let me guess.
00:40:16.94\00:40:18.17
You like, not
only like thin crack--
00:40:18.20\00:40:21.57
crispy crackers, you
like big thin crispy crackers.
00:40:21.60\00:40:25.30
Well, that could be the case.
00:40:28.14\00:40:31.26
Now, see, now I need
some regular table salt,
00:40:31.29\00:40:34.36
some sea salt.
00:40:34.39\00:40:35.95
All right, I'm on
it. And here we go.
00:40:35.98\00:40:39.74
And this is how
your salt has to be on--
00:40:41.47\00:40:43.50
You pricked it at all? I do.
00:40:43.53\00:40:45.61
But I'll go ahead and
just sprinkle at this point,
00:40:45.64\00:40:48.00
and I'll just
sprinkle my salt, like this,
00:40:48.03\00:40:49.84
and I like sea
salt, I was not on board
00:40:49.87\00:40:52.72
with all the gourmet, sea salts
00:40:52.75\00:40:54.80
and Himalaya salts
and everything, until...
00:40:54.83\00:40:57.56
my daughter Linda
Kay was-- you know,
00:40:59.63\00:41:02.31
had these beautiful pink,
you know, Himalayan sea salt
00:41:02.34\00:41:05.17
and stuff and she goes,
"Mom, taste the difference."
00:41:05.20\00:41:07.14
Oh, well, I thought,
00:41:07.17\00:41:08.20
oh, they're all
salty, you know, it's good,
00:41:08.23\00:41:10.16
but you know what,
I tasted a soup course
00:41:10.19\00:41:12.79
one time, and it
tasted almost metallic to me.
00:41:12.82\00:41:14.59
And I think, "That's
really nuts, that's crazy,
00:41:14.62\00:41:16.49
how come I've a
metallic taste in soup?"
00:41:16.52\00:41:19.25
And then I remembered
what my daughter said,
00:41:19.28\00:41:20.99
you know, she goes,
00:41:21.02\00:41:22.10
"Mom, sometimes you
get that metal taste."
00:41:22.13\00:41:23.96
I'm like, "I don't know,
there's metal taste for salt."
00:41:23.99\00:41:26.40
Oh, boy, did I hear it,
see it, taste the metal--
00:41:26.43\00:41:28.53
I knew, what she
was talking about.
00:41:28.56\00:41:30.21
I'm a believer, I took all
the old salt out of my house,
00:41:30.24\00:41:32.88
I only use sea salt now.
00:41:32.91\00:41:34.30
So I sprinkled
in-- I use sea salt.
00:41:34.33\00:41:36.57
If you do not have
to use it at this point,
00:41:36.60\00:41:38.57
but if you're
gonna put salt on it,
00:41:38.60\00:41:40.07
do it before you bake it.
00:41:40.10\00:41:41.58
You're going to bake
it at 325 degree oven,
00:41:41.61\00:41:46.28
for about 20, 25 minutes,
00:41:46.31\00:41:49.51
sometimes longer,
depending on your oven.
00:41:49.54\00:41:51.55
My oven, at
home took 30 minutes.
00:41:51.58\00:41:53.13
So you want it to
be, cracker, crispy.
00:41:53.16\00:41:57.19
So if you-- I'll take an
edge and I'll bend a little bit,
00:41:57.22\00:41:59.73
if it bends too much, I know,
00:41:59.76\00:42:01.04
I have to bake
it a tiny bit more.
00:42:01.07\00:42:02.91
And I do put the pricks in
as well, just like Linda did.
00:42:02.94\00:42:07.52
So we already shared, we
showed you how to do that.
00:42:07.55\00:42:09.77
So it's the same way.
00:42:09.80\00:42:11.22
Won't bore you with
that, but, right now,
00:42:11.25\00:42:13.92
I already have
some, already crispy,
00:42:13.95\00:42:15.63
ready, sis, you want to
go, try one of those for them?
00:42:15.66\00:42:17.61
Do I even need to be asked?
00:42:19.00\00:42:21.93
Well, Cinda, is
our official taster,
00:42:21.96\00:42:23.73
so, you know, I
got to have her taste,
00:42:23.76\00:42:26.00
I got to tell those
story on you first, sis.
