00:10 Well, welcome back and in the cooking program
00:13 but we had a nice discussion with Yvonne and Jason,
00:17 the first hour in the interview.
00:18 Yes, we did.
00:20 Altering Alzheimer's disease and a lot of information
00:22 that we gave and very educational, yes.
00:25 I think they were though as surprised I was, you know...
00:28 Oh, okay.
00:29 Because you, you like to hide stuff.
00:31 Well, that's true, yeah.
00:32 You don't want me to see everything
00:34 'cause you wanna see what my expressions gonna be
00:35 or the other people's expression and so...
00:36 That's true.
00:38 I was surprised at those telephone poles and...
00:41 The cable. The cable back and forth and...
00:43 Yeah, yeah.
00:44 That was good, honey.
00:46 Yeah, well, you know, a lot could be more said
00:48 in addition to that as well,
00:50 but as I said before,
00:51 just email us to our email address
00:53 and we can download three sheets
00:55 that will expound on what we just said
00:57 the first hour as well.
00:58 And again, don't forget to call the 800 number
01:01 Alzheimer's Disease Association,
01:04 they're ready for your call as well.
01:05 So, very good program.
01:07 Glad we can say it.
01:08 And speaking about something like that,
01:10 you know, today on this program,
01:12 we're also gonna do some stuff that's quick and fast.
01:15 Okay.
01:16 Doesn't take a lot of time, you know,
01:17 and so, I think that's kind of appropriate too.
01:20 Kind of matches up with that too
01:21 and not a long time in the kitchen.
01:23 People don't like to stay a long time in their kitchen.
01:25 Quick easy without sacrificing taste.
01:29 Now that is really good.
01:30 There you go. Okay, okay.
01:32 So, you know,
01:33 let's look at what the actual menu
01:35 today's would be
01:36 and that's sautéed spinach,
01:38 and then we're gonna do this Cuban black beans
01:42 and with Cuban black beans,
01:44 we're gonna also add to that some yellow steamed rice.
01:48 And, of course, we have to have a main entrée,
01:50 which is gonna be barbecue jack fruit.
01:53 And I know the last one is gonna be that
01:56 no bake banana pudding desert.
01:58 No bake?
02:00 Don't have to turn the oven on?
02:01 No turning the oven on.
02:02 Saving electrical bill.
02:04 Saving electrical bill and a lot of stress,
02:07 no more attention, stuff like that.
02:09 So it's all kind of good, you know what I am saying?
02:11 Okay, so now the first one is the...
02:14 We're gonna do sautéed spinach first.
02:16 A very easy and very quick recipe.
02:19 So let's look at the ingredients on this one.
02:20 Okay.
02:32 Oh, that's it. Okay, great.
02:33 Now this is a really easy one.
02:35 I know people are usually seeing spinach more in a salad.
02:39 And so lately, I've been doing a lot with the spinach
02:41 and the kale.
02:43 Actually sautéed them and Swiss chard,
02:45 sautéing them little bit also and a little bit of olive oil.
02:48 It works out really well.
02:49 And so we're gonna get started on that one,
02:51 it's very quick and easy one,
02:53 and even though it looks like a lot of spinach,
02:54 does it not?
02:56 Yet not, it's gonna fit all in that pan there?
02:58 Yes, it's all gonna fit in this pan.
02:59 Now, did this spinach come from our garden?
03:01 No, it did not come from our garden.
03:03 But you do have the garden?
03:04 I do have a garden. We do have a garden.
03:06 And in that garden, we have regular spinach.
03:08 This is the baby spinach
03:09 and the thing so amazing is that creator God
03:12 put a lot of water in all the vegetable kingdom.
03:14 And so it's gonna be amazing, because I know Ann is saying,
03:17 I know did all that spinach is not gonna do anything,
03:20 but yes, it is.
03:21 Yes, it is.
03:23 And surely it's gonna say it too.
03:24 And now we're gonna go ahead and pour in our olive oil
03:25 and get that going.
03:27 Okay and I love the olive oil with this,
03:29 it got a nice flavor.
03:31 And we're gonna go ahead and get that spatula
03:32 and move that around a little bit there.
