Hello, and welcome
to 3ABN Today Cooking.
00:01:09.13\00:01:12.80
The word for today is yummy.
00:01:12.83\00:01:17.51
I'm Yvonne Lewis-Shelton,
00:01:17.54\00:01:19.17
and I'm so excited
to have our guest chef
00:01:19.21\00:01:22.48
with us, Leslie Caza.
00:01:22.51\00:01:24.95
Thank you so much.
00:01:24.98\00:01:26.31
It's good to be here, Yvonne.
00:01:26.35\00:01:27.68
Oh, it's great to have you.
00:01:27.72\00:01:29.05
Thank you.
00:01:29.08\00:01:30.42
So, Leslie, let's find
out a little bit about you.
00:01:30.45\00:01:32.59
How did you get
into vegan cooking?
00:01:32.62\00:01:36.12
Well, I've always
been interested in cooking.
00:01:36.16\00:01:37.99
As a matter of fact, as a child,
00:01:38.03\00:01:39.36
I had a little
bread baking business.
00:01:39.39\00:01:41.43
I put the bread in
my wagon and go around
00:01:41.46\00:01:43.10
the neighborhood and sell bread.
00:01:43.13\00:01:44.47
Oh.
00:01:44.50\00:01:45.83
And, but I didn't know
about healthy cooking until
00:01:45.87\00:01:47.70
I became a
Seventh-day Adventist.
00:01:47.74\00:01:50.01
The training that I
got in culinary art school
00:01:50.04\00:01:52.44
was better in sugar and
all the regular things just
00:01:52.47\00:01:57.28
that restaurants want to serve
not necessarily for health.
00:01:57.31\00:02:00.22
So when I became a
Seventh-day Adventist,
00:02:00.25\00:02:02.28
the pastor asked me a
little bit about myself,
00:02:02.32\00:02:04.79
I told him about my
training and he said,
00:02:04.82\00:02:06.49
"Great, you can do
00:02:06.52\00:02:07.86
our vegetarian cooking schools."
00:02:07.89\00:02:09.22
I knew nothing.
00:02:09.26\00:02:11.09
So I started a great research
trying recipes that people
00:02:11.13\00:02:14.46
would bring to potluck
and making them my own.
00:02:14.50\00:02:17.07
And I began to
become more interested
00:02:17.10\00:02:19.23
in nutrition as well as cooking.
00:02:19.27\00:02:20.74
So enjoy reading,
00:02:20.77\00:02:22.20
I enjoy
experimenting in the kitchen,
00:02:22.24\00:02:24.94
and it's a nice way to
meet people in the community.
00:02:24.97\00:02:26.98
Right now, vegetarianism
and veganism is hot.
00:02:27.01\00:02:30.05
Yes.
00:02:30.08\00:02:31.41
So it's a wonderful way to
reach out in the community.
00:02:31.45\00:02:34.65
It's such a
great way to evangelize
00:02:34.68\00:02:37.49
because you can get people
to come in and learn new dishes
00:02:37.52\00:02:41.62
and teach them
about their health.
00:02:41.66\00:02:42.99
Yes.
00:02:43.02\00:02:44.36
And then, of course,
teaching them about Jesus.
00:02:44.39\00:02:45.99
That's absolutely right.
00:02:46.03\00:02:47.36
So, that's tremendous.
00:02:47.40\00:02:48.86
And look at how God used
00:02:48.90\00:02:50.47
your culinary
arts school training.
00:02:50.50\00:02:54.34
You could use some of
it and discard some of it.
00:02:54.37\00:02:57.64
And now you're doing
this which is phenomenal.
00:02:57.67\00:03:00.11
Tell us about the
ministry that you have now?
00:03:00.14\00:03:03.01
Right now we're doing a
ministry out of our church
00:03:03.04\00:03:05.85
called Simply Vegan
and Wellness in Memphis,
00:03:05.88\00:03:08.95
that's a monthly class.
00:03:08.98\00:03:10.89
And then we wanted to be able
to reach the community better.
00:03:10.92\00:03:13.69
So we started doing
classes also in public library.
00:03:13.72\00:03:17.43
So we have two public libraries
00:03:17.46\00:03:19.73
that we do a one hour
program in once a month,
00:03:19.76\00:03:22.56
and then we do our
about a two hour program
00:03:22.60\00:03:26.17
in our church and
we invite the people
00:03:26.20\00:03:27.80
from the library classes
00:03:27.84\00:03:29.17
to come to get
additional training
00:03:29.20\00:03:30.64
in the church.
00:03:30.67\00:03:32.01
And it's a very nice way,
00:03:32.04\00:03:34.71
they're to the point now
00:03:34.74\00:03:36.08
where they own
our church kitchen,
00:03:36.11\00:03:37.75
they love being there
00:03:37.78\00:03:39.45
and we've become a
family within a family.
00:03:39.48\00:03:41.38
Nice. It's very nice.
00:03:41.42\00:03:42.78
I like what you did too,
00:03:42.82\00:03:44.22
you start in a neutral place
and let them get comfortable
00:03:44.25\00:03:48.22
with you and then bring
them to the church kitchen.
00:03:48.26\00:03:50.79
Yes.
00:03:50.83\00:03:52.16
I think that's very wise.
00:03:52.19\00:03:53.70
That's a very wise move.
00:03:53.73\00:03:55.13
How many people do you
normally have in your classes?
00:03:55.16\00:03:57.50
We're normally about 20,
00:03:57.53\00:03:59.73
so it's a very workable size.
00:03:59.77\00:04:01.60
Yes.
00:04:01.64\00:04:02.97
We do a health presentation,
00:04:03.00\00:04:04.34
we do some
cooking demonstrations
00:04:04.37\00:04:05.87
and we serve a full dinner.
00:04:05.91\00:04:07.88
So it's a nice evening out
00:04:07.91\00:04:09.64
as they get to know
each other and at work.
00:04:09.68\00:04:12.31
So, yes. Oh, that is so good.
00:04:12.35\00:04:14.72
I love to see
innovative ways to reach people.
00:04:14.75\00:04:17.69
Answer with prayer.
00:04:17.72\00:04:19.19
Yes, yes, yes, with
the message of Jesus,
00:04:19.22\00:04:22.06
so that's great.
00:04:22.09\00:04:23.43
Well, let's try
these yummy recipes.
00:04:23.46\00:04:25.26
Okay.
00:04:25.29\00:04:26.63
Let's look at what
we're gonna make today.
00:04:26.66\00:04:28.00
We're going to make
French toast casserole
00:04:28.03\00:04:30.67
and a maple nut soft serve.
00:04:30.70\00:04:33.00
Yes.
00:04:33.03\00:04:34.37
Baked breakfast grains
and quinoa breakfast bowl.
00:04:34.40\00:04:38.77
And oh, garbanzo old waffles.
00:04:38.81\00:04:41.58
Oh, we're gonna have some
serious breakfast food here.
00:04:41.61\00:04:45.45
Apricot sauce and a
glorified applesauce topping.
00:04:45.48\00:04:50.15
Yummy.
00:04:50.19\00:04:51.52
Okay, let's get started.
00:04:51.55\00:04:52.89
Are you ready to go?
00:04:52.92\00:04:54.26
Yeah, let's look
at the ingredients
00:04:54.29\00:04:55.62
for the first recipe.
00:04:55.66\00:04:56.99
So for French toast casserole:
00:04:57.03\00:04:58.59
Very good.
00:05:28.92\00:05:30.26
Okay, well, we're going to start
00:05:30.29\00:05:31.89
with our casserole dish.
00:05:31.93\00:05:33.26
Okay.
00:05:33.29\00:05:34.63
Yvonne, you could
just give it a quick spray.
00:05:34.66\00:05:36.00
Sure.
00:05:36.03\00:05:37.37
And we will get
this ready. Okay.
00:05:37.40\00:05:38.73
We've got our bread cubes here.
00:05:38.77\00:05:41.70
A lot of times children
don't like whole grain breads
00:05:41.74\00:05:45.44
because they're
too coarse for them.
00:05:45.47\00:05:48.18
But in this particular recipe,
00:05:48.21\00:05:49.61
you can get
really good hearty bread
00:05:49.64\00:05:51.41
if you want it
because we're going to put
00:05:51.45\00:05:53.28
a liquid topping
over it and bake it
00:05:53.31\00:05:56.18
so it will soften
it up very nicely.
00:05:56.22\00:05:57.79
It's a great way to
sneak those whole grain fibers
00:05:57.82\00:06:00.06
into the breakfast
without the children complaining
00:06:00.09\00:06:01.86
about the texture.
00:06:01.89\00:06:03.22
Yeah, sometimes
you have to do kind of
00:06:03.26\00:06:05.53
cozy sneaky
things to get healthy,
00:06:05.56\00:06:09.20
healthy ingredients
into kids so this is great.
00:06:09.23\00:06:11.53
Absolutely, okay.
00:06:11.57\00:06:12.90
And these are just
broken into pieces?
00:06:12.93\00:06:15.07
Yes, just cut up
whole wheat bread.
00:06:15.10\00:06:16.44
Okay.
00:06:16.47\00:06:17.81
I'm gonna ask
you to hold the bowl,
00:06:17.84\00:06:19.17
and I'll slide them
in here with my gloves.
00:06:19.21\00:06:20.54
Sure. Okay.
00:06:20.58\00:06:21.91
And I did wash my
hands before this.
00:06:21.94\00:06:23.28
All right, so we
have 10 cups of that here
00:06:23.31\00:06:25.61
and you can still use the
ends of the bread like I said,
00:06:25.65\00:06:28.55
it's gonna get soft
00:06:28.58\00:06:29.92
once we put the sauce
on top of this for baking.
00:06:29.95\00:06:33.29
All right.
00:06:33.32\00:06:34.66
I guess I should
set this over here.
00:06:34.69\00:06:36.02
Now, one of the
reasons why they came up
00:06:36.06\00:06:38.93
with this recipe is
because I had three children.
00:06:38.96\00:06:42.03
And so that's a lot of
French toast in the morning.
00:06:42.06\00:06:44.77
Which means
mama keeps jumping up
00:06:44.80\00:06:46.97
and down flipping French toast,
00:06:47.00\00:06:48.47
and the kids are all
done before I get to eat.
00:06:48.50\00:06:50.54
Right. I want
to eat as a family.
00:06:50.57\00:06:52.34
Right, and then it's cold,
the first batch is kind of cold
00:06:52.37\00:06:56.31
by the time you make
this, I am with you, I got it.
00:06:56.34\00:06:58.58
So he said, you know what?
00:06:58.61\00:07:00.15
Why don't we just
put it in casserole dish,
00:07:00.18\00:07:02.08
we can all sit
down and eat together.
00:07:02.12\00:07:03.55
So that's the
method behind this one.
00:07:03.59\00:07:05.12
I love it.
00:07:05.15\00:07:06.49
Okay, so we have
our bread cubes in there
00:07:06.52\00:07:09.29
and we're gonna go
ahead and put everything
00:07:09.32\00:07:10.96
in our blender,
very simple recipe.
00:07:10.99\00:07:12.99
Okay. Now...
00:07:13.03\00:07:14.36
You know what,
as you were saying,
00:07:14.40\00:07:15.73
go ahead, you continue.
00:07:15.76\00:07:17.10
What you were saying
about keeping it simple.
00:07:17.13\00:07:18.83
Yes.
00:07:18.87\00:07:20.20
I think that's really important
00:07:20.24\00:07:21.57
because if it
looks too complicated,
00:07:21.60\00:07:23.44
people are gonna be
like, "Oh, I can't do that.
00:07:23.47\00:07:25.57
I just can't do that."
00:07:25.61\00:07:26.94
That is so true.
00:07:26.98\00:07:28.31
Well, this is blend and bake.
00:07:28.34\00:07:29.68
Oh, I love it.
So it's real simple.
00:07:29.71\00:07:31.05
Love it.
00:07:31.08\00:07:32.41
Now I'm using very ripe bananas.
00:07:32.45\00:07:33.78
Okay.
00:07:33.82\00:07:35.15
Because they are sweet,
00:07:35.18\00:07:36.52
and a lot of times
people will save these
00:07:36.55\00:07:37.89
for making banana bread,
00:07:37.92\00:07:39.25
but you can go ahead
and use those wonderful
00:07:39.29\00:07:40.62
speckled bananas
in this dish as well
00:07:40.66\00:07:42.52
to get a little added sweetness.
00:07:42.56\00:07:45.19
You know what else is
when they're kind of getting
00:07:45.23\00:07:47.60
a little bit more ripe.