00:42:26.03\00:42:28.29
I was speaking at
a church recently,
00:42:28.32\00:42:31.42
down in Sanford, Florida,
at the Spring Meadow Church,
00:42:31.45\00:42:34.38
and the lady come
up to me and she goes,
00:42:34.41\00:42:35.85
"You know, I watched your
cooking show, this last week,"
00:42:35.88\00:42:37.90
and she said,
00:42:37.93\00:42:38.98
"I'm not trying
that dish you made."
00:42:39.01\00:42:40.14
I said, "Why?" she said,
00:42:40.17\00:42:41.20
"Cinda didn't try
it, if she didn't try it,
00:42:41.23\00:42:43.11
it can't be that good."
00:42:43.14\00:42:44.25
And I think, "Oh, dear."
00:42:45.58\00:42:48.05
So please, try my crackers.
00:42:48.08\00:42:51.11
Well, I'm gonna see, if
they're crisp when they break.
00:42:51.14\00:42:54.19
Listen.
00:42:54.22\00:42:55.54
You heard that. Yeah, yeah.
00:42:58.13\00:42:59.84
I hear it too in the crunch.
00:43:01.76\00:43:04.13
Well, it gets,
eight plus on crispy,
00:43:04.16\00:43:08.48
eight plus on crunch,
eight plus on thinness,
00:43:08.51\00:43:13.86
well, it might
get a C-minus on size.
00:43:13.89\00:43:16.46
I need a lot bigger next time.
00:43:19.88\00:43:21.45
Well, our cracker, that I know,
00:43:21.48\00:43:23.73
you're gonna give an A-plus too,
00:43:23.76\00:43:25.16
is, Cinda's, next
recipe, Wheat thin crackers.
00:43:25.19\00:43:29.04
You want me to
read that recipe, sis?
00:43:29.07\00:43:30.42
She's got her mouth full
right now, just a moment.
00:43:30.45\00:43:33.04
For this you'll need...
00:43:33.07\00:43:34.92
And that's it.
00:43:57.20\00:43:59.06
I'm calling these
wheat thins for Brenda,
00:43:59.09\00:44:02.81
because she loves wheat thins.
00:44:02.84\00:44:06.52
And I'm actually
gonna roll them out
00:44:06.55\00:44:08.05
a little thinner
than I usually do.
00:44:08.08\00:44:11.27
But you can either
roll them out thick or thin.
00:44:11.30\00:44:15.01
Crackers, as you can
tell, are really simple.
00:44:15.04\00:44:18.70
So I really encourage you
to get your kids involved.
00:44:18.73\00:44:23.78
In fact, I and
Brenda, at Brenda's--
00:44:23.81\00:44:27.24
this is Brenda's creation,
00:44:27.27\00:44:30.14
I've just
finished taping a week,
00:44:30.17\00:44:33.81
then I got a
couple more weeks to tape,
00:44:33.84\00:44:35.73
but taping a
brand new cooking show,
00:44:35.76\00:44:38.90
for Tiny Tots, in the kitchen.
00:44:38.93\00:44:40.63
Well, can I just
interrupt you a second?
00:44:40.66\00:44:42.19
'Cause it's not my creation.
00:44:42.22\00:44:43.73
I really believe, it
was Holy Spirit inspired.
00:44:43.76\00:44:45.87
I was praying and praying,
00:44:45.90\00:44:47.56
and I know that we needed
more programs for Tiny Tots,
00:44:47.59\00:44:50.59
not just programs for,
you know, the older kids.
00:44:50.62\00:44:54.30
You know, to have one
program for Tiny Tots,
00:44:54.33\00:44:56.20
that's not enough.
00:44:56.23\00:44:57.44
And so I believe,
God really impressed me
00:44:57.47\00:44:59.43
to ask you to do that,
and I think he impressed,
00:44:59.46\00:45:01.36
Cinda, to say, yes.
00:45:01.39\00:45:03.07
It's a 15 minute
worship program that she taped,
00:45:03.10\00:45:05.69
and a 15 minute cooking program,
00:45:05.72\00:45:08.06
so there's two
new Tiny Tot programs
00:45:08.09\00:45:10.47
coming out in
the next few months,
00:45:10.50\00:45:12.13
and I'm really excited about it.
00:45:12.16\00:45:13.71
And she did an
incredible job. Yes, she did.
