00:00:07.40\00:00:12.24
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.27\00:00:18.45
Removing pain
00:00:18.48\00:00:23.52
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.55\00:00:29.76
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.79\00:00:34.36
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.40\00:00:40.00
Mending broken people
00:00:40.04\00:00:45.57
I want to spend my life

Hello and welcome to another
3ABN Today cooking program.
00:01:09.30\00:01:13.94
I'm your host, Melody Caviness
00:01:13.97\00:01:15.94
along with Rendall
Caviness, my husband.
00:01:15.97\00:01:19.61
Today we want to
take you into our home,
00:01:19.64\00:01:22.34
show you some of the
recipes that we do on Christmas.
00:01:22.38\00:01:25.45
Yes, this is a Christmas program
00:01:25.48\00:01:26.88
or you wouldn't see me in red.
00:01:26.92\00:01:29.18
Mostly, everybody says,
"All you ever wear is black."
00:01:29.22\00:01:31.15
I love black.
00:01:31.19\00:01:32.52
But today, we wanna feed you
00:01:32.55\00:01:33.89
with some of
these holiday favorites
00:01:33.92\00:01:36.46
that we love in our home.
00:01:36.49\00:01:38.46
I wanna just go
through some of the recipes
00:01:38.49\00:01:40.40
before we get
started, if you don't mind.
00:01:40.43\00:01:44.90
The Christmas brunch
casserole, you love that one.
00:01:44.93\00:01:47.94
My husband loves tofu.
00:01:47.97\00:01:49.57
Avocado toast.
00:01:49.60\00:01:52.07
Our apple-spice
pancakes and apple topping.
00:01:52.11\00:01:56.41
Polenta.
00:01:56.44\00:01:57.91
And this is a spicy polenta.
00:01:57.95\00:02:00.52
Lemon cranberry bunt cake.
00:02:00.55\00:02:03.62
And our cranberry breeze.
00:02:03.65\00:02:06.15
All right.
00:02:06.19\00:02:07.52
Yes, we love these.
00:02:07.56\00:02:08.89
They're so special.
00:02:08.92\00:02:10.26
You know, lot of
people would do a heavy lunch
00:02:10.29\00:02:12.69
during the
holidays but in our family,
00:02:12.73\00:02:14.40
Rendall, haven't you noticed
00:02:14.43\00:02:15.96
that we've got kids
going to grandparents.
00:02:16.00\00:02:18.33
We've got
brother-in-laws, father-in-laws,
00:02:18.37\00:02:20.64
all these
different areas they go to.
00:02:20.67\00:02:22.60
So we like to get
up in the morning,
00:02:22.64\00:02:23.97
maybe open our presents
and have a brunch instead.
00:02:24.01\00:02:27.18
And then meet with the
family for the evening meal.
00:02:27.21\00:02:30.18
That's right. We do.
00:02:30.21\00:02:31.88
And, of course,
00:02:31.91\00:02:33.31
I think my favorite part
is probably the presents.
00:02:33.35\00:02:37.32
Although I don't like surprises,
00:02:37.35\00:02:38.79
my husband can tell you.
00:02:38.82\00:02:40.16
She doesn't like
surprises. I hate surprises.
00:02:40.19\00:02:42.19
But you know, I do
love to cook and guess what?
00:02:42.22\00:02:44.89
My husband loves to eat.
00:02:44.93\00:02:46.70
So together, we're here
today to show you some of these.
00:02:46.73\00:02:49.86
Why don't we go to
our first recipe, Rendall?
00:02:49.90\00:02:52.23
Would you mind reading
the ingredients to this?
00:02:52.27\00:02:54.54
Sure.
00:02:54.57\00:02:55.90
You love this recipe, don't you?
00:03:48.02\00:03:49.59
I do.
00:03:49.62\00:03:51.06
Honestly,
though he loves to eat.
00:03:51.09\00:03:52.73
I do too, but it seems like
I do both eating and cooking.
00:03:52.76\00:03:56.03
You know, Honey, I am going
to let you help me with this.
00:03:56.06\00:03:58.63
All right.
00:03:58.67\00:04:00.00
I know I'm usually the
one that does most of this
00:04:00.04\00:04:01.44
in the kitchen
and you're the taster.
00:04:01.47\00:04:03.34
But I want you to
put on your gloves
00:04:03.37\00:04:05.04
'cause there's nothing
like just getting in there
00:04:05.07\00:04:07.34
and getting with it, you know.
00:04:07.38\00:04:08.84
Just grab that
tofu and smash it up.
00:04:08.88\00:04:11.81
All right.
00:04:11.85\00:04:13.18
I know sometimes
people call it smashing.
00:04:13.21\00:04:15.88
But I want to take the tofu here
00:04:15.92\00:04:18.15
and we want to crumble it up.
00:04:18.19\00:04:19.72
Because basically,
this casserole entails
00:04:19.75\00:04:22.36
having the
potatoes, having the tofu,
00:04:22.39\00:04:24.59
having the onions.
00:04:24.63\00:04:25.96
It's just got
everything together,
00:04:25.99\00:04:27.33
so you don't have to
have different segments
00:04:27.36\00:04:29.00
like potatoes in one
dish and tofu in another dish.
00:04:29.03\00:04:32.53
We've combined it all
for one big casserole.
00:04:32.57\00:04:34.50
You're gonna love
this dish, I promise.
00:04:34.54\00:04:36.54
Got 'em on? All right.
00:04:36.57\00:04:38.04
All right.
00:04:38.07\00:04:39.41
Now first, in that bowl,
00:04:39.44\00:04:40.78
I want you to put
the tofu in there.
00:04:40.81\00:04:42.54
And I want you to smash
it all like really good.
00:04:42.58\00:04:44.45
You know I want
in there with you.
00:04:44.48\00:04:45.81
I just wanna smash all that up.
00:04:45.85\00:04:47.45
But you don't like cold.
00:04:47.48\00:04:48.82
I don't like
cold. That's the truth.
00:04:48.85\00:04:50.82
I can't stand one thing.
My hands get really cold.
00:04:50.85\00:04:53.09
So lot of times he does the tofu
00:04:53.12\00:04:54.82
"smashing," as I call it.
00:04:54.86\00:04:56.19
Most of the time.
00:04:56.22\00:04:57.56
Yeah, most of the time.
00:04:57.59\00:04:59.33
Pretty much all the time, right?
00:04:59.36\00:05:00.80
Yeah, you do.
00:05:00.83\00:05:03.50
I think we're close.
I think you're close.
00:05:03.53\00:05:05.30
And if you don't mind,
00:05:05.33\00:05:06.67
I'm just gonna start
adding things in here.
00:05:06.70\00:05:08.27
This is the green
onion. I love onion.
00:05:08.30\00:05:11.27
If you don't like green onion,
00:05:11.31\00:05:13.21
don't put it
in, but red peppers.
00:05:13.24\00:05:16.58
Now what holiday is this?
00:05:16.61\00:05:18.58
This is Christmas. Certainly.
00:05:18.61\00:05:19.95
We want color.
00:05:19.98\00:05:21.32
So we want red and
green in our tofu bake here.
00:05:21.35\00:05:25.19
Now let me put
this in here, too.
00:05:25.22\00:05:28.39
If you want to, Honey,
00:05:28.42\00:05:29.76
take that spoon
and mix that together.
00:05:29.79\00:05:32.19
No, I'm gonna trade you spoons.
00:05:32.23\00:05:33.56
You know me, I'm fickle.
00:05:33.60\00:05:34.93
I won't trade
spoons with you there.
00:05:34.96\00:05:37.63
We're just gonna... I
think I can use my hand.
00:05:37.67\00:05:39.43
And this is an
easy recipe too, folks.
00:05:39.47\00:05:42.04
In a bowl, in the oven, boom.
00:05:42.07\00:05:44.21
Let it bake.
00:05:44.24\00:05:46.27
Yes, since you
got the gloves on.
00:05:46.31\00:05:47.74
Now I'm gonna add some
more weight here to you.
00:05:47.78\00:05:51.08
So I am going to
put the hash browns.
00:05:51.11\00:05:54.82
Now you can go to the store
00:05:54.85\00:05:56.18
and buy some of
the frozen hash browns.
00:05:56.22\00:05:59.05
You can take your
potatoes ahead of time,
00:05:59.09\00:06:01.72
boil them and hash
brown 'em yourself.
00:06:01.76\00:06:04.69
Some people
might wanna cube 'em.
00:06:04.73\00:06:06.26
That's okay,
too. Make it your own.
00:06:06.29\00:06:08.56
And I love using a
little bit of the brine.
00:06:12.70\00:06:16.14
I don't use a lot
of salt in my recipes.
00:06:16.17\00:06:18.61
But on the green canned olives,
00:06:18.64\00:06:21.34
I don't mind
using some of that brine
00:06:21.38\00:06:23.18
because it's
really low in sodium.
00:06:23.21\00:06:25.61
And it adds a really good flavor
00:06:25.65\00:06:27.28
to casseroles,
meatless casseroles
00:06:27.32\00:06:29.92
and also to this
breakfast casserole.
00:06:29.95\00:06:31.65
It's getting there.
00:06:31.69\00:06:33.02
It is getting there, isn't it?
00:06:33.05\00:06:36.73
How about if I give
you some cheesy sauce?
00:06:36.76\00:06:38.63
My favorite.
00:06:38.66\00:06:40.00
You do love
cheesy sauce, don't you?
00:06:40.03\00:06:42.20
What is it you like to
make with cheesy sauce?
00:06:42.23\00:06:44.10
I love to take
tortilla chips the salt ground
00:06:44.13\00:06:48.80
and cut them up in quarters,
00:06:48.84\00:06:50.21
put them in the
oven, toast them.
00:06:50.24\00:06:52.84
He makes his own tortilla chips.
00:06:52.87\00:06:54.21
Yes, he does.
00:06:54.24\00:06:55.58
And little bit
jalapeno with that is great.
00:06:55.61\00:06:56.95
I know.
00:06:56.98\00:06:58.31
You would put
jalapeno in here, wouldn't you?
00:06:58.35\00:06:59.85
Yes.
00:06:59.88\00:07:01.82
Now I've got some onion powder.
00:07:01.85\00:07:05.49
And this is the sour cream.
00:07:05.52\00:07:07.42
You know, for years,
all we had on the market
00:07:07.46\00:07:09.66
was Tofutti brand sour cream.
00:07:09.69\00:07:11.59
But there are
other varieties out there
00:07:11.63\00:07:13.26
and even though this is what
it calls for in this recipe,
00:07:13.29\00:07:16.36
it's because what I
can find in my area.
00:07:16.40\00:07:18.67
So you might wanna
just whatever you have
00:07:18.70\00:07:20.80
as long as it's vegan.
00:07:20.84\00:07:22.87
There are some other
brands out on the market now.
