00:00:01.83\00:00:07.77

Hello, and welcome to
another 3BN Today program.
00:01:08.53\00:01:11.83
I'm Jason Bradley.
00:01:11.87\00:01:13.20
And here with me
is Nicole Braxton.
00:01:13.23\00:01:16.47
And, Nicole, tell us
00:01:16.50\00:01:17.84
a little bit about
yourself and what you do?
00:01:17.87\00:01:20.21
Yes, well, I'm so
excited to be here today.
00:01:20.24\00:01:23.48
So I am the founder of
Around the World in Seven Days
00:01:23.51\00:01:26.55
and R.O.C.K which stands
for Restore Our Community Krew.
00:01:26.58\00:01:29.92
We're a local ministry
in the Metro Detroit area.
00:01:29.95\00:01:32.72
And our goal is to
share a message of health
00:01:32.75\00:01:35.29
and restoration
with the community.
00:01:35.32\00:01:37.76
We do it through wellness
workshops and food production.
00:01:37.79\00:01:41.26
So those are our two
main things, basically,
00:01:41.30\00:01:43.60
just really combining
this message of health
00:01:43.63\00:01:46.80
with biblical principles
00:01:46.84\00:01:48.57
and how we can be
whole combining the both.
00:01:48.60\00:01:51.77
Okay, we actually have a picture
00:01:51.81\00:01:53.27
from one of your events
that we're going to put up,
00:01:53.31\00:01:55.51
so we can take a look at that.
00:01:55.54\00:01:58.91
Nice, now what is going on here?
00:01:58.95\00:02:00.72
What event was this?
00:02:00.75\00:02:02.08
So this was actually
our first pop up restaurant
00:02:02.12\00:02:06.05
that happened in,
00:02:06.09\00:02:08.09
in downtown or
in midtown Detroit.
00:02:08.12\00:02:10.76
It was a huge
success by God's grace.
00:02:10.79\00:02:13.90
And it was actually a miracle.
00:02:13.93\00:02:15.26
When we first
started out with the event,
00:02:15.30\00:02:17.67
we had about four
reservations for a space
00:02:17.70\00:02:22.60
that was meant
to seat a lot more.
00:02:22.64\00:02:25.71
And so I was
contemplating, I was like, "God,
00:02:25.74\00:02:27.78
do you really want me
to go forward with this?
00:02:27.81\00:02:29.44
I don't know, like,
00:02:29.48\00:02:30.81
I want to share a
message with the community,
00:02:30.85\00:02:32.45
but we only have
four reservation."
00:02:32.48\00:02:33.88
So I was thinking, you know,
00:02:33.92\00:02:35.35
I can't imagine a
big room being empty,
00:02:35.38\00:02:37.05
so maybe I should cancel it.
00:02:37.09\00:02:38.75
But as we got closer
to it, the week of...
00:02:38.79\00:02:42.59
The actually the following week,
00:02:42.62\00:02:45.69
after we had four reservations,
00:02:45.73\00:02:47.36
I prayed and someone
called and they asked for seven.
00:02:47.40\00:02:50.90
And then after that
it actually went to 76.
00:02:50.93\00:02:54.97
And we actually had to go
from one location to another
00:02:55.00\00:02:58.11
because we sold
out the other one.
00:02:58.14\00:03:00.14
So it was just a huge, that,
00:03:00.18\00:03:01.71
that's to me is
a community event.
00:03:01.74\00:03:05.05
Pop up restaurant that
just really was evidence
00:03:05.08\00:03:07.75
that God was moving
and working alive and well.
00:03:07.78\00:03:10.95
So, yeah, that's for the event.
00:03:10.99\00:03:12.32
From four to
seven to seventy. Yeah.
00:03:12.35\00:03:13.82
And I'm so thankful for everyone
00:03:13.86\00:03:15.19
that helped put
that event together.
00:03:15.22\00:03:17.36
I mean, it takes an
army so, very thankful.
00:03:17.39\00:03:20.23
Have you always been
big on the community?
00:03:20.26\00:03:22.56
I really, I just think
there's such huge power
00:03:22.60\00:03:25.27
about community and which is why
00:03:25.30\00:03:27.60
I love this
Thanksgiving episode.
00:03:27.64\00:03:29.24
Because when I think of food,
00:03:29.27\00:03:31.54
I think about, you know,
00:03:31.57\00:03:33.17
bringing people together around
something that's delicious.
00:03:33.21\00:03:36.44
I love food. Oh, yeah, I too.
00:03:36.48\00:03:37.91
You know, and so,
so one of the things
00:03:37.95\00:03:40.28
I like to do with communities,
00:03:40.32\00:03:42.12
we do like different workshops,
00:03:42.15\00:03:43.49
churches will have us
come and do wellness workshops
00:03:43.52\00:03:46.79
and new thing that really
now is millennial workshops,
00:03:46.82\00:03:49.79
like how to cook
quickly on the go.
00:03:49.82\00:03:52.69
So that's one of our thing
00:03:52.73\00:03:54.06
really to attract the millennial
00:03:54.10\00:03:55.43
so that's what I like to do it
00:03:55.46\00:03:56.80
in the community myself, so...
00:03:56.83\00:03:58.17
That's awesome.
00:03:58.20\00:03:59.53
Well, you're no
stranger to 3ABN.
00:03:59.57\00:04:00.90
You've also hosted Creative
Cooking on Dare to Dream,
00:04:00.94\00:04:03.07
the second season of it.
00:04:03.10\00:04:04.74
And so, I've had the
joy of tasting your food.
00:04:04.77\00:04:07.61
I'm looking forward to tasting
00:04:07.64\00:04:09.31
what you're going
to be making today.
00:04:09.34\00:04:11.48
Well, I'll be assisting,
00:04:11.51\00:04:13.55
but what you'll be making today,
00:04:13.58\00:04:16.35
I planned on tasting,
but we'll work it out.
00:04:16.38\00:04:18.85
We'll work on it.
00:04:18.89\00:04:20.22
Tell us what we're
going to be making?
00:04:20.26\00:04:21.59
So today we're going to
be making stuffing casserole,
00:04:21.62\00:04:25.19
creamy squash soup.
00:04:25.23\00:04:27.76
We will also be making
00:04:27.80\00:04:30.50
the turkey pot pie, asparagus,
00:04:30.53\00:04:35.00
and we're going to
finish our meal off
00:04:35.04\00:04:37.24
with a sweet potato casserole.
00:04:37.27\00:04:39.57
Oh, that sounds amazing.
00:04:39.61\00:04:41.21
That sounds amazing.
00:04:41.24\00:04:42.71
So what's in our
first recipe? Okay.
00:04:42.74\00:04:45.21
Oh, I'm looking forward to this.
00:05:07.80\00:05:09.44
So where do we
begin with this recipe?
00:05:09.47\00:05:12.71
Okay, so I'm really excited
00:05:12.74\00:05:14.84
because we're going to start
00:05:14.88\00:05:16.21
with one of my
favorite ingredients
00:05:16.24\00:05:18.38
which is an onion.
00:05:18.41\00:05:19.91
I guess it gives
you so much flavor
00:05:19.95\00:05:21.92
and it is really
good for you as well.
00:05:21.95\00:05:24.55
So I'm going to
start off with the onion,
00:05:24.59\00:05:26.19
I'm going to cut
off, you know, the ends.
00:05:26.22\00:05:30.23
Okay.
00:05:30.26\00:05:31.59
And then, after you peel it
and then I'll cut down as well.
00:05:34.30\00:05:39.13
And then I just like
to make little slits.
00:05:39.17\00:05:42.64
And cut into the onion.
00:05:42.67\00:05:44.21
Well, you do that a
lot faster than I can.
00:05:47.41\00:05:52.08
I just, you know,
00:05:52.11\00:05:54.18
if, when you make
different slits on it too
00:05:54.22\00:05:56.25
and you go in the inside,
it helps to make it quicker.
00:05:56.28\00:06:00.26
So now, we can chop it
into multiple slices or pieces.
00:06:00.29\00:06:05.19
Right.
00:06:05.23\00:06:08.76
All right, so then we're
going to chop this onion.
00:06:08.80\00:06:11.13
And for the next ingredient,
we're going to use celery.
00:06:11.17\00:06:15.20
Okay. Which we
have some right here.
00:06:15.24\00:06:16.87
So what we can do
is heat up our skillet.
00:06:16.91\00:06:18.81
Okay.
00:06:18.84\00:06:22.01
Now, do you want it
on high heat or low?
00:06:22.04\00:06:24.21
You can do like medium
heat, medium to medium high.
00:06:24.25\00:06:28.22
Gotcha.
00:06:28.25\00:06:29.58
All right.
00:06:33.36\00:06:34.86
Okay.
00:06:34.89\00:06:36.56
Now, we're going to put
00:06:36.59\00:06:37.93
a little bit of the vegan butter
00:06:37.96\00:06:40.26
and also if you have a
spoon, that'll be great.
00:06:40.30\00:06:45.13
So for me, Thanksgiving,
00:06:45.17\00:06:47.74
like I was telling you
is like a really big time
00:06:47.77\00:06:50.34
for our family, we get together,
00:06:50.37\00:06:52.17
eat a lot of good food.
00:06:52.21\00:06:54.58
And I like stuffing
and this dressing recipe
00:06:54.61\00:07:00.75
because it's filling,
it's quick, it's simple,
00:07:00.78\00:07:04.39
especially for
someone that's on the go,
00:07:04.42\00:07:05.89
doesn't want to
spend a lot of time.
00:07:05.92\00:07:07.26
I like this for that.
00:07:07.29\00:07:08.62
So right now, you're
letting the butter melt
00:07:08.66\00:07:10.96
which is great.
00:07:10.99\00:07:13.29
And you can put your
onion in here as well.
00:07:13.33\00:07:16.93
Yeah, I love Thanksgiving.
00:07:16.97\00:07:19.60
Family gets together,
00:07:19.63\00:07:20.97
you get to eat a
lot of great food.
00:07:21.00\00:07:23.04
Yes.
00:07:23.07\00:07:24.41
Yeah, we gonna put
the onion in there.
00:07:24.44\00:07:25.77
Yeah, we can put it in here.
00:07:25.81\00:07:27.81
Oops.
00:07:27.84\00:07:29.18
Leave it to me to make a mess.
00:07:29.21\00:07:30.85
No worries at all.
00:07:30.88\00:07:34.55
All right.
00:07:34.58\00:07:37.85
Good. There you go.
00:07:37.89\00:07:39.22
And so the next
ingredient is the celery.
00:07:39.25\00:07:42.72
Okay.
00:07:42.76\00:07:44.09
It looks like a
staple at your house.
00:07:49.36\00:07:51.93
You know, I love this
during the holiday seasons,
00:07:51.97\00:07:54.14
whether it's
Christmas or Thanksgiving.
00:07:54.17\00:07:57.54
So the great
thing about the celery
00:07:57.57\00:08:01.14
is that it has like
anti-inflammatory properties.
00:08:01.18\00:08:04.58
So it's good with that
and it's very low calories.
00:08:04.61\00:08:09.95
So, for me
eating things like this
00:08:09.98\00:08:12.62
and eating more plant based
has really helped me to grow.
00:08:12.65\00:08:15.32
So one of the things
that I like to share it
00:08:15.36\00:08:17.23
with my talks is that,
00:08:17.26\00:08:18.93
you know, health is a journey.
00:08:18.96\00:08:20.50
And so, dishes like
this help along the journey
00:08:20.53\00:08:23.30
because it's not
really labor intensive.
00:08:23.33\00:08:26.43
But, yeah, so this is
one of my favorite dishes.
00:08:26.47\00:08:30.91
And do you just let
it sit or do you stir?
00:08:30.94\00:08:32.27
Just let it
simmer for a little bit.
00:08:32.31\00:08:33.74
You want to let it crisp.
00:08:33.78\00:08:35.44
And to season it, we're
going to use a little bit
00:08:35.48\00:08:38.05
of the vegetable broth.