00:45:13.74\00:45:16.06
Just an incredible job on
it. And so did the crew and--
00:45:16.09\00:45:18.21
God was with us all.
00:45:18.24\00:45:20.01
Directing the set, we
did an amazing job so.
00:45:20.04\00:45:21.78
But where I was
going with all of this?
00:45:21.81\00:45:24.94
You wanted to know this, right?
00:45:24.97\00:45:26.59
Is, this week is a
little bit different cooking,
00:45:26.62\00:45:29.79
because I actually did crackers,
00:45:29.82\00:45:31.67
with the tiny tots, but
I had a two year old here,
00:45:31.70\00:45:36.68
and a six year old here,
and I had a three year old here,
00:45:36.71\00:45:41.87
and a six year old there.
00:45:41.90\00:45:44.05
So if Linda and
I suck our thumbs,
00:45:44.08\00:45:45.47
will you feel better?
00:45:45.50\00:45:46.53
No, Tiny Tots are not like that,
00:45:46.56\00:45:48.03
they have to
wash their hands first
00:45:48.06\00:45:49.29
and they're not allowed to have
their hands in their mouth--
00:45:49.32\00:45:50.61
Good plan. And, but it--
00:45:50.64\00:45:53.44
Miss Cinda, do you
want to do the whip?
00:45:53.47\00:45:55.75
That's, that's it,
and if I ask you to help--
00:45:55.78\00:45:58.86
I got to go party. Oh,
now, that happened a lot.
00:45:58.89\00:46:02.49
And I would say, we
had a little two year old,
00:46:02.52\00:46:05.22
she was just as
precious as she could be,
00:46:05.25\00:46:08.96
and I would say, "Cadence,
would you like to help?"
00:46:08.99\00:46:11.95
Because she was
measuring like this, I'd say,
00:46:11.98\00:46:14.18
"Okay, you want to
put the wheat germ in?
00:46:14.21\00:46:16.48
Okay, now, we got to
get our measuring cup."
00:46:16.51\00:46:18.83
And I'd have her
measuring cup, and I'd say,
00:46:18.86\00:46:20.59
"Okay, put your measuring cup."
00:46:20.62\00:46:22.09
And my director
is, Rodney Laney,
00:46:22.12\00:46:24.26
and so I have an
ear piece in my ear,
00:46:24.29\00:46:27.07
where he can talk to me,
00:46:27.10\00:46:28.22
because there's
so much going on,
00:46:28.25\00:46:30.17
it helps me to know,
what all the kids are doing.
00:46:30.20\00:46:33.64
So I'm over here,
helping in, and he goes,
00:46:33.67\00:46:35.82
"Cinda, you might
want to help, Cadence."
00:46:35.85\00:46:38.47
And I look
over, and she's going,
00:46:38.50\00:46:41.46
"One cup, two cups."
00:46:41.49\00:46:46.80
And then I would turn
to help her, and it'd go,
00:46:51.70\00:46:55.73
"The little two
year old on your right,"
00:46:55.76\00:46:57.99
yeah, "She's pouring
that"-- and I'd be like,
00:46:58.02\00:47:01.09
"Oh, oh, honey, we
need to not take our whip,
00:47:01.12\00:47:03.98
and put it in our hair,
because that's where they go."
00:47:04.01\00:47:07.00
So is that little saner...
00:47:08.97\00:47:11.82
So this is really different.
00:47:11.85\00:47:15.80
But they love it.
00:47:15.83\00:47:16.96
I can't wait for
you, to see the program.
00:47:16.99\00:47:18.53
It is really-- they're awesome.
00:47:18.56\00:47:19.67
They loved making crackers.
00:47:19.70\00:47:21.97
And I like to sneak
in healthy ingredients.
00:47:22.00\00:47:27.34
So we have whole wheat
flour, we have wheat germ,
00:47:27.37\00:47:30.73
we snuck in flaxseed, and--
00:47:30.76\00:47:33.71
This is the toasted wheat
germ, and they liked them.