00:07:22.90\00:07:26.37
And that's what
he's gonna put in now.
00:07:26.41\00:07:30.48
Smells really good already.
00:07:30.51\00:07:32.05
Does it? Yay!
00:07:32.08\00:07:34.88
You know they say
00:07:34.92\00:07:36.25
half of it just getting
through the smell of it.
00:07:36.28\00:07:41.62
It looks good to go. Okay.
00:07:41.66\00:07:43.86
Now what I'm gonna do is
00:07:43.89\00:07:45.33
I'm gonna add some of
the cheddar style cheese.
00:07:45.36\00:07:49.26
I wanna save a
little bit for on the top.
00:07:49.30\00:07:52.03
So when it's baked,
00:07:52.07\00:07:53.60
it bakes in the
oven for like 350 degrees
00:07:53.64\00:07:56.71
just enough to get your
bell peppers and your onions,
00:07:56.74\00:07:59.14
which usually
takes about 25-30 minutes
00:07:59.17\00:08:02.14
based on your oven.
00:08:02.18\00:08:03.71
And then just about five minutes
00:08:03.75\00:08:05.65
when the casserole is done,
00:08:05.68\00:08:07.02
I add some of that
00:08:07.05\00:08:08.38
cheddar style
cheese over the top
00:08:08.42\00:08:09.92
and maybe a few
green onions for color.
00:08:09.95\00:08:12.69
You're good. Thank you.
00:08:12.72\00:08:14.16
Now...
00:08:14.19\00:08:15.69
I mean this is good. Oh.
00:08:15.72\00:08:17.13
Yes, you are, dear.
00:08:17.16\00:08:18.66
Now let's go ahead
00:08:18.69\00:08:20.26
and you might wanna
pop those gloves off.
00:08:20.30\00:08:25.40
And we're gonna add it
to this casserole dish here.
00:08:25.43\00:08:29.44
I'll let you do this now that
you've got those gloves off.
00:08:33.71\00:08:36.95
Fill that up for me.
00:08:36.98\00:08:38.45
And I'm gonna get
some of these ready
00:08:38.48\00:08:40.38
and clean up a
little bit of our mess.
00:08:40.42\00:08:44.19
That already looks pretty
00:08:44.22\00:08:45.55
and it hasn't even
been in the oven yet.
00:08:45.59\00:08:47.29
I know for most people
when they make scrambled tofu
00:08:47.32\00:08:50.16
they use turmeric for the color,
00:08:50.19\00:08:52.03
but we don't have to.
00:08:52.06\00:08:53.40
Here we got the cheese
00:08:53.43\00:08:54.76
and the color of
the other vegetables.
00:08:54.80\00:08:56.16
It looks yummy.
00:08:56.20\00:08:57.83
Good job.
00:08:57.87\00:08:59.50
Hey, you're really good.
00:08:59.53\00:09:01.00
I've learned that from
you. You've learned it from me?
00:09:01.04\00:09:02.67
Well, okay,
00:09:02.70\00:09:04.04
I'm a good
teacher then, aren't I?
00:09:04.07\00:09:07.14
That's about it. That's it.
00:09:07.18\00:09:08.81
Now I'm just gonna show you
00:09:08.84\00:09:10.18
how I would shake that
over the top after it's baked.
00:09:10.21\00:09:14.02
And then I would always garnish
with the little green onion.
00:09:14.05\00:09:18.55
And you're good to go.
00:09:18.59\00:09:20.49
Good job. Yeah.
00:09:20.52\00:09:21.86
You know what, Honey?
00:09:21.89\00:09:23.22
I know it's not totally done,
00:09:23.26\00:09:26.76
but I know you want
a little taste of this.
00:09:26.80\00:09:28.90
Yes, I do.
00:09:28.93\00:09:30.27
Because I know you.
00:09:30.30\00:09:33.30
Is it good? Is it...
00:09:33.34\00:09:34.67
Now we go by
numbers scale, 1 to 10.
00:09:34.70\00:09:38.34
Ten meaning great,
00:09:38.37\00:09:39.71
one meaning it needs some work.
00:09:39.74\00:09:41.28
How does that fall
in? You know it's a 10.
00:09:41.31\00:09:42.74
Okay. All right, it's a good 10.
00:09:42.78\00:09:44.38
Let's go on to the next recipe.
00:09:44.41\00:09:46.11
Okay.
00:09:46.15\00:09:47.95
This is gonna be our
apple spiced pancakes.
00:09:47.98\00:09:50.32
And, Honey, if you will
read that recipe for me.
00:09:50.35\00:09:52.49
Now the recipe that Rendall read
00:10:58.65\00:11:00.19
was for both the pancakes,
00:11:00.22\00:11:02.32
these are our
apple spiced pancakes
00:11:02.36\00:11:04.56
and our apple topping.
00:11:04.59\00:11:06.80
So we're gonna
kind of be working
00:11:06.83\00:11:08.40
two different
recipes at one time here.
00:11:08.43\00:11:10.77
Because what are pancakes
without some great topping?
00:11:10.80\00:11:13.57
So we've got some
apples steaming right now.
00:11:13.60\00:11:16.57
Because I want this to be
done at the same time this is.
00:11:16.60\00:11:20.71
However, this
might be done first.
00:11:20.74\00:11:22.31
So, Honey, you're
gonna keep an eye on this
00:11:22.34\00:11:24.05
and what I want you to do first
00:11:24.08\00:11:26.11
is I want you to
take the cornstarch
00:11:26.15\00:11:29.08
or arrowroot powder
whichever you wanna use.
00:11:29.12\00:11:32.29
And I want you to just kind of
00:11:32.32\00:11:34.06
stir that in there
with the spoon there.
00:11:34.09\00:11:35.52
There are some
smaller spoons over there
00:11:35.56\00:11:37.59
while I get the pancakes ready.
00:11:37.63\00:11:39.79
Now, of course, my husband says
you can eat 20 some pancakes
00:11:39.83\00:11:42.83
at one time and not gain weight.
00:11:42.86\00:11:44.30
I'm not so sure about that.
00:11:44.33\00:11:46.17
However, I'd
like to believe that.
00:11:46.20\00:11:48.47
Now this is my almond flour.
00:11:48.50\00:11:50.84
You can use
almonds if you like to.
00:11:50.87\00:11:52.57
That's up to you.
00:11:52.61\00:11:53.94
I do like to
use the almond flour
00:11:53.98\00:11:55.88
because it's pretty accessible,
00:11:55.91\00:11:57.38
you can get it anywhere.
00:11:57.41\00:11:58.85
My oats, my apple
00:11:58.88\00:12:02.08
and I always use the peelings.
00:12:02.12\00:12:04.82
And, of course,
with the Vitamix,
00:12:04.85\00:12:06.19
it makes it lot easier.
00:12:06.22\00:12:07.92
Salt to taste.
00:12:07.96\00:12:09.29
If you don't use
salt, don't use it.
00:12:09.32\00:12:11.66
I am going to put
my apple pie spice
00:12:11.69\00:12:15.26
blend in there with it,
00:12:15.30\00:12:17.17
and my honey.
00:12:17.20\00:12:18.53
I like to use
honey for my pancakes
00:12:18.57\00:12:21.00
because it actually
helps in the browning.
00:12:21.04\00:12:24.07
It makes them nice
and light and golden.
00:12:24.11\00:12:27.04
So we're gonna
put our honey in here.
00:12:27.08\00:12:30.65
Oh, they're
really good pancakes.
00:12:30.68\00:12:32.48
I have to emphasize that.
00:12:32.51\00:12:34.38
They're really good.
00:12:34.42\00:12:35.75
I've only found one thing
that Rendall did not like.
00:12:35.78\00:12:38.79
And what is that, Honey?
00:12:38.82\00:12:40.86
White chili.
00:12:40.89\00:12:43.56
White bean chili. I'm sorry.
00:12:43.59\00:12:44.93
I'm a southern boy.
00:12:44.96\00:12:46.33
And chili should
be red, not white.
00:12:46.36\00:12:50.37
I like the chili, but not white.
00:12:50.40\00:12:53.50
I thought it was so funny
when I made him this chili
00:12:53.54\00:12:55.44
and I'm like, "What
did you think of that?"
00:12:55.47\00:12:56.81
and he says,
"Honey, that's just wrong."
00:12:56.84\00:13:00.88
So I only made it one time.
00:13:00.91\00:13:02.88
Now I'm gonna blend this.
00:13:02.91\00:13:04.25
It's gonna be noisy
for just a few seconds.
00:13:04.28\00:13:05.91
So bear with this here.
00:13:05.95\00:13:07.62
How you coming along over there?
00:13:07.65\00:13:09.15
Well, I spread this in.
00:13:09.18\00:13:10.52
Okay.
00:13:10.55\00:13:11.89
While I'm blending
this, Honey, add the salt...
00:13:11.92\00:13:14.22
To this? No, to this here.
00:13:14.26\00:13:15.59
In here? Okay. Yeah.
00:13:15.62\00:13:16.96
You might wanna
take that off and...
00:13:16.99\00:13:19.06
Start at the top and work down?
00:13:19.09\00:13:20.43
Yes, work down.
That would be great.
00:13:20.46\00:13:22.96
And I'm gonna blend this.
00:13:23.00\00:13:24.33
It will only take a few
minutes when you're blending.
00:13:33.38\00:13:36.41
That is a noisy blender.
00:13:40.12\00:13:41.58
It is a noisy blender, I
know. But it works so great.
00:13:41.62\00:13:46.76
How many of those do you own?
00:13:46.79\00:13:49.29
How many of these
do I own, Vitamixes?
00:13:49.32\00:13:51.99
Oh, I have three.
00:13:52.03\00:13:55.16
And what do I want?
00:13:55.20\00:13:57.03
Another new
one. Another new one.
00:13:57.07\00:13:59.20
And why do I want it though?
00:13:59.23\00:14:00.77
Well, because it
has a little scale
00:14:00.80\00:14:03.24
that weighs out
the ounces and...
00:14:03.27\00:14:04.81
There's a Bluetooth scale
and I'm like, "Oh, honey."
00:14:04.84\00:14:07.81
And then he'll
say, "Oh, buy it."
00:14:07.84\00:14:09.18
And I'm like, "Oh, no, I
don't wanna spend the money."
00:14:09.21\00:14:11.41
And then we'll see it
again, he'll say, "Oh, buy it."
00:14:11.45\00:14:13.31
And I'm like, "No, I
don't wanna spend the money."
00:14:13.35\00:14:15.95
I feel like, you know,
00:14:15.98\00:14:17.62
but I do put all three
of my Vitamixes to use.
00:14:17.65\00:14:21.12
So it's not like they're
set in home in the cabinet.
00:14:21.16\00:14:24.06
I have one that
my good friend uses
00:14:24.09\00:14:26.53
because they do a lot of
baking for me all the time.