00:07:47.63\00:07:49.23
You can also freeze them.
00:07:49.26\00:07:50.93
I peel them,
freeze them for smoothies.
00:07:50.97\00:07:54.27
And then you can just put them,
drop them in for a smoothie.
00:07:54.30\00:07:56.97
Our next recipe.
00:07:57.01\00:07:58.34
Oh, see.
00:07:58.37\00:07:59.87
We're gonna be
doing it, there we go.
00:07:59.91\00:08:01.88
Okay. You went ahead of us.
00:08:01.91\00:08:03.24
All right. That's fantastic.
00:08:03.28\00:08:04.61
Okay.
00:08:04.65\00:08:05.98
And then we're going
to put in some dates.
00:08:06.01\00:08:07.48
Now these happened
to be Medjool dates.
00:08:07.52\00:08:09.55
They're not
pitted. They're not pitted.
00:08:09.58\00:08:11.29
So if you buy Medjool dates,
00:08:11.32\00:08:12.65
they're probably
not gonna be pitted.
00:08:12.69\00:08:14.06
You want to make sure
you just pull those pits out,
00:08:14.09\00:08:16.09
very simple to do,
00:08:16.12\00:08:17.46
they just slide right
out and if you forget one,
00:08:17.49\00:08:19.69
you can fish it
out of the blender.
00:08:19.73\00:08:21.93
Now, what are
some of the advantages
00:08:21.96\00:08:24.13
of Medjool dates
over just regular dates?
00:08:24.17\00:08:27.40
These are a little larger,
they are a little softer.
00:08:27.44\00:08:30.84
So the soft is really nice
00:08:30.87\00:08:33.71
if your blender is
not really powerful.
00:08:33.74\00:08:35.58
Okay.
00:08:35.61\00:08:36.95
So if you have a blender
that is not really powerful,
00:08:36.98\00:08:40.95
and you don't
have Medjool dates,
00:08:40.98\00:08:43.18
they could take the dates
and just soak them in the water
00:08:43.22\00:08:46.15
for just a little
while and soften them up
00:08:46.19\00:08:48.26
before they put
them into the blender.
00:08:48.29\00:08:50.29
And that will help to
ease the strain on the blender.
00:08:50.33\00:08:54.53
Okay, so there's that.
00:08:54.56\00:08:56.10
I'm gonna go
ahead and take these off
00:08:56.13\00:08:58.53
while we finish up.
00:08:58.57\00:08:59.90
Right. All right.
00:08:59.93\00:09:01.27
Then we have
some whole wheat flour
00:09:01.30\00:09:03.84
and that just helps to thicken
the sauce up once it heats,
00:09:03.87\00:09:07.41
and some orange
juice concentrate
00:09:07.44\00:09:09.94
that adds a little bit of
sweetness as well as flavor,
00:09:09.98\00:09:14.45
and a little bit of
salt here to just enhance
00:09:14.48\00:09:17.32
the flavor that we have there.
00:09:17.35\00:09:19.05
Oh, salt enhances
the flavor, right?
00:09:19.09\00:09:22.26
It really does,
just a little bit.
00:09:22.29\00:09:25.06
Yeah, the salt of the earth.
00:09:25.09\00:09:27.03
That's right.
00:09:27.06\00:09:28.43
That is right. Okay.
00:09:28.46\00:09:29.80
Let's put this cover on here.
00:09:29.83\00:09:32.33
This Vitamix is really
great 'cause it's a very intense
00:09:32.37\00:09:35.74
kind of blender.
00:09:35.77\00:09:37.11
It is, so we're
going to start slow
00:09:37.14\00:09:38.51
so it doesn't
take off like a bomb.
00:09:38.54\00:09:39.87
Okay. Okay.
00:09:39.91\00:09:41.24
And that's really
about all it needs.
00:09:53.52\00:09:54.86
Really?
00:09:54.89\00:09:56.22
Yes, that'll be
fine and so then...
00:09:56.26\00:10:00.16
Would you like to pour it on?
00:10:00.20\00:10:01.53
Sure. Okay.
00:10:01.56\00:10:02.90
Just tell me what to do.
00:10:02.93\00:10:04.27
You're gonna just evenly back
00:10:04.30\00:10:05.63
and forth all
over the French toast
00:10:05.67\00:10:08.90
and this will just
moisten that bread up,
00:10:08.94\00:10:11.47
and as it bakes in the
oven it'll just be soft and warm
00:10:11.51\00:10:14.88
and deliciously sweet.
00:10:14.91\00:10:18.35
And we're gonna make a little
topping to put on this as well.
00:10:18.38\00:10:21.68
Nice.
00:10:21.72\00:10:23.05
Yay!
00:10:23.08\00:10:24.42
Yes, and then
everybody will eat together.
00:10:24.45\00:10:26.29
What a great idea.
00:10:26.32\00:10:27.66
I had never thought of
a French toast casserole.
00:10:27.69\00:10:31.49
That's, right, why not?
00:10:31.53\00:10:32.86
This is great.
00:10:32.89\00:10:34.23
I'm just gonna spread this...
00:10:34.26\00:10:35.60
We want to set this.
00:10:35.63\00:10:36.97
That will work. Okay.
00:10:37.00\00:10:38.33
I'm just gonna
spread it just a little bit,
00:10:38.37\00:10:39.70
we'll tuck those down maybe
00:10:39.73\00:10:41.07
that didn't get quite so coated,
00:10:41.10\00:10:42.44
we'll tuck them down in there
00:10:42.47\00:10:43.81
so the kids don't
complain about crispy.
00:10:43.84\00:10:45.17
Right.
00:10:45.21\00:10:46.54
Okay, that's beautiful.
00:10:46.57\00:10:47.91
Great.
00:10:47.94\00:10:49.28
And then we're just
gonna sprinkle some walnuts
00:10:49.31\00:10:50.65
on the top of this.
00:10:50.68\00:10:52.01
Love it.
00:10:52.05\00:10:53.38
And walnuts are great
for omega-3 and brain food.
00:10:53.42\00:10:57.02
Absolutely.
00:10:57.05\00:10:58.39
So that's really great.
00:10:58.42\00:10:59.75
And it tastes so wonderful.
00:10:59.79\00:11:01.12
It does.
00:11:01.16\00:11:02.49
Yes, and the
walnuts and just fruit in,
00:11:02.52\00:11:04.23
oh, it's just so good.
00:11:04.26\00:11:05.59
It is.
00:11:05.63\00:11:06.96
So that's it and then
this will go in the oven.
00:11:07.00\00:11:08.80
Okay.
00:11:08.83\00:11:10.17
We have a finished one
over here if you want to...
00:11:10.20\00:11:12.43
We can pull that
out and just show them
00:11:12.47\00:11:14.37
what it will look
like when it's done.
00:11:14.40\00:11:16.14
Sure.
00:11:16.17\00:11:17.51
And we'll have you taste
it after we do the smoothie.
00:11:17.54\00:11:19.07
Okay.
00:11:19.11\00:11:20.44
So it bakes up with
the walnuts in that,
00:11:20.48\00:11:23.51
and then we will
have a topping for that.
00:11:23.55\00:11:25.81
Now, we can put
the smoothie on it
00:11:25.85\00:11:28.32
that we're going to make on our,
00:11:28.35\00:11:29.68
the maple nut soft
serve, or we could put on,
00:11:29.72\00:11:33.05
if you could
hand me the pineapple
00:11:33.09\00:11:34.42
and the orange
juice concentrate.
00:11:34.46\00:11:36.06
Sure.
00:11:36.09\00:11:37.43
A simple topping for
this if you're in a hurry,
00:11:37.46\00:11:41.00
would just be to take
some crushed pineapple,
00:11:41.03\00:11:44.43
add a little bit of orange
juice concentrate into that.
00:11:44.47\00:11:48.80
Stir that up and then put
it on the individual pieces
00:11:48.84\00:11:53.11
when you serve it
00:11:53.14\00:11:54.48
and it's very,
very nice on there.
00:11:54.51\00:11:56.64
Pineapple is naturally
sweet and the orange juice,
00:11:56.68\00:11:59.41
it just enhances
that pineapple flavor.
00:11:59.45\00:12:01.62
So this is an unsweetened,
it's just in its own juice.
00:12:01.65\00:12:06.05
That's right,
natural, natural sweetness.
00:12:06.09\00:12:08.36
So when you cut your piece,
00:12:08.39\00:12:09.72
you could at
the breakfast table,
00:12:09.76\00:12:11.09
just go ahead
and put a little bit
00:12:11.13\00:12:12.46
of that on and it's delicious.
00:12:12.49\00:12:13.93
This is warm,
00:12:13.96\00:12:15.30
and then that's
just at room temperature?
00:12:15.33\00:12:17.83
And if you like it cold,
00:12:17.87\00:12:19.20
you can make it
the night before.
00:12:19.23\00:12:20.57
Oh, great. So that works.
00:12:20.60\00:12:21.94
Great, great.
00:12:21.97\00:12:23.30
That looks very good.
00:12:23.34\00:12:24.67
Okay. All right.
00:12:24.71\00:12:26.04
Now, would you want
to try it like this?
00:12:26.07\00:12:28.28
Sure.
00:12:28.31\00:12:29.64
Okay, we have a
plate right there for you.
00:12:29.68\00:12:31.91
Got to do it quickly.
00:12:31.95\00:12:33.42
Okay.
00:12:33.45\00:12:34.78
I'll just give you
a little piece here.
00:12:34.82\00:12:36.42
Okay, and I'll put a
little sauce on there,
00:12:41.66\00:12:43.79
just a little bit, all right.
00:12:43.83\00:12:46.70
Here we got the
little side for you.
00:12:46.73\00:12:49.60
Thank you, Lord, for this food.
00:12:49.63\00:12:51.20
Yes.
00:12:51.23\00:12:52.57
Wonderful whole grains.
00:12:52.60\00:12:53.94
So you have whole
grains, fruits and nuts,
00:12:53.97\00:12:56.44
you have a complete
meal in the one dish
00:12:56.47\00:13:00.24
and your children can
leave ready for school,
00:13:00.28\00:13:03.38
ready with
brainpower for their day.
00:13:03.41\00:13:05.48
Oh, that's great.
00:13:05.51\00:13:06.85
I'm gonna make this for Danny.
00:13:06.88\00:13:08.22
There you go.
00:13:08.25\00:13:09.58
Thank you. You're welcome.
00:13:09.62\00:13:11.35
The next recipe is
maple nut soft serve.
00:13:11.39\00:13:15.32
The ingredients are:
00:13:15.36\00:13:16.69
So let's see how to make this.
00:13:30.34\00:13:32.37
Okay.
00:13:32.41\00:13:33.74
Now what's the soft serve thing?
00:13:33.78\00:13:35.11
What's that? Well...
00:13:35.14\00:13:36.48
Like a custard?
00:13:36.51\00:13:37.85
It is like an ice cream.
00:13:37.88\00:13:39.21
Okay.
00:13:39.25\00:13:40.58
A lot of times people
will get a soft serve.
00:13:40.62\00:13:41.95
It'll be in a cone,
00:13:41.98\00:13:43.32
It'd be kind of
swirled up like that.
00:13:43.35\00:13:44.69
Yes, yes, yes.
00:13:44.72\00:13:46.05
Well, we found that
we really liked smoothies
00:13:46.09\00:13:48.92
but it's not quite as
satisfying to drink a meal
00:13:48.96\00:13:51.93
as to eat it with a spoon.
00:13:51.96\00:13:53.29
Right.
00:13:53.33\00:13:54.66
So we decided that we
would go from smoothies
00:13:54.70\00:13:58.97
to just making them thicker.
00:13:59.00\00:14:00.47
Oh.
00:14:00.50\00:14:01.84
Less fluid than
the smoothie does
00:14:01.87\00:14:04.07
and then you end up
00:14:04.11\00:14:05.44
with a very nice
thick soft serve.
00:14:05.47\00:14:07.31
Nice. I love that.
00:14:07.34\00:14:08.78
Okay, so again
we're back to our blender.
00:14:08.81\00:14:11.31
Okay.
00:14:11.35\00:14:12.68
If someone's
blender is not strong,
00:14:12.71\00:14:14.05
they may just want to
let the bananas defrost
00:14:14.08\00:14:16.62
just for maybe
five minutes or so,
00:14:16.65\00:14:18.55
just to soften
them up a little bit,
00:14:18.59\00:14:19.92
but we've got some bananas
that were nice and speckled.