00:47:33.74\00:47:37.27
And I put in-- oh,
here's the flaxseed,
00:47:37.30\00:47:40.24
I put in the
flaxseed, and I put in,
00:47:40.27\00:47:42.96
just a little bit of brown sugar
00:47:42.99\00:47:45.50
for sweetness
for them, and they--
00:47:45.53\00:47:49.52
this is how, I mean,
00:47:49.55\00:47:50.68
I would tell them
to use their hands,
00:47:50.71\00:47:53.05
because I had them wash
their hands, they love it.
00:47:53.08\00:47:56.50
The little-- they would giggle,
00:47:56.53\00:47:58.20
even the six year
olds would giggle.
00:47:58.23\00:47:59.67
I don't think, you
could probably find any gloves
00:47:59.70\00:48:01.24
that would fit
those little fingers.
00:48:01.27\00:48:02.57
No, no, they had so
much fun and this is so--
00:48:02.60\00:48:08.10
I really encourage you,
00:48:08.13\00:48:09.88
to get your kids
involved in helping you,
00:48:09.91\00:48:13.07
your grandkids.
00:48:13.10\00:48:14.13
You know what?
00:48:14.16\00:48:15.58
If you look in your church,
00:48:15.61\00:48:17.02
there might be a single mother,
00:48:17.05\00:48:18.52
there might be a
busy mom, I mean,
00:48:18.55\00:48:21.28
they're too busy parents,
00:48:21.31\00:48:23.38
who work all the time
and don't have the time
00:48:23.41\00:48:25.23
with their
children, that you could say,
00:48:25.26\00:48:27.54
"Hey, you know, would you
like to bring your kids over,
00:48:27.57\00:48:30.10
and I'll take them
for couple of hours?"
00:48:30.13\00:48:31.91
That's right.
00:48:31.94\00:48:32.99
What're we gonna
do, with this over here?
00:48:33.02\00:48:34.07
You know what? What a ministry.
00:48:34.10\00:48:35.49
Will salt go in here?
Okay, salt would go in here.
00:48:35.52\00:48:38.76
Okay.
00:48:38.79\00:48:40.08
I'm gonna make sure
we get all that out.
00:48:40.11\00:48:41.43
This is our agave nectar. No.
00:48:41.46\00:48:43.65
That's a little
bit of oil. Okay.
00:48:43.68\00:48:46.71
And also I wanted to tell you,
I wanted the flavor of this,
00:48:46.74\00:48:50.25
so I'm gonna add
the oil in the center,
00:48:50.28\00:48:52.17
I'm gonna add all my wet
ingredients into the center.
00:48:52.20\00:48:55.17
If you don't want
to use the margarine,
00:48:55.20\00:48:57.35
you can use
olive oil, if you want.
00:48:57.38\00:48:58.94
You let the water in here?
00:48:58.97\00:49:00.00
And you can use--
yes, you can use oil,
00:49:00.03\00:49:03.05
you can use any
kind of the oil you want,
00:49:03.08\00:49:05.82
and if you want to
sneak in healthier oils,
00:49:05.85\00:49:08.32
you could even use a walnut oil.
00:49:08.35\00:49:11.25
With your moment over
here, I'd try to help you out.
00:49:11.28\00:49:14.42
And you want to--
00:49:14.45\00:49:16.23
again, mix to
incorporate, all of this--
00:49:16.26\00:49:21.09
you want to get all your dry
ingredients, incorporated in,
00:49:21.12\00:49:25.34
to the liquid,
until it makes a ball,
00:49:25.37\00:49:28.30
and at this point, I'm
gonna get my gloves on.
00:49:28.33\00:49:31.43
These things are
wonderful kitchen helpers,
00:49:31.46\00:49:33.50
I'll tell you that.
00:49:33.53\00:49:34.61
Yes, all last week,
I didn't wear gloves,
00:49:34.64\00:49:36.67
because I didn't
have any little enough,
00:49:36.70\00:49:38.82
for the tiny tots enough.
00:49:38.85\00:49:40.16
If I'd have put the gloves
on, they would've wanted it.
00:49:40.19\00:49:44.27
And so, we didn't do it that
way, in the tiny tot kitchen.
00:49:44.30\00:49:50.16
Linda, hosts Tiny
Tots, and so, Linda,
00:49:50.19\00:49:54.75
have we spent 13 years,
00:49:54.78\00:49:57.25
together taping Tiny
Tots and we've been in the--
00:49:57.28\00:50:00.79
I'm always having Linda
in the kitchen too with us,
00:50:00.82\00:50:03.29
on the regular Tiny Tot program.