00:14:26.56\00:14:30.07
Alvin and Julia Mowry,
00:14:30.10\00:14:31.43
they always are
making that great recipes.
00:14:31.47\00:14:33.97
That's a fact. That is a fact.
00:14:34.00\00:14:36.14
And also, my daughter-in-law
has got my other one
00:14:36.17\00:14:41.11
and she uses it
for my grandbabies.
00:14:41.14\00:14:42.61
So...
00:14:42.64\00:14:43.98
I'm continuing
here. Put this on here.
00:14:44.01\00:14:45.35
I want you to continue.
00:14:45.38\00:14:46.72
You're doing good.
00:14:46.75\00:14:48.08
Hey, maybe you could
start cooking breakfast
00:14:48.12\00:14:49.68
for me or something.
00:14:49.72\00:14:51.05
You say, no, okay, okay, okay.
00:14:51.09\00:14:53.42
I've seen the
look. I got the look.
00:14:53.46\00:14:55.79
I make a few things.
00:14:55.82\00:14:57.16
You do. You do chips.
00:14:57.19\00:14:58.89
I love your tortilla chips.
00:14:58.93\00:15:00.26
Chips.
00:15:00.30\00:15:03.57
Now I'm adding this
a little bit at a time
00:15:03.60\00:15:07.04
because oats...
00:15:07.07\00:15:08.84
Depending on the oats can
just suck up that moisture.
00:15:08.87\00:15:12.77
And we don't want a
real wet runny pancake.
00:15:12.81\00:15:18.08
Last item. Is it going in?
00:15:18.11\00:15:20.42
I want you to stir
that a little bit, Honey,
00:15:20.45\00:15:22.28
because that is your...
00:15:22.32\00:15:26.65
Yeah, I'll do it for you.
00:15:26.69\00:15:28.39
Loosen up that cornstarch.
00:15:28.42\00:15:30.89
Yes, this goes in now.
00:15:30.93\00:15:34.16
And once it's
sticking there a little bit,
00:15:34.20\00:15:35.96
I want you to
continuously stir that for me.
00:15:36.00\00:15:39.00
And you know, these pancakes,
oh, they're so delicious.
00:15:42.70\00:15:46.47
Now you're gonna see
me use something here
00:15:46.51\00:15:48.54
you probably
haven't seen me use before.
00:15:48.58\00:15:50.35
But this is aquafaba.
00:15:50.38\00:15:52.51
This is from your chickpeas.
00:15:52.55\00:15:56.15
This is the juice
of your chickpeas.
00:15:56.18\00:15:58.89
When I make it as a
sweetening, like a topping,
00:15:58.92\00:16:04.13
I will use, like,
confectioner sugar or stevia,
00:16:04.16\00:16:09.06
little lemon juice and vanilla.
00:16:09.10\00:16:12.13
But I always,
always use cream of tartar.
00:16:12.17\00:16:15.94
Can I ask you a question? Yes.
00:16:15.97\00:16:17.77
Who named that and why?
00:16:17.81\00:16:19.47
I don't know.
00:16:19.51\00:16:20.84
I can't answer
that. Can you believe it?
00:16:20.88\00:16:22.54
Aquafaba.
00:16:22.58\00:16:24.01
I can spell it.
00:16:24.05\00:16:25.38
Maybe it's got liquid aqua.
00:16:25.41\00:16:28.48
But that would be water.
00:16:28.52\00:16:29.95
Faba, fabulous?
00:16:29.98\00:16:31.42
Sure, you wouldn't
know that all the way.
00:16:31.45\00:16:32.95
Right, yeah.
00:16:32.99\00:16:34.59
Anyway, now I'm just
gonna let this sit here
00:16:34.62\00:16:37.59
and fold in and
add my baking powder.
00:16:37.63\00:16:40.93
I'm still stirring.
00:16:44.97\00:16:46.33
I want you to still stir.
00:16:46.37\00:16:50.21
You're doing
good, Honey. Ooh, yeah.
00:16:50.24\00:16:53.11
You can take...
Turn the heat off.
00:16:53.14\00:16:54.74
I think it's the top...
00:16:54.78\00:16:56.58
Right here.
00:16:56.61\00:16:57.95
On the top one.
00:16:57.98\00:16:59.31
No, down one,
down one, confusion.
00:16:59.35\00:17:01.22
No, one more.
00:17:01.25\00:17:03.05
Yes, that's it. You've got it.
00:17:03.08\00:17:05.09
He always said, he
was multiple choice.
00:17:05.12\00:17:07.29
I turned it all the way down.
00:17:07.32\00:17:08.66
Yes, turn it all the
way off at this point.
00:17:08.69\00:17:11.06
And excuse me, I didn't
mean to walk off the set
00:17:11.09\00:17:14.00
but I do want to get my griddle.
00:17:14.03\00:17:19.93
I'll get these started for you.
00:17:19.97\00:17:21.67
Some people are
probably thinking,
00:17:25.24\00:17:26.71
"Melody, why
would you do breakfast
00:17:26.74\00:17:29.24
at Christmas time?"
00:17:29.28\00:17:30.61
We love it,
don't we? Yes, we do.
00:17:30.65\00:17:32.28
We like breakfast sometimes
in the afternoon, don't we?
00:17:32.31\00:17:35.12
A lot of times, we don't
have our breakfast till...
00:17:35.15\00:17:37.09
We don't. Ten.
00:17:37.12\00:17:38.49
We don't. We
don't have until later.
00:17:38.52\00:17:40.09
All right.
00:17:40.12\00:17:41.46
If you will do me
the honors, Honey,
00:17:41.49\00:17:42.82
and hand me that
spatula for my pancake?
00:17:42.86\00:17:48.40
Thank you, Sir. You're welcome.
00:17:48.43\00:17:50.07
And if you'll
notice, I'm not using oil.
00:17:50.10\00:17:53.47
I don't like to use...
00:17:53.50\00:17:54.84
There's reason
you don't use oil?
00:17:54.87\00:17:56.20
You know, there it is, Rendall.
00:17:56.24\00:17:58.31
You know, through the years,
00:17:58.34\00:18:00.48
I've lost weight
and I've gained weight
00:18:00.51\00:18:02.78
and I've lost weight.
00:18:02.81\00:18:04.58
It's hard when
you have Hashimoto
00:18:04.61\00:18:07.08
and celiac disease,
but I do the best I can.
00:18:07.12\00:18:10.75
But one thing that
I've kept off is...
00:18:10.79\00:18:14.16
My diabetes is gone,
my medication is gone
00:18:14.19\00:18:16.93
and I haven't had it back.
00:18:16.96\00:18:18.36
And oil is a fat
but it's a refined fat.
00:18:18.39\00:18:21.26
I'd rather have the olives.
00:18:21.30\00:18:22.93
There is essential fat.
00:18:22.96\00:18:24.77
So that's why
I've eliminated oil
00:18:24.80\00:18:26.27
from the diet.
00:18:26.30\00:18:27.64
And just like you, when we
met you had Type 2 diabetes.
00:18:27.67\00:18:30.17
Right.
00:18:30.21\00:18:31.54
You took high blood
pressure medication.
00:18:31.57\00:18:32.91
And you had
cholesterol medication.
00:18:32.94\00:18:34.31
Correct.
00:18:34.34\00:18:35.68
And how much of
that do you take now?
00:18:35.71\00:18:37.05
Nothing. Nothing.
00:18:37.08\00:18:38.41
My numbers are good.
00:18:38.45\00:18:39.78
Nothing. He takes no medication.
00:18:39.81\00:18:41.15
Now my husband's
gonna be 73 years old
00:18:41.18\00:18:42.92
and I'm in my 60's.
00:18:42.95\00:18:44.49
And we're medication-free.
00:18:44.52\00:18:46.72
And I love it.
00:18:46.76\00:18:48.12
And I love the food that we...
00:18:48.16\00:18:49.79
Our food tastes so
delicious. I love it.
00:18:49.82\00:18:53.03
Now I want you to
hand me that black ladle.
00:18:53.06\00:18:57.00
Right. Yes, thank you.
00:18:57.03\00:18:58.37
Oh, Rendall,
you're doing so good.
00:18:58.40\00:19:00.04
I'm learning.
00:19:00.07\00:19:01.40
You're learning.
00:19:01.44\00:19:04.31
And I'm hoping
this is warm enough,
00:19:04.34\00:19:06.51
because I just wanna
do a few to show you,
00:19:06.54\00:19:08.51
you don't have to have the oil.
00:19:08.54\00:19:12.05
It's still not too hot.
00:19:12.08\00:19:14.22
And normally,
00:19:14.25\00:19:15.58
I will find whatever
spatula gives me a serving
00:19:15.62\00:19:18.79
for a nice size pancake.
00:19:18.82\00:19:20.59
And there you go.
00:19:24.66\00:19:26.23
We're just gonna let them cook.
00:19:26.26\00:19:27.60
And there's
something about this aquafaba
00:19:27.63\00:19:30.37
that makes the
pancake real light and airy
00:19:30.40\00:19:33.44
just like it would be
00:19:33.47\00:19:34.80
if you want to make
your pancakes with eggs.
00:19:34.84\00:19:38.97
But you don't
have to add the eggs.
00:19:39.01\00:19:41.54
All right, turn
this up a little higher.
00:19:41.58\00:19:44.98
And once we start seeing
those bubbles start to form,
00:19:45.01\00:19:48.22
it'll be nice and
golden on the other side.
00:19:48.25\00:19:50.82
And then we can
turn the pancake over.
00:19:50.85\00:19:53.29
And voila, we
have great pancakes.
00:19:53.32\00:19:55.52
I know you can see them
right down here in front.
00:19:55.56\00:19:57.59
These are the pancakes
that we made previously.
00:19:57.63\00:20:00.46
And I can tell you, folks,
00:20:00.50\00:20:02.10
the pancakes that
are on that plate,
00:20:02.13\00:20:03.83
my husband can eat
one, two, three, four, five.
00:20:03.87\00:20:05.90
He could eat all of 'em.
00:20:05.93\00:20:07.27
I like the
bigger pancakes. You do?
00:20:07.30\00:20:09.10
You don't like the smaller ones?
00:20:09.14\00:20:10.47
You can eat more
and you can only say
00:20:10.51\00:20:11.84
you ate three
or four, maybe six.
00:20:11.87\00:20:13.21
Oh, is that what it is?
00:20:13.24\00:20:14.58
So you would
rather have them big?
00:20:14.61\00:20:16.11
Yes. Right.
00:20:16.14\00:20:17.48
And you could eat
like, eight big ones
00:20:17.51\00:20:18.91
and say you only
had eight pancakes.
00:20:18.95\00:20:20.28
It's been done.
00:20:20.32\00:20:21.65
I don't know how he does it.
00:20:21.68\00:20:23.02
I would kill for his metabolism.