03:35 Quick and easy meals.
03:36 Quick and easy, doesn't take a lot of time.
03:39 And I like the fact you can actually fix this
03:41 ahead of time as well,
03:42 which is also very, very good.
03:44 We're gonna start off by sautéing our onions,
03:47 and these are onion slices that we're using.
03:50 All the goodies out, all the goodies.
03:52 All the goodies out.
03:55 Yeah, heat up I guess.
03:56 It's heating up there now. Okay.
03:58 And now the thing I like about the spinach is this,
04:00 because it doesn't take a long time
04:02 for the spinach to get done.
04:03 Also, I do not want to sauté my onions.
04:06 I want the onions to actually do their thing
04:09 as they're getting their self together,
04:11 we're gonna put the spinach on top of the onion, okay.
04:13 As the onions are cooking.
04:15 As the onions are cooking at the same time.
04:16 So, I am gonna move these two out the way
04:18 'cause I know that you're excited.
04:20 Curtis, now help me put that spinach on up.
04:22 Yeah, I am excited.
04:23 I am simply pumped up.
04:25 Let me take me a few hands of it.
04:26 I'm gonna set on top
04:28 and you can keep on adding that on and come up with.
04:30 Can I just dump it in or?
04:32 No, let's just go ahead on and set it in there.
04:35 Oh, just set it, ok.
04:36 Let's just kind of set it in there.
04:38 I think the thing is so surprising, you know,
04:39 we kind of showed before.
04:41 Are you sure that it's gonna all fit in here?
04:42 Honey, this is all gonna fit into the skillet.
04:43 Yes, it is. Okay.
04:45 Yes, it is.
04:46 I guess after a while, it'll cook down and...
04:47 It cooks down.
04:49 You know, we did a show one time on cabbage.
04:50 Remember we had shredded cabbage,
04:52 skillet cabbage.
04:53 And the same thing when we are doing in the community
04:55 to nutrition and people kept saying,
04:58 we had like a bag of it
05:00 and they kept saying, "There is no way
05:02 that all that cabbage is gonna go into that skillet."
05:06 And we would just sit there
05:07 and say, is it gonna go in there?
05:08 'Cause I don't really believe so.
05:10 Big, big bag. A whole head of cabbages, yeah.
05:11 Pushed it down, pushed it down
05:13 and then before you know it,
05:14 it had already got all way down.
05:16 Now, so you put the top on
05:17 because now the condensation comes up
05:20 and brings back down into the cabbage,
05:23 but, no, that's not cabbage, you just said cabbage.
05:24 It goes back down
05:26 and actually helps to sauté(C) the actual spinach itself.
05:28 Right, so you don't need to add any water?
05:30 No water. At all?
05:31 And you can already see that happening.
05:33 You can see the actual...
05:34 The condensation already, yeah, you see it already on the top.
05:37 And I said salt to taste you know,
05:39 'cause the fact that we're always very concerned
05:41 about a high amounts of sodium.
05:42 As we do our plant based cooking
05:44 and we talk on 3ABN is cutting back
05:46 as much as possible.
05:47 So salt to taste.
05:49 Maybe a fourth to half a teaspoon of salt.
05:51 Sprinkle on to the very end and you'd be surprised
05:53 how it just makes that spinach come alive.
05:57 Now, when would you add the salt?
05:59 At the end. Oh, at the end?
06:00 At the end. So...
06:02 Why don't you add it before?
06:03 Well, because if I put it in here before,
06:05 it's actually gonna stop it
06:07 from actually sweating like it's sweating.
06:08 Salt is a preservative
06:10 and it just kind of hold things together.
06:12 So the timing is very important.
06:14 Yeah, at the end, it's gonna be the better time.
06:16 Do you think
06:17 I can learn as much as you know about cooking?
06:19 I mean, is that possible?
06:21 'Cause I've learned so much being with you all these years?
06:22 I mean...
06:24 And I sure have not known as much as I learned today
06:27 about Alzheimer's and dementia.
06:30 Oh, yes, Alzheimer's and dementia get the hand off,
06:33 okay. All right.
06:35 Yeah, release the water.