00:50:03.32\00:50:05.23
So she knows what it's
like to have the tiny tots.
00:50:05.26\00:50:09.31
It's fun.
00:50:09.34\00:50:10.59
So what I'm gonna
do, this is getting
00:50:10.62\00:50:12.95
all incorporated into it,
00:50:12.98\00:50:15.21
and also, if you don't
have to watch the Tiny Tots,
00:50:15.24\00:50:20.17
if they want to taste the dough,
00:50:20.20\00:50:22.18
because you don't have
any harmful ingredients
00:50:22.21\00:50:24.67
that they can't just taste.
00:50:24.70\00:50:26.47
You know, what's interesting
to me, too, just like bread,
00:50:26.50\00:50:28.92
there's so many different
kinds of bread recipes,
00:50:28.95\00:50:31.92
and with basic same ingredients
00:50:31.95\00:50:34.56
and yet all the bread
turns out differently--
00:50:34.59\00:50:37.00
I'll take that corn, please.
00:50:37.03\00:50:38.94
Oh, there you go,
one corn can coming up.
00:50:38.97\00:50:41.75
And just like the
bread recipes that vary from
00:50:41.78\00:50:44.26
whatever country you go to,
they're same basic ingredients,
00:50:44.29\00:50:48.08
all different kinds of
tastes and textures of bread.
00:50:48.11\00:50:50.79
Same with crackers, you know,
00:50:50.82\00:50:52.23
there's lot of
similarities in the ingredients,
00:50:52.26\00:50:54.06
but they're all different.
00:50:54.09\00:50:55.61
They are. They taste different.
00:50:55.64\00:50:57.13
They taste different,
the texture is different,
00:50:57.16\00:50:59.83
but like I said, you
can make, these crackers,
00:50:59.86\00:51:04.85
you can change,
make them to your taste,
00:51:04.88\00:51:07.05
you can add olive
oil, if you add olive oil,
00:51:07.08\00:51:10.82
it'll be a little bit different.
00:51:10.85\00:51:12.65
You know, and so
you can do that too.
00:51:12.68\00:51:15.63
Sometimes I
make a sweet cracker,
00:51:15.66\00:51:18.01
so I don't put as much,
like oil in, I will substitute,
00:51:18.04\00:51:22.27
pure maple syrup,
and put some of that in.
00:51:22.30\00:51:25.13
I like that, too.
00:51:25.16\00:51:27.22
Well, you know, we
have, my sisters and I have
00:51:27.25\00:51:30.93
six cookbooks out, and--
00:51:30.96\00:51:33.59
Before you tell them
that, can you tell them,
00:51:33.62\00:51:35.34
how to bake this?
00:51:35.37\00:51:36.60
Oh, I guess, I
should tell you that.
00:51:36.63\00:51:39.28
The cookbook will tell you. No.
00:51:39.31\00:51:41.07
You're gonna roll this out--
00:51:44.16\00:51:45.82
I am gonna roll this out thin.
00:51:45.85\00:51:47.24
I'm gonna square
it just like they did.
00:51:47.27\00:51:49.45
I don't sprinkle, on the
top with salt, but you can,
00:51:49.48\00:51:53.16
and I bake them at
325 for 15 to 20 minutes.
00:51:53.19\00:51:58.10
They're gonna look like this.
00:51:58.13\00:51:59.37
But baby-sit your
crackers, too, because,
00:51:59.40\00:52:01.91
if you would not
roll them out, evenly,
00:52:01.94\00:52:04.54
part of the pan
will bake faster.
00:52:04.57\00:52:06.52
Thinnest part will bake faster.
00:52:06.55\00:52:07.64
The ends, I
usually take out first.
00:52:07.67\00:52:09.59
And so you don't--
you want to make sure,
00:52:09.62\00:52:12.99
you're there in the
kitchen to watch them, okay?
00:52:13.02\00:52:15.97
And baking it how
long? For 15 to 20 minutes.
00:52:16.00\00:52:19.08
Bakes at-- 325.
00:52:19.11\00:52:21.05
There you go.
00:52:21.08\00:52:22.15
So now, back to the cookbooks,
we're going to show you,
00:52:22.18\00:52:24.98