00:20:23.05\00:20:24.65
It's wonderful.
00:20:24.69\00:20:26.02
Well, hey, why don't we
go on to the next recipe?
00:20:26.05\00:20:28.59
Would you read
that for us, Rendall?
00:20:28.62\00:20:30.06
Sure. Let's do that.
00:20:30.09\00:20:31.43
This recipe is
for a spicy polenta.
00:20:57.39\00:20:59.69
And, of course, my
husband attacks in.
00:20:59.72\00:21:02.32
He loves jalapeno.
00:21:02.36\00:21:03.69
He likes spicy food. I do, too.
00:21:03.73\00:21:05.76
I don't like it
real hot like you do.
00:21:05.79\00:21:08.56
But what I like
about the spicy polenta
00:21:08.60\00:21:11.13
is by adding the
avocado on top of it,
00:21:11.17\00:21:14.04
and some of the
vegan style cheese,
00:21:14.07\00:21:16.37
it really mellows out that heat.
00:21:16.40\00:21:19.27
So you can still
tether spice to it.
00:21:19.31\00:21:21.31
And that's up to you, viewer,
00:21:21.34\00:21:22.94
if you want to
change that and add a little
00:21:22.98\00:21:25.01
or you want more
jalapeno, you just do that.
00:21:25.05\00:21:27.02
That's great.
00:21:27.05\00:21:28.42
Jalapeno to taste.
00:21:28.45\00:21:29.78
Jalapeno to taste.
00:21:29.82\00:21:31.15
Now also, when
people cook polenta,
00:21:31.19\00:21:34.36
a lot of times,
they'll cook their polenta
00:21:34.39\00:21:36.42
way, way too fast.
00:21:36.46\00:21:38.33
I like to put, like,
00:21:38.36\00:21:39.73
here you have
one cup of polenta,
00:21:39.76\00:21:42.13
4 and a 1/2 cups of water,
00:21:42.16\00:21:43.57
and I just keep cooking
and simmering and simmering
00:21:43.60\00:21:46.30
till it boils down.
00:21:46.33\00:21:47.67
And you're gonna have
a much milder polenta.
00:21:47.70\00:21:50.31
It's not gonna be real
hard, you know, to gritty.
00:21:50.34\00:21:53.88
So this is much softer.
00:21:53.91\00:21:55.81
And that's what we've done here
00:21:55.84\00:21:57.65
as Rendall's been really
doing good on the stirring.
00:21:57.68\00:21:59.95
I can't believe how
good you're cooking, Honey.
00:21:59.98\00:22:02.48
Mercy.
00:22:02.52\00:22:03.85
I have no excuses now, I guess.
00:22:03.89\00:22:05.22
No, none at all.
00:22:05.25\00:22:06.59
I found out the secret.
00:22:06.62\00:22:07.96
I got him on here
00:22:07.99\00:22:09.32
and he's just
cooking up a storm.
00:22:09.36\00:22:10.69
So it's like...
00:22:10.73\00:22:12.06
So when we get home,
do I get breakfast in bed?
00:22:12.09\00:22:13.43
Yes.
00:22:13.46\00:22:14.80
Do I have to cook it
00:22:14.83\00:22:16.16
and then go back
to bed and eat it?
00:22:16.20\00:22:17.53
I was just kidding.
00:22:17.57\00:22:18.90
Anyway, I did that.
00:22:18.93\00:22:20.27
I made breakfast in
bed for him one day.
00:22:20.30\00:22:22.80
And I said, "How
do you like that?"
00:22:22.84\00:22:24.17
and He said, "Nobody's ever
brought me breakfast in bed."
00:22:24.21\00:22:25.87
That's true.
00:22:25.91\00:22:27.24
I couldn't believe it.
00:22:27.28\00:22:28.61
Now at this point, Honey,
00:22:28.64\00:22:29.98
let's go ahead and
add not all that cheese
00:22:30.01\00:22:32.75
but probably maybe
about two-thirds of it.
00:22:32.78\00:22:35.45
All right.
00:22:35.48\00:22:36.82
And then I want you
to stir it down in there.
00:22:36.85\00:22:39.32
And it's gonna change the color.
00:22:39.35\00:22:40.69
Even though it's yellow,
00:22:40.72\00:22:42.06
it's gonna give it a
even a nicer yellow color.
00:22:42.09\00:22:44.69
That's about right. That's good.
00:22:44.73\00:22:46.26
I think that's really good.
00:22:46.29\00:22:48.06
And then stir that in.
00:22:48.10\00:22:49.66
You know, there are
other vegan cheese style shreds
00:22:49.70\00:22:52.87
out on the market.
00:22:52.90\00:22:54.24
There are some that have
like, jalapenos in them, too.
00:22:54.27\00:22:58.57
There are some that are
like mozzarella or provolone.
00:22:58.61\00:23:03.58
If you don't want the cheddar,
just try something else.
00:23:03.61\00:23:06.18
But we really like
the taste of cheddar.
00:23:06.21\00:23:08.65
You know, in my dairy day,
00:23:08.68\00:23:10.59
I was, kind of, what
you call it, dairyholic.
00:23:10.62\00:23:12.62
So that was the hardest thing
for me to give up was dairy.
00:23:12.65\00:23:15.22
But now... Same with me.
00:23:15.26\00:23:16.59
Was it you, too?
00:23:16.62\00:23:18.09
And when we got married,
00:23:18.13\00:23:19.46
you thought you never
have peas again, didn't you?
00:23:19.49\00:23:21.63
Oh, I thought that.
00:23:21.66\00:23:23.26
But you fixed it.
00:23:23.30\00:23:24.63
I did. I fixed it.
He gets de-peas now.
00:23:24.67\00:23:28.90
I think that really looks good.
00:23:28.94\00:23:32.21
I'm gonna add a
little bit of salt to that.
00:23:32.24\00:23:36.11
And if you wanna
stir that in again,
00:23:36.14\00:23:38.31
then we're gonna
pour some in here.
00:23:38.35\00:23:39.81
And I'm going to dress that up.
00:23:39.85\00:23:44.09
Oh, that looks so good.
00:23:44.12\00:23:45.99
Do you wanna pour
some right in there?
00:23:46.02\00:23:47.36
I know it won't
all fit in there.
00:23:47.39\00:23:50.59
Good job.
00:23:50.63\00:23:53.03
It might.
00:23:53.06\00:23:54.60
Right there. That's enough.
00:23:54.63\00:23:56.77
There's your serving.
00:23:56.80\00:23:58.13
You can eat
that. I could do that.
00:23:58.17\00:24:00.40
You could do that?
00:24:00.44\00:24:02.60
Normally, what I do is
00:24:02.64\00:24:03.97
I'll let this
cool down a little bit.
00:24:04.01\00:24:06.04
But then I'll start
because I like lots of color.
00:24:06.07\00:24:08.44
And remember, this
is a Christmas program.
00:24:08.48\00:24:11.21
And so I'll start
layering my avocados
00:24:11.25\00:24:16.45
and my tomatoes on here.
00:24:16.48\00:24:19.15
So whenever you get a serving,
00:24:19.19\00:24:21.59
with each bite you're gonna get
00:24:21.62\00:24:23.32
some of these
wonderful avocados and tomatoes.
00:24:23.36\00:24:26.16
And Rendall can tell you,
00:24:26.19\00:24:27.53
I eat tomatoes
probably with every meal
00:24:27.56\00:24:31.40
and especially for
breakfast in the morning.
00:24:31.43\00:24:35.60
There's no grids like that.
00:24:35.64\00:24:37.44
I have had
southern grids for years
00:24:37.47\00:24:40.14
but never like this.
00:24:40.18\00:24:42.04
In other words,
these are pretty good.
00:24:42.08\00:24:43.45
Is that what
you're saying, Honey?
00:24:43.48\00:24:44.81
They're really
great. Thank you so much.
00:24:44.85\00:24:46.38
He always makes me feel
like I'm the best cook ever.
00:24:46.41\00:24:49.82
I don't think she is.
00:24:49.85\00:24:52.12
Look at this.
This is so beautiful.
00:24:52.15\00:24:53.99
It is.
00:24:54.02\00:24:56.19
That is a picture right there.
00:24:56.22\00:24:57.79
I love that. We
eat with our eyes.
00:24:57.83\00:25:00.36
So we always want...
00:25:00.40\00:25:01.80
You know, if it
doesn't look good,
00:25:01.83\00:25:04.13
it's probably not gonna
get past the mouth, the lips.
00:25:04.17\00:25:06.47
So I always encourage everybody
00:25:06.50\00:25:09.04
to make your food
bright as well as tasty.
00:25:09.07\00:25:12.24
Well, why don't we go
on to the next recipe?
00:25:12.27\00:25:14.78
And I'm gonna let my husband
read about our avocado toast.
00:25:14.81\00:25:18.91
What do I like
better than avocado?
00:25:43.57\00:25:46.98
I don't know of anything.
00:25:47.01\00:25:48.81
I love avocado. I
don't use margarine.
00:25:48.84\00:25:51.28
So lot of times
avocado is my margarine.
00:25:51.31\00:25:53.92
So that's about I use instead.
00:25:53.95\00:25:55.52
And, you know, avocado
toast has gotten very popular.
00:25:55.55\00:25:58.65
But I've eaten it for years.
00:25:58.69\00:26:00.02
So it's been popular
in my home a long time.
00:26:00.06\00:26:02.82
So today, what we're going to do
00:26:02.86\00:26:04.63
is we're going to
make our own avocado toast.
00:26:04.66\00:26:08.26
And, Rendall,
you're gonna be my masher
00:26:08.30\00:26:10.73
'cause you're the
guy with the muscles.
00:26:10.77\00:26:13.50
So how do you like that?
00:26:13.54\00:26:15.40
Muscle guy. Muscle guy here.
00:26:15.44\00:26:18.37
I'm gonna try to get it
out for you to help you.
00:26:18.41\00:26:21.38
Okay.
00:26:21.41\00:26:23.38
I'm gonna let you get
the second one in there
00:26:23.41\00:26:24.98
before I start mashing.
00:26:25.01\00:26:26.35
Well, that's a good idea.
00:26:26.38\00:26:28.05
Did you ever eat much
avocado before we met?
00:26:28.08\00:26:30.32
Not very much. You didn't?
00:26:30.35\00:26:32.19
You like
guacamole though. Oh, yeah.
00:26:32.22\00:26:33.89
You're a Texan. You
gotta like guacamole.
00:26:33.92\00:26:35.66
That's like a staple
in the south, isn't it?
00:26:35.69\00:26:37.99
It is.
00:26:38.03\00:26:39.36
Salsa and avocados.
00:26:39.39\00:26:40.73
That's it. Tortillas.
00:26:40.76\00:26:42.86
And while we're
talking about that,
00:26:42.90\00:26:45.03
Julia makes the best
tortillas I've ever tasted.