00:14:19.95\00:14:23.53
And we let them freeze after
00:14:23.56\00:14:26.23
we peel them
just in Ziploc bags.
00:14:26.26\00:14:30.27
And if someone is
concerned about their blender,
00:14:30.30\00:14:32.37
they could even
slice up the bananas
00:14:32.40\00:14:34.14
and put them on a
cookie sheet to freeze them
00:14:34.17\00:14:35.67
so that the pieces
would be even smaller.
00:14:35.70\00:14:37.74
Oh, that's a great idea.
00:14:37.77\00:14:39.11
So just have to
know your kitchen tools.
00:14:39.14\00:14:40.48
Right, it's a great idea.
00:14:40.51\00:14:42.74
And the bananas in
this are very, very nice
00:14:42.78\00:14:45.61
because it
gives it a creaminess.
00:14:45.65\00:14:47.98
If you have a
lot of fruits in here
00:14:48.02\00:14:49.48
like frozen
strawberries or peaches,
00:14:49.52\00:14:51.75
the more high
water content fruits,
00:14:51.79\00:14:55.72
it comes out icier,
00:14:55.76\00:14:57.46
the bananas
give it a creaminess.
00:14:57.49\00:14:59.23
Nice.
00:14:59.26\00:15:00.60
That kind of is reminiscent
of full fat ice cream.
00:15:00.63\00:15:02.90
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
00:15:02.93\00:15:04.40
So we've got our dates again.
00:15:04.43\00:15:05.97
We've taken the
pits out of those,
00:15:06.00\00:15:08.20
and we're just going
to put a little dash,
00:15:08.24\00:15:10.97
little dash of maple flavoring,
00:15:11.01\00:15:13.84
it's pretty strong stuff
00:15:13.88\00:15:15.31
or you could use the maple syrup
00:15:15.34\00:15:16.98
if you like and then some water.
00:15:17.01\00:15:19.55
And just like I said,
00:15:19.58\00:15:20.92
a little bit of water
or you could put juice
00:15:20.95\00:15:24.09
or you could use
almond milk or soy milk
00:15:24.12\00:15:26.42
or whatever milk you might like,
00:15:26.45\00:15:27.96
so these are
very flexible recipes.
00:15:27.99\00:15:30.59
And to make any
kind of soft serve,
00:15:30.63\00:15:33.16
you could maybe add
some frozen strawberries
00:15:33.19\00:15:36.10
to that or
blueberries or blackberries.
00:15:36.13\00:15:37.73
Love it.
00:15:37.77\00:15:39.10
But I'm gonna save that for us,
00:15:39.13\00:15:41.70
the base always
has to be bananas
00:15:41.74\00:15:43.20
because we want that
creamy ice cream feeling.
00:15:43.24\00:15:47.04
That's right. That's right.
00:15:47.08\00:15:48.94
Now, we're gonna
jog this a little bit.
00:15:48.98\00:15:51.48
Okay. So you kind of pulse it?
00:15:58.59\00:16:00.62
We're gonna
pulse it a little bit,
00:16:00.66\00:16:01.99
we'll just work it
just a little bit here.
00:16:02.02\00:16:05.13
See if we can get it down lower.
00:16:05.16\00:16:07.43
There we go.
00:16:07.46\00:16:08.80
So is the idea to
have it chunky or smooth?
00:16:12.80\00:16:15.94
We want it smooth.
00:16:15.97\00:16:19.77
We want it smooth,
00:16:19.81\00:16:22.51
but there we go, we'll get it.
00:16:22.54\00:16:25.21
You can see it's
getting creamy there.
00:16:25.25\00:16:27.12
If we added more fluid,
00:16:27.15\00:16:29.05
it would blend up very quickly
without having to adjust it,
00:16:29.08\00:16:31.62
but then you
wouldn't have ice cream.
00:16:31.65\00:16:32.99
Right.
00:16:33.02\00:16:34.36
So we want the
soft serve consistency,
00:16:34.39\00:16:36.06
which means we're gonna
work it for just a little bit.
00:16:36.09\00:16:37.93
Right.
00:16:37.96\00:16:40.26
And if somebody
has a powerful blender
00:16:40.30\00:16:42.80
like this one,
00:16:42.83\00:16:44.17
you could actually
double this recipe.
00:16:44.20\00:16:45.53
Ah.
00:16:45.57\00:16:46.90
So it's a little
bit harder for Vitamix
00:16:46.94\00:16:48.27
to make the smaller amounts,
00:16:48.30\00:16:51.24
simply because this is
a very powerful blender.
00:16:51.27\00:16:54.28
Yeah, there you go.
00:16:54.31\00:16:57.35
I think one more time
and we're gonna be good.
00:16:57.38\00:16:59.28
Okay, let see, get this
nice and creamy for you.
00:17:06.65\00:17:09.46
There we go.
00:17:13.76\00:17:15.10
Okay. Nice.
00:17:20.30\00:17:21.74
And you can actually see
it has some body in there.
00:17:21.77\00:17:23.81
Yes. We still see this swirls.
00:17:23.84\00:17:25.37
Yes.
00:17:25.41\00:17:26.74
I want to taste it. Okay.
00:17:26.78\00:17:28.51
Let me put it, I'll
put it in this bowl first.
00:17:28.54\00:17:30.18
Okay, I'll just take a little.
00:17:30.21\00:17:31.55
Okay.
00:17:31.58\00:17:32.91
I'm just tasting
just a little bit.
00:17:32.95\00:17:34.88
Okay, you can
see that's got body.
00:17:34.92\00:17:37.25
Yes, it does.
It's gonna stand up.
00:17:37.29\00:17:38.62
And If you like your
date smoother in there,
00:17:38.65\00:17:42.02
then you can just go
ahead and blend it longer
00:17:42.06\00:17:44.69
or soak the dates if
you want it smoother.
00:17:44.73\00:17:46.63
And, of course, if you
really want to make it special,
00:17:46.66\00:17:48.63
you make it maple nut, right?
00:17:48.66\00:17:50.30
Yes.
00:17:50.33\00:17:51.67
Oh, I should have
gotten that before.
00:17:51.70\00:17:55.04
This is so good.
00:17:55.07\00:17:56.40
You know what?
00:17:56.44\00:17:57.77
It's very creamy and
it taste like ice cream.
00:17:57.81\00:18:00.88
Yes.
00:18:00.91\00:18:02.24
Without any dairy and sugar.
00:18:02.28\00:18:03.61
Without any dairy,
and if you don't add
00:18:03.65\00:18:05.81
the walnuts on
there without any fat.
00:18:05.85\00:18:09.22
So it's a perfect for those
00:18:09.25\00:18:10.59
who might have a
lactose intolerance
00:18:10.62\00:18:12.22
or just would prefer
not to eat dairy products.
00:18:12.25\00:18:15.62
I like what you
did with the banana
00:18:15.66\00:18:17.33
'cause it does give you
that creamy consistency.
00:18:17.36\00:18:20.20
Low calorie. And the flavor.
00:18:20.23\00:18:21.80
Yes, and the
flavor and low calorie.
00:18:21.83\00:18:24.27
Yummy.
00:18:24.30\00:18:25.63
Yes.
00:18:25.67\00:18:27.50
Okay, let's look
at our next recipe.
00:18:27.54\00:18:31.17
It's going to be
baked breakfast grains,
00:18:31.21\00:18:33.98
and the ingredients are:
00:18:34.01\00:18:35.48
Okay, let's start this.
00:18:55.03\00:18:57.20
Okay.
00:18:57.23\00:18:58.63
Do I spray?
00:18:58.67\00:19:00.00
We're gonna spray.
00:19:00.04\00:19:01.37
We want to make sure our
casserole does not stick.
00:19:01.40\00:19:03.47
Okay.
00:19:03.51\00:19:04.84
So just give it a quick
little spray there, beautiful.
00:19:04.87\00:19:07.38
Okay.
00:19:07.41\00:19:08.74
Now what I love about
this is this looks like
00:19:08.78\00:19:10.91
it's a one dish meal.
00:19:10.95\00:19:12.81
It is.
00:19:12.85\00:19:14.18
How easy is that?
00:19:14.22\00:19:15.62
And you can make it ahead
at night and just re-warm it
00:19:15.65\00:19:18.62
in the microwave if you want
00:19:18.65\00:19:20.22
so should be fast and
easy and it is one meal.
00:19:20.26\00:19:24.03
Oh, I love that.
00:19:24.06\00:19:25.39
See, that's great
'cause in the morning,
00:19:25.43\00:19:27.16
a lot of times you
don't have time to do a lot.
00:19:27.20\00:19:29.63
So if it's pre-prepared,
00:19:29.66\00:19:31.63
and you can just
heat it up for the kids
00:19:31.67\00:19:33.47
or your husband or your spouse
if you're man for your wife,
00:19:33.50\00:19:38.57
this works out great.
00:19:38.61\00:19:40.41
Absolutely, and they
find that breakfast skippers
00:19:40.44\00:19:44.41
would tend to eat
something mid morning.
00:19:44.45\00:19:47.05
While if you're
eating mid morning,
00:19:47.08\00:19:48.42
you probably not gonna
get whole grains in through.
00:19:48.45\00:19:51.25
It's gonna be the
donut and unhealthy beverage,
00:19:51.29\00:19:53.66
something along those lines.
00:19:53.69\00:19:55.02
Yes.
00:19:55.06\00:19:56.39
So eating a good
breakfast is foundational
00:19:56.42\00:19:58.06
to starting your
day off to a good start.
00:19:58.09\00:19:59.69
Yes, breaking the fast.
00:19:59.73\00:20:01.26
Break that fast, absolutely.
00:20:01.30\00:20:03.37
Well, let's get our
ingredients in here.
00:20:03.40\00:20:05.27
Okay, good. All right.
00:20:05.30\00:20:07.04
So this is steel-cut oats.
00:20:07.07\00:20:09.94
And basically it's
the whole oat grout
00:20:09.97\00:20:13.48
and they've cut
it in half or thirds.
00:20:13.51\00:20:16.11
So it's very
close to a whole grain
00:20:16.14\00:20:18.01
and it's not
missing any of your fiber
00:20:18.05\00:20:19.71
or anything like that.
00:20:19.75\00:20:21.08
Great.
00:20:21.12\00:20:22.45
We'll just
sprinkle this on the bottom,
00:20:22.48\00:20:23.82
really nice and even there.
00:20:23.85\00:20:25.42
'Cause fiber is so important,
00:20:25.45\00:20:27.12
like if you don't get
enough fiber in the diet,
00:20:27.16\00:20:29.82
fiber helps the
body to metabolize sugar.
00:20:29.86\00:20:32.73
Fiber helps the bowels to move.
00:20:32.76\00:20:34.80
Fiber is so important,
00:20:34.83\00:20:36.36
and I really think
it's important for diabetics
00:20:36.40\00:20:38.93
to get more fiber
in their diet as well.
00:20:38.97\00:20:41.20
So this is good.
00:20:41.24\00:20:43.17
Fiber is important.
00:20:43.20\00:20:44.57
Fiber is so important and yes,
00:20:44.61\00:20:46.34
in diabetics and
for heart disease.
00:20:46.37\00:20:48.01
Yes.
00:20:48.04\00:20:49.38
They found that the
fiber also helps with that,
00:20:49.41\00:20:51.31
so yes, we want
to just be healthy.
00:20:51.35\00:20:52.81
Yes.
00:20:52.85\00:20:54.18
It's amazing how when we
have a healthy lifestyle,
00:20:54.22\00:20:57.55
it takes care of
so many problems.
00:20:57.59\00:20:59.42
Yes.
00:20:59.45\00:21:00.79
Not just, it's a
one size fits all.
00:21:00.82\00:21:02.82
It's a blanket.
00:21:02.86\00:21:04.19
Yes. It's right, it's a blanket.
00:21:04.23\00:21:05.56
When you get
healthy, you're healthy.
00:21:05.59\00:21:06.93
That's it. That's right.
00:21:06.96\00:21:08.30
And it's so much
easier to prevent illness
00:21:08.33\00:21:09.83
than to reverse it.
00:21:09.86\00:21:11.53
So why not eat better
so that you can prevent.
00:21:11.57\00:21:14.70
Give your body what it needs.
00:21:14.74\00:21:16.17
God created us in such a
way that the body heals itself
00:21:16.20\00:21:19.14
if we give it what it needs.
00:21:19.17\00:21:21.04
So we're giving
at what it needs.
00:21:21.08\00:21:22.68
That's our goal. That's right.