00:08:38.08\00:08:40.15
Okay.
00:08:40.18\00:08:42.42
So you can start pouring. Yeah.
00:08:42.45\00:08:47.56
That's good.
00:08:47.59\00:08:49.59
All right, so now
what's going to happen
00:08:49.62\00:08:51.43
as the onion and the
celery is going to start to take
00:08:51.46\00:08:55.20
on the flavor of
the vegetable broth,
00:08:55.23\00:08:57.07
so it gives it a nice seasoning.
00:08:57.10\00:08:58.43
You have to put a lot
of different things in it,
00:08:58.47\00:08:59.80
just kind of like
your one stop shop,
00:08:59.83\00:09:01.34
which I love.
00:09:01.37\00:09:02.70
Nice, yes. Yeah.
00:09:02.74\00:09:04.07
So you can give a
little stir. Okay.
00:09:04.11\00:09:05.54
So what's your
favorite Thanksgiving dish?
00:09:09.44\00:09:11.88
Um, me personally, I
love, I love collard greens...
00:09:11.91\00:09:15.52
Collard greens.
00:09:15.55\00:09:16.89
I really love collard
greens, so I like macaroni,
00:09:16.92\00:09:19.89
like mashed potatoes,
dressing, the stuffing.
00:09:19.92\00:09:25.23
I just love food. Yeah.
00:09:25.26\00:09:26.80
I'm a foodie at heart. Me too.
00:09:26.83\00:09:30.07
Um, so, and also
to like so you can,
00:09:30.10\00:09:33.77
can you smell it
a little bit there?
00:09:33.80\00:09:38.01
Isn't that great?
00:09:38.04\00:09:39.37
The aroma is so good.
00:09:39.41\00:09:40.81
So it just starts
taking on the different flavor
00:09:40.84\00:09:44.11
and seasoning of
the vegetable broth.
00:09:44.15\00:09:46.21
And so as that is going,
00:09:46.25\00:09:47.78
we're going to
add the stuffing mix.
00:09:47.82\00:09:52.55
So we'll pour that in there,
and you get you can actually...
00:09:52.59\00:09:54.16
All of it or...?
00:09:54.19\00:09:55.52
Yeah, you can pour all of it in.
00:09:55.56\00:09:56.89
And then you can actually
kick up the heat a little bit.
00:09:56.93\00:09:59.23
Okay.
00:09:59.26\00:10:00.60
Let's see here.
00:10:04.03\00:10:05.37
Perfect, so you
want to get it to sizzle.
00:10:08.57\00:10:11.51
And then now you're going to add
00:10:11.54\00:10:12.87
more of the vegetable broth.
00:10:12.91\00:10:14.51
All of it or...?
00:10:14.54\00:10:16.34
I'll tell you
when to stop, yeah.
00:10:16.38\00:10:17.71
Okay.
00:10:17.75\00:10:19.08
All right,
that's good. All right.
00:10:25.49\00:10:27.89
So you just gradually
00:10:27.92\00:10:29.26
are pouring the
vegetable broth in,
00:10:29.29\00:10:30.63
so that you make sure
that it's able to be...
00:10:30.66\00:10:33.90
If you can give
that a stir, so that the,
00:10:33.93\00:10:37.63
the stuffing
casserole of a stuffing mix
00:10:37.67\00:10:40.40
can be able to
absorb it gradually.
00:10:40.44\00:10:42.77
So you just stir
that all together,
00:10:42.80\00:10:44.31
you'll get to the
bottom of the pan.
00:10:44.34\00:10:46.27
This is nice,
because it's like, you said,
00:10:46.31\00:10:48.21
it's really just
layers the flavors.
00:10:48.24\00:10:50.18
Yeah, I really like it.
00:10:50.21\00:10:51.55
And so, by getting
the herbal seasoning
00:10:51.58\00:10:54.28
from the pack,
00:10:54.32\00:10:55.65
it also does
seasoning for you too,
00:10:55.68\00:10:57.09
so you don't have to buy
all these different ingredients,
00:10:57.12\00:10:59.79
the ingredients and
the different seasonings
00:10:59.82\00:11:01.72
that are listed are
for additional flavor
00:11:01.76\00:11:03.76
if you want to
add something more,
00:11:03.79\00:11:05.26
but it's kind of
like your one stop shop.
00:11:05.29\00:11:07.16
Got you.
00:11:07.20\00:11:08.53
Perfect for a
millennial or someone
00:11:08.56\00:11:09.93
who wants to cook on the go.
00:11:09.96\00:11:11.30
That's right.
00:11:11.33\00:11:12.67
Or if you got a whole
bunch of other dishes to prepare
00:11:12.70\00:11:15.27
for Thanksgiving if nobody
else is doing the cooking.
00:11:15.30\00:11:17.51
Yes. There you go.
00:11:17.54\00:11:18.91
Simple at its best.
00:11:18.94\00:11:20.38
I like to work smarter. Yes.
00:11:20.41\00:11:24.65
So that is a great one.
00:11:24.68\00:11:26.21
So you just keep
stirring that. Okay.
00:11:26.25\00:11:28.18
It's going really well.
00:11:28.22\00:11:29.55
You can reduce
the heat a little bit.
00:11:29.58\00:11:30.92
I think it's starting to...
00:11:30.95\00:11:33.09
All right. Yes.
00:11:33.12\00:11:36.32
All right, so the
other additional thing
00:11:36.36\00:11:38.43
that's actually unique
00:11:38.46\00:11:40.23
that is not in a lot
of stuffings is cornmeal,
00:11:40.26\00:11:43.57
and cornmeal is great
00:11:43.60\00:11:45.27
because it has a
lot of nutrients in it.
00:11:45.30\00:11:49.60
And it also is has protein
00:11:49.64\00:11:52.61
as well as
carbohydrates in the cornmeal.
00:11:52.64\00:11:54.74
So it's just really
packed with nutrition.
00:11:54.78\00:11:57.58
It's gluten free
which is nice. Yeah.
00:11:57.61\00:12:01.08
So what you can do with this,
00:12:01.12\00:12:02.78
so what I like to do
is make a little pocket.
00:12:02.82\00:12:05.29
Okay.
00:12:05.32\00:12:06.65
I like to make a little
pocket or just move aside...
00:12:06.69\00:12:10.59
Okay.
00:12:10.63\00:12:11.96
Some space on the pan
00:12:11.99\00:12:14.76
and just so that you can see it.
00:12:14.80\00:12:18.00
Just kind of made a
little space right there.
00:12:18.03\00:12:20.70
And so now I'm going to
put the cornmeal inside.
00:12:20.74\00:12:23.91
Okay.
00:12:23.94\00:12:26.01
And I'll add vegetable broth.
00:12:26.04\00:12:30.11
And then stir that together.
00:12:30.15\00:12:31.95
Just in its own little...
Yeah, just in its own little...
00:12:31.98\00:12:34.42
Little layering
there. Yeah, stirring that.
00:12:34.45\00:12:36.82
So it just makes
a nice like mush.
00:12:36.85\00:12:39.85
And there you go.
And then now mix it in.
00:12:39.89\00:12:41.89
Okay.
00:12:41.92\00:12:43.26
I'm gonna turn
this way. Yeah, sure.
00:12:43.29\00:12:46.70
I'll try not to
make a mess here.
00:12:46.73\00:12:48.40
Yeah. Smart.
00:12:48.43\00:12:51.17
And then you just fold like,
yes, just like you're doing,
00:12:51.20\00:12:53.23
you're folding it over.
00:12:53.27\00:12:54.60
So all of the
flavors are combining
00:12:54.64\00:12:57.31
and becoming one which is nice.
00:12:57.34\00:13:01.21
And then as you keep doing that,
00:13:01.24\00:13:03.81
I'm going to pour a little
bit more of the vegetable broth
00:13:03.85\00:13:05.75
and finish it off.
00:13:05.78\00:13:07.12
Nice.
00:13:09.88\00:13:11.22
All right, so
that is all of that,
00:13:11.25\00:13:13.62
and then we're going to add this
00:13:13.66\00:13:15.12
one of my favorite ingredients.
00:13:15.16\00:13:17.63
What is it?
00:13:17.66\00:13:18.99
I can't wait to
tell you about it.
00:13:19.03\00:13:20.96
It's used often in
the restaurant industry,
00:13:21.00\00:13:24.13
and it's something today
we're going to use at home,
00:13:24.17\00:13:26.17
you may have heard of it.
00:13:26.20\00:13:27.54
It's this thing.
00:13:27.57\00:13:28.90
You know, a lot of
times people are talking about
00:13:28.94\00:13:31.31
combining ingredients
00:13:31.34\00:13:33.44
and they have
maybe different fillers
00:13:33.48\00:13:35.78
when it comes to vegan food.
00:13:35.81\00:13:37.98
This is a low cost... Okay.
00:13:38.01\00:13:42.22
Quick, effective
solution for combining things
00:13:42.25\00:13:47.02
as it's looked at
as an egg replacement.
00:13:47.06\00:13:49.92
Oh, really? So are you ready?
00:13:49.96\00:13:52.36
I'm ready. Are you sure?
00:13:52.39\00:13:53.76
I'm positive. Okay.
00:13:53.80\00:13:55.43
So now basically
what it is, is...
00:13:55.46\00:14:00.24
You ready?
00:14:00.27\00:14:03.07
What you got? Okay.
00:14:03.10\00:14:04.94
So, what we have is chickpeas.
00:14:04.97\00:14:10.45
So this is actually
the liquid from chickpeas.
00:14:10.48\00:14:12.58
Really? Yep.
00:14:12.61\00:14:13.95
So you take a can of chickpeas,
00:14:13.98\00:14:15.95
you take the
liquid from the chickpeas
00:14:15.98\00:14:18.62
and then you'll take a fork.
00:14:18.65\00:14:20.92
And you just do this
00:14:20.96\00:14:23.09
until you start
to see foam forming.
00:14:23.12\00:14:27.53
So that's, that aquafaba stuff?
00:14:27.56\00:14:29.33
Yeah, so you can...
00:14:29.36\00:14:30.70
The type of density
that you did, you see,
00:14:30.73\00:14:33.00
just like you would
have, if you were to make eggs.
00:14:33.03\00:14:35.80
Do you see how it
foams at the top, like that?
00:14:35.84\00:14:39.87
So, if you
continue to whip this,
00:14:39.91\00:14:42.44
this in also can
turn into a meringue.
00:14:42.48\00:14:44.58
Oh, okay.
00:14:44.61\00:14:46.68
So this is a
really good replacer
00:14:46.72\00:14:49.48
and we just
wanted to be a binder,
00:14:49.52\00:14:51.19
we don't want it to
turn to anything else,
00:14:51.22\00:14:52.55
you can take that off the heat.
00:14:52.59\00:14:54.02
Okay.
00:14:54.06\00:14:56.12
And now we're going to
put it in a nonstick pan
00:14:56.16\00:15:01.86
or baking pan.
00:15:01.90\00:15:03.23
Yeah. Nice.
00:15:03.26\00:15:04.60
Okay, so I'll
put this over here.
00:15:04.63\00:15:07.47
Okay.
00:15:07.50\00:15:09.17
And now, we will layer this,
00:15:09.20\00:15:13.27
so you want to
have your nonstick pan,
00:15:13.31\00:15:15.31
and then you'll go
ahead and put this in there.
00:15:15.34\00:15:17.01
This is gonna be the
interesting part here.
00:15:17.05\00:15:19.35
Yes. Watch yourself, it's hot.
00:15:19.38\00:15:21.18
Okay.
00:15:21.22\00:15:24.19
I did not want to burn anybody.
00:15:24.22\00:15:27.26
You or me.
00:15:27.29\00:15:29.32
Well, I appreciate that.
00:15:29.36\00:15:31.99
Do you see how this is
just like smooth and that...