06:36 It's actually creating its own water.
06:37 On the top, yeah, I see.
06:39 Gonna move this over here to the side.
06:40 It's already down already.
06:42 It's already coming down.
06:43 And I'm gonna actually turn this down some.
06:45 Okay.
06:46 And then we're gonna just, look at that.
06:48 I mean all that spinach we had. I see now.
06:50 All that spinach that we had and the onions,
06:53 we want them to come up.
06:55 So, but they actually coming up over the top of the spinach...
06:58 Oh, I see.
07:00 To get that flavor in there.
07:01 Yeah, look at that.
07:02 It's like, now I know that actually,
07:05 you think about this recipe,
07:06 you say to yourself,
07:08 is that gonna feed just one person?
07:09 It actually is serving for four, believe it or not.
07:11 Oh, four people?
07:12 Yes. Yes.
07:14 Do you grow?
07:15 I say you, but it's your garden.
07:18 I help maintain as well.
07:20 Yes, you do. Do you?
07:22 Do we have this in the garden?
07:24 I mean, have you grown this in the garden?
07:27 Spinach, I have grown spinach in the garden.
07:29 Yes, I have. Container garden.
07:30 In a container garden. And raised garden.
07:32 Raised garden.
07:33 I've gotten into a lot of that.
07:35 And I'm telling you it is absolutely fantastic
07:38 to grow your own stuff, to see it growing.
07:42 This year, of course, the garden has three seasons.
07:46 I have a spring garden.
07:48 And then I switch and I go to the summer garden,
07:49 then from summer garden I go to the winter garden.
07:51 Now, let people know, of course,
07:53 now we live in the south.
07:54 Yes. So this is Huntsville, Alabama.
07:57 So we have three seasons.
07:58 So we really grow year round because of that.
08:02 So I think right now
08:04 we're having the cherry tomatoes,
08:06 so many tomatoes, cherry tomatoes,
08:08 I mean, we cannot even eat all the tomatoes,
08:11 I mean, just every single day.
08:12 So what I do, what I do is on Sabbath,
08:15 I get a Ziploc bag,
08:17 and I fill it up with cherry tomatoes
08:19 and I take it to church with me.
08:20 And I don't really know who I'm gonna give them to.
08:22 But somehow I'm talking to somebody in a church
08:25 and all of a sudden I say,
08:26 I've got something for you and I pull them out.
08:28 And everybody's like, I cannot believe
08:30 how these cherry tomatoes taste
08:32 compared to the ones in the market.
08:34 We went to, just yesterday,
08:36 we had a salad at a store here in Benton, Illinois,
08:42 yeah, about 15 minutes away from here.
08:44 And we had tomatoes in the salad.
08:46 And, folks, let me tell you,
08:48 we took a bite of that tomato in that salad.
08:52 And I mean,
08:54 the difference of that tomato and tomatoes
08:56 we grow in our garden.
08:57 I mean wasn't nothing to compare to.
09:00 So we never want to really buy another tomato again.
09:03 Which can go grow at your garden.
09:04 Yeah, that's right.
09:06 Well, you can see that this is actually just
09:07 about finished itself.
09:09 Yeah, looking like, yeah.
09:10 I can see it all cooked down.
09:11 It's cooked down.
09:13 And so, and the water, look at that,
09:14 the water's there.
09:15 So we're just gonna go ahead and sprinkle now.
09:17 And now you add the... Little bit of a salt.
09:18 Sea salt, yeah. Okay.
09:20 And then we're gonna put that lid back on it.
09:22 I'm gonna sit to the side
09:23 because that's just the first recipe really and truly.
09:26 Now that's just about finished now or?
09:28 That is totally finished. Oh, it's totally finished.
09:30 Totally finished, right now it's through
09:32 and you can add like I said,
09:34 you can do peppers with that
09:35 if you want to sometime.
09:37 If I do kale,
09:39 I will do red and green peppers and stuff.
09:40 The name of the game is that we eat with our eyes,
09:43 we see it and it looks attractive.
09:46 It's mouth watering, we're ready to go.
09:48 You look attractive. Thank you.