00:21:22.71\00:21:24.51
Now what's that? This is millet.
00:21:24.55\00:21:26.41
Okay. Also known as birdseed.
00:21:26.45\00:21:29.45
Ain't that amazing?
00:21:29.48\00:21:30.82
I never knew that
millet was birdseed.
00:21:30.85\00:21:33.09
Well, we're eating
it without the whole.
00:21:33.12\00:21:35.52
If you ever see, you
know, little pet parakeet,
00:21:35.56\00:21:37.69
they'll put that
millet in their mouth
00:21:37.73\00:21:39.09
and then they'll
chew on a little bit,
00:21:39.13\00:21:40.46
they're removing the hull.
00:21:40.50\00:21:41.83
So we get it without the hull.
00:21:41.86\00:21:43.53
Okay, un-hulled millet.
00:21:43.57\00:21:45.40
And they sell it that way.
00:21:45.43\00:21:46.77
You don't even
have to ask un-hulled.
00:21:46.80\00:21:48.14
Oh, okay.
00:21:48.17\00:21:49.50
When you buy millet in
a health food store online
00:21:49.54\00:21:50.97
or whatever, it will be
un-hulled and ready to eat.
00:21:51.01\00:21:53.11
Nice.
00:21:53.14\00:21:54.48
Now it's tends to
be a little bit powdery
00:21:54.51\00:21:56.24
and I don't know
exactly why that is
00:21:56.28\00:21:58.08
so I always rinse
it in the sieve first.
00:21:58.11\00:21:59.98
So just run it under the water
and clean it up a little bit.
00:22:00.02\00:22:03.69
This has been rinsed already.
00:22:03.72\00:22:05.45
So we will go ahead
00:22:05.49\00:22:06.82
and also add this
into the casserole.
00:22:06.86\00:22:08.89
So this is a fully
whole grain, high fiber...
00:22:08.92\00:22:13.60
Yeah.
00:22:13.63\00:22:14.96
Cereal. Nice.
00:22:15.00\00:22:16.33
All right. Nice.
00:22:16.36\00:22:17.70
Now we will add our
other yummy ingredients.
00:22:17.73\00:22:20.64
So we've got some
pumpkin seeds for some crunch.
00:22:20.67\00:22:26.14
We have a small
amount of maple syrup
00:22:26.17\00:22:28.48
just for that
little extra touch.
00:22:28.51\00:22:31.88
That little sweetness, yes.
00:22:31.91\00:22:33.25
Add a little bit
00:22:33.28\00:22:34.62
and that wonderful maple flavor.
00:22:34.65\00:22:35.98
And pure maple syrup,
00:22:36.02\00:22:37.35
not the kind with all
that other stuff in it.
00:22:37.39\00:22:38.72
That's right.
00:22:38.75\00:22:40.09
That's what this is.
00:22:40.12\00:22:41.46
Love it.
00:22:41.49\00:22:42.82
And then we have some
wonderful raisins here.
00:22:42.86\00:22:44.46
I'm gonna try to
get those spread evenly.
00:22:44.49\00:22:48.53
And raisins are a nice source
of iron as well as sweetness
00:22:48.56\00:22:53.34
and what child
doesn't like raisins.
00:22:53.37\00:22:55.14
Yes.
00:22:55.17\00:22:56.50
So those are easy to get it all.
00:22:56.54\00:22:57.87
A lot of adults too.
00:22:57.91\00:22:59.24
That's true.
00:22:59.27\00:23:00.61
Yes, yes.
00:23:00.64\00:23:01.98
And then this is
dried diced pineapple.
00:23:02.01\00:23:06.31
But we could use almost
any dried fruit in this.
00:23:06.35\00:23:08.75
I like to do the raisins.
00:23:08.78\00:23:10.12
But if someone
mixed two different kinds
00:23:10.15\00:23:12.25
of dried fruits,
that would be just fine.
00:23:12.29\00:23:14.29
So you might want to
put dried cranberries
00:23:14.32\00:23:16.22
or something like that,
00:23:16.26\00:23:17.79
but we just chopped
up some pineapple here.
00:23:17.83\00:23:20.73
And those are
pumpkin seeds you said?
00:23:20.76\00:23:22.56
We have pumpkin seeds.
00:23:22.60\00:23:23.93
Those are so important for
men for the prostate gland.
00:23:23.97\00:23:27.00
Is it the zinc?
00:23:27.04\00:23:28.37
It's the zinc.
00:23:28.40\00:23:30.01
And a lot of times
we're not getting enough zinc,
00:23:30.04\00:23:32.74
like if you have a
cold, you need more zinc.
00:23:32.77\00:23:35.04
Zinc stops the
replication of the virus.
00:23:35.08\00:23:38.51
So you're adding things in here
00:23:38.55\00:23:40.65
that again are
preventive and curative.
00:23:40.68\00:23:42.92
So that's really a blessing.
00:23:42.95\00:23:44.29
We got a vitamin
pill in the bowl.
00:23:44.32\00:23:45.75
Yeah, there you go, for sure.
00:23:45.79\00:23:48.56
All right.
00:23:48.59\00:23:49.92
And now we have
some non dairy milk here.
00:23:49.96\00:23:52.16
And I'm going to go
ahead and mix the vanilla
00:23:52.19\00:23:54.06
right in the milk
so it spreads evenly.
00:23:54.10\00:23:56.16
Okay.
00:23:56.20\00:23:57.53
There we go.
00:23:57.57\00:23:59.23
Would you like to pour that on?
00:23:59.27\00:24:00.60
Sure. Okay.
00:24:00.64\00:24:03.34
Again evenly throughout, yeah.
00:24:03.37\00:24:05.97
Yes, it's gonna spread.
00:24:06.01\00:24:08.48
And you know today in this age
00:24:08.51\00:24:11.21
finding non
dairy milk is so easy.
00:24:11.25\00:24:13.98
Every grocery
store carries them,
00:24:14.02\00:24:17.45
maybe 20 years ago...
00:24:17.49\00:24:18.95
The whole thing?
00:24:18.99\00:24:20.32
The whole thing. Wow.
00:24:20.36\00:24:21.72
It will soak it right off
it so it bakes in the oven.
00:24:21.76\00:24:25.09
Oh, okay.
00:24:25.13\00:24:26.46
Yes, that's millet absorbs.
00:24:26.49\00:24:28.06
Oh, it does and the
steel-cut oats as well.
00:24:28.10\00:24:31.70
All right.
00:24:31.73\00:24:33.07
And then we're
going to sprinkle,
00:24:33.10\00:24:34.90
and this is an
optional ingredient.
00:24:34.94\00:24:37.24
This is Ceylon cinnamon.
00:24:37.27\00:24:39.07
Tell us the difference
between that kind of cinnamon
00:24:39.11\00:24:41.68
and just the regular cinnamon?
00:24:41.71\00:24:43.04
The regular cinnamon
that people would buy
00:24:43.08\00:24:44.41
in the grocery store is
high in Coumarin, not Coumadin,
00:24:44.45\00:24:48.75
Coumarin which for some
people is damaging to the liver.
00:24:48.78\00:24:55.42
The European nations had put,
00:24:55.46\00:24:58.73
some of them have put a
limit on how much Coumarin
00:24:58.76\00:25:02.20
can be used in food,
00:25:02.23\00:25:03.57
so bakeries had to cut
back on the amount of cinnamon
00:25:03.60\00:25:05.47
they were using
and things like that
00:25:05.50\00:25:07.00
because of the
damage to the liver.
00:25:07.04\00:25:09.74
Ceylon cinnamon is a
totally different product,
00:25:09.77\00:25:12.57
it comes from a different plant.
00:25:12.61\00:25:14.44
It does not have such
an intense bite to it.
00:25:14.48\00:25:17.38
It's milder and it has
almost no Coumarin in it.
00:25:17.41\00:25:21.22
So it's a different product.
00:25:21.25\00:25:23.49
If someone's
concerned about cinnamon,
00:25:23.52\00:25:25.35
this would be the way to go.
00:25:25.39\00:25:26.89
But again, you could
leave it right out of the recipe
00:25:26.92\00:25:28.96
and the recipe's
still very yummy.
00:25:28.99\00:25:30.63
Oh, okay, good.
00:25:30.66\00:25:32.56
So I'm just
going to sprinkle this
00:25:32.59\00:25:34.53
just a little bit on the top.
00:25:34.56\00:25:36.30
Nice.
00:25:36.33\00:25:37.67
And then this will go in
the oven and like I said,
00:25:37.70\00:25:40.04
it could be
refrigerated overnight,
00:25:40.07\00:25:44.61
microwaved in the morning.
00:25:44.64\00:25:46.04
How long do you
leave it in the oven?
00:25:46.07\00:25:47.81
It cooks for one hour.
00:25:47.84\00:25:49.18
One hour, okay.
00:25:49.21\00:25:50.55
And the milk, we had
the milk a little bit warm
00:25:50.58\00:25:52.35
so if you wanted
to warm it in a pot
00:25:52.38\00:25:54.38
or in the microwave a little bit
00:25:54.42\00:25:55.75
just to give it that jumpstart
in the oven and make sure
00:25:55.78\00:25:57.65
everything is good and
cooked after that hour.
00:25:57.69\00:25:59.69
We want to long
slow cook our grains.
00:25:59.72\00:26:02.42
Nice, nice.
00:26:02.46\00:26:04.06
Very delicious. All right.
00:26:04.09\00:26:05.89
Well, we have a copy of this.
00:26:05.93\00:26:08.03
We do.
00:26:08.06\00:26:09.40
We have one that is.
00:26:09.43\00:26:10.77
The display version.
00:26:10.80\00:26:13.74
Okay. Oh, look at that.
00:26:13.77\00:26:16.30
And then what
people could do after we...
00:26:16.34\00:26:19.27
After they take
it out of the oven,
00:26:19.31\00:26:20.64
just scoop it out
00:26:20.68\00:26:22.01
and if they like
it a little moister,
00:26:22.04\00:26:23.38
add a little bit more milk,
00:26:23.41\00:26:24.75
or some of that maple nut
soft serve on top of that.
00:26:24.78\00:26:28.02
Oh, yeah.
00:26:28.05\00:26:29.38
Or even some applesauce.
00:26:29.42\00:26:30.75
Yeah, nice.
00:26:30.79\00:26:32.12
If you like it
chewy, eat it just as it is.
00:26:32.15\00:26:33.69
Oh, that's great.
00:26:33.72\00:26:35.06
Yes. It's great.
00:26:35.09\00:26:36.42
Yummy. Yummy.
00:26:36.46\00:26:39.03
Well, let's look
at our next recipe.
00:26:39.06\00:26:41.36
It's going to be the
quinoa breakfast bowl,
00:26:41.40\00:26:45.03
and the ingredients are|:
00:26:45.07\00:26:46.70
Quinoa breakfast bowls,
00:27:05.52\00:27:07.42
like does so great.
00:27:07.46\00:27:09.12
Breakfast is so important,
and it's quick and it's easy
00:27:09.16\00:27:12.83
and you can
pre-prepare it, correct?
00:27:12.86\00:27:15.26
Absolutely.
00:27:15.30\00:27:16.63
It's a win-win.
00:27:16.67\00:27:18.00
It's a win-win. Yes.
00:27:18.03\00:27:19.37
And, you know, the
nice thing about quinoa
00:27:19.40\00:27:20.74
is not only is it
good for breakfast,
00:27:20.77\00:27:23.30
you could make a big batch of it
00:27:23.34\00:27:24.84
and then use it under stir fry,
00:27:24.87\00:27:26.74
almost any way
that you would use rice
00:27:26.78\00:27:29.18
except the quinoa is
higher in protein than rice,
00:27:29.21\00:27:33.82
higher in fiber than
rice, it's rich in minerals.
00:27:33.85\00:27:36.55
So one cup of quinoa cooked
has eight grams of protein.
00:27:36.58\00:27:40.96
Wow!
00:27:40.99\00:27:42.32
And five grams of
fiber, plus all the minerals,
00:27:42.36\00:27:45.26
so it's just a
really excellent product.
00:27:45.29\00:27:48.50
Yes, and if you don't
want to use wheat as much,
00:27:48.53\00:27:51.13
some people are
gluten sensitive.
00:27:51.17\00:27:54.27
If you don't want to use wheat,
00:27:54.30\00:27:55.64
quinoa is a great
alternative, isn't it?
00:27:55.67\00:27:57.34
It is gluten free.
00:27:57.37\00:27:58.77
Yeah. You are right.