00:15:32.03\00:15:35.40
It's the, what I like about that
00:15:35.43\00:15:37.27
is that we're going to bake it
00:15:37.30\00:15:38.63
and then I'm going to let crisp,
00:15:38.67\00:15:40.24
you know topping,
00:15:40.27\00:15:41.60
but still warm and delicious,
and smooth in the inside.
00:15:41.64\00:15:46.34
Okay. I see.
00:15:46.37\00:15:48.18
Well, we're getting it in there
without spilling any of this.
00:15:48.21\00:15:50.51
Yeah, there you
go, skills, skills.
00:15:50.55\00:15:53.48
Thank you. No problem.
00:15:53.52\00:15:56.25
Okay. All right.
00:15:56.28\00:15:57.85
So now, I'm
going to pour about...
00:15:57.89\00:16:01.66
As pour the
portion of the aquafaba
00:16:01.69\00:16:04.39
into the mixture.
00:16:04.43\00:16:06.66
Mm-hmm.
00:16:06.70\00:16:08.03
Okay.
00:16:12.33\00:16:13.67
And then do you stir
that? Then you'll stir that.
00:16:13.70\00:16:15.04
Mm-hmm.
00:16:15.07\00:16:18.11
Stir that in, just
mixing the aquafaba right now
00:16:18.14\00:16:20.94
and making sure
all of the ingredients
00:16:20.98\00:16:22.64
are getting that,
this is a good binder.
00:16:22.68\00:16:25.15
Gotcha.
00:16:25.18\00:16:27.15
Perfect.
00:16:27.18\00:16:28.52
All right. Perfect.
00:16:31.89\00:16:33.66
All right. And so now...
00:16:33.69\00:16:35.12
I'll let you work on
the presentation part then.
00:16:35.16\00:16:37.53
And so, I like to layer
and it just depends on like
00:16:37.56\00:16:39.96
what you like, if you
want it to be all one layer,
00:16:40.00\00:16:43.47
you can smooth it down
just like this and bake it.
00:16:43.50\00:16:47.00
If you'd like it to be a
little crispy or just, you know,
00:16:47.04\00:16:49.54
like rough around
the edges, then you can,
00:16:49.57\00:16:51.61
you don't have
to smooth it down.
00:16:51.64\00:16:52.97
Gotcha.
00:16:53.01\00:16:54.34
So we're just smoothing it down.
00:16:54.38\00:16:56.28
And then we'll
pop that in the oven?
00:16:56.31\00:16:57.65
Then we're gonna
pop this in the oven,
00:16:57.68\00:16:59.81
and for about 15 to 17
minutes on 375 degrees.
00:16:59.85\00:17:04.29
All right. And you're done.
00:17:04.32\00:17:06.12
So we'll go ahead
and put that in the oven
00:17:06.15\00:17:08.06
and start on our next dish.
00:17:08.09\00:17:11.99
Lovely.
00:17:12.03\00:17:13.36
What is our next recipe?
00:17:13.40\00:17:14.73
Our next recipe is
creamy squash soup.
00:17:14.76\00:17:19.97
The recipe calls for:
00:17:20.00\00:17:21.34
So we have the
creamy squash soup.
00:17:39.25\00:17:41.36
Now, I see we have some nice,
00:17:41.39\00:17:43.43
what looks to be
natural ingredients here.
00:17:43.46\00:17:46.70
Where do we start
mixing all this together?
00:17:46.73\00:17:49.53
Yes. So I'm starting off.
00:17:49.56\00:17:51.60
If you could heat up the pot.
00:17:51.63\00:17:53.67
Okay, you want it on low-medium?
00:17:53.70\00:17:55.90
You could do medium.
00:17:55.94\00:17:57.27
Medium? Okay.
00:17:57.31\00:17:59.31
So now we're going to use...
00:17:59.34\00:18:01.24
The cool thing
about this, you know,
00:18:01.28\00:18:03.61
you can either use an olive oil,
00:18:03.65\00:18:06.48
like an extra virgin olive oil.
00:18:06.51\00:18:09.48
I like cold press
because it's less,
00:18:09.52\00:18:12.15
it has less of a process.
00:18:12.19\00:18:16.12
Right, it's less processed,
so it's better for you.
00:18:16.16\00:18:18.13
Exactly.
00:18:18.16\00:18:19.49
But then there
is this new movement
00:18:19.53\00:18:20.90
to where it's like
less oil if at all.
00:18:20.93\00:18:24.17
So one of the
things I like to try doing
00:18:24.20\00:18:26.10
is cooking with water.
00:18:26.13\00:18:27.47
So it's also less
expensive, you know,
00:18:27.50\00:18:30.14
water 'cause we
faucet, which is great,
00:18:30.17\00:18:31.87
but anyways, it's really
good for your body as well.
00:18:31.91\00:18:34.11
So we're going to
pour a little bit of water.
00:18:34.14\00:18:35.58
Okay.
00:18:35.61\00:18:36.95
Nice. Okay.
00:18:41.62\00:18:43.95
And then we're
going to add onions.
00:18:43.99\00:18:46.25
Okay.
00:18:46.29\00:18:50.06
There you go. It's perfect.
It's jumping on in there.
00:18:50.09\00:18:52.99
And we'll also add some garlic.
00:18:53.03\00:18:54.86
You may need a little
spatula for that or spoon.
00:18:54.90\00:18:59.90
I definitely want to taste this.
00:18:59.93\00:19:02.37
And so what I
really love about garlic
00:19:02.40\00:19:04.54
is that they have
different antibodies in it,
00:19:04.57\00:19:07.78
and it really helps to
build your immune system.
00:19:07.81\00:19:10.21
So actually
during the cold season
00:19:10.25\00:19:11.91
what I like to do is, you know,
00:19:11.95\00:19:14.18
combine garlic
as well as ginger,
00:19:14.22\00:19:19.42
and a lot of different things
00:19:19.45\00:19:20.82
that are strong for
building up the immune system.
00:19:20.86\00:19:23.06
So I hope so when colds
come, I'm really not as worried,
00:19:23.09\00:19:26.43
you know, like,
yeah, you can knock it out
00:19:26.46\00:19:28.23
or you can be preventative
00:19:28.26\00:19:29.60
and you don't
experience as much sickness.
00:19:29.63\00:19:31.73
But for me,
00:19:31.77\00:19:33.10
especially around a
lot of different people,
00:19:33.13\00:19:34.47
this really helps
to decrease the time,
00:19:34.50\00:19:35.87
so I like
garlic, so it's powerful.
00:19:35.90\00:19:38.71
So in other words,
00:19:38.74\00:19:40.08
food can be
preventative in nature.
00:19:40.11\00:19:42.54
Yes. Yep.
00:19:42.58\00:19:43.91
So it's like, it's amazing
how like God designed food
00:19:43.95\00:19:46.85
to also heal our bodies.
00:19:46.88\00:19:48.22
Oftentimes,
we're always feel like,
00:19:48.25\00:19:49.58
does it taste good
which is great, is important.
00:19:49.62\00:19:51.75
He created us with
taste buds, He did.
00:19:51.79\00:19:54.32
And the cool thing
is that with taste buds,
00:19:54.36\00:19:57.39
food can also heal our
bodies and help our bodies,
00:19:57.43\00:20:00.46
it can fuel our bodies.
00:20:00.50\00:20:01.83
So that's why I
like cooking plant based.
00:20:01.86\00:20:03.80
So, yep, so
you'll give that a stir.
00:20:03.83\00:20:05.93
Okay, let me grab
this spatula here.
00:20:05.97\00:20:10.41
Perfect. Yep.
00:20:10.44\00:20:11.91
And if you notice that
00:20:11.94\00:20:13.27
it needs a
little bit more liquid,
00:20:13.31\00:20:14.64
you'll just add a little bit,
00:20:14.68\00:20:16.01
a little bit more
in there and stir that.
00:20:16.04\00:20:18.48
So right now, we
just want to make sure
00:20:18.51\00:20:20.15
we sauté the onions and garlic
00:20:20.18\00:20:22.58
to really allow the
flavors to be released
00:20:22.62\00:20:26.22
and the oils to be
released from both.
00:20:26.25\00:20:28.02
So if you actually go ahead
and give it a little smell,
00:20:28.06\00:20:30.83
you can be able to...
00:20:30.86\00:20:32.19
Oh, yeah. Can you smell it?
00:20:32.23\00:20:33.56
I smell it. Sounds great.
00:20:33.60\00:20:34.96
Good. It smells good.
00:20:35.00\00:20:36.33
Okay, so we have that.
00:20:36.36\00:20:38.37
I'm going to put a little
bit of vegetable broth in there.
00:20:38.40\00:20:41.47
Now, this is just similar
to the stuffing casserole
00:20:41.50\00:20:45.21
will give it a nice flavor.
00:20:45.24\00:20:46.81
Okay.
00:20:46.84\00:20:48.18
So allow that to cook in there.
00:20:48.21\00:20:49.74
And so, yep, go
ahead and stir that.
00:20:49.78\00:20:52.68
And when it comes to the squash,
00:20:52.71\00:20:54.62
you could
definitely buy it whole
00:20:54.65\00:20:56.08
and just cut it
up if you like...
00:20:56.12\00:20:58.29
Into little cubes.
00:20:58.32\00:20:59.65
Into little
cubes, you can do that.
00:20:59.69\00:21:01.02
One thing that I like
to do is in the section
00:21:01.06\00:21:03.66
that already has
cubed them for me
00:21:03.69\00:21:06.63
and they're refrigerated...
00:21:06.66\00:21:08.53
'Cause we're going for quick in.
00:21:08.56\00:21:09.93
Yeah, we're going
quick, effective, you know.
00:21:09.96\00:21:12.60
So you can get them
either in the freezer section
00:21:12.63\00:21:16.30
or you can get them
in the refrigerator.
00:21:16.34\00:21:19.07
So here's the cubed squash,
00:21:19.11\00:21:21.51
so you can pour
that in there too,
00:21:21.54\00:21:23.45
or put that in there.
00:21:23.48\00:21:25.05
All right, let's see here.
00:21:25.08\00:21:29.78
So, what are you thankful for?
00:21:29.82\00:21:32.49
Yes, so, you know,
00:21:32.52\00:21:33.92
Thanksgiving is
a really good time
00:21:33.96\00:21:35.52
to reflect like, like you said,
00:21:35.56\00:21:37.09
what are, what
am I thankful for?
00:21:37.13\00:21:39.59
But to answer your question,
00:21:39.63\00:21:42.10
I'm thankful for all
the different things,
00:21:42.13\00:21:44.90
you know, that God
has placed in my way,
00:21:44.93\00:21:47.24
you know, all the
different time after time,
00:21:47.27\00:21:52.67
you know, all the
different blessings
00:21:52.71\00:21:54.24
that He's giving me and
just this whole journey.
00:21:54.28\00:21:56.54
Sometimes I realize like
God will ask us to do something,
00:21:56.58\00:21:59.25
not just for us to help others,
00:21:59.28\00:22:01.32
but also it is how we
are directly connected to Him
00:22:01.35\00:22:04.75
and it's helping us.
00:22:04.79\00:22:06.12
So I'm just thankful
for, you know, community.
00:22:06.15\00:22:10.83
And support groups
are like one of the,
00:22:10.86\00:22:14.03
one of my favorite
things because, you know,
00:22:14.06\00:22:16.10
what I realized, you know,
00:22:16.13\00:22:17.83
when doing
ministry in different areas,
00:22:17.87\00:22:19.70
a lot of people
will say, you know,
00:22:19.73\00:22:21.24
I don't have
anyone or I, you know,
00:22:21.27\00:22:24.51
I needed this group or I needed,
00:22:24.54\00:22:27.28
you know, it's nice to connect
with people, you know, like.
00:22:27.31\00:22:30.68
What I've found
is that, you know,
00:22:30.71\00:22:32.91
in this world when we have like,
00:22:32.95\00:22:34.68
it's like, who we
surround ourselves around
00:22:34.72\00:22:37.85
can really dictate
our outlook on life.