00:26:45.07\00:26:48.34
And when we go on long trips,
00:26:48.37\00:26:49.70
she always brings them over
to the house for us, for me.
00:26:49.74\00:26:54.24
She'll make me
like a dozen of 'em
00:26:54.28\00:26:56.18
and she'll tell
Rendall he can only have four.
00:26:56.21\00:26:57.88
And the reason for that is
00:26:57.91\00:26:59.25
it's because he ate
my tortillas one time
00:26:59.28\00:27:01.55
when she made 'em
for us on the trip.
00:27:01.58\00:27:03.08
Yeah.
00:27:03.12\00:27:04.45
I think I got one or two, did I?
00:27:04.49\00:27:06.35
Maybe. But you.
00:27:06.39\00:27:07.86
You thought they were all
for you though, didn't you?
00:27:07.89\00:27:09.52
You were asleep. So...
00:27:09.56\00:27:10.89
Was that what it was? Whoo.
00:27:10.93\00:27:12.59
I have to hide the
food now when I go to sleep.
00:27:12.63\00:27:14.50
Is that what it is?
00:27:14.53\00:27:16.06
Okay.
00:27:16.10\00:27:18.27
And you can make as
many avocados as you want.
00:27:18.30\00:27:21.37
In my house,
00:27:21.40\00:27:22.97
there are sometimes
we do four, don't we?
00:27:23.00\00:27:25.14
We're blessed at home
00:27:25.17\00:27:26.51
because
avocados are inexpensive.
00:27:26.54\00:27:28.51
Yes, 35 cents.
00:27:28.54\00:27:30.31
Sometimes,
they're four for a dollar.
00:27:30.35\00:27:32.31
It's awesome.
00:27:32.35\00:27:33.92
We've seen 'em high
like $1, $1.5 a piece.
00:27:33.95\00:27:36.79
Oh, yes, we travel so
much with our ministry
00:27:36.82\00:27:39.82
that we go all
over the United States.
00:27:39.85\00:27:41.96
And we have
actually seen avocados
00:27:41.99\00:27:44.93
at times of the
year for $2 a piece.
00:27:44.96\00:27:47.90
Sometimes I leave home
with a case of avocados.
00:27:47.93\00:27:52.70
Then why do I do that, Rendall,
00:27:52.73\00:27:54.07
'cause they're so
expensive if we don't.
00:27:54.10\00:27:56.20
Put some salt.
00:27:56.24\00:27:57.57
Well, you don't
have to use salt.
00:27:57.61\00:27:58.94
Now there's
different types of fats.
00:27:58.97\00:28:02.64
What would you
call this type of fat?
00:28:02.68\00:28:04.55
I call this fat an essential fat
00:28:04.58\00:28:06.65
and my favorite fat.
00:28:06.68\00:28:08.15
So we need fat in our diet.
00:28:08.18\00:28:09.52
Lot of people
say, you can't eat fat.
00:28:09.55\00:28:11.49
No, there are
types of fat you can eat.
00:28:11.52\00:28:13.22
And that's why I
always use essential fats like
00:28:13.25\00:28:15.56
your nuts, your seeds,
your avocado, your olives.
00:28:15.59\00:28:19.29
I just don't use
'em in the oil for him.
00:28:19.33\00:28:22.60
Oh, look at you. You're fast.
00:28:22.63\00:28:25.37
Well, sometimes you
like it a little bit
00:28:25.40\00:28:27.30
of crunchiness to it.
00:28:27.34\00:28:29.27
I do.
00:28:29.30\00:28:30.64
I don't like it
just real mashed.
00:28:30.67\00:28:32.01
You're right.
00:28:32.04\00:28:33.38
And I'm gonna keep
your spoon in there
00:28:33.41\00:28:34.88
because I call it buttering.
00:28:34.91\00:28:37.51
We're gonna butter our toast.
00:28:37.55\00:28:39.51
New term for me.
00:28:39.55\00:28:40.88
Yeah, you can do yours.
00:28:40.92\00:28:43.35
I'm gonna put you to work away.
00:28:43.39\00:28:47.72
Look at this.
00:28:47.76\00:28:49.09
Now, I know in the recipe
it said red cherry tomatoes.
00:28:49.12\00:28:52.96
But this time of a year
00:28:52.99\00:28:54.33
they have beautiful colored ones
00:28:54.36\00:28:56.03
and I thought why
not add variety to it.
00:28:56.06\00:29:00.10
Let me put this down right here.
00:29:00.14\00:29:01.57
You already got
yours ready, don't you?
00:29:01.60\00:29:03.17
There you go.
00:29:03.20\00:29:04.54
Oh, you're gonna add some spice.
00:29:04.57\00:29:05.91
No, this... What is it?
00:29:05.94\00:29:07.28
This is that
everything but the bagel sesame.
00:29:07.31\00:29:10.28
I absolutely love it.
00:29:10.31\00:29:12.51
There's a lot of this.
00:29:12.55\00:29:13.88
Oh, I can tell who
this one's gonna...
00:29:13.92\00:29:15.95
Mm-hmm.
00:29:15.98\00:29:17.55
Yes.
00:29:17.59\00:29:18.92
Rendall, you're not kidding me
00:29:18.95\00:29:20.29
that you made this
for yourself, didn't you?
00:29:20.32\00:29:21.86
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:29:21.89\00:29:24.19
But I love this product here.
00:29:24.23\00:29:26.83
It tastes so good on the toast.
00:29:26.86\00:29:29.66
And like I said,
00:29:29.70\00:29:31.03
I've been eating this
kind of stuff for years
00:29:31.07\00:29:33.44
and now it's very popular.
00:29:33.47\00:29:34.94
So when it gets popular,
00:29:34.97\00:29:37.21
then you'll see
more of the items
00:29:37.24\00:29:38.57
out there for sale.
00:29:38.61\00:29:40.98
Wonderful.
00:29:41.01\00:29:42.34
I used to eat a lot of bagels.
00:29:42.38\00:29:43.71
I don't eat them anymore.
00:29:43.75\00:29:45.08
I can't have the weed.
00:29:45.11\00:29:46.45
I dabble in it sometimes,
but I know I shouldn't.
00:29:46.48\00:29:49.12
I think that's gonna be enough
to fill this plate, Honey.
00:29:49.15\00:29:51.99
Then if I'm gonna
fill that plate...
00:29:52.02\00:29:54.09
Okay, you have the choice.
00:29:54.12\00:29:55.46
Is this your plate?
00:29:55.49\00:29:56.83
Or is this gonna be yours?
00:29:56.86\00:29:58.39
Well, I'd like either one.
00:29:58.43\00:30:00.76
Your choice.
00:30:00.80\00:30:02.60
Isn't that beautiful?
00:30:02.63\00:30:05.40
Again we eat
with our eyes, folks.
00:30:05.43\00:30:07.17
I fixed and say,
00:30:07.20\00:30:08.54
he's gonna pick that up
meaty piece, aren't you?
00:30:08.57\00:30:10.24
That's kind of crunchy.
00:30:10.27\00:30:11.61
I don't know if
you wanna do that.
00:30:11.64\00:30:12.97
And you can toast
your bread in the oven.
00:30:13.01\00:30:15.81
You can toast it in the toaster.
00:30:15.84\00:30:18.41
Or some of you
might have a toaster oven,
00:30:18.45\00:30:20.08
however you wanna do that.
00:30:20.12\00:30:21.48
Some people will put a fat
on there first, but I don't.
00:30:21.52\00:30:24.39
I let the avocado be my fat.
00:30:24.42\00:30:26.79
Before we go on
to the next recipe,
00:30:26.82\00:30:28.69
which is gonna be
00:30:28.72\00:30:30.19
our lemony cranberry bundt cake.
00:30:30.23\00:30:32.76
Oh, boy.
00:30:32.79\00:30:34.13
This was a product that I
had called a friend of ours
00:30:34.16\00:30:37.07
and asked if he would
help me with this recipe
00:30:37.10\00:30:39.50
because I was working
on a couple different ones.
00:30:39.53\00:30:41.67
Does he have a name?
00:30:41.70\00:30:43.04
Alvin Mowry, you know who he is.
00:30:43.07\00:30:44.67
Thank you.
00:30:44.71\00:30:46.04
Alvin Mowry, he comes
here at our camp meeting
00:30:46.07\00:30:48.11
and helps us in the
spring and in the fall.
00:30:48.14\00:30:50.38
He's always here as our baker.
00:30:50.41\00:30:53.15
When you come to the kitchen,
you come to the camp meeting,
00:30:53.18\00:30:55.28
come back there
and ask for Alvin.
00:30:55.32\00:30:57.29
It's amazing you
can give him something
00:30:57.32\00:30:59.29
and say, "This is what
I want," and he makes it.
00:30:59.32\00:31:01.86
I love to cook, but
baking is not my forte
00:31:01.89\00:31:04.49
when it comes to desserts.
00:31:04.53\00:31:06.33
I try not to eat that
many of 'em, so I don't.
00:31:06.36\00:31:08.56
So I'd love for
you to meet Alvin.
00:31:08.60\00:31:10.93
But first of all, I
wanna go to this recipe,
00:31:10.97\00:31:13.27
'cause we're gonna read it.
00:31:13.30\00:31:14.64
And if you'll do the
honors for me, Rendall?
00:31:14.67\00:31:16.30
Sure.
00:31:16.34\00:31:17.67
Before Rendall read
that wonderful recipe,
00:32:14.86\00:32:18.43
I was talking about our
friend Alvin and Julia Mowry.
00:32:18.47\00:32:22.44
Actually, Alvin is the one
who does a lot of the baking
00:32:22.47\00:32:26.01
with a regular flours.
00:32:26.04\00:32:28.68
Julia, his wife bakes a
lot for the gluten-free.
00:32:28.71\00:32:32.01
But a surprise we
have for you today
00:32:32.05\00:32:34.22
is we were able to
get Alvin and Julia
00:32:34.25\00:32:36.85
to come down here with us.
00:32:36.89\00:32:38.42
And I would like to
take this time right now
00:32:38.45\00:32:40.32
to invite Alvin on
the set so he can help us
00:32:40.36\00:32:44.26
with this recipe
that he actually did.
00:32:44.29\00:32:46.19
Alvin, if you don't
mind, step in up here.
00:32:46.23\00:32:49.30
And actually, Alvin and
Julia were friends of Rendall's.
00:32:49.33\00:32:53.34
Hi, Alvin. This is Alvin Mowry.
00:32:53.37\00:32:55.54
He's my, I call him my baker.
00:32:55.57\00:32:57.77
I can't hardly go
anywhere without these two.
00:32:57.81\00:32:59.91
I mean, they are wonderful.
00:32:59.94\00:33:01.44
But Rendall has known
them for over 35 years.
00:33:01.48\00:33:03.55
Thirty plus years, yes.