00:27:58.81\00:28:00.14
Yeah, so great.
00:28:00.18\00:28:01.51
One of the things that make
turns people off from quinoa,
00:28:01.54\00:28:04.01
they may have tried
cooking it and didn't rinse it.
00:28:04.05\00:28:06.95
There is a
naturally occurring substance
00:28:06.98\00:28:09.35
on the outside of the
grain, it's like saponins,
00:28:09.38\00:28:12.79
and it has a little
bit of a bitter flavor.
00:28:12.82\00:28:15.36
So if your package of quinoa
does not say pre-rinsed on it,
00:28:15.39\00:28:19.63
then you want to
put it in a sieve,
00:28:19.66\00:28:21.66
rinse it really well,
00:28:21.70\00:28:23.43
stir it with the spoon
while you're running in
00:28:23.47\00:28:25.23
under the water
until the water's
00:28:25.27\00:28:26.60
coming out clear and
that removes the bitterness
00:28:26.63\00:28:29.14
and greatly enhances
the flavor of the quinoa.
00:28:29.17\00:28:31.57
What a great tip. Okay.
00:28:31.61\00:28:33.24
Really, that's a great
tip because I have seen
00:28:33.27\00:28:37.65
pre-rinsed before and
if it's not, it's bitter.
00:28:37.68\00:28:41.35
That is right.
00:28:41.38\00:28:42.72
And so if
someone's buying it in bulk,
00:28:42.75\00:28:44.29
it's not going to be pre-rinsed.
00:28:44.32\00:28:45.65
Right.
00:28:45.69\00:28:47.02
And just even
some packaged brands
00:28:47.06\00:28:48.39
are not rinsed yet,
00:28:48.42\00:28:49.76
better safe than sorry,
rinse if you're not sure.
00:28:49.79\00:28:51.73
Okay? Good. Good.
00:28:51.76\00:28:53.09
Okay, so it's a
fast cooking grain.
00:28:53.13\00:28:55.90
Okay.
00:28:55.93\00:28:57.27
So if you want to go
ahead and put this in our pot.
00:28:57.30\00:28:58.93
Sure.
00:28:58.97\00:29:00.30
There we go.
00:29:03.17\00:29:04.51
And then we're going
to add our water to that.
00:29:04.54\00:29:09.11
Hey, Yvonne, if you would
just put it on the burner?
00:29:09.14\00:29:11.58
Sure.
00:29:11.61\00:29:12.95
And what we would want
to do would be to cover it,
00:29:12.98\00:29:15.92
put the burner on,
00:29:15.95\00:29:17.45
bring it to a simmer
and then let it simmer
00:29:17.49\00:29:21.09
for about 10 to 15 minutes.
00:29:21.12\00:29:22.82
We want to make sure that
all the liquid is absorbed
00:29:22.86\00:29:25.39
and then we know it's
done much like cooking rice.
00:29:25.43\00:29:27.66
Okay. Okay.
00:29:27.70\00:29:29.03
Same principle.
00:29:29.06\00:29:30.40
Same principle, only faster.
00:29:30.43\00:29:31.77
Is it, so you cover
the quinoa with the water
00:29:31.80\00:29:35.17
just like you would rice.
00:29:35.20\00:29:36.71
Yes and it's one cup of
quinoa to two cups of water.
00:29:36.74\00:29:40.48
Okay.
00:29:40.51\00:29:41.84
But after it cooks,
you end up with close
00:29:41.88\00:29:43.28
to four cups of cooked product.
00:29:43.31\00:29:44.65
Oh.
00:29:44.68\00:29:46.01
You could grab
that bowl over there,
00:29:46.05\00:29:47.38
after done quinoa,
we'll just take a look at
00:29:47.42\00:29:49.22
what it's the
finished product is like.
00:29:49.25\00:29:52.99
So we can see
that it's very soft.
00:29:53.02\00:29:57.06
Yes. And fluffy.
00:29:57.09\00:29:58.49
Kind of like couscous.
00:29:58.53\00:30:00.26
Kind of like couscous,
00:30:00.30\00:30:01.83
only whole grain
00:30:01.86\00:30:03.63
and much more
nutritious than couscous.
00:30:03.67\00:30:06.53
But again, stir fry,
put your stir fry on here.
00:30:06.57\00:30:11.37
But today we're going to
eat as a breakfast grain.
00:30:11.41\00:30:13.11
Love it.
00:30:13.14\00:30:14.48
So here's what we're gonna do,
00:30:14.51\00:30:15.84
I'm gonna let you make up
a little breakfast dish here.
00:30:15.88\00:30:17.21
Okay.
00:30:17.25\00:30:18.58
So if we were doing it
according to the recipe,
00:30:18.61\00:30:21.42
we would have about one
cup of quinoa in the bowl.
00:30:21.45\00:30:24.95
Okay, so I'll just add
a little bit more of that.
00:30:24.99\00:30:27.02
Okay.
00:30:27.06\00:30:28.69
Okay.
00:30:28.72\00:30:30.09
And then we're just gonna
round out another one dish meal.
00:30:30.13\00:30:33.80
Love it.
00:30:33.83\00:30:35.16
Love it, dried fruits,
00:30:35.20\00:30:36.53
we've got some raisins for iron.
00:30:36.56\00:30:38.57
I'll just use this spoon. Sure.
00:30:38.60\00:30:42.37
And then we have
some dried apricots here.
00:30:42.40\00:30:45.04
Love it, very high in vitamin
C and beta carotene, love it.
00:30:45.07\00:30:50.31
And flavor.
00:30:50.35\00:30:51.68
Oh, there's this.
00:30:51.71\00:30:53.08
Yes and flavor.
00:30:53.11\00:30:54.45
Let's not forget flavor.
00:30:54.48\00:30:55.82
Flavor, and then any
kind of nut would work.
00:30:55.85\00:30:58.15
We do have walnuts here today
00:30:58.19\00:31:00.72
and then we have
some sunflower seeds.
00:31:00.76\00:31:03.32
These are just
raw sunflower seeds.
00:31:03.36\00:31:05.09
If someone prefers them toasted,
00:31:05.13\00:31:06.56
you could just lightly
toast them in a dry skillet
00:31:06.59\00:31:09.96
and give them that
little extra crunch,
00:31:10.00\00:31:12.20
but we like to eat them raw.
00:31:12.23\00:31:13.64
Yes.
00:31:13.67\00:31:15.00
So, breakfast
in a bowl and then,
00:31:15.04\00:31:19.07
we'll just add some
non-dairy milk to that.
00:31:19.11\00:31:24.25
It's a very
delicious meal, just like that.
00:31:24.28\00:31:27.75
Now, the dried fruit
makes it nice and sweet.
00:31:27.78\00:31:31.65
Right.
00:31:31.69\00:31:33.02
But if it's not
sweet enough for some,
00:31:33.05\00:31:35.99
we have some stevia here.
00:31:36.02\00:31:37.89
Love it.
00:31:37.93\00:31:39.26
Very concentrated.
00:31:39.29\00:31:41.10
So we would just
want to put a small pinch
00:31:41.13\00:31:44.37
and then stir it in.
00:31:44.40\00:31:45.97
Stevia is so sweet.
00:31:46.00\00:31:49.80
I mean, it's unbelievably sweet.
00:31:49.84\00:31:53.68
I use the liquid
stevia and I love lemonade.
00:31:53.71\00:31:57.71
So I'll take the
dried lemon, you know,
00:31:57.75\00:32:00.55
you can buy it in
packets 'cause we travel a lot.
00:32:00.58\00:32:02.52
Oh, yes.
00:32:02.55\00:32:03.89
So buy that and take the packets
00:32:03.92\00:32:05.75
and then just add
liquid stevia drops and water,
00:32:05.79\00:32:09.56
purified water
and I have lemonade.
00:32:09.59\00:32:12.49
So stevia is wonderful.
00:32:12.53\00:32:14.53
This stevia that we
just used is the powdered,
00:32:14.56\00:32:18.83
either one is fine.
00:32:18.87\00:32:20.84
At first you might
have a little aftertaste,
00:32:20.87\00:32:23.20
you know with stevia,
00:32:23.24\00:32:24.57
you might have to get
used to it but the drops
00:32:24.61\00:32:26.47
I got used to it right
away so it's worth trying.
00:32:26.51\00:32:29.08
And there's
different brands. Yes.
00:32:29.11\00:32:30.48
So you could try. That's true.
00:32:30.51\00:32:31.85
There is a different
flavor on the different brands.
00:32:31.88\00:32:33.82
If you don't
like one, try another.
00:32:33.85\00:32:35.58
Yes, don't give
up on your stevia.
00:32:35.62\00:32:37.89
That's right. Yes.
00:32:37.92\00:32:39.25
And the dry
fruits are really sweet
00:32:39.29\00:32:40.89
and the ancient Egyptian kings
00:32:40.92\00:32:42.69
would actually have
them put dried fruits
00:32:42.72\00:32:46.06
in their tombs with them.
00:32:46.09\00:32:47.43
They were such a valued product
00:32:47.46\00:32:49.50
and they have a
great shelf life.
00:32:49.53\00:32:51.93
And if you're traveling,
00:32:51.97\00:32:53.47
and you can't bring a
lot of fresh fruit with you,
00:32:53.50\00:32:56.40
dried fruit is a
wonderful alternative.
00:32:56.44\00:32:58.27
Yes, high in iron, right?
00:32:58.31\00:33:00.41
High in iron, excellent stuff.
00:33:00.44\00:33:02.64
Great, that's great.
00:33:02.68\00:33:04.01
Okay, let's take a
look at our next recipe.
00:33:04.05\00:33:05.38
Okay.
00:33:05.41\00:33:06.85
Garbanzo bean waffles.
00:33:06.88\00:33:08.65
The ingredients are:
00:33:08.68\00:33:10.02
Garbanzo bean waffles,
00:33:30.44\00:33:32.37
I'm just a little,
00:33:32.41\00:33:33.74
I'm trying to wrap my
mind around beans and waffles,
00:33:33.78\00:33:37.11
but I'm trusting
you because so far
00:33:37.15\00:33:39.75
your recipes have been yummy.
00:33:39.78\00:33:41.12
Okay.
00:33:41.15\00:33:42.48
So I'm trusting you.
00:33:42.52\00:33:43.85
So, tell us
about the ingredients
00:33:43.89\00:33:45.22
and then we'll talk some more.
00:33:45.25\00:33:46.59
Okay.
00:33:46.62\00:33:47.96
Well, I did bring
these waffles for my team.
00:33:47.99\00:33:49.82
We'll tell you more
about the team a little later.
00:33:49.86\00:33:52.23
I just served them at breakfast
00:33:52.26\00:33:53.60
and I asked them
guess what's in them.
00:33:53.63\00:33:56.26
They thought they
were regular waffles
00:33:56.30\00:33:58.13
made with wheat
flour and all that, so.
00:33:58.17\00:34:00.30
Okay.
00:34:00.34\00:34:01.67
Something about
turning them into a waffle
00:34:01.70\00:34:03.10
just makes them...
00:34:03.14\00:34:04.91
You can't tell.
00:34:04.94\00:34:06.27
Well, you know it's great
because it's a healthy dish
00:34:06.31\00:34:10.05
and again we'll talk
about the ingredients in a bit,
00:34:10.08\00:34:12.85
but it's healthy
and it's breakfast.
00:34:12.88\00:34:15.18
It's breakfast, that's the goal.
00:34:15.22\00:34:16.89
So what's in it?
00:34:16.92\00:34:18.25
So we have some garbanzo,
these we just soaked overnight.
00:34:18.29\00:34:22.29
Dried garbanzo, you
buy in any grocery store.
00:34:22.32\00:34:25.19
If you need to quick soak
them, bring them to a simmer,
00:34:25.23\00:34:28.10
take it off the stove,
let them set for one hour,
00:34:28.13\00:34:30.17
just the same as
soaking them overnight.
00:34:30.20\00:34:32.30
So we've got one cup
of soaked garbanzos here.
00:34:32.33\00:34:36.24
Then we have one cup of oats.
00:34:36.27\00:34:38.74
Our unbleached sugar
here, a little bit of salt.
00:34:42.78\00:34:47.85
Coconut is optional.
00:34:47.88\00:34:49.62
In this recipe, we're
going to leave it out.
00:34:49.65\00:34:51.39
Thank you because I'm
allergic to coconut flake,
00:34:51.42\00:34:53.82
so and I want to taste it.