00:22:37.89\00:22:40.19
So what I'm thankful for
is having a healthy community
00:22:40.22\00:22:44.19
and being able to go
out into the community
00:22:44.23\00:22:46.43
and share that love.
00:22:46.46\00:22:48.26
You know, local
churches are great place
00:22:48.30\00:22:50.83
to find that community too.
00:22:50.87\00:22:52.80
So in other words, if, you know,
00:22:52.83\00:22:54.27
if somebody's watching
and they don't have family.
00:22:54.30\00:22:58.94
They can find
their church family,
00:22:58.97\00:23:00.48
there's support groups,
there's all kinds of things.
00:23:00.51\00:23:02.81
So you don't have to
be alone on Thanksgiving.
00:23:02.84\00:23:04.71
Right. Yes.
00:23:04.75\00:23:06.55
So that's
definitely one of the things
00:23:06.58\00:23:08.62
I'm thankful for.
00:23:08.65\00:23:09.98
Okay.
00:23:10.02\00:23:11.35
And so, for the dish,
we're also going to pour
00:23:11.39\00:23:14.79
a little bit of the
vegetable broth in there
00:23:14.82\00:23:16.69
and let it cook down.
00:23:16.73\00:23:18.06
Okay. Yeah.
00:23:18.09\00:23:19.43
And another thing
I remember in Romans,
00:23:19.46\00:23:22.30
it's essentially, you know,
God has called us to love our,
00:23:22.33\00:23:25.10
you know, our brothers
00:23:25.13\00:23:26.47
and our brothers
and sisters in Christ
00:23:26.50\00:23:28.10
and just really love one another
00:23:28.14\00:23:30.11
and put others first.
00:23:30.14\00:23:31.54
You know, the world tells us
00:23:31.57\00:23:32.91
to kind of like
focus on yourself, right?
00:23:32.94\00:23:34.38
Yeah, yeah, very self oriented.
00:23:34.41\00:23:36.08
Yes, self oriented,
but what I like about,
00:23:36.11\00:23:39.91
you know, Thanksgiving, I
think it's also a great time
00:23:39.95\00:23:42.18
to get in the
community and give back.
00:23:42.22\00:23:44.45
You know, and to
build those connections
00:23:44.49\00:23:46.49
and relationships with
people, not solely for gain,
00:23:46.52\00:23:49.29
but genuinely to
help and serve, so...
00:23:49.32\00:23:52.19
Yeah.
00:23:52.23\00:23:53.56
That's one of the
things that I really like.
00:23:53.60\00:23:55.50
Yeah, that's along the
lines of Christ method.
00:23:55.53\00:23:58.17
Yeah, exactly.
00:23:58.20\00:23:59.60
Get to know somebody,
you assess their needs,
00:23:59.63\00:24:01.57
you meet their needs.
00:24:01.60\00:24:02.94
And then you end in
evangelism, I like that.
00:24:02.97\00:24:04.87
It's pretty good. Yeah.
00:24:04.91\00:24:06.24
So ministry in the
cities is a huge passion
00:24:06.27\00:24:08.18
of my ministry and of mine.
00:24:08.21\00:24:11.31
And that's really the goal
00:24:11.35\00:24:13.35
is really
ministering to the city,
00:24:13.38\00:24:14.82
mixing and mingling.
00:24:14.85\00:24:16.48
So with the squash,
00:24:16.52\00:24:17.85
I forgot to tell
you with the squash,
00:24:17.89\00:24:21.06
it's really great for you
00:24:21.09\00:24:22.46
because it also
has beta carotenes
00:24:22.49\00:24:24.73
which is great
for your eyesight.
00:24:24.76\00:24:26.76
It also has
potassium, has fiber as well.
00:24:26.80\00:24:31.47
And fiber is
excellent for weight loss.
00:24:31.50\00:24:34.44
I mean, excellent
for weight loss, so...
00:24:34.47\00:24:37.01
Okay.
00:24:37.04\00:24:38.37
In the sense that
it's not something
00:24:38.41\00:24:39.74
that clings to you,
00:24:39.77\00:24:41.11
it really helps
to allow your body
00:24:41.14\00:24:42.98
to get the
nutrients that it needs.
00:24:43.01\00:24:44.78
And it acts like a
broom, it takes away the things
00:24:44.81\00:24:47.25
that you do not need.
00:24:47.28\00:24:48.75
So we're just
going to let that simmer.
00:24:48.78\00:24:51.35
And as that is simmering,
00:24:51.39\00:24:54.32
the other thing
that we can either do,
00:24:54.36\00:24:57.06
so this is optional.
00:24:57.09\00:24:58.43
This is our coconut milk. Okay.
00:24:58.46\00:25:00.03
And the other
thing that you can do
00:25:00.06\00:25:02.10
is pour a little bit of
the coconut milk into it now
00:25:02.13\00:25:07.07
or you can wait at the
end and just drizzle it.
00:25:07.10\00:25:09.30
So I think this is about ready.
00:25:09.34\00:25:10.81
What we're going to do
is we're going to pour it
00:25:10.84\00:25:13.04
into our blender.
00:25:13.07\00:25:14.54
And we're going to go
ahead and make our soup.
00:25:14.58\00:25:17.05
I think you probably
be a little bit better
00:25:17.08\00:25:19.85
at doing that...
00:25:19.88\00:25:21.22
Okay. Maybe with this.
00:25:21.25\00:25:22.58
Sure, can I have a
spatula just for this?
00:25:22.62\00:25:23.95
Sure, I'm giving.
00:25:23.99\00:25:25.72
I have a feeling you've
done this time or two before?
00:25:25.75\00:25:28.36
I hope so.
00:25:28.39\00:25:29.72
All right. Nice.
00:25:34.46\00:25:36.43
So you just pour
directly into the blender.
00:25:36.46\00:25:41.37
Okay, put the top one.
00:25:41.40\00:25:42.84
All right.
00:25:59.19\00:26:00.52
So we have the squash soup.
00:26:00.56\00:26:02.52
And we can actually
00:26:02.56\00:26:03.93
put a little bit of
pink Himalayan salt,
00:26:03.96\00:26:06.43
if you like to add a
little extra flavor into it.
00:26:06.46\00:26:09.80
Mm-hmm.
00:26:09.83\00:26:11.17
Nice.
00:26:14.07\00:26:15.40
Yeah, I like a
little salt, not too much.
00:26:15.44\00:26:17.97
Of course, we
don't want hypertension.
00:26:18.01\00:26:19.71
Exactly, just a
little bit of accent.
00:26:19.74\00:26:22.24
That's all.
Yeah, little balance.
00:26:22.28\00:26:23.61
That's right.
00:26:23.65\00:26:25.58
And it's, and it's done.
00:26:25.61\00:26:27.08
The only thing you can
do at the end if you want,
00:26:27.12\00:26:28.95
you can also top it with sage.
00:26:28.98\00:26:31.62
You can add
coconut milk in there
00:26:31.65\00:26:33.02
to get it more like
a rich creamier thing,
00:26:33.05\00:26:34.96
so you can add the coconut milk
00:26:34.99\00:26:36.36
and the sage and we're done.
00:26:36.39\00:26:39.29
Nice. Well
what's our next recipe?
00:26:39.33\00:26:41.13
So our next recipe
is the turkey pot pie.
00:26:41.16\00:26:44.67
It is a cauliflower based soup
that we're starting off with,
00:26:44.70\00:26:48.00
and that calls for:
00:26:48.04\00:26:49.37
This recipe, I'm
a little intimidated
00:27:30.35\00:27:32.95
by all the
ingredients we have here.
00:27:32.98\00:27:34.78
So I need you to tell,
tell me how to get started.
00:27:34.82\00:27:37.65
Okay, so these
are good questions.
00:27:37.69\00:27:40.62
This is, I will say a little...
00:27:40.66\00:27:43.96
It's a two part recipe.
00:27:43.99\00:27:45.96
So what we're going to
do first is make the liquid
00:27:45.99\00:27:51.10
that's going to be
inside of the recipe.
00:27:51.13\00:27:53.40
So we're going to start
off with some cauliflower,
00:27:53.44\00:27:56.71
which is excellent because
it's a cruciferous vegetable.
00:27:56.74\00:28:00.41
And it has
preventative properties.
00:28:00.44\00:28:03.11
Some studies have shown
00:28:03.14\00:28:04.48
that it can help
with cancer prevention.
00:28:04.51\00:28:07.55
So cruciferous vegetables
00:28:07.58\00:28:09.05
are really, really great to add.
00:28:09.08\00:28:10.45
So we're going
to start with that.
00:28:10.49\00:28:12.29
But before we do that,
we're going to first sauté
00:28:12.32\00:28:15.82
with a little bit of water.
00:28:15.86\00:28:17.56
You can pour that in there.
00:28:17.59\00:28:21.50
All right.
00:28:21.53\00:28:22.86
And we're going to
put the half of the onion.
00:28:22.90\00:28:25.10
Half of the onion?
00:28:25.13\00:28:26.47
Yep, half onion, chopped.
00:28:26.50\00:28:30.67
Get my trusty spatula.
00:28:30.71\00:28:32.61
There you go.
00:28:32.64\00:28:35.48
You can put it all in.
00:28:35.51\00:28:36.85
I'm sorry, that is a half onion.
00:28:36.88\00:28:38.28
Oh, got you. I was like...
00:28:38.31\00:28:39.65
My miscommunication, no problem.
00:28:39.68\00:28:41.02
Yeah, I was about to
pour half of this in there.
00:28:41.05\00:28:43.15
I didn't want to
overdo it. No problem.
00:28:43.18\00:28:45.55
So we got half an onion chopped.
00:28:45.59\00:28:48.02
And then we're going to add...
00:28:48.06\00:28:51.33
We're going to
add the cauliflower
00:28:51.36\00:28:53.43
which is really great, has,
00:28:53.46\00:28:55.53
it's a cruciferous
vegetable and it...
00:28:55.56\00:28:58.00
Some studies have
shown, like we're saying before
00:28:58.03\00:29:00.34
that it can really be
beneficial for your health.
00:29:00.37\00:29:02.94
Gonna pour that in
there, stir that around.
00:29:02.97\00:29:06.41
Now, do you like bland food?
00:29:06.44\00:29:08.68
Yeah, like bland food?
00:29:08.71\00:29:10.31
No. Like not tasty.
00:29:10.35\00:29:11.68
Me either.
00:29:11.71\00:29:13.05
So that's why we're going to add
00:29:13.08\00:29:14.42
one of our
superstar ingredients,
00:29:14.45\00:29:15.78
the vegetable broth,
00:29:15.82\00:29:17.15
low sodium to
give it some flavor.
00:29:17.19\00:29:19.89
So we're going to
pour this in there.
00:29:19.92\00:29:21.52
Okay.
00:29:21.56\00:29:22.89
Now, the onions are going to...
00:29:22.92\00:29:26.80
The onion and the cauliflower
are going to get that flavor.
00:29:26.83\00:29:30.20
So you're gonna let
that continue to cook.
00:29:30.23\00:29:32.37
And for the creaminess,
00:29:32.40\00:29:33.80
we're going to add some
soy milk in there as well.
00:29:33.84\00:29:35.54
Okay.
00:29:35.57\00:29:37.04
All right.
00:29:37.07\00:29:38.41
So you can go
ahead and stir that.
00:29:38.44\00:29:42.71
Nice Thanksgiving special.
00:29:42.74\00:29:44.68
Yes, I love Thanksgiving.
00:29:44.71\00:29:47.98
What is this?
This is garlic powder.
00:29:48.02\00:29:50.89
So you can go ahead and put
some garlic powder in there.
00:29:50.92\00:29:55.02
And then I like to,
just to accent the flavor,
00:29:55.06\00:29:57.83
I like Himalayan salts.