00:33:03.58\00:33:04.91
Yeah, and then you
married that woman.
00:33:04.95\00:33:06.28
And then he married this woman.
00:33:06.31\00:33:07.65
That's what they
call me, that woman.
00:33:07.68\00:33:10.09
They've been in music
ministry for a long time
00:33:10.12\00:33:12.49
because Julia is a
wonderful musician.
00:33:12.52\00:33:14.89
She sings, plays
guitar, mandolin.
00:33:14.92\00:33:17.26
She's done so many concerts,
00:33:17.29\00:33:19.59
you do a lot to help
her with the concerts,
00:33:19.63\00:33:21.93
don't you do all the...
00:33:21.96\00:33:23.43
I usually stay with the sound.
00:33:23.47\00:33:24.93
See, he stays with the sound.
00:33:24.97\00:33:26.53
He's a designated roadie.
00:33:26.57\00:33:29.34
But then they
were praying and said,
00:33:29.37\00:33:31.51
"Lord, we'd like
to do something else
00:33:31.54\00:33:33.24
if that's Your will."
00:33:33.27\00:33:34.61
And guess what happened?
00:33:34.64\00:33:36.21
Then you came
along. Then I came along.
00:33:36.24\00:33:38.41
And before we had met,
00:33:38.45\00:33:41.45
they had talked about
plant based nutrition,
00:33:41.48\00:33:43.82
not for themselves.
00:33:43.85\00:33:45.19
Julia had been really
changing a lot in her diet.
00:33:45.22\00:33:47.92
I mean, it's
amazing what this woman
00:33:47.96\00:33:50.03
has done with her health.
00:33:50.06\00:33:51.66
And Alvin
recently has done a lot
00:33:51.69\00:33:54.46
in making plant based desserts.
00:33:54.50\00:33:57.57
And I don't know what
I would do without him
00:33:57.60\00:33:59.03
when we come here,
00:33:59.07\00:34:00.40
or are invited to
come to camp meeting.
00:34:00.44\00:34:03.41
I always make sure
I drag these two along
00:34:03.44\00:34:05.47
because he's
always in the kitchen
00:34:05.51\00:34:07.18
baking all these
wonderful desserts.
00:34:07.21\00:34:09.11
You've messed up all my recipes.
00:34:09.14\00:34:11.15
I bake with lot of
butter and sour cream.
00:34:11.18\00:34:13.55
I know.
00:34:13.58\00:34:14.92
And this is the thing I can say,
00:34:14.95\00:34:16.35
Alvin, this is
what I'm looking for.
00:34:16.38\00:34:18.15
This recipe here
came about in our journey
00:34:18.19\00:34:21.22
from Ohio back to Texas.
00:34:21.26\00:34:22.96
And I said, I
really want something good
00:34:22.99\00:34:24.93
for our Christmas program,
00:34:24.96\00:34:26.80
that's a little
bit out of the norm.
00:34:26.83\00:34:28.86
And I said, I love lemon, I
love the brightness of lemon.
00:34:28.90\00:34:32.60
And I love cranberries.
00:34:32.63\00:34:33.97
Can you do a dessert for me
00:34:34.00\00:34:35.90
with no butter or margarine?
00:34:35.94\00:34:39.27
No oil.
00:34:39.31\00:34:41.64
I said, "You can
use sugar, that's okay."
00:34:41.68\00:34:44.31
And I said,
"This is what I want."
00:34:44.35\00:34:46.08
And so, we came back
home, he made that recipe,
00:34:46.11\00:34:49.78
brought it to potluck at
church and I'm telling him,
00:34:49.82\00:34:53.22
it is just absolutely wonderful.
00:34:53.25\00:34:55.49
And I listened to the discussion
00:34:55.52\00:34:57.03
of his recipe in the vehicle
from about 10 in the morning
00:34:57.06\00:35:01.26
till about 5 that evening,
00:35:01.30\00:35:03.06
as they were
communicating back and forth,
00:35:03.10\00:35:05.10
figuring it out, add
this, do this, try this.
00:35:05.13\00:35:08.60
And... Julia got even with me.
00:35:08.64\00:35:10.11
She sent you a picture
of that cake at midnight.
00:35:10.14\00:35:12.97
She did, they sent me
00:35:13.01\00:35:14.34
this picture of
this cake at midnight,
00:35:14.38\00:35:16.64
and I had this
dream about this cake.
00:35:16.68\00:35:19.01
I was finding to get this cake.
00:35:19.05\00:35:20.38
I didn't get a
piece of this cake
00:35:20.42\00:35:22.38
until the next day.
00:35:22.42\00:35:25.55
They brought it into me
and I just like wolfed it down.
00:35:25.59\00:35:27.86
Rendall still
getting his dandy blend,
00:35:27.89\00:35:29.36
I've already eaten mine.
00:35:29.39\00:35:30.83
But why don't we go
ahead and start this,
00:35:30.86\00:35:32.69
and the reason why I
really wanted you here
00:35:32.73\00:35:34.86
is, Alvin, I think
you are a great baker,
00:35:34.90\00:35:38.20
you know, just
the consistencies...
00:35:38.23\00:35:40.70
Well I've seen that.
00:35:40.74\00:35:42.57
As much as I've cooked baking
is really not my forte as much,
00:35:42.60\00:35:46.78
but I love to eat it.
00:35:46.81\00:35:48.58
I just don't like
to bake it as much,
00:35:48.61\00:35:50.01
and I have found that.
00:35:50.05\00:35:51.38
But you're really good in,
00:35:51.41\00:35:52.75
in your textures
and your measurements
00:35:52.78\00:35:54.12
of how much flour versus
liquid and that's a talent.
00:35:54.15\00:35:58.09
Well I always,
00:35:58.12\00:36:00.22
yeah, I used to
call it the common sense,
00:36:00.26\00:36:02.26
but unfortunately,
00:36:02.29\00:36:03.63
it's probably God given talent,
00:36:03.66\00:36:05.33
because I found out common sense
00:36:05.36\00:36:06.76
isn't real common anymore.
00:36:06.80\00:36:09.06
So this is your sweetener
00:36:09.10\00:36:10.43
and you always like to
use a certain kind of sugar.
00:36:10.47\00:36:13.07
What is this one here?
00:36:13.10\00:36:14.44
I try to use sugar
as natural as possible.
00:36:14.47\00:36:15.90
Okay.
00:36:15.94\00:36:17.27
I usually use turbinado sugar
00:36:17.31\00:36:18.64
or this one's
just evaporated powder,
00:36:18.67\00:36:21.18
it's, still natural,
pretty much a natural sugar.
00:36:21.21\00:36:23.81
And then this
is your applesauce.
00:36:23.85\00:36:25.31
So you did this to help replace,
00:36:25.35\00:36:28.15
and I've got
this if, if you need.
00:36:28.18\00:36:29.58
This I took to,
was to take the fat out
00:36:29.62\00:36:31.75
because my pound
cake called for two.
00:36:31.79\00:36:36.02
I put two
sticks of butter in it,
00:36:36.06\00:36:38.36
and you affectionately
called it a butter cake.
00:36:38.39\00:36:41.96
I did.
00:36:42.00\00:36:43.53
And now the brightness here,
00:36:43.57\00:36:45.60
we're talking how
many zested lemons here,
00:36:45.63\00:36:48.67
is that six?
00:36:48.70\00:36:50.04
This is a zest from
six lemons because...
00:36:50.07\00:36:51.61
Yes.
00:36:51.64\00:36:52.97
I don't like to
use lemon extract
00:36:53.01\00:36:55.04
or anything else
that takes away from it.
00:36:55.08\00:36:58.65
I like mine all natural.
00:36:58.68\00:37:00.02
So that's, that's
usually where I go.
00:37:00.05\00:37:02.58
And then since you
don't want any eggs in it,
00:37:02.62\00:37:05.82
and I've gotten quite accustomed
00:37:05.85\00:37:07.19
to not using eggs now.
00:37:07.22\00:37:09.19
I use flaxseed usually
and sometimes cornstarch,
00:37:09.22\00:37:13.19
but primarily flaxseed.
00:37:13.23\00:37:15.40
And about a tablespoon of water
00:37:15.43\00:37:18.03
per teaspoon of seed.
00:37:18.07\00:37:21.10
Okay.
00:37:21.14\00:37:22.84
So that takes
the place of the egg.
00:37:22.87\00:37:24.74
That replaced the eggs.
00:37:24.77\00:37:26.11
Some people buy egg replacers,
00:37:26.14\00:37:27.48
some people will use cornstarch.
00:37:27.51\00:37:29.48
You, when you're baking,
00:37:29.51\00:37:30.85
you really like
to use the flaxseed,
00:37:30.88\00:37:32.21
and it works really well.
00:37:32.25\00:37:33.58
I've had very good
success with the flaxseed.
00:37:33.62\00:37:35.18
I just found,
00:37:35.22\00:37:36.55
that when I
first started using it,
00:37:36.58\00:37:37.92
I was using too
much and it gave,
00:37:37.95\00:37:40.19
it gave the cake more
of a pudding type of taste.
00:37:40.22\00:37:44.29
Oh, we can talk
while he's blending here.
00:37:44.33\00:37:46.73
This isn't like the, the
Vitamix is like a rocket.
00:37:46.76\00:37:49.76
It just has so much noise.
00:37:49.80\00:37:51.80
And Rendall's
standing over here thinking,
00:37:51.83\00:37:53.54
"Man when he
gets done with this,
00:37:53.57\00:37:54.90
I know exactly
what I'm gonna do."
00:37:54.94\00:37:58.94
You're gonna get you
some of that, aren't you?
00:37:58.97\00:38:01.04
I like to put the
zest in with the liquids,
00:38:01.08\00:38:04.41
because the...
00:38:04.45\00:38:06.21
That way the flavor of the lemon
00:38:06.25\00:38:08.25
because the oil, the
zest will go into the...
00:38:08.28\00:38:10.65
Will saturate
through those liquids
00:38:10.69\00:38:12.65
that are in the cake,
00:38:12.69\00:38:14.02
and it keeps my flavor in there,
00:38:14.06\00:38:15.39
because I like, I like lemon.
00:38:15.42\00:38:17.33
I do too.
00:38:17.36\00:38:18.69
And I like a nice
bright lemon taste.
00:38:18.73\00:38:20.60
Now what do you...
What do you put in next one?
00:38:20.63\00:38:22.56
Where are you going?
00:38:22.60\00:38:23.93
Next, I would go with the...
00:38:23.97\00:38:25.73
The vegan sour cream? Yes.
00:38:25.77\00:38:27.60
And I have I have to
tell you a little funny thing
00:38:27.64\00:38:29.60
while he's doing this.
00:38:29.64\00:38:30.97
We were sitting at
potluck one day at church.
00:38:31.01\00:38:32.64
And let me tell you what?