09:50 And you're mouth watering. Thank you.
09:53 You're welcome. Okay.
09:54 Kind of threw you off a little bit, didn't I?
09:56 Oh, yeah.
09:57 Because you know,
09:58 you're gonna get a phone call calling me.
10:00 I think I just got the first email already.
10:02 First email.
10:03 As I am talking, I just got the email coming up.
10:08 Because along with this,
10:11 we wanna go with our very next recipe.
10:12 Okay.
10:14 Which is Cuban black beans.
10:16 Oh, okay, let's do it, honey.
10:18 All right. All right.
10:40 Okay.
10:41 Cuban black beans. Cuban black beans.
10:42 Not just black beans, the Cuban?
10:45 And, you know, I like to kind of change things up
10:47 so that is not like, you know, black beans.
10:50 Black beans. What does that do?
10:51 Yeah, okay, What would you say?
10:52 The Cuban. Cuban by the way.
10:54 Oh, wait a minute, hold up, what's in that recipe, okay.
10:55 Yeah.
10:56 So with that one in mind,
10:58 it's got some good stuff combinations.
10:59 Now, Cuban, that's not something
11:01 that most people are familiar with
11:03 or not as much I guess.
11:05 In that, in a cooking, yeah, if you're doing black beans,
11:07 you have cumin, coriander,
11:10 these are the spices that are out there.
11:11 Right.
11:13 And the main thing in plant based eating
11:14 is just trying new spices, new seasonings,
11:17 so the things taste differently
11:21 and also, I was gonna say and were better.
11:23 I think they taste better
11:24 when you're adding the different combinations
11:26 there as well.
11:27 But quite a few people may not use Cuban
11:29 as much as often as other spices.
11:33 It's more in a Hispanic community
11:35 when you're doing that, the Cuban kind cumin.
11:37 That's a nice possess to it.
11:38 And I like it because it's very colorful.
11:40 This is a very colorful dish.
11:41 All right.
11:43 And I'm gonna go ahead on and get my skillet ready
11:46 to receive all these goodies over there,
11:49 'cause you know, we got banana peppers
11:51 and green peppers, red peppers, and...
11:54 Looks like the garlic there.
11:56 We got the garlic going on as well.
11:58 And so, we're going to just begin by adding in,
12:02 of course, our olive oil.
12:04 Okay, olive oil.
12:05 I love using olive oil as you noticed that.
12:07 I noticed that, yeah.
12:09 And you know, olive oil has a very kind of a strong flavor,
12:11 so it will add to this.
12:13 So why not so as opposed to, let's say canola oil or regular
12:16 because of the flavor, I mean.
12:17 The flavor. Okay.
12:19 The name of the game,
12:20 when you go plant based is about flavor.
12:22 You've got to have that flavor there, okay.
12:25 Not only the color, not only the texture,
12:27 but the flavor as well.
12:28 And so I like to use the cold pressed olive oil
12:30 and you know, sometimes we get people saying,
12:32 you know, these oils that you're using on this show,
12:36 you know, they are kind of volatile,
12:38 they don't, they burn easily.
12:41 Don't get yourself all worked up.
12:42 But this is not high heat though.
12:43 Never staying on long,
12:45 everything is just gonna be cooking.
12:46 I'm not really sautéing for long periods of time
12:47 and so you're gonna be fine and you'll be fine.
12:50 We're not deep frying. You'll be fine. Okay.
12:52 So I'm gonna go ahead
12:53 and start by putting banana peppers first.
12:55 Let me get my little spatula out and, of course, we will...
12:57 Now you've grown the red peppers
13:01 and green peppers in the garden?
13:02 Yes, in the garden. Container garden?
13:03 Yes, both the red and the green.
13:05 Yeah, both red and green.
13:07 That's right. Okay.
13:08 They're part of it also as well.
13:10 And...
13:11 You left a goodie in there, baby.
13:12 Oh, did I? No, I can't do that.
13:14 Yeah, just. Spotted.
13:15 Yeah, spotted.
13:17 Spot me on that, spot me on that.
13:18 Okay.
13:19 Okay, and we're gonna go ahead and put in the green pepper.