00:29:57.86\00:29:59.43
This is less processed salts
and it's essentially derived
00:29:59.46\00:30:04.63
from parts near the
Himalayan mountains,
00:30:04.67\00:30:06.84
which is a really cool accent.
00:30:06.87\00:30:09.07
I love the pink salt.
00:30:09.10\00:30:10.44
So we're gonna put this
just to accent the flavor.
00:30:10.47\00:30:12.57
So we want to be careful
that we don't put too much
00:30:12.61\00:30:14.91
but just enough
to get some flavor.
00:30:14.94\00:30:18.78
And so, like you're
saying, like Thanksgiving,
00:30:18.81\00:30:21.12
one of my favorite
things is this is comfort food.
00:30:21.15\00:30:23.75
We're making comfort food
like hot pie, this delicious.
00:30:23.79\00:30:27.26
You just want to be at
home, with family, friends
00:30:27.29\00:30:30.73
around a fire maybe,
00:30:30.76\00:30:32.69
just like that
time for fellowship.
00:30:32.73\00:30:34.80
So this is one of
my favorite dishes
00:30:34.83\00:30:37.37
that I'm going to
make for Thanksgiving.
00:30:37.40\00:30:39.70
So this is great. All right.
00:30:39.73\00:30:41.67
Okay, so we're
letting this simmer.
00:30:41.70\00:30:43.41
You can kick up the
heat to medium high,
00:30:43.44\00:30:46.34
if not high all the way.
00:30:46.37\00:30:47.71
Okay. I'll take that for you.
00:30:47.74\00:30:49.88
And then we're going to start
on our next part of the recipe.
00:30:49.91\00:30:55.15
All right, so now what do we do?
00:30:55.18\00:30:57.55
So now, I'm going
to chop up some onions.
00:30:57.59\00:31:01.12
Okay.
00:31:01.16\00:31:02.49
And this is gonna be
the base for the pie.
00:31:02.52\00:31:05.33
I love onions, I love garlic.
00:31:09.33\00:31:13.03
Yeah.
00:31:13.07\00:31:14.40
It really adds flavor to
whatever dish you're making.
00:31:14.44\00:31:17.31
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:31:17.34\00:31:19.21
And one of the things
00:31:19.24\00:31:20.58
that I like with using
all these different veggies.
00:31:20.61\00:31:22.14
Oops, sorry, I lost a few.
00:31:22.18\00:31:24.35
The thing that I
like with making,
00:31:24.38\00:31:26.01
more cooking with these veggies.
00:31:26.05\00:31:27.38
You know, studies have shown
that when it comes to like,
00:31:27.42\00:31:30.29
disease and
different things like that,
00:31:30.32\00:31:32.25
70% of chronic diseases
are caused by lifestyle.
00:31:32.29\00:31:37.49
So I mean, you know,
oftentimes we're like,
00:31:37.53\00:31:39.69
oh, it's just food,
00:31:39.73\00:31:41.06
but our food
can really impact us
00:31:41.10\00:31:43.57
either right
away or down the line.
00:31:43.60\00:31:45.83
So that's why I
like to always say,
00:31:45.87\00:31:47.20
it's about a journey.
00:31:47.24\00:31:48.57
So this cooking is not solely
just like for flavor and taste.
00:31:48.60\00:31:52.51
This can really
help us to live longer,
00:31:52.54\00:31:55.38
healthier, happier lives.
00:31:55.41\00:31:58.15
So let me cut this out.
00:31:58.18\00:31:59.91
But flavor does help though.
00:31:59.95\00:32:01.28
Flavor does
help. Flavor does help.
00:32:01.32\00:32:02.65
It does help.
00:32:02.68\00:32:05.75
That's important.
00:32:05.79\00:32:07.12
Yeah, I know when I
first tried plant based food,
00:32:07.16\00:32:09.52
I was like, you know,
I, and flavor is really,
00:32:09.56\00:32:11.26
really important to me too.
00:32:11.29\00:32:12.83
So it's
important to season well.
00:32:12.86\00:32:15.53
Absolutely.
00:32:15.56\00:32:16.90
And with all the
recipes that we have, you know,
00:32:16.93\00:32:18.40
as you taste it,
you know, you might say,
00:32:18.43\00:32:19.90
"Hey, I would like to add
a little more garlic to it."
00:32:19.93\00:32:21.50
Go ahead.
00:32:21.54\00:32:22.87
You know, this is very flexible.
00:32:22.90\00:32:24.24
It's a good base.
00:32:24.27\00:32:25.61
Now, should I
stir this a little bit?
00:32:25.64\00:32:26.98
You can stir a
little bit. There you go.
00:32:27.01\00:32:28.74
That sounds good.
00:32:28.78\00:32:31.71
Let me take this away.
00:32:31.75\00:32:35.08
Right.
00:32:35.12\00:32:38.09
Like garlic going there.
00:32:38.12\00:32:40.19
So you like this
for Thanksgiving.
00:32:40.22\00:32:43.49
You can make this
anytime too, really, yeah.
00:32:43.53\00:32:45.76
It's a good
comfort food. Absolutely.
00:32:45.79\00:32:48.76
And so now
you've got that going.
00:32:48.80\00:32:50.30
We're going to go ahead
and start with our next pan
00:32:50.33\00:32:52.10
while that is cooking.
00:32:52.13\00:32:53.47
Okay, I'll turn that on.
00:32:53.50\00:32:55.04
All right.
00:32:55.07\00:32:56.64
You want it on high or medium?
00:32:56.67\00:32:58.71
High.
00:32:58.74\00:33:00.08
You can do high for now. Okay.
00:33:00.11\00:33:01.44
Heat the pan up.
00:33:01.48\00:33:02.84
And we're going to
first start it with our base.
00:33:02.88\00:33:05.45
So we cook, we're
cooking with water.
00:33:05.48\00:33:07.98
Okay. So we'll pour this in.
00:33:08.02\00:33:12.49
And then,
00:33:12.52\00:33:13.86
we'll also add
the chopped onions.
00:33:13.89\00:33:17.93
All right.
00:33:17.96\00:33:21.90
So we got the chopped onions.
00:33:21.93\00:33:24.60
Oh, what's that?
00:33:24.63\00:33:25.97
These are potatoes. Okay.
00:33:26.00\00:33:27.57
I'm really excited about this.
00:33:27.60\00:33:28.94
We've got the
garlic, the superstar.
00:33:28.97\00:33:31.67
Okay.
00:33:31.71\00:33:33.17
Lot of medicinal properties
and it's very flavorful.
00:33:33.21\00:33:37.55
Okay, so we've got that
00:33:37.58\00:33:39.81
and then we'll also put
some vegetable broth in there.
00:33:39.85\00:33:42.18
This is another
good way of seasoning.
00:33:42.22\00:33:45.35
Season it up for a minute. Yep.
00:33:45.39\00:33:47.59
You can also put that
at the end if you want to,
00:33:47.62\00:33:49.66
you know, make it
less or more liquid.
00:33:49.69\00:33:54.80
If you want to make
the sauce more fluid,
00:33:54.83\00:33:57.37
you can add more of that
00:33:57.40\00:33:58.73
or less of
that, it just depends.
00:33:58.77\00:34:00.17
If you want it thick,
00:34:00.20\00:34:01.54
then we're going
to add our potatoes,
00:34:01.57\00:34:03.20
our frozen
chopped potatoes in there.
00:34:03.24\00:34:05.34
Okay.
00:34:05.37\00:34:06.98
All right.
00:34:07.01\00:34:08.34
And then, you'll go
ahead and stir that.
00:34:08.38\00:34:10.15
Let that simmer and cook down.
00:34:10.18\00:34:12.71
And then you'll
also add some veggies.
00:34:12.75\00:34:15.32
Some mixed veggies here.
00:34:15.35\00:34:16.69
Mixed veggies,
frozen mixed veggies.
00:34:16.72\00:34:19.39
All right.
00:34:19.42\00:34:20.99
And if I can have
your cutting board
00:34:21.02\00:34:22.46
so you can go ahead and
continuing to stir that.
00:34:22.49\00:34:24.59
I'm going to work on
00:34:24.63\00:34:26.86
the veggie meat
that we're adding.
00:34:26.90\00:34:28.23
So when you
think of Thanksgiving,
00:34:28.26\00:34:30.50
what do you think of?
00:34:30.53\00:34:31.87
What's really popular?
00:34:31.90\00:34:33.27
Honestly, the first
thing I think of is food.
00:34:33.30\00:34:35.17
Okay, food, okay.
00:34:35.20\00:34:36.54
That's the first
thing I think of is food.
00:34:36.57\00:34:37.91
Okay. What am I going to eat?
00:34:37.94\00:34:39.27
Yes.
00:34:39.31\00:34:40.64
You know, what
family is coming over?
00:34:40.68\00:34:42.68
First thing I
think about is food.
00:34:42.71\00:34:45.88
And then, I started
thinking about family
00:34:45.91\00:34:49.08
and the get
together and the camaraderie,
00:34:49.12\00:34:52.25
and just time like I remember
when I was a little kid.
00:34:52.29\00:34:57.26
We would always go to my great
grandma's house in New York.
00:34:57.29\00:35:00.53
Rosalie Jones,
00:35:00.56\00:35:02.03
we would go to her
place in New York, in Queens,
00:35:02.06\00:35:06.74
and we would all eat.
00:35:06.77\00:35:09.44
And then the guys would
go watch the game together
00:35:09.47\00:35:12.17
and the ladies did
whatever the ladies did.
00:35:12.21\00:35:16.34
But we all, you know,
got to hang out together.
00:35:16.38\00:35:20.12
That was a
beautiful thing, you know.
00:35:20.15\00:35:21.52
And then, also with Thanksgiving
00:35:21.55\00:35:23.45
comes thinking
about the less fortunate,
00:35:23.49\00:35:25.55
you know, how
can we help them out
00:35:25.59\00:35:27.59
so sometimes it might be
going to a homeless shelter
00:35:27.62\00:35:30.19
and feeding, feeding people
or whatever the case may be,
00:35:30.23\00:35:33.29
but Thanksgiving, is,
00:35:33.33\00:35:35.40
it's always a happy time for me.
00:35:35.43\00:35:36.77
Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:36.80\00:35:38.13
One of the things,
along with Thanksgiving,
00:35:38.17\00:35:40.64
like you're saying, I
think about is turkey.
00:35:40.67\00:35:43.57
A lot of veggie meat,
you know, you can have,
00:35:43.61\00:35:47.41
you can, for this
recipe you can put
00:35:47.44\00:35:48.81
all different types
of veggie meat in it.
00:35:48.84\00:35:50.88
And this one, we're
adding turkey to it.
00:35:50.91\00:35:53.58
And so, you can get
a vegan, vegan turkey
00:35:53.62\00:35:57.15
in your frozen section.
00:35:57.19\00:35:59.02
And what I love about
is when you cut it down.
00:35:59.05\00:36:02.42
See the consistency of that?
00:36:02.46\00:36:03.96
Yeah.
00:36:03.99\00:36:05.33
It's just so nice.
00:36:05.36\00:36:06.70
You just cut it straight down.
00:36:06.73\00:36:08.06
And then we're going to
chop it and put into our recipe.
00:36:08.10\00:36:09.43
Is it testable
at this point or...
00:36:09.46\00:36:11.00
Yeah, you can sample it. Yep.
00:36:11.03\00:36:13.34
It's not gonna kill me.
00:36:13.37\00:36:14.70
No, it's not. Okay.
00:36:14.74\00:36:16.07
You can go ahead and try that.
00:36:16.10\00:36:18.87
How's it?
00:36:18.91\00:36:20.68
It's pretty good?
That's actually pretty good.
00:36:20.71\00:36:22.28
Okay, nice.
00:36:22.31\00:36:24.05
I'm glad that
you like it. Mm-hmm.
00:36:24.08\00:36:26.01
So you can go
ahead and chop this up,
00:36:26.05\00:36:28.98
and we're going to
add it into our mixture.