00:34:53.86\00:34:56.09
Which means we're
going to use less water,
00:34:56.12\00:34:58.33
the recipe called for two
to two and three quarter cups,
00:34:58.36\00:35:00.96
we're going to
lean toward the two
00:35:01.00\00:35:02.33
and we'll check it as we go.
00:35:02.36\00:35:03.70
Okay.
00:35:03.73\00:35:05.07
We're gonna start
with a little less than
00:35:05.10\00:35:06.43
what we think we need.
00:35:06.47\00:35:07.80
Okay.
00:35:07.84\00:35:09.17
And then we will play with it.
00:35:09.20\00:35:11.44
And that's great.
00:35:11.47\00:35:12.81
You can adjust it
like some people like me
00:35:12.84\00:35:14.31
are allergic to coconut
00:35:14.34\00:35:15.68
and so you don't
have to have it in there,
00:35:15.71\00:35:17.81
but if you like coconut,
it's probably a great addition.
00:35:17.85\00:35:21.32
Yes.
00:35:21.35\00:35:22.68
It adds some flavor.
00:35:22.72\00:35:24.05
So if it's too
thick, you add water,
00:35:33.06\00:35:36.06
and if it's too thin,
00:35:36.10\00:35:38.20
do you add more oats or do you,
if you can't do the coconut,
00:35:38.23\00:35:41.24
what can you do?
00:35:41.27\00:35:42.60
You could add a
little more oats.
00:35:42.64\00:35:43.97
I think the best thing
to do would be to start
00:35:44.01\00:35:45.34
with less water and
then just watch your blender.
00:35:45.37\00:35:48.14
Right.
00:35:48.18\00:35:49.51
When you make the waffles,
00:35:49.54\00:35:51.78
if they come out a
little heavy and dense,
00:35:51.81\00:35:54.68
for your second
one, add a little bit...
00:35:54.72\00:35:56.35
Nice.
00:35:56.38\00:35:57.72
Maybe a tablespoon or two,
00:35:57.75\00:35:59.09
whiz it up again and then do it.
00:35:59.12\00:36:01.52
So after your first one,
00:36:01.56\00:36:02.89
you kind of will get a feel
00:36:02.92\00:36:04.59
for if that's
right for that batter.
00:36:04.63\00:36:06.19
Right.
00:36:06.23\00:36:07.56
We're just gonna
give it a quick spray.
00:36:07.60\00:36:12.23
This recipe does not work
well in a Belgian waffle maker.
00:36:12.27\00:36:17.24
This needs to be your
traditional size waffle.
00:36:17.27\00:36:20.24
Okay.
00:36:20.28\00:36:21.61
You always start in the center?
00:36:21.64\00:36:23.31
Right in the center,
00:36:23.35\00:36:24.81
you don't want to go
all the way to the end...
00:36:24.85\00:36:26.75
Right.
00:36:26.78\00:36:28.12
Because it will explode
out of your waffle iron.
00:36:28.15\00:36:32.45
Well, nice.
00:36:32.49\00:36:34.72
Now, the beams in here
actually act like a leavening.
00:36:34.76\00:36:39.13
When they cook, they will,
00:36:39.16\00:36:42.36
they expand even though
they're blended up like this.
00:36:42.40\00:36:47.27
I try to avoid using
baking powder and baking soda
00:36:47.30\00:36:49.64
in my recipes
because those destroy
00:36:49.67\00:36:51.51
the B vitamins in our food.
00:36:51.54\00:36:53.14
Okay.
00:36:53.17\00:36:54.51
So these are actually
a steam raised waffle.
00:36:54.54\00:36:58.78
So the steam is
actually puffing it up?
00:36:58.81\00:37:02.08
Yes. Nice.
00:37:02.12\00:37:03.45
You know, you can
see my steam here.
00:37:03.49\00:37:04.82
It's going like this, right?
00:37:04.85\00:37:06.19
Yeah, yeah.
00:37:06.22\00:37:07.56
Well, it's the same,
and you can actually see,
00:37:07.59\00:37:08.92
can you see how
it's lifted the plates?
00:37:08.96\00:37:10.29
I can. It has risen inside.
00:37:10.33\00:37:11.66
Yes.
00:37:11.69\00:37:13.03
When you pour, your
plates come down flat
00:37:13.06\00:37:14.40
in a very short time.
00:37:14.43\00:37:15.76
Yeah. You're raised.
00:37:15.80\00:37:17.13
Okay.
00:37:17.17\00:37:18.50
It takes about four minutes.
00:37:18.53\00:37:19.87
So I want to talk a
little bit about these waffles.
00:37:19.90\00:37:21.60
They freeze very well.
00:37:21.64\00:37:23.57
You know, that
is a great feature
00:37:23.61\00:37:25.54
because you can buy,
when you buy frozen waffles,
00:37:25.57\00:37:30.08
they have all this junk in them.
00:37:30.11\00:37:31.95
You know, my rule of
thumb is if you can't pronounce
00:37:31.98\00:37:34.38
what's in your
food, don't buy it.
00:37:34.42\00:37:36.38
That's right.
00:37:36.42\00:37:37.82
So they have all
these ingredients.
00:37:37.85\00:37:39.62
This is so healthy,
00:37:39.65\00:37:41.32
it has whole food
ingredients in here
00:37:41.36\00:37:45.89
and then you can freeze them,
00:37:45.93\00:37:47.30
so you don't have to
eat them all at once.
00:37:47.33\00:37:48.90
That's right.
00:37:48.93\00:37:50.27
You can have
them for another day.
00:37:50.30\00:37:52.27
That's a win-win too.
00:37:52.30\00:37:53.64
Yes. I love that.
00:37:53.67\00:37:55.27
You're making the
breakfast easy for us.
00:37:55.30\00:37:57.41
It's gotta be easy
and then to reheat them,
00:37:57.44\00:38:00.38
so if you froze them,
00:38:00.41\00:38:02.04
just plug your waffle
iron in for maybe a minute,
00:38:02.08\00:38:04.91
pull it out just like
your store bought waffles.
00:38:04.95\00:38:07.88
Just put it in
here for maybe a minute
00:38:07.92\00:38:09.82
and they come out as crisp
00:38:09.85\00:38:11.19
and nice as if
you've just made them.
00:38:11.22\00:38:15.26
You don't have to
re-spray the waffle iron,
00:38:15.29\00:38:17.19
which means you
don't have to rewash.
00:38:17.23\00:38:19.19
Right.
00:38:19.23\00:38:20.56
So it's another fast
way to do your breakfast.
00:38:20.60\00:38:22.96
Right.
00:38:23.00\00:38:24.33
Did have it right
there and you know,
00:38:24.37\00:38:26.70
it's good to get that fiber,
00:38:26.74\00:38:29.07
we've been talking
about in breakfast.
00:38:29.10\00:38:30.97
Beans have that extra fiber,
00:38:31.01\00:38:32.74
you also have
that protein boost,
00:38:32.77\00:38:35.11
and for people with diabetes
or something like you know,
00:38:35.14\00:38:37.98
it's a lifestyle disease,
00:38:38.01\00:38:39.51
beans are actually a very
nice addition to our breakfast
00:38:39.55\00:38:42.35
and this way they're
hidden in your waffle.
00:38:42.38\00:38:44.45
Yes, yes because again,
00:38:44.49\00:38:46.79
beans can slow down
the digestion of glucose,
00:38:46.82\00:38:50.03
the assimilation of glucose.
00:38:50.06\00:38:51.39
That's right.
00:38:51.43\00:38:52.76
And so that
really helps the fiber.
00:38:52.79\00:38:54.76
It's got fiber
and protein, beans.
00:38:54.80\00:38:57.73
So you're getting a twofer.
00:38:57.77\00:38:59.37
That's right. That's right.
00:38:59.40\00:39:01.27
And if you don't really taste
garbanzo beans in your waffles,
00:39:01.30\00:39:05.24
it's like, you
know what I am saying,
00:39:05.27\00:39:06.68
that's like a win-win too.
00:39:06.71\00:39:08.24
Absolutely. So that's great.
00:39:08.28\00:39:10.78
Now I have tried making these
with other beans and grains.
00:39:10.81\00:39:14.62
My favorite way to make them,
00:39:14.65\00:39:16.69
I'm just watching my light here.
00:39:16.72\00:39:18.05
Yeah.
00:39:18.09\00:39:19.42
My favorite way to make
them is with soaked soybeans
00:39:19.45\00:39:22.19
and instead of oats,
I use buckwheat groats.
00:39:22.22\00:39:25.73
That's actually
what I served my team,
00:39:25.76\00:39:27.76
they had no idea that
it was soy and buckwheats
00:39:27.80\00:39:30.27
and most people would
say soya and buckwheat.
00:39:30.30\00:39:32.37
Yeah.
00:39:32.40\00:39:33.74
But it becomes
indistinguishable.
00:39:33.77\00:39:35.10
Right.
00:39:35.14\00:39:36.47
And you also, you're not using
00:39:36.50\00:39:38.94
genetically
modified soy, correct?
00:39:38.97\00:39:40.31
That's correct, that is right.
00:39:40.34\00:39:42.04
'Cause that's been a big
thing recently, you know,
00:39:42.08\00:39:43.95
the discussion,
here's a plate to.
00:39:43.98\00:39:49.45
See, that's a
real mom right there
00:39:49.48\00:39:51.19
who can touch a hot waffle.
00:39:51.22\00:39:55.16
Can you see, Yvonne?
00:39:55.19\00:39:56.52
Can you see all
the air holes in these?
00:39:56.56\00:39:58.46
Yes.
00:39:58.49\00:39:59.83
They are light and crispy, okay.
00:39:59.86\00:40:02.56
We're gonna make toppings
for them in just a minute.
00:40:02.60\00:40:04.83
I wonder if I should
wait, I'll wait for the topping.
00:40:04.87\00:40:07.40
Okay, you're gonna
wait for the topping.
00:40:07.44\00:40:08.77
Yeah, I'll wait for the topping.
00:40:08.80\00:40:10.14
All right, that's
going to be our next recipe.
00:40:10.17\00:40:11.51
Oh, see, perfect
segue. That's right.
00:40:11.54\00:40:13.11
Yes, let's look
at our next recipe.
00:40:13.14\00:40:15.51
Apricot sauce and
the ingredients are:
00:40:15.54\00:40:18.91
I love apricots.
00:40:31.53\00:40:32.86
Oh, good.
00:40:32.89\00:40:34.23
When I was little, well,
00:40:34.26\00:40:35.60
actually all through
from when I was little too
00:40:35.63\00:40:38.23
when I was growing,
00:40:38.27\00:40:39.60
my grandmother used
to make these puffs,
00:40:39.63\00:40:41.37
we called them peach puffs,
00:40:41.40\00:40:43.04
put apricots in them,
00:40:43.07\00:40:44.41
I don't know why we
call them peach, but anyway,
00:40:44.44\00:40:46.17
it was dried and she would
put vanilla sweetener in there
00:40:46.21\00:40:50.95
and cook it and then put
it in dough, and bake it.
00:40:50.98\00:40:55.62
Oh, my word, so
every time I see apricots,
00:40:55.65\00:40:59.89
it conjures up those
feelings from my grandmother
00:40:59.92\00:41:02.62
who made the
apricot, the peach puffs.
00:41:02.66\00:41:05.23
I wonder if this filing
that we're going to make here
00:41:05.26\00:41:08.60
could actually be used
in something like that.
00:41:08.63\00:41:10.97
So you've got me
thinking for my laboratory.
00:41:11.00\00:41:13.27
You know what, it's worth a try.
00:41:13.30\00:41:15.04
It is worth a try. Yes.
00:41:15.07\00:41:16.81
We'll make apricots peach puffs.
00:41:16.84\00:41:18.31
Yay!
00:41:18.34\00:41:19.67
Oh, that's great.
00:41:19.71\00:41:21.04
That would be great.
00:41:21.08\00:41:22.41
Okay.
00:41:22.44\00:41:23.78
So our apricot sauce
is a wonderful topping
00:41:23.81\00:41:27.28
for these waffles...
00:41:27.32\00:41:28.65
Okay. Or just on toast.
00:41:28.68\00:41:31.02
If somebody wanted to make
sweet rolls, they could make,
00:41:31.05\00:41:34.76
us a bread dough, roll it
out in a big rectangular tin
00:41:34.79\00:41:39.69
and then spread some
of this sauce on there,
00:41:39.73\00:41:42.30
sprinkle some
wild chopped walnuts
00:41:42.33\00:41:44.10
or pecans in there,
roll it up and slice it up
00:41:44.13\00:41:48.64
and make sweet
rolls with this sauce.