00:38:32.67\00:38:34.01
When people found out that,
00:38:34.04\00:38:35.38
Alvin was making
all these plant based
00:38:35.41\00:38:37.11
or vegan
dessert, it's like ants,
00:38:37.15\00:38:40.48
boy, they just swarm
all over this ant hill
00:38:40.52\00:38:42.58
on to his cakes.
00:38:42.62\00:38:43.95
Everything he brings is gone.
00:38:43.99\00:38:45.32
He always brings a little
extra over to the table for us,
00:38:45.35\00:38:47.86
or we wouldn't get it.
00:38:47.89\00:38:49.22
And he sat there
one day and he said,
00:38:49.26\00:38:50.79
"You know, there was a time
00:38:50.83\00:38:52.33
that I used to
make fun of people
00:38:52.36\00:38:53.90
who didn't eat meat or dairy."
00:38:53.93\00:38:55.53
I said "You did,
Alvin?" He said "Yes."
00:38:55.56\00:38:58.07
But he said,
"I've learned a lot,"
00:38:58.10\00:38:59.43
and he said, "Now I understand."
00:38:59.47\00:39:00.94
And I appreciated
your honesty in that.
00:39:00.97\00:39:04.17
Well, I've had so
many vegan dishes,
00:39:04.21\00:39:07.21
but a lot of times,
they were tasteless.
00:39:07.24\00:39:11.85
Yeah.
00:39:11.88\00:39:13.21
Yeah, I've seen that
too, or had that happen,
00:39:13.25\00:39:16.22
or sometimes they
don't always look the best.
00:39:16.25\00:39:19.79
And I've always said
we eat with our eyes.
00:39:19.82\00:39:21.46
And if we can't
get it past our eyes,
00:39:21.49\00:39:22.99
and there's no way we're going
to get it down our stomach.
00:39:23.02\00:39:25.93
No way. That's right.
00:39:25.96\00:39:27.30
And now on this recipe,
00:39:27.33\00:39:28.90
you like to blend your
flour a little bit at a time.
00:39:28.93\00:39:32.37
Is that right? Exactly.
00:39:32.40\00:39:33.74
Okay. I want it in there.
00:39:33.77\00:39:35.67
I want to get it mixed in.
00:39:35.70\00:39:37.04
I want all that
flavor to be in with a flour
00:39:37.07\00:39:40.28
before I add the
rest of the liquid to it.
00:39:40.31\00:39:42.24
And it's going to get a
little heavy, but it'll.
00:39:42.28\00:39:43.75
That's all right.
00:39:43.78\00:39:47.45
It's gonna be good.
00:39:47.48\00:39:49.28
Oh, I know what you're
doing over there, Mr. Caviness.
00:39:49.32\00:39:52.02
I've got your number.
00:39:52.05\00:39:53.96
I know what
exactly that he's doing.
00:39:53.99\00:39:55.89
He's thinking,
oh, this is yummy.
00:39:55.92\00:39:57.63
I'm gonna get some of this.
00:39:57.66\00:40:00.00
In Alvin's family he's famous
00:40:01.30\00:40:03.13
for his German chocolate cake...
00:40:03.16\00:40:04.90
German chocolate cake.
00:40:04.93\00:40:06.67
And he's working
on making that vegan.
00:40:06.70\00:40:08.67
He has, he already did.
00:40:08.70\00:40:10.04
We have made it vegan,
but we're changing the recipe.
00:40:10.07\00:40:12.41
Okay.
00:40:12.44\00:40:13.84
At his family reunion,
00:40:13.88\00:40:15.88
he didn't bake a
German chocolate cake,
00:40:15.91\00:40:18.68
it was not a successful reunion.
00:40:18.71\00:40:21.05
I'll just do this, Alvin,
00:40:21.08\00:40:22.42
so we can hurry
this up a little.
00:40:22.45\00:40:23.79
That's right.
00:40:23.82\00:40:25.15
Yeah, I've had...
00:40:30.76\00:40:32.09
I've had a piece of
the German chocolate cake
00:40:32.13\00:40:36.03
that you made
vegan, It was delicious.
00:40:36.06\00:40:39.03
And, again I was surprised
00:40:39.07\00:40:42.74
because you know
German chocolate cake
00:40:42.77\00:40:44.17
has a lot of fat in it.
00:40:44.21\00:40:45.54
Yes. It does.
00:40:45.57\00:40:46.91
Most people
don't, don't realize,
00:40:46.94\00:40:48.38
they say they like
German chocolate cake,
00:40:48.41\00:40:49.91
but German chocolate cake
00:40:49.94\00:40:51.28
has almost a
pound of butter in it,
00:40:51.31\00:40:53.48
counting the topping.
00:40:53.52\00:40:54.85
So a lot of fat?
00:40:54.88\00:40:56.22
A lot of fat.
00:40:56.25\00:40:57.59
And then it takes a
couple of buttermilk too
00:40:57.62\00:41:01.52
and eight eggs.
00:41:01.56\00:41:02.89
Oh. Oh my.
00:41:02.92\00:41:04.33
Heart attack.
00:41:04.36\00:41:05.69
Now, you tell me what
you want me to add here,
00:41:09.06\00:41:10.97
Alvin and I'll...
00:41:11.00\00:41:12.33
You just keep adding the
flour, you're doing a fine job.
00:41:12.37\00:41:13.70
Thank you.
00:41:13.74\00:41:15.07
I can smell that lemon.
00:41:20.48\00:41:22.14
How thick do you
want that? I mean?
00:41:22.18\00:41:25.31
What do you mean?
00:41:25.35\00:41:26.68
When you put the water in,
00:41:26.72\00:41:28.05
there's a
certain consistency that,
00:41:28.08\00:41:30.05
that needs to be
before you put it in the pan?
00:41:30.09\00:41:33.89
I don't know how
exactly to explain this,
00:41:33.92\00:41:35.76
because, see, I was
used to making pound cakes.
00:41:35.79\00:41:39.09
So I want this
consistency of the pound cake,
00:41:39.13\00:41:42.66
and just a little bit looser,
because I wanted to raise more.
00:41:42.70\00:41:45.40
Now, you want me
to put the milk in?
00:41:45.43\00:41:47.14
Would you please?
00:41:47.17\00:41:48.50
Now what about the salt?
What kind of milk is that?
00:41:51.87\00:41:54.44
That's almond
milk. That is almond.
00:41:54.48\00:41:56.54
That's unsweetened almond milk.
00:41:56.58\00:41:59.11
And you always use unsweetened
00:41:59.15\00:42:00.95
and the almond
milk in your recipes,
00:42:00.98\00:42:02.68
I've noticed that.
00:42:02.72\00:42:04.05
Yes.
00:42:04.09\00:42:06.49
It's all your fault.
00:42:06.52\00:42:09.19
That woman,
00:42:09.22\00:42:10.66
that's what they
call me, that woman.
00:42:10.69\00:42:13.50
Okay, you can go ahead
and put the baking powder in.
00:42:13.53\00:42:15.10
For leavening?
00:42:15.13\00:42:16.46
Yes.
00:42:16.50\00:42:17.83
I'm salivating.
00:42:22.10\00:42:23.71
I am going to get
your pan over here, Alvin,
00:42:23.74\00:42:26.51
so when you're done
there and actually do you mind
00:42:26.54\00:42:29.61
if I start doing
the frosting over here?
00:42:29.64\00:42:32.05
Be my guest put
the confectionery sugar
00:42:32.08\00:42:35.58
and the to put that, lemon zest.
00:42:35.62\00:42:36.95
The zest?
00:42:36.99\00:42:38.35
And then take that sour cream
00:42:38.39\00:42:41.69
and work it into
the end of this sugar.
00:42:41.72\00:42:47.46
We're talking
about that almond milk.
00:42:47.50\00:42:49.63
I've got a little story
00:42:49.66\00:42:51.00
that I can tell
while you're mixing.
00:42:51.03\00:42:52.37
Go, right ahead.
00:42:52.40\00:42:54.00
I was a heavy,
heavy milk drinker.
00:42:54.04\00:42:57.17
Oh, yes.
00:42:57.21\00:42:58.54
And to the point of two,
00:42:58.57\00:43:00.21
two and a half
gallons a week by myself.
00:43:00.24\00:43:03.14
And when I gave up dairy milk,
00:43:03.18\00:43:07.12
I found that I could
sleep at night and breathe...
00:43:07.15\00:43:11.25
Through your
nose. Through my nose.
00:43:11.29\00:43:12.85
Yeah, you told me
that, I couldn't believe it.
00:43:12.89\00:43:14.22
I normally get a couple,
00:43:14.26\00:43:15.72
two or three
sinus infections a year.
00:43:15.76\00:43:18.89
And I feel like giving up dairy,
00:43:18.93\00:43:20.66
eliminating dairy
really helped my health.
00:43:20.70\00:43:25.00
Wow.
00:43:25.03\00:43:26.37
Well, as much as I complained
about changing my recipes,
00:43:26.40\00:43:30.87
I have to admit that,
00:43:30.91\00:43:34.41
I feel better, sleep better.
00:43:34.44\00:43:38.61
I can't tell you how many
times people have commented.
00:43:38.65\00:43:41.48
My, you look so healthy,
00:43:41.52\00:43:43.55
and I tell them
I'll be 75 years old
00:43:43.59\00:43:45.32
in a couple of months.
00:43:45.35\00:43:46.86
Most people have a
hard time believing it.
00:43:46.89\00:43:48.46
We're old timers, aren't we?
00:43:48.49\00:43:50.39
Yeah.
00:43:50.43\00:43:51.76
I've been called
some other things,
00:43:51.79\00:43:53.13
but that's true.
00:43:53.16\00:43:54.60
And you know what's wonderful?
00:43:54.63\00:43:56.36
Lifestyle disease is
just exactly what it is,
00:43:56.40\00:43:59.47
from our bad
lifestyle and we found out
00:43:59.50\00:44:02.27
that we can actually
change the food that we eat.
00:44:02.30\00:44:06.61
Walk, exercise
sunshine, fresh air, water.
00:44:06.64\00:44:09.88
Oh the cranberries.
00:44:09.91\00:44:11.88
It's Christmas.
00:44:11.91\00:44:13.25
That's right.
00:44:13.28\00:44:14.62
Melody said she wanted color.
00:44:14.65\00:44:16.89
That's three and a half
cups of cranberries there.
00:44:16.92\00:44:19.42
And a little bit of sweetener
00:44:19.45\00:44:20.79
which they can use
stevia or they can use sugar
00:44:20.82\00:44:23.93
and we prefer a
good healthier sugar.
00:44:23.96\00:44:25.83
This has two
tablespoons of raw sugar on it.
00:44:25.86\00:44:31.90
And just kind of fold that in.
00:44:31.93\00:44:35.47
That was a new term to me,
folding, I didn't realize...