00:36:29.02\00:36:33.39
Okay.
00:36:33.42\00:36:34.76
I'm just going
back and forth here.
00:36:34.79\00:36:36.39
Yep. And so...
00:36:36.42\00:36:37.76
I want to turn this down?
00:36:37.79\00:36:39.36
Nope, that's good. So what...
00:36:39.39\00:36:40.90
The point of this is to
tenderized the cauliflower.
00:36:40.93\00:36:43.87
And once that's tenderized,
00:36:43.90\00:36:45.23
we're going to
put it in the blender.
00:36:45.27\00:36:46.84
Okay. You know
put it in for a sauce.
00:36:46.87\00:36:48.44
So that's just tenderizing
right now, cooking down.
00:36:48.47\00:36:51.67
And then we're sautéing
the veggies and the potatoes,
00:36:51.71\00:36:54.18
so make sure we
get all the nutrients.
00:36:54.21\00:36:56.11
You see all the
different colors right here?
00:36:56.14\00:36:57.61
I do. I do.
00:36:57.65\00:36:58.98
I love that
because that just shows you
00:36:59.01\00:37:00.42
all the different
types of nutrients
00:37:00.45\00:37:02.32
that you're getting.
00:37:02.35\00:37:03.69
You have your beta
carotene and your carrots,
00:37:03.72\00:37:06.25
look at all the leafy greens
00:37:06.29\00:37:08.39
or enjoy the
green beans in there.
00:37:08.42\00:37:11.49
Chlorophyll.
It's just excellent.
00:37:11.53\00:37:13.40
It's really, really great
00:37:13.43\00:37:14.76
to see all those
things coming together.
00:37:14.80\00:37:16.60
And potatoes are non-fat.
00:37:16.63\00:37:18.70
So sometimes people
go on, on non-fat diet.
00:37:18.73\00:37:21.50
Potatoes are
actually a good thing.
00:37:21.54\00:37:23.10
The thing that becomes bad
00:37:23.14\00:37:24.81
is when you add like the
butter and stuff like that.
00:37:24.84\00:37:27.18
So right now with the potatoes,
00:37:27.21\00:37:30.01
that is nothing,
you know, it's not fat.
00:37:30.05\00:37:33.18
And as you're sautéing this,
00:37:33.21\00:37:34.55
if you realize you'd
like to add additional liquid,
00:37:34.58\00:37:36.55
or if you'd like to use
00:37:36.58\00:37:37.92
a little extra virgin olive oil,
00:37:37.95\00:37:39.29
you can do that, you
just keep sautéing that.
00:37:39.32\00:37:40.99
Nice. Okay.
00:37:41.02\00:37:42.69
So you've got that going.
00:37:42.72\00:37:44.06
Now, I'm going to
add the veggie meat in.
00:37:44.09\00:37:48.23
And then also you're
talking about flavor.
00:37:48.26\00:37:50.60
That's like one of
your favorite things.
00:37:50.63\00:37:51.97
Yes, you gotta have some
flavor and your behavior.
00:37:52.00\00:37:53.64
I love it. We
gotta get some flavor.
00:37:53.67\00:37:55.54
I completely agree with you.
00:37:55.57\00:37:57.07
Now, can you smell this
00:37:57.11\00:37:58.44
and tell me what
you think this is?
00:37:58.47\00:38:00.54
I think it's liquid aminos.
00:38:00.58\00:38:02.51
I think you might
have a great nose.
00:38:02.54\00:38:04.51
I think. I think I love food.
00:38:04.55\00:38:07.22
This, yeah, this liquid
aminos is really awesome to me
00:38:07.25\00:38:11.49
because our body
00:38:11.52\00:38:14.86
basically makes 11 amino acids.
00:38:14.89\00:38:19.09
And amino acids are
the things that comprise,
00:38:19.13\00:38:21.93
that are inside of a protein.
00:38:21.96\00:38:23.87
So you need to get the
rest of the amino acids
00:38:23.90\00:38:26.97
from the food that you eat.
00:38:27.00\00:38:28.34
So they call it the
essential amino acids.
00:38:28.37\00:38:31.21
So this is one of them,
00:38:31.24\00:38:32.57
so that you can
actually get this and add it,
00:38:32.61\00:38:34.44
it has protein in it
and it really helps us
00:38:34.48\00:38:36.58
to get that full,
00:38:36.61\00:38:39.55
all the different
nutrients that we need.
00:38:39.58\00:38:41.28
And beyond the health benefit,
00:38:41.32\00:38:44.22
it's less sodium than soy sauce,
00:38:44.25\00:38:46.99
and it will give
you a lot of flavor.
00:38:47.02\00:38:48.46
Nice. So we're
going to add this.
00:38:48.49\00:38:49.82
You can turn the
heat on a little bit.
00:38:49.86\00:38:51.23
All right.
00:38:51.26\00:38:52.76
And if you decide, hey,
00:38:52.79\00:38:54.13
I would like to
add a little bit more,
00:38:54.16\00:38:55.50
you can go and do that.
00:38:55.53\00:38:56.87
Just make sure
you're careful in tasting
00:38:56.90\00:38:58.23
along the way if
you add additional.
00:38:58.27\00:39:00.87
But don't put the
same spoon back in
00:39:00.90\00:39:02.94
because we don't
like that at our house.
00:39:02.97\00:39:04.87
Sharing is not sharing...
00:39:04.91\00:39:06.68
Sharing, right, carrying...?
00:39:06.71\00:39:09.11
Sharing is not
carrying one of your germs.
00:39:09.14\00:39:11.18
There you go. That's right.
00:39:11.21\00:39:12.55
We don't want
that. That's right.
00:39:12.58\00:39:14.08
All right.
00:39:14.12\00:39:15.45
So we're gonna
put this in there.
00:39:15.48\00:39:17.12
You can keep
stirring that together.
00:39:17.15\00:39:19.72
Great. Beautiful.
00:39:19.75\00:39:22.62
So now, we're going to
add some Himalayan salts.
00:39:22.66\00:39:26.73
And we'll do this
to accent the flavors.
00:39:26.76\00:39:31.47
Nice.
00:39:31.50\00:39:33.17
All right. Okay.
00:39:33.20\00:39:35.87
There's that, you can
go ahead and mix that in.
00:39:35.90\00:39:37.97
Now to with the
dish, if you noticed
00:39:38.01\00:39:40.71
while you're
cooking your dish like,
00:39:40.74\00:39:42.08
hey, I'm losing some
liquid as we were doing and,
00:39:42.11\00:39:44.88
you know, talking,
having a good time.
00:39:44.91\00:39:46.61
And as we, we can add
a little bit more liquid.
00:39:46.65\00:39:48.58
So, Jason, if you don't mind,
00:39:48.62\00:39:50.35
can you get some soy
milk from the refrigerator?
00:39:50.39\00:39:52.65
I sure will. Okay, cool.
00:39:52.69\00:39:54.02
You gonna
switch with me on that.
00:39:54.06\00:39:55.39
Absolutely. Go ahead
and switch with that.
00:39:55.42\00:39:58.39
So if you notice, hey, I'm
losing a little bit liquid,
00:39:58.43\00:40:01.30
you can reduce your heat,
00:40:01.33\00:40:02.66
you can add a
little bit more back in
00:40:02.70\00:40:04.03
if you've lost
some along the way.
00:40:04.07\00:40:05.87
So we're going to
add some in there.
00:40:05.90\00:40:09.10
Perfect. That's good.
00:40:09.14\00:40:11.01
All right.
00:40:11.04\00:40:12.97
So now this is done.
00:40:13.01\00:40:14.54
We're going to put
this in our blender now.
00:40:14.58\00:40:16.38
Okay. And this
gives us a great base.
00:40:16.41\00:40:19.85
Oh, it's here.
Give some oven mitts.
00:40:19.88\00:40:21.98
Awesome. Yeah.
00:40:22.02\00:40:23.35
Can you help me?
00:40:23.39\00:40:24.72
Can you hold this? I sure can.
00:40:24.75\00:40:26.09
And I will...
00:40:26.12\00:40:27.46
Let me pour this in. Okay.
00:40:27.49\00:40:29.72
Teamwork makes the dream work.
00:40:29.76\00:40:31.29
Yes, it does. All right.
00:40:31.33\00:40:33.16
Precision is key
when it comes to this.
00:40:42.00\00:40:44.04
That's right, because you
definitely don't want to spill.
00:40:44.07\00:40:48.94
And the great thing about
this is the one and done soup.
00:40:48.98\00:40:51.65
You can put all
your ingredients in
00:40:51.68\00:40:54.22
and get it done.
00:40:54.25\00:40:55.85
So, all right, so now
we've got our ingredients
00:40:55.88\00:40:58.22
inside our blender,
00:40:58.25\00:40:59.59
we're going to
put our top on there
00:40:59.62\00:41:01.59
and fire it up.
00:41:01.62\00:41:02.96
And guess what? What?
00:41:11.73\00:41:13.07
We're done. Oh, wow.
00:41:13.10\00:41:14.44
We're absolutely done.
00:41:14.47\00:41:15.80
So now, we're gonna go ahead
and we're going to add this,
00:41:15.84\00:41:19.14
and this is going
to be the cream filling
00:41:19.17\00:41:21.21
for the pot pie.
00:41:21.24\00:41:22.58
So just going to add this in.
00:41:22.61\00:41:25.18
And stir that around?
00:41:25.21\00:41:26.55
And stir that around.
00:41:26.58\00:41:28.38
Okay. There you go.
00:41:28.42\00:41:29.75
And while you're doing that,
I'm going to get out our crust,
00:41:33.79\00:41:36.12
so you can get your a puff crust
00:41:36.16\00:41:39.19
at your local store.
00:41:39.23\00:41:40.56
You can get a vegan
puff cross or vegan crust,
00:41:40.60\00:41:44.60
and you'll just add
this to top off the recipe.
00:41:44.63\00:41:48.47
Okay.
00:41:48.50\00:41:51.04
Yeah, at first this
was a little intimidating,
00:41:51.07\00:41:53.17
but you know what?
00:41:53.21\00:41:54.54
After making it and all of that,
00:41:54.58\00:41:56.98
it's not that bad, and I'm
sure it's going to be delicious.
00:41:57.01\00:42:00.98
All right. Our turkey
is good. That means what?
00:42:01.02\00:42:02.58
You are a good, good critique.
00:42:02.62\00:42:04.69
So that means a lot, so.
00:42:04.72\00:42:06.42
So does this look
like a pot pie to you?
00:42:06.45\00:42:08.22
It does.
00:42:08.26\00:42:09.59
It definitely has that,
00:42:09.62\00:42:10.96
takes on that pot
pie filling consistency.
00:42:10.99\00:42:13.09
All right.
00:42:13.13\00:42:14.46
So if you want to create,
00:42:14.50\00:42:15.83
if you don't want it that thick,
00:42:15.86\00:42:17.20
you can also add more
vegetable broth at this stage.
00:42:17.23\00:42:19.20
So this is optional,
you know, you can adjust it.
00:42:19.23\00:42:21.47
So we're going to
pour this in here.
00:42:21.50\00:42:22.97
Okay.
00:42:23.00\00:42:24.44
And actually, I
can probably spoon it
00:42:24.47\00:42:26.74
because that's a big pain.
00:42:26.78\00:42:28.11
Yeah, that is.
00:42:28.14\00:42:29.48
So spoon this in here.
00:42:29.51\00:42:30.85
This is probably like
one of the biggest pans
00:42:30.88\00:42:32.25
I've ever seen.
00:42:32.28\00:42:34.25
World's greatest pan ever.
00:42:34.28\00:42:35.98
That's right.
00:42:36.02\00:42:37.35
So this is like a good
main dish and this will...
00:42:37.39\00:42:41.22
Every other thing
that you put around
00:42:41.26\00:42:43.19
can get to your sides.