00:41:48.67\00:41:50.34
It's a pretty versatile sauce.
00:41:50.37\00:41:51.84
That sounds good.
00:41:51.87\00:41:53.21
And you could always eat it
00:41:53.24\00:41:54.58
with a spoon if
you really like it,
00:41:54.61\00:41:57.78
which I sometimes do.
00:41:57.81\00:41:59.48
Okay, so we have
our apricots here.
00:41:59.51\00:42:01.12
Right.
00:42:01.15\00:42:02.48
Now those are just dried,
they're not cooked or anything,
00:42:02.52\00:42:04.22
just dried apricots?
00:42:04.25\00:42:05.59
Just dried apricots, of
course, without the pits, okay?
00:42:05.62\00:42:10.56
It's nice if you
can get them unsulfured.
00:42:10.59\00:42:12.73
It's a little hard
to find them unsulfured,
00:42:12.76\00:42:14.63
but if you can
find them unsulfured
00:42:14.66\00:42:17.20
they're not gonna
have the same bright color,
00:42:17.23\00:42:19.80
but it's
actually a better product.
00:42:19.83\00:42:21.67
Right. Right.
00:42:21.70\00:42:23.04
It sounds better for you.
00:42:23.07\00:42:24.41
And then we're just
going to add one date
00:42:24.44\00:42:26.37
and we have
removed the pit from that.
00:42:26.41\00:42:28.58
These dates are so sweet.
00:42:28.61\00:42:31.05
They're so sweet,
00:42:31.08\00:42:32.41
and they're so good and
you don't need but so much.
00:42:32.45\00:42:34.52
That's right.
00:42:34.55\00:42:35.88
You know, if you're trying to,
00:42:35.92\00:42:37.25
if you are trying not to have it
00:42:37.29\00:42:38.62
too, too sweet, one
day it should do it.
00:42:38.65\00:42:40.89
It should do it and
I was really surprised.
00:42:40.92\00:42:43.93
We've been
doing diabetes classes
00:42:43.96\00:42:46.66
and a comment was made
00:42:46.70\00:42:48.20
that I checked up on
that dates actually have
00:42:48.23\00:42:50.77
a low glycemic index
and a low glycemic load.
00:42:50.80\00:42:55.50
So it's got to be
because of the fiber
00:42:55.54\00:42:58.07
and that slowing down of
the absorption of the sugar.
00:42:58.11\00:43:01.14
Right.
00:43:01.18\00:43:02.51
So they are an excellent
sweetener superior to sugar
00:43:02.54\00:43:05.85
because of the fiber
and the other nutrients
00:43:05.88\00:43:07.95
that you're gonna find
just in the natural fruit.
00:43:07.98\00:43:10.09
Right.
00:43:10.12\00:43:11.45
I would not have thought
00:43:11.49\00:43:12.82
that it's low on
the glycemic index.
00:43:12.85\00:43:14.86
I was very
surprised to find that out.
00:43:14.89\00:43:16.73
Nice, it's good information.
00:43:16.76\00:43:18.66
Okay.
00:43:18.69\00:43:20.13
Then we have a
little bit of lemon juice
00:43:20.16\00:43:21.90
which gives a little
more zip to those apricots
00:43:21.93\00:43:24.40
which already have a
nice little zip to them.
00:43:24.43\00:43:25.80
They do. They do.
00:43:25.83\00:43:27.40
Especially the dried ones.
00:43:27.44\00:43:29.10
And then we have a vanilla.
00:43:29.14\00:43:30.47
Now this is clear vanilla.
00:43:30.51\00:43:32.01
You know, I've been
noticing that it was clear
00:43:32.04\00:43:35.58
and that's interesting
'cause I haven't seen
00:43:35.61\00:43:37.21
a clear vanilla before.
00:43:37.25\00:43:38.78
So y'all thought
I forgot my vanilla
00:43:38.81\00:43:41.08
and was substituting with iron.
00:43:41.12\00:43:42.45
Do I have to say, I did.
00:43:42.48\00:43:46.42
Well, it's just a clear.
00:43:46.45\00:43:47.79
I'm glad to know
that this is real vanilla.
00:43:47.82\00:43:49.46
This is real vanilla, okay.
00:43:49.49\00:43:50.86
So we've got our clear vanilla.
00:43:50.89\00:43:52.39
Okay.
00:43:52.43\00:43:54.00
I love vanilla too, it
just enhances everything.
00:43:54.03\00:43:56.63
It does.
00:43:56.67\00:43:58.07
I just takes a little too.
00:43:58.10\00:43:59.93
And then we have our pineapple
00:43:59.97\00:44:01.30
and these are
just pineapple tidbits.
00:44:01.34\00:44:03.07
You could use
pineapple chunks and imagine,
00:44:03.10\00:44:05.67
you could even use
fresh pineapple if you'd like.
00:44:05.71\00:44:09.31
And these are
unsweetened, right?
00:44:09.34\00:44:10.68
So sweetened in their own juice?
00:44:10.71\00:44:12.05
Just in their own juice. Good.
00:44:12.08\00:44:13.52
Now, what we've done
is we've drained the can,
00:44:13.55\00:44:16.65
because we don't want
to use all this liquid,
00:44:16.69\00:44:18.42
we want this to be a
thick sauce, not runny.
00:44:18.45\00:44:22.72
So we've reserved the
pineapple juice on the side
00:44:22.76\00:44:26.43
so that we can adjust it
how we'd like to have it.
00:44:26.46\00:44:29.26
So I'm gonna put
half of it back in
00:44:29.30\00:44:31.63
so that we're able to blend
00:44:31.67\00:44:34.34
and then we can add
more as we think we like it.
00:44:34.37\00:44:39.27
So again, a powerful
blender comes in handy.
00:44:39.31\00:44:41.78
If you do not have
a powerful blender,
00:44:41.81\00:44:43.85
just soak those dried
fruits in the pineapple juice
00:44:43.88\00:44:46.78
or with the pineapple
for half an hour or so
00:44:46.82\00:44:49.42
and let them soften up.
00:44:49.45\00:44:51.92
I will say that
buying quality kitchen tools
00:44:51.95\00:44:56.73
makes spending time in
the kitchen a whole lot nicer.
00:44:56.76\00:45:00.43
Yes.
00:45:00.46\00:45:01.80
And you know we find money
00:45:01.83\00:45:03.87
for the things that
are really important to us,
00:45:03.90\00:45:06.13
and I honestly would not
enjoy cooking in my kitchen
00:45:06.17\00:45:08.80
if I didn't have
sharp knives, good blender.
00:45:08.84\00:45:12.11
Yes.
00:45:12.14\00:45:13.48
You know, quality cookware
00:45:13.51\00:45:14.84
and you don't have to
have the most expensive,
00:45:14.88\00:45:16.85
but we want to get the
best quality we can afford.
00:45:16.88\00:45:19.11
I agree, it makes it,
00:45:19.15\00:45:21.38
some of these
things like recently
00:45:21.42\00:45:23.02
I got the one
of those instant...
00:45:23.05\00:45:25.29
Well, me too, I just got one.
00:45:25.32\00:45:26.65
I wanna say little brand.
00:45:26.69\00:45:28.16
Oh, my goodness,
00:45:28.19\00:45:30.06
I mean it's one of
my favorite toys like,
00:45:30.09\00:45:33.40
what did I do before I got it?
00:45:33.43\00:45:35.76
It's a pressure
cooker, it's a slow cooker,
00:45:35.80\00:45:37.40
it's a sauter,
it does all of that,
00:45:37.43\00:45:39.97
and I've been getting
it from gifts and as gifts
00:45:40.00\00:45:42.34
for relatives
and thing, it's fab.
00:45:42.37\00:45:45.51
It's great because it
cuts down your kitchen time.
00:45:45.54\00:45:48.28
You don't want to be
in the kitchen forever.
00:45:48.31\00:45:50.58
That's why these
dishes are so great.
00:45:50.61\00:45:53.75
You're making breakfast
dishes that can be made
00:45:53.78\00:45:57.12
and pre-prepared.
00:45:57.15\00:45:58.65
This is great
because nobody, well,
00:45:58.69\00:46:00.99
except people who
love to be in the kitchen.
00:46:01.02\00:46:02.46
That's true.
00:46:02.49\00:46:03.83
But if you're really busy,
00:46:03.86\00:46:05.39
you don't have time to
just stay in the kitchen
00:46:05.43\00:46:07.16
all the time,
so this is perfect.
00:46:07.20\00:46:09.13
This is really perfect.
00:46:09.16\00:46:10.50
And we don't
have time to be sick.
00:46:10.53\00:46:12.00
Yes.
00:46:12.03\00:46:13.37
So, we might
say, well, you know,
00:46:13.40\00:46:14.74
I don't have time to
eat a healthy breakfast,
00:46:14.77\00:46:16.57
I'm going to live
on donuts and pastries
00:46:16.60\00:46:18.34
and all those other things.
00:46:18.37\00:46:20.31
But if you don't have
time to be healthy now,
00:46:20.34\00:46:22.54
you will take time to
be recuperating later.
00:46:22.58\00:46:26.01
That's right.
00:46:26.05\00:46:27.38
You're gonna pay at
one end or the other.
00:46:27.42\00:46:28.75
One end or the other.
00:46:28.78\00:46:30.12
You're gonna pay.
00:46:30.15\00:46:31.49
And you know,
sometimes people will say,
00:46:31.52\00:46:32.85
well, the dried
fruits or the fresh fruits
00:46:32.89\00:46:35.12
or the nuts are expensive.
00:46:35.16\00:46:38.56
You're just
investing ahead of time
00:46:38.59\00:46:41.06
so that you don't
have to pay later.
00:46:41.10\00:46:43.06
And if you can, you know,
00:46:43.10\00:46:45.53
get a membership in
one of these warehouse type
00:46:45.57\00:46:48.04
buying places where
you can buy your nuts
00:46:48.07\00:46:50.27
in a three or five pound
bag and your dried fruits
00:46:50.31\00:46:54.18
and vegetables in
a large frozen bag.
00:46:54.21\00:46:57.55
The price is gonna come down
and they will last a long time.
00:46:57.58\00:47:01.95
A bag of
apricots, dried apricots,
00:47:01.98\00:47:04.22
we're using very small amounts,
will last you a long time.
00:47:04.25\00:47:07.22
Yes.
00:47:07.26\00:47:08.59
You're
stretching the expense out
00:47:08.62\00:47:10.23
and you're saving your health.
00:47:10.26\00:47:11.59
That's right.
00:47:11.63\00:47:12.96
And money without health.
00:47:12.99\00:47:15.06
What good is
it? What good is it?
00:47:15.10\00:47:16.43
What good is it?
00:47:16.46\00:47:17.80
This is great.
00:47:17.83\00:47:19.17
This is great
information and yummy.
00:47:19.20\00:47:20.94
And yummy,
that's the bottom line.
00:47:20.97\00:47:22.47
That's our word
for the day, yummy.
00:47:22.50\00:47:25.04
Okay.
00:47:25.07\00:47:26.41
So these have had a
little chance to soak here.
00:47:26.44\00:47:28.44
So let's see how we do.
00:47:28.48\00:47:30.01
We turn that down
so we don't explode.
00:47:30.05\00:47:31.98
There we go.
00:47:57.87\00:47:59.21
Okay, I think we don't
need any more liquid in there,
00:48:08.08\00:48:10.85
that is just right.
00:48:10.89\00:48:13.62
And if we wanted it
thicker, little less juice.
00:48:13.66\00:48:15.96
Okay.
00:48:15.99\00:48:17.33
I'm gonna pour it in here
and then we'll let you have
00:48:17.36\00:48:18.69
some wonderful waffle.
00:48:18.73\00:48:20.06
Okay, great.
00:48:20.10\00:48:21.43
Let me pour it this way so.
00:48:21.46\00:48:22.80
I'll just take a little edge.
00:48:22.83\00:48:24.20
Okay, okay, we'll
just do that for now.
00:48:24.23\00:48:28.84
All right.
00:48:28.87\00:48:30.21
I'm gonna just.
00:48:30.24\00:48:31.57
Pre-cut it. Pre-cut it.
00:48:31.61\00:48:32.94
I should have
re-warmed your waffle for you,
00:48:32.97\00:48:34.64
wouldn't that
be nice and crispy.
00:48:34.68\00:48:36.38
That's all right.
00:48:36.41\00:48:37.75
I'm just gonna use my fingers
as I am the one eating it.