00:44:35.50\00:44:37.97
You thought that it was laundry,
00:44:38.01\00:44:39.34
a laundry term, didn't you?
00:44:39.37\00:44:40.71
Yeah.
00:44:40.74\00:44:42.08
Hey, Rendall, if
you do me a favor,
00:44:42.11\00:44:43.45
hand me that cake over here.
00:44:43.48\00:44:46.65
This is what we baked extra.
00:44:46.68\00:44:48.42
Now, why I did this
is because I thought
00:44:48.45\00:44:50.92
well, at least we
could eat some of it.
00:44:50.95\00:44:52.92
You know what I'm saying?
00:44:52.95\00:44:54.29
But it's hard
for us to show you.
00:44:54.32\00:44:55.92
Look how easy that frosting
just went together, perfect.
00:44:55.96\00:44:59.96
You know, this is
a perfect frosting
00:45:00.00\00:45:01.83
because it is a drizzle.
00:45:01.86\00:45:03.73
So we have one here
that we can drizzle for you.
00:45:03.77\00:45:07.97
If you hadn't
had the week you had.
00:45:08.00\00:45:10.11
I was going to, with Julia,
make you a gluten free one.
00:45:10.14\00:45:14.01
Yes, that's our next project.
00:45:14.04\00:45:15.91
Actually, we have
talked about this.
00:45:15.94\00:45:18.35
We are doing a
gluten free cookbook.
00:45:18.38\00:45:20.92
And Alvin, I talked
to him the other day,
00:45:20.95\00:45:23.75
I said, "Let's do a vegan cake.
00:45:23.79\00:45:28.02
And just a
cookbook about cakes."
00:45:28.06\00:45:29.76
We're going to call it Simply
Yummy Sweet Cakes, aren't we?
00:45:29.79\00:45:32.29
That's what we call Alvin.
00:45:32.33\00:45:33.66
That's his new
nickname, sweet cakes.
00:45:33.70\00:45:36.10
He's gonna help you do that.
00:45:36.13\00:45:37.47
Look at this. How beautiful.
00:45:37.50\00:45:39.03
Oh, Alvin, this is beautiful.
00:45:39.07\00:45:40.40
Do you have a
big spoon in there?
00:45:40.44\00:45:41.84
I have a spatula.
00:45:41.87\00:45:43.84
Do you want this?
Is that big enough?
00:45:43.87\00:45:45.84
Well, I just
wanted to get it in,
00:45:45.87\00:45:48.44
without getting it
all over the tube until...
00:45:48.48\00:45:52.15
Just turn that pan gradually.
00:45:52.18\00:45:56.08
Here we go.
00:45:56.12\00:45:57.45
Now, if there's any leftover,
00:46:01.12\00:46:02.46
we always take the
smaller bundt pans.
00:46:02.49\00:46:04.79
And we make like mini cakes.
00:46:04.83\00:46:07.56
And...
00:46:07.60\00:46:09.73
Oh, isn't that beautiful?
00:46:09.76\00:46:11.87
Oh, how could you
deny that beautiful cake?
00:46:11.90\00:46:14.70
Look here.
00:46:14.74\00:46:17.94
Alvin, thank you so much
for coming here on the program.
00:46:17.97\00:46:21.04
I had to
literally twist his arm.
00:46:21.08\00:46:22.91
He said, "No, no, I
don't want to come out there."
00:46:22.94\00:46:24.41
I said, "Alvin,
you got to come out."
00:46:24.45\00:46:26.18
I want people to
know who you are,
00:46:26.21\00:46:27.88
and what you do for us.
00:46:27.92\00:46:29.25
I think it's
important to give people credit
00:46:29.28\00:46:30.65
when credit is due.
00:46:30.69\00:46:32.02
There's enough there
00:46:32.05\00:46:33.39
for about three of
those little bundt pans.
00:46:33.42\00:46:34.76
Great.
00:46:34.79\00:46:36.12
Let's go on to our next recipe.
00:46:36.16\00:46:37.49
Rendall, if you
will read that for us.
00:46:37.53\00:46:38.86
This is for our
cranberry breeze.
00:46:38.89\00:46:41.86
Every good brunch
00:47:05.05\00:47:06.65
deserves a wonderful
drink, don't you think?
00:47:06.69\00:47:09.02
I believe it.
00:47:09.06\00:47:10.39
And I really like this one,
00:47:10.43\00:47:11.76
because it's made
with 100% fruit juices.
00:47:11.79\00:47:13.76
And actually, for this one,
00:47:13.80\00:47:15.76
I took the
pineapple out of the can.
00:47:15.80\00:47:18.47
If you can't find
pineapple juice, that's a 100%.
00:47:18.50\00:47:21.00
Find a 100%,
00:47:21.04\00:47:22.37
whether it be
crushed or tidbits,
00:47:22.40\00:47:24.04
you can use that.
00:47:24.07\00:47:25.41
Now this is cranberry
juice that I got, that is 100%.
00:47:25.44\00:47:30.25
What about that, that's
about what I want in there.
00:47:30.28\00:47:33.05
This is fresh
squeezed orange juice.
00:47:33.08\00:47:35.78
I love fresh
squeezed orange juice.
00:47:35.82\00:47:37.39
That's why I
like to go to Florida.
00:47:37.42\00:47:38.75
It's the best.
00:47:38.79\00:47:40.12
I know, we go into
Florida and guess what we do?
00:47:40.16\00:47:42.89
We hit that place.
00:47:42.92\00:47:44.53
What is that, that
rest area or something
00:47:44.56\00:47:46.36
and we go in there
00:47:46.39\00:47:47.73
and drink a bunch of
orange juice every time.
00:47:47.76\00:47:49.10
And it's interesting to me
that the oranges in Florida
00:47:49.13\00:47:52.83
are from
California and vice versa.
00:47:52.87\00:47:56.10
Yes.
00:47:56.14\00:47:57.47
Because one is a juicer,
and one is a eating orange.
00:47:57.51\00:47:59.74
I know, we found that out
00:47:59.77\00:48:01.11
because I thought,
wow, you guys don't buy it.
00:48:01.14\00:48:03.65
Now this is going to be
noisy for just a few minutes
00:48:03.68\00:48:05.78
because I want to pulsate
00:48:05.81\00:48:07.45
and get some of this
some pineapple blended.
00:48:07.48\00:48:10.62
I know Vitamixes are so noisy
00:48:14.19\00:48:16.73
but they do such a
good job, don't they?
00:48:16.76\00:48:18.56
You've got
three or four of them.
00:48:21.66\00:48:23.26
I know, I know, I think,
00:48:23.30\00:48:25.20
I need another one
really soon, Honey.
00:48:25.23\00:48:27.74
Now I'm taking my cranberries,
00:48:27.77\00:48:32.24
I just want a
couple for on the top.
00:48:32.27\00:48:34.71
That's all I want in there.
00:48:34.74\00:48:36.44
And I am just
going to blend this
00:48:36.48\00:48:38.45
really, really, really, slow.
00:48:38.48\00:48:40.42
So I'm gonna turn that down
00:48:40.45\00:48:41.78
and basically
just pulse them in.
00:48:41.82\00:48:43.89
Watch it change colors.
00:48:43.92\00:48:47.02
You don't want
them to be totally.
00:48:47.06\00:48:49.69
No, I want them just like this.
00:48:49.72\00:48:51.13
The more pulp will show up.
00:48:51.16\00:48:52.73
Yes, I want some color in it.
00:48:52.76\00:48:55.46
And I want just a
little bit of texture, so...
00:48:55.50\00:48:59.33
Yummy, Honey. Wow.
00:49:02.90\00:49:04.51
I'm thirsty. Are you thirsty?
00:49:04.54\00:49:05.97
I think we should try it.
00:49:06.01\00:49:08.04
You know, Rendall and I travel
all over the United States,
00:49:08.08\00:49:11.18
doing health
ministry, and we just love it.
00:49:11.21\00:49:14.25
We've been on the road
so much in the last year.
00:49:14.28\00:49:17.19
In 16 months,
00:49:17.22\00:49:19.32
we have put 51,000
miles on our vehicle.
00:49:19.35\00:49:22.12
Correction, 52.
00:49:22.16\00:49:24.03
Oh, 52, Honey, I'm so sorry.
00:49:24.06\00:49:27.60
He had to retire to go to
work, is what he said with me.
00:49:27.63\00:49:29.76
Exactly.
00:49:29.80\00:49:31.20
And I love it. I enjoy it.
00:49:31.23\00:49:32.87
And it's so
wonderful to have a partner
00:49:32.90\00:49:35.07
who's involved
with ministry with you.
00:49:35.10\00:49:36.84
My husband is so supportive.
00:49:36.87\00:49:38.74
I just can't thank you enough
for the time and the effort
00:49:38.77\00:49:41.98
and all the
driving time that you spend
00:49:42.01\00:49:45.61
to take us from place to place.
00:49:45.65\00:49:47.38
I've never heard him
grumble, never complain.
00:49:47.42\00:49:49.78
He loves the Lord.
00:49:49.82\00:49:51.15
And he loves health ministries,
done a lot for both of us.
00:49:51.19\00:49:53.92
Both he and I have
come so far in our health.
00:49:53.96\00:49:57.53
We both have
some way still to go.
00:49:57.56\00:49:59.83
Sure.
00:49:59.86\00:50:01.20
You know, we still want
to lose weight collectively.
00:50:01.23\00:50:02.90
But if there's
any, anybody out there
00:50:02.93\00:50:06.37
who might be
interested in our ministry,
00:50:06.40\00:50:09.24
or wants to
contact us for any reason,
00:50:09.27\00:50:11.71
you can do that
anytime, we're accessible.
00:50:11.74\00:50:15.94
We have different
programs that we do.
00:50:15.98\00:50:17.81
Yes.
00:50:17.85\00:50:19.18
And Rendall is a
phenomenal harmonica player.
00:50:19.21\00:50:23.32
And you do, you
have a CD right now,
00:50:23.35\00:50:25.89
I have cookbooks and
he actually will go in
00:50:25.92\00:50:28.66
and do like 30 minute concerts,
before or in between seminars.
00:50:28.69\00:50:34.30
Sometimes after church
if I do the 11 o'clock hour,
00:50:34.33\00:50:37.47
and it's just
beautiful over and over again,
00:50:37.50\00:50:39.40
people say,
00:50:39.43\00:50:40.77
I just love your
husband's harmonica playing,
00:50:40.80\00:50:43.30
it's so sweet
and it's so calming,
00:50:43.34\00:50:45.31
and it really is.
00:50:45.34\00:50:46.68
It's not like your
typical harmonica playing.
00:50:46.71\00:50:48.68
But you've been
doing it a long time
00:50:48.71\00:50:50.11
and you do a really good
job and I appreciate that.
00:50:50.15\00:50:51.48
Thank you very much.
00:50:51.51\00:50:53.01
So, having said that.