00:42:43.22\00:42:44.56
And I like this, it's
kind of an easy one pot wonder.
00:42:44.59\00:42:48.80
After you get pea sauce
done, so there we have that.
00:42:48.83\00:42:53.47
All right. All right.
00:42:53.50\00:42:54.84
So, now, if you
can look right here,
00:42:54.87\00:42:56.44
this is what the
filling will look like.
00:42:56.47\00:42:59.11
You can actually add more liquid
00:42:59.14\00:43:00.54
to make it more creamy,
00:43:00.58\00:43:01.91
or to make it have
more liquid inside,
00:43:01.94\00:43:05.11
and then we're going to
top it with our crust...
00:43:05.15\00:43:07.25
Nice. Just like so.
00:43:07.28\00:43:09.55
And then we just
pop that in the oven?
00:43:09.58\00:43:10.92
Then we pop that in the oven.
00:43:10.95\00:43:12.29
You can put some slits in it.
00:43:12.32\00:43:13.66
Sometimes I like to put
some slits in the middle.
00:43:13.69\00:43:16.39
Now what does that do?
00:43:16.42\00:43:18.03
It allows the dish to breathe
00:43:18.06\00:43:20.00
and allows
everything to evenly distribute.
00:43:20.03\00:43:22.86
And it's also, mainly for me,
00:43:22.90\00:43:24.40
it's just
aesthetically pleasing.
00:43:24.43\00:43:25.77
I like that. Yeah.
00:43:25.80\00:43:27.24
All right.
00:43:27.27\00:43:29.00
All right.
00:43:29.04\00:43:32.84
What's our next recipe?
00:43:32.87\00:43:34.38
Our next recipe is asparagus.
00:43:34.41\00:43:37.01
For this recipe you'll need:
00:43:37.05\00:43:38.45
All right That sounds
like, it's gonna be flavorful.
00:43:57.03\00:44:00.07
Very flavorful, and
it's quick and simple.
00:44:00.10\00:44:03.00
So what I like about asparagus,
this is like so nutrient dense.
00:44:03.04\00:44:08.51
It actually is one
of the top 20 foods
00:44:08.54\00:44:12.95
on a specific
index that measures
00:44:12.98\00:44:15.25
how much nutrients
are in, it's the ANDI.
00:44:15.28\00:44:18.25
And it's the
aggregate nutrient dense index,
00:44:18.29\00:44:21.89
and this is one of the top
20 vegetables that are on it.
00:44:21.92\00:44:25.53
So asparagus is really powerful.
00:44:25.56\00:44:27.43
It has protein in it.
00:44:27.46\00:44:29.23
It also has fiber,
00:44:29.26\00:44:30.80
which is really
great for weight loss
00:44:30.83\00:44:32.57
and just keeping us balanced.
00:44:32.60\00:44:34.37
So let's, enough
talking about the health things.
00:44:34.40\00:44:37.01
Let's get to
cooking, okay. All right.
00:44:37.04\00:44:38.67
So we've got the skillet. Okay.
00:44:38.71\00:44:40.04
And we start cooking with water.
00:44:40.08\00:44:41.44
So if you can turn that on,
you can put that on a medium,
00:44:41.48\00:44:44.05
medium high.
00:44:44.08\00:44:45.68
So get that going.
00:44:45.71\00:44:47.05
You'll put some water in there
and so we're cooking with water
00:44:47.08\00:44:49.35
so that we can reduce, you know,
00:44:49.38\00:44:51.55
the different fats that
are added into the dish.
00:44:51.59\00:44:54.02
So we have the water going.
00:44:54.06\00:44:55.69
And now we're going
to put in some garlic,
00:44:55.72\00:44:58.16
some minced garlic.
00:44:58.19\00:44:59.53
You could also use powder,
I like to use minced garlic.
00:44:59.56\00:45:02.46
So there you go.
00:45:02.50\00:45:04.00
That's perfect.
00:45:04.03\00:45:05.50
And for the next thing,
00:45:05.53\00:45:07.20
we're going to
add the asparagus.
00:45:07.24\00:45:10.47
Okay.
00:45:10.51\00:45:11.84
And for me, like just,
00:45:11.87\00:45:13.74
like we're telling
the power plant based diet
00:45:13.78\00:45:15.74
and, you know,
maybe along the journey,
00:45:15.78\00:45:18.01
it's not something that
you need to do completely 100%.
00:45:18.05\00:45:20.52
Maybe it's something
00:45:20.55\00:45:21.88
that works well
just adding it slowly,
00:45:21.92\00:45:23.85
but on the journey of the plant
00:45:23.89\00:45:25.22
based side I just really
saw a lot of impacts of like,
00:45:25.25\00:45:28.82
noticing from energy to,
00:45:28.86\00:45:32.36
you know, just mood
effectiveness, sharpness.
00:45:32.39\00:45:36.90
There's actually a
story... Is it Daniel?
00:45:36.93\00:45:39.17
Yes, there is a
really good story, Daniel.
00:45:39.20\00:45:42.00
So Daniel, he went on this fast.
00:45:42.04\00:45:46.34
And for multitude of reasons,
00:45:46.37\00:45:48.94
and when he went on this fast
00:45:48.98\00:45:52.01
and he went plant based,
00:45:52.05\00:45:54.35
you know, they actually found
00:45:54.38\00:45:55.82
that he was 10 times
wiser than all of his companions
00:45:55.85\00:46:00.09
within a short period of time.
00:46:00.12\00:46:01.46
So just, you know, I
like to listen to that story.
00:46:01.49\00:46:04.39
You can actually see it
or listen to it on YouTube
00:46:04.43\00:46:08.60
or you can go
directly to your Bible.
00:46:08.63\00:46:10.50
Daniel has a great, it's
called the Daniel's Fast.
00:46:10.53\00:46:13.90
And just learning
the story and the history
00:46:13.94\00:46:16.34
behind is really great.
00:46:16.37\00:46:17.71
We were actually
covering Daniel on Salvation,
00:46:17.74\00:46:21.28
Symbols and Signs.
00:46:21.31\00:46:22.64
So people will be able to
watch it on there as well.
00:46:22.68\00:46:24.85
Okay, very nice.
Yeah, absolutely.
00:46:24.88\00:46:26.95
Here, why don't you switch...
00:46:26.98\00:46:28.32
You want to switch sides simply?
00:46:28.35\00:46:29.68
Sure. That sounds good. Okay.
00:46:29.72\00:46:31.05
So I'll take this
asparagus in here.
00:46:31.09\00:46:35.46
Genesis 1:29 always reminds me,
00:46:35.49\00:46:37.89
you know, God gave
us all herb bearing seed
00:46:37.93\00:46:42.23
at all the trees
for us to be as meat
00:46:42.26\00:46:45.53
and food and substance.
00:46:45.57\00:46:46.94
So I really enjoy, you
know, that original diet.
00:46:46.97\00:46:51.67
Yeah.
00:46:51.71\00:46:53.54
You notice you have
more energy and all that,
00:46:53.58\00:46:55.68
and clarity like
a clearness of mind
00:46:55.71\00:46:58.81
and all of that after
eating a plant based diet?
00:46:58.85\00:47:01.85
I do, honestly.
00:47:01.88\00:47:03.22
And one thing I
kind of think of,
00:47:03.25\00:47:05.79
it's like, do you like cars?
00:47:05.82\00:47:07.16
I do.
00:47:07.19\00:47:08.52
I think of it like
we're a car, right?
00:47:08.56\00:47:11.09
Since like when you
have like a really nice car,
00:47:11.13\00:47:14.20
like what do you do?
00:47:14.23\00:47:16.16
Like, let's say if
your car took premium oil.
00:47:16.20\00:47:18.87
So like what I'm doing
as we're talking about this,
00:47:18.90\00:47:20.70
I'm just sautéing the asparagus
00:47:20.74\00:47:23.07
in the water, in
the minced garlic.
00:47:23.10\00:47:24.81
Yeah.
00:47:24.84\00:47:26.17
And then just allowing it,
00:47:26.21\00:47:27.54
do you see the color coming out?
00:47:27.58\00:47:29.48
We're also going to add
00:47:29.51\00:47:30.85
a little bit of
nutritional yeast flakes
00:47:30.88\00:47:33.31
if you want or
chicken style seasoning.
00:47:33.35\00:47:35.45
Nutritional yeast
flake is optional.
00:47:35.48\00:47:36.95
It's not on this recipe.
00:47:36.99\00:47:38.32
If you want, you
can add that. Got you.
00:47:38.35\00:47:39.95
Here is a
chicken style seasoning.
00:47:39.99\00:47:42.02
This gives it a nice flavor,
00:47:42.06\00:47:44.03
will have also our
dried herbs in there.
00:47:44.06\00:47:49.16
All right.
00:47:49.20\00:47:50.53
But yes, so I think of
it like, do you like cars?
00:47:50.57\00:47:52.53
Yeah.
00:47:52.57\00:47:53.90
So like if
you're, if you have a car
00:47:53.94\00:47:55.30
and you're going to
put a cost of premium gas.
00:47:55.34\00:47:58.54
What would you put in it?
00:47:58.57\00:47:59.91
Premium gas.
00:47:59.94\00:48:01.28
Okay, so, and like what happens
00:48:01.31\00:48:02.64
when people don't put
premium gas in their cars?
00:48:02.68\00:48:05.11
You're polluting your engine.
00:48:05.15\00:48:06.48
Your engine gets
damaged over a period of time.
00:48:06.51\00:48:09.48
And it's just,
it's just not good.
00:48:09.52\00:48:11.02
Yeah, it's like over
a period of time, like,
00:48:11.05\00:48:12.55
we may not feel
the impact right away,
00:48:12.59\00:48:14.89
but eventually
it start showing up.
00:48:14.92\00:48:17.09
You know, like we're
saying 70% of chronic diseases
00:48:17.13\00:48:19.39
caused by lifestyle.
00:48:19.43\00:48:20.76
So if it may not
happen right now,
00:48:20.80\00:48:22.96
eventually it
catches up, unfortunately.
00:48:23.00\00:48:25.23
So this is a great news.
00:48:25.27\00:48:26.80
We can actually take
control and make some good,
00:48:26.84\00:48:30.34
good health decisions
00:48:30.37\00:48:32.14
and really take
care of our bodies
00:48:32.17\00:48:34.41
as God designed it to be.
00:48:34.44\00:48:35.78
And I'll tell you what, Nicole,
00:48:35.81\00:48:37.15
it's a lot
cheaper to do it this way
00:48:37.18\00:48:40.88
as opposed to dealing
with the effects of eating bad
00:48:40.92\00:48:45.19
later on down the line.
00:48:45.22\00:48:46.55
Hospital bills
are not cheap. Yep.
00:48:46.59\00:48:48.89
It's cheaper to
buy some asparagus.
00:48:48.92\00:48:51.56
That's true. All right.
00:48:51.59\00:48:53.70
So now I'm going
to take the lemon
00:48:53.73\00:48:56.97
and just cut it in half,
00:48:57.00\00:48:58.63
and we're going to let
that continue to cook down.
00:48:58.67\00:49:01.07
Now as you're
cooking, if you notice,
00:49:01.10\00:49:03.14
hey, there's not enough liquid,
00:49:03.17\00:49:04.94
you can add a little
bit more liquid to it.
00:49:04.97\00:49:08.41
So I'm going to add some water.
00:49:08.44\00:49:10.51
Okay, I've got some right here.
00:49:10.55\00:49:11.98
You do? Oh, perfect.
00:49:12.01\00:49:13.78
Yep.
00:49:13.82\00:49:15.15
Thank you. You're welcome.
00:49:15.18\00:49:16.52
So just add a
little bit more water.
00:49:16.55\00:49:18.05
It depends on how
crispy you want your asparagus,
00:49:18.09\00:49:20.09
so you can
continue to add water.
00:49:20.12\00:49:22.06
And then we're
going to top it off
00:49:22.09\00:49:24.09
with some lemon juice.