00:48:37.78\00:48:39.15
That's it.
00:48:39.18\00:48:40.52
All right, let me
give you some sauce to dip.
00:48:40.55\00:48:43.72
Yeah.
00:48:43.75\00:48:45.35
Pass the test?
00:48:53.29\00:48:54.76
Absolutely. Okay.
00:48:54.80\00:48:56.13
Okay, very good.
00:48:56.16\00:48:57.50
You can't tell that
it's made with beans.
00:48:57.53\00:48:59.33
No, you cannot and
those beans, like I said,
00:48:59.37\00:49:03.67
give it the airiness.
00:49:03.71\00:49:05.04
That's why all these air holes
are in here 'cause the beans
00:49:05.07\00:49:07.54
just steam up.
00:49:07.58\00:49:09.08
And I love the sauce.
00:49:09.11\00:49:12.08
You like apricots.
00:49:12.11\00:49:13.45
I love apricots.
00:49:13.48\00:49:14.82
So it works. This
is so good, really.
00:49:14.85\00:49:16.99
You definitely want to try this.
00:49:17.02\00:49:18.59
And then if you
wanted more on there, again,
00:49:18.62\00:49:21.59
some chopped nuts on there
would also make it very nice
00:49:21.62\00:49:24.33
and then some food on the side,
00:49:24.36\00:49:26.23
you'd have a really lovely meal.
00:49:26.26\00:49:27.86
So that and you can freeze this.
00:49:27.90\00:49:31.10
That's what, now can
you freeze the sauce or no?
00:49:31.13\00:49:33.70
I would think yes, I
have never tried we eat it.
00:49:33.74\00:49:37.34
But there is
absolutely no reason
00:49:37.37\00:49:38.84
why that sauce cannot be frozen.
00:49:38.87\00:49:40.28
Oh, that's great.
00:49:40.31\00:49:41.64
You freeze it in smaller amounts
00:49:41.68\00:49:43.01
and just take it out
00:49:43.04\00:49:44.38
or put in the microwave
to defrost it real fast.
00:49:44.41\00:49:46.38
I love it.
00:49:46.41\00:49:47.75
That's great.
00:49:47.78\00:49:49.12
Well, let's go
to our next recipe.
00:49:49.15\00:49:50.49
Okay. Okay.
00:49:50.52\00:49:51.85
It's going to be
glorified applesauce topping
00:49:51.89\00:49:53.79
and the ingredients are:
00:49:53.82\00:49:55.52
I love every ingredient in it.
00:50:08.47\00:50:10.11
Oh. I do, I love that.
00:50:10.14\00:50:12.87
Well, this is a recipe
00:50:12.91\00:50:14.24
that the four year old can make.
00:50:14.28\00:50:15.61
Okay.
00:50:15.64\00:50:16.98
All right, so my
mom's making waffles.
00:50:17.01\00:50:18.35
Yes.
00:50:18.38\00:50:19.71
Toddler or the young child
00:50:19.75\00:50:21.08
can be making this
for them waffle topping.
00:50:21.12\00:50:22.58
Love it. All right.
00:50:22.62\00:50:24.32
So we have some no
sugar applesauce here.
00:50:24.35\00:50:29.62
And it's already
pretty naturally sweet.
00:50:29.66\00:50:31.46
So you really don't
have to add a sweetener.
00:50:31.49\00:50:34.36
That's right,
but I tell you what?
00:50:34.40\00:50:35.93
This dried fruit is
gonna make it sweeter.
00:50:35.96\00:50:37.50
Oh, that's gonna be so good.
00:50:37.53\00:50:39.33
Absolutely. I love that...
00:50:39.37\00:50:42.30
blueberries.
00:50:42.34\00:50:43.67
I have
blueberries almost every day.
00:50:43.71\00:50:45.24
Is that right?
00:50:45.27\00:50:46.61
They're great for the brain.
00:50:46.64\00:50:47.98
Oh.
00:50:48.01\00:50:49.34
They're great for,
00:50:49.38\00:50:50.71
they have something
called proanthocyanidins
00:50:50.75\00:50:52.08
in them that they're
just anti-carcinogenic.
00:50:52.11\00:50:55.78
They're just
really, really good for you.
00:50:55.82\00:50:57.45
So I have frozen
blueberries with walnuts
00:50:57.49\00:51:00.59
just about
every day and love it.
00:51:00.62\00:51:02.92
You can use frozen
blueberries in this recipe.
00:51:02.96\00:51:05.99
Oh, okay.
00:51:06.03\00:51:07.36
No problem, just
make it the night before
00:51:07.40\00:51:08.86
and in the
morning the blueberries
00:51:08.90\00:51:10.67
when they defrost in this,
00:51:10.70\00:51:12.03
they are almost like fresh.
00:51:12.07\00:51:13.47
So you can go ahead
and we had these beautiful
00:51:13.50\00:51:16.71
of fresh ones but frozen is how
I normally make them at home.
00:51:16.74\00:51:20.11
Good.
00:51:20.14\00:51:21.48
So you were talking about
phytochemicals, weren't you?
00:51:21.51\00:51:23.45
Oh, yes, there are all
kinds of phyto nutrients
00:51:23.48\00:51:26.35
in fruits and vegetables.
00:51:26.38\00:51:28.12
And if we increase
our fruits and vegetables
00:51:28.15\00:51:31.45
that's just one basic thing
you can do to get healthier.
00:51:31.49\00:51:34.26
Yes.
00:51:34.29\00:51:35.62
It makes such a huge
difference like the blueberries.
00:51:35.66\00:51:38.19
Like the blueberries. Yes.
00:51:38.23\00:51:39.63
You know I have a note here
00:51:39.66\00:51:41.03
the World Health Organization
says that 2.7 million lives
00:51:41.06\00:51:45.40
could be saved if people
00:51:45.43\00:51:47.47
increase their
fruits and vegetables.
00:51:47.50\00:51:48.84
Wow.
00:51:48.87\00:51:50.21
So I'm gonna add some
raisins, again, sweet.
00:51:50.24\00:51:52.77
Okay.
00:51:52.81\00:51:54.14
And then we have
reduced sugar dried cranberries.
00:51:54.18\00:51:57.25
And that's
important because the less
00:51:57.28\00:51:59.38
processed sugar
you eat, the better.
00:51:59.41\00:52:01.58
Colorful.
00:52:01.62\00:52:02.95
Sure is.
00:52:02.98\00:52:04.32
Let this set overnight,
00:52:04.35\00:52:05.92
just soften up those
fruit on your waffle.
00:52:05.95\00:52:08.62
Oh, hey, you know what, we
should try it on my waffle.
00:52:08.66\00:52:10.79
It's colorful and that
you know different fruits
00:52:15.16\00:52:18.30
and different
fruits and dried fruits
00:52:18.33\00:52:20.20
could all be added in here.
00:52:20.24\00:52:21.57
Yeah, yes. Let's try it.
00:52:21.60\00:52:22.94
All right.
00:52:22.97\00:52:24.31
And then we're
going to let people know.
00:52:24.34\00:52:25.67
Now that hasn't had a chance
00:52:25.71\00:52:27.04
to soak so it's going
to be a little bit chewy.
00:52:27.08\00:52:28.41
That's okay. Let's try it.
00:52:28.44\00:52:29.78
All right.
00:52:29.81\00:52:32.15
The dark fruits like
that are especially rich
00:52:32.18\00:52:35.62
in phytochemicals.
00:52:35.65\00:52:37.15
So the blueberries
and the dried cranberries,
00:52:37.19\00:52:39.29
very, very good.
00:52:39.32\00:52:41.19
It's got this sweet
tart thing going on.
00:52:41.22\00:52:43.83
Wow, the cranberries, yes.
00:52:43.86\00:52:46.09
This has only 43
calories in a quarter of a cup.
00:52:46.13\00:52:49.43
If you have two tablespoons
of butter and two tablespoons
00:52:49.46\00:52:51.63
of maple syrup on your
waffle, you have 300 calories.
00:52:51.67\00:52:55.44
So adding a fruit
topping really saves you a lot
00:52:55.47\00:52:58.11
of calories as
well as increased fiber,
00:52:58.14\00:53:01.91
more minerals and vitamins.
00:53:01.94\00:53:04.11
That is so good.
00:53:04.15\00:53:06.92
You're going to have
to make this at home.
00:53:06.95\00:53:10.55
How often do you
make this for your family?
00:53:10.59\00:53:12.65
Oh, we eat waffles. Do you?
00:53:12.69\00:53:15.22
Yes, regularly,
00:53:15.26\00:53:16.73
most of this food are
staple foods in our home.
00:53:16.76\00:53:19.09
As much as I love to cook, I
still like to keep it simple.
00:53:19.13\00:53:22.36
It's got to be fast and easy.
00:53:22.40\00:53:23.80
I don't want to be
slaving in the kitchen,
00:53:23.83\00:53:25.20
I want to cook and eat.
00:53:25.23\00:53:27.27
Yes.
00:53:27.30\00:53:28.64
The challenge is do
not talk while I am eating.
00:53:28.67\00:53:32.84
That's a challenge,
okay. That's a challenge, okay.
00:53:32.87\00:53:35.71
What we want to
do is let people know
00:53:35.74\00:53:37.71
how to reach you.
00:53:37.75\00:53:39.08

All right, we have a
French toast casserole
00:54:38.37\00:54:41.51
with the pineapple topping.
00:54:41.54\00:54:43.91
Our maple nut soft serve.
00:54:43.95\00:54:47.05
Then we have our
baked breakfast grains
00:54:47.08\00:54:49.48
with the quinoa
and the steel-cut oats.
00:54:49.52\00:54:53.39
We have a quinoa breakfast bowl
with the fruit and the nuts,
00:54:53.42\00:54:56.62
our waffles,
00:54:56.66\00:54:58.83
apricot sauce and
glorified applesauce.
00:54:58.86\00:55:04.30
Wonderful.
00:55:04.33\00:55:05.67
This is so good.
00:55:05.70\00:55:07.07
You have to try these
00:55:07.10\00:55:08.44
and in fact you have a cookbook.
00:55:08.47\00:55:09.80
I do.
00:55:09.84\00:55:11.17
Tell us about the cookbook?
00:55:11.21\00:55:12.54
The cookbook has
about 160 recipes in it,
00:55:12.57\00:55:15.84
130 of them are gluten
free for those who need that
00:55:15.88\00:55:19.21
and we didn't plan it that way.
00:55:19.25\00:55:21.25
That just the way it worked out.
00:55:21.28\00:55:23.25
So they're yummy
00:55:23.28\00:55:24.65
and many of them are gluten free
00:55:24.69\00:55:27.22
and there's a big variety
from breakfast to desserts.
00:55:27.26\00:55:29.99
Oh, that's so good.
00:55:30.03\00:55:31.46
If you're transitioning
and you want to know
00:55:31.49\00:55:33.43
how to cook some
really good vegan meals,
00:55:33.46\00:55:37.53
get her cookbook
and just practice.
00:55:37.57\00:55:40.44
Make your
kitchen your laboratory.
00:55:40.47\00:55:42.57
There we go.
00:55:42.60\00:55:43.94
Tell us about, you
had a wonderful team
00:55:43.97\00:55:45.77
that assisted you.
00:55:45.81\00:55:47.21
Tell us a little
bit about them as well?
00:55:47.24\00:55:48.78
Two precious
sisters in the Lord,
00:55:48.81\00:55:50.58
Angela Hyde and
Leseth Jones have joined me.
00:55:50.61\00:55:53.95
Leseth was here
last time I was here.
00:55:53.98\00:55:57.39
They know how to cook.
00:55:57.42\00:55:58.75
They know how to decorate.
00:55:58.79\00:56:00.56
Just supportive
prayerful, great prayer team.
00:56:00.59\00:56:03.16
Yes, amen.

00:56:06.29\00:56:08.73

00:56:08.76\00:56:11.47
We just hope to enlarge
it as far as getting people
00:56:11.50\00:56:14.74
in from the community,
which is why we're expanding.
00:56:14.77\00:56:17.37
We're expanding in our library
outreach and things like that
00:56:17.41\00:56:20.38
to try to just
get the public aware.
00:56:20.41\00:56:22.34
That's great. That's great.
00:56:22.38\00:56:23.95
Awareness is key.
00:56:23.98\00:56:25.38
Test these recipes,
try them on your families.
00:56:25.41\00:56:28.78
They will love them.
00:56:28.82\00:56:30.15
Thank you so
much for joining us.