00:49:24.13\00:49:25.46
Nice.
00:49:25.49\00:49:27.60
And let that just continue
to cook for a little bit.
00:49:27.63\00:49:31.63
Nice. It's zesty flavor.
00:49:31.67\00:49:33.23
Yes. And it really accents it.
00:49:33.27\00:49:35.20
It gives it a nice pop.
00:49:35.24\00:49:36.57
You have your garlic
and salts, your sea salt,
00:49:36.60\00:49:39.27
if you want to you can add some.
00:49:39.31\00:49:40.71
Can you pass it to me? Yep.
00:49:40.74\00:49:42.34
Thank you very much.
00:49:42.38\00:49:43.71
We could add some
Himalayan salt to taste.
00:49:43.75\00:49:45.65
Okay. All right.
00:49:45.68\00:49:47.25
And we're literally
done with this recipe.
00:49:47.28\00:49:49.68
So once you're done,
you can put it on here.
00:49:49.72\00:49:53.09
There you go.
00:49:53.12\00:49:55.29
I feel like I'm in an operating
room with you right now.
00:49:55.32\00:49:57.43
Oh, do you?
00:49:57.46\00:49:59.86
All right. There you go.
00:49:59.89\00:50:01.23
And we can also top this off
with a little bit of herbs too.
00:50:01.26\00:50:06.74
Nice little extra flavor.
00:50:06.77\00:50:08.24
Yes. So there you go.
00:50:08.27\00:50:09.64
Those are grilled asparagus
for our Thanksgiving dinner.
00:50:09.67\00:50:12.84
Nice. What's our next recipe?
00:50:12.87\00:50:14.58
Our next recipe is a
sweet potato casserole.
00:50:14.61\00:50:18.61
For this recipe you'll need:
00:50:18.65\00:50:19.98
I love sweet potatoes
00:50:41.14\00:50:42.67
and I'm excited about this dish.
00:50:42.70\00:50:44.44
So where we going
to start with this?
00:50:44.47\00:50:46.51
Yes.
00:50:46.54\00:50:47.88
So we're going to
start our sweet potatoes.
00:50:47.91\00:50:49.98
You can take your sweet potatoes
00:50:50.01\00:50:52.18
and chop them up into chunks,
00:50:52.21\00:50:53.72
into different,
different measurements
00:50:53.75\00:50:57.19
like whatever you like
to do, chunks or cubed.
00:50:57.22\00:51:00.12
So already have
chopped up the sweet potatoes.
00:51:00.16\00:51:02.76
Okay.
00:51:02.79\00:51:04.13
And I'm going to
start layering it
00:51:04.16\00:51:05.49
into our baking dish.
00:51:05.53\00:51:07.16
Okay.
00:51:07.20\00:51:08.53
Like so.
00:51:08.56\00:51:10.73
And then,
00:51:10.77\00:51:13.03
we're going to also
make a crust from it as well.
00:51:13.07\00:51:16.04
Okay.
00:51:16.07\00:51:17.87
You know, layer it
and then make a crust.
00:51:17.91\00:51:20.41
So we gonna layer sweet potatoes
00:51:20.44\00:51:22.14
and make sure you
get that in there.
00:51:22.18\00:51:23.55
And so, you know, I
love sweet potatoes,
00:51:23.58\00:51:26.98
definitely they
have beta carotene.
00:51:27.02\00:51:28.98
They're great, especially
if someone has like diabetes
00:51:29.02\00:51:31.69
or something is far better.
00:51:31.72\00:51:34.72
It's a complex carbohydrate
so it breaks down slower.
00:51:34.76\00:51:39.23
So now what we're going
to do for the differences.
00:51:39.26\00:51:42.50
Can you get me
a spoon by chance?
00:51:42.53\00:51:43.87
Absolutely.
00:51:43.90\00:51:45.23
Okay, so we're going to
take this coconut flour.
00:51:45.27\00:51:47.47
Isn't that interesting
with the color and everything?
00:51:47.50\00:51:49.50
Yeah, I'd never guessed.
Yep. So we're going to...
00:51:49.54\00:51:51.61
Actually, this is coconut sugar.
00:51:51.64\00:51:52.97
So we're going
take the coconut sugar.
00:51:53.01\00:51:54.94
And we're going
to put, pour in here.
00:51:54.98\00:51:57.58
We'll also put our
vegan butter in there as well.
00:51:57.61\00:52:02.25
If you could get a spoon?
00:52:02.28\00:52:03.69
Another spoon,
sure. Yeah, another spoon.
00:52:03.72\00:52:05.89
Then you can put in,
sorry, this one, the flour.
00:52:05.92\00:52:09.79
Okay.
00:52:09.82\00:52:11.16
So we got the flour in here.
00:52:11.19\00:52:12.53
And you can replace
this flour with another one.
00:52:12.56\00:52:14.50
So for example, if
you would like to use,
00:52:14.53\00:52:17.23
like a garbanzo
flour or coconut flour,
00:52:17.27\00:52:20.94
you can replace that as well.
00:52:20.97\00:52:22.30
Okay, what else do
we have? All right.
00:52:22.34\00:52:24.01
So we're going to put
our cinnamon in there.
00:52:24.04\00:52:25.84
Okay.
00:52:25.87\00:52:28.01
All right.
00:52:28.04\00:52:29.44
And then we're
going to put vanilla.
00:52:29.48\00:52:31.41
Okay.
00:52:31.45\00:52:32.95
All right.
00:52:32.98\00:52:34.32
So this is all
in food processor.
00:52:34.35\00:52:35.95
Love it.
00:52:35.98\00:52:37.32
Then we're going to...
00:52:37.35\00:52:40.09
Put that on there.
00:52:40.12\00:52:41.46
Put this on.
00:52:41.49\00:52:42.82
Sometimes these food processers
are a little, little tricky.
00:52:42.86\00:52:48.10
There we go. Thank you.
00:52:48.13\00:52:49.46
All right. So I'm
gonna mix it together.
00:52:49.50\00:52:51.93
Okay.
00:52:58.41\00:52:59.74
Now, we're going
to put the raisins.
00:52:59.77\00:53:03.45
Okay. And the...
00:53:03.48\00:53:06.15
We need to...
00:53:06.18\00:53:07.52
In a minute we're going to talk
about how people can book you,
00:53:07.55\00:53:10.95
they can get
resources from your website,
00:53:10.99\00:53:13.66
all of those things, in a minute
00:53:13.69\00:53:15.32
we're going to put up
your contact information.
00:53:15.36\00:53:17.73
Because, you know,
00:53:17.76\00:53:19.09
while they're looking
at this delicious food,
00:53:19.13\00:53:22.20
they can actually book you
to give them wellness seminars
00:53:22.23\00:53:26.97
or cooking classes,
or all kinds of stuff.
00:53:27.00\00:53:30.17
They want you in
their community as well.
00:53:30.21\00:53:32.57
Yes.
00:53:32.61\00:53:33.94
So this essentially,
00:53:33.98\00:53:35.31
now you just
combine all the ingredients.
00:53:35.34\00:53:37.11
You put in your
oven and you'll bake it
00:53:37.15\00:53:39.01
and then you're completely done.
00:53:39.05\00:53:40.42
Okay, so let me put this on top.
00:53:40.45\00:53:44.02
Great.
00:53:44.05\00:53:45.45
So you mix it up.
00:53:45.49\00:53:47.42
So now all we do is
just mix everything together.
00:53:47.46\00:53:49.86
Okay. Put in the
oven and we're done.
00:53:49.89\00:53:51.59
Nice. Wonderful.
00:53:51.63\00:53:53.96
Put that in here.
00:53:54.00\00:53:55.33
All right.
00:54:00.00\00:54:01.34
So, like I said,
00:54:01.37\00:54:03.67
they can book you for
cooking classes, right?
00:54:03.71\00:54:05.54
Hmm. Wellness consulting.
00:54:05.57\00:54:07.44
Wellness
workshops. Wellness workshop.
00:54:07.48\00:54:09.88
Like to do different workshops,
attracting millennials,
00:54:09.91\00:54:13.05
how to cook quickly and fast.
00:54:13.08\00:54:16.02
So for example, easy meals,
00:54:16.05\00:54:18.12
that's one of the things
that we're doing as well,
00:54:18.15\00:54:19.49
so they can book us
for different workshops
00:54:19.52\00:54:21.52
in their local area.
00:54:21.56\00:54:22.89
We really like to
connect the organizations
00:54:22.92\00:54:25.06
with the community,
00:54:25.09\00:54:26.43
so that's a great thing
that they can do as well.
00:54:26.46\00:54:27.80

Canton, Michigan 48187.
00:55:32.46\00:55:37.60
Wow, I can't
believe this is almost over,
00:55:37.63\00:55:40.34
this food was amazing.
00:55:40.37\00:55:41.84
Let's go over
what we made today.
00:55:41.87\00:55:43.47
Okay.
00:55:43.51\00:55:44.84
So today we made a
stuffing casserole.
00:55:44.87\00:55:47.84
I really love all the
different flavors in there.
00:55:47.88\00:55:51.88
This is really quick and easy.
00:55:51.91\00:55:54.38
And our next dish we
made is a creamy squash soup.
00:55:54.42\00:55:58.75
Now, this is
something to write home about.
00:55:58.79\00:56:01.26
I love that, it's so filling,
00:56:01.29\00:56:05.59
the flavors just
combined together,
00:56:05.63\00:56:07.60
the coconut cream just
accents the squash so well.
00:56:07.63\00:56:11.77
The squash also is really
good for you nutritionally,
00:56:11.80\00:56:14.87
and this is a great thing
00:56:14.90\00:56:16.24
to start off your
Thanksgiving dinner with.
00:56:16.27\00:56:17.64
We also have our asparagus
00:56:17.67\00:56:19.37
which is accented
by our lemon juice.
00:56:19.41\00:56:21.91
Wow! Look at the
green pop on that.
00:56:21.94\00:56:24.75
You can just see
all the nutrients.
00:56:24.78\00:56:26.61
This is like a very
nutrient dense vegetable,
00:56:26.65\00:56:30.45
not only that, it's flavorful.
00:56:30.49\00:56:33.25
So I like to accent
with that lemon juice,
00:56:33.29\00:56:35.32
garlic, dried herbs.
00:56:35.36\00:56:37.83
And then we move
on to our next dish.
00:56:37.86\00:56:39.59
We have our pot pie.
00:56:39.63\00:56:43.00
And this is a
beautiful puff pastry.
00:56:43.03\00:56:45.93
You can also put a
vegan crust on that as well.
00:56:45.97\00:56:48.50
You have your creamy
vegetables in inside.
00:56:48.54\00:56:52.04
That is a good staple.
00:56:52.07\00:56:54.58
It's a good main dish.
00:56:54.61\00:56:56.08
Let me finish off our
dinner with one of my favorite,
00:56:56.11\00:57:00.95
which is our
sweet potato casserole.
00:57:00.98\00:57:04.25
There all you
have is the walnuts,
00:57:04.29\00:57:07.82
the coconut sugar,
the sweet potatoes.
00:57:07.86\00:57:11.49
We have orange juice to
really give that liquid.
00:57:11.53\00:57:14.66
We have raisins, and we
have some cinnamon in there,
00:57:14.70\00:57:18.30
big fat and that
is how you close off
00:57:18.33\00:57:21.24
your Thanksgiving dinner.
00:57:21.27\00:57:22.70
Oh, wow!
00:57:22.74\00:57:24.07
I mean, I got the
chance to taste things
00:57:24.11\00:57:26.11
and everything like that
00:57:26.14\00:57:27.48
and you're
making me hungry again.
00:57:27.51\00:57:29.08
Thanksgiving is
such a wonderful time.
00:57:29.11\00:57:30.91
I hope you enjoy your
time with your family.
00:57:30.95\00:57:33.15

these recipes with us.
00:57:33.18\00:57:35.25