13:23 Now these beans are coming in can,
13:25 these black beans.
13:26 You can do your black beans a couple of ways
13:28 because this is a meal in a minute program.
13:30 So you can do your beans already, already in a can.
13:33 If you do not already have to cook them in your crock pot
13:36 or your slow cooker,
13:37 which sometime I just buy the 16 ounce bag of beans,
13:40 rinse them off,
13:41 and put them into a slow cooker or a crock pot,
13:44 whichever way you wanna call it,
13:46 and then cook the beans ahead of time.
13:47 In that way if you get that much,
13:49 you can actually use them for other things
13:50 other than just making this particular dish
13:52 like haystacks and burritos so on and so forth, you know.
13:56 And so, that's always gonna be good.
13:59 So these are can I'm using here,
14:00 we're talking about meals in minutes.
14:02 If you haven't had a chance to get the beans ready,
14:04 don't worry about it.
14:05 You do want to be very conscious, however,
14:07 of the amount of sodium that's in the beans.
14:09 We talked about that on the program as well,
14:11 cutting back on the amount of sodium
14:12 that we're using.
14:14 And then I'm gonna have you, Curtis,
14:15 very slowly pour in the beans.
14:18 Very slowly.
14:19 Go ahead and pour them all in there.
14:21 All right, beans going in, black beans.
14:25 Okay, yay.
14:27 Look how pretty.
14:28 Is that pretty or what?
14:30 Yeah, there you go.
14:32 All right.
14:34 That's it.
14:36 And all we're gonna do is as you can see,
14:38 and I'm gonna turn my fire down,
14:39 let me turn it down a little bit.
14:45 Okay, now all we're doing actually,
14:47 we've already sautéed the bell peppers
14:50 and the garlic.
14:51 You don't want to get them you know,
14:53 kind of tender.
14:55 Yes. But not too done.
14:56 And you can see the coloring of this.
14:58 That's very colorful.
15:00 It's just beautiful. Yes.
15:01 Okay, and it has a nice,
15:05 tempting, I call it,
15:08 look to it so that you're like oh, yeah,
15:10 okay, I definitely want me some of those black beans, okay.
15:12 We eat with our eyes and very colorful.
15:13 We eat with our eyes, yes we do.
15:15 And then for this recipe also,
15:17 I'm gonna go ahead on and sprinkle in the cumin.
15:19 That's a nice flavor into this whole dish.
15:22 It actually makes this dish come alive as well.
15:24 And then remember, we're doing sea salt to taste,
15:27 so I'm just gonna put a small amount of salt on there.
15:31 Okay, and then we're gonna just stir it up
15:33 again a little bit.
15:34 Now how long you gonna let this cook?
15:36 Usually when I'm getting rest,
15:38 we just did the sautéed Spanish,
15:40 and really and truly the beans don't take that long,
15:42 you're not gonna really, you know,
15:43 cook them for a long period time
15:44 'cause they're already done, they came from McCain itself.
15:46 So with that in mind, I would say maybe about,
15:49 maybe less than about 10 minutes,
15:50 maybe 5 to 10 minutes.
15:52 And so we're gonna put the lid on top of that one as well.
15:55 And often it's kind of getting itself together
15:56 'cause it is meals and minutes.
15:58 And so with that in mind,
15:59 we've already sautéed that spinach.
16:01 I'll ask a question, what about haystacks?
16:03 Can that go over haystack?
16:05 You know, you chip and put that over haystack.
16:06 Yes.
16:08 And people, I mean, what is a haystack?
16:09 'Cause I'm saying these terminologies
16:11 and people may not be familiar with the word haystack.
16:14 So explain that?
16:15 So Rebecca.
16:17 A haystack, it's nothing more than
16:19 some chips on the bottom of a plate
16:21 and now I like to add a rice on top of that.
16:25 Not potato chips but more...
16:27 Oh, Curtis, they. But you said chips, yeah.
16:28 Okay, okay. I'm just making sure that.
16:30 Rebecca tortilla chips.
16:32 Tortilla chips?
16:33 Hopefully, whole wheat tortilla chips
16:35 or corn tortilla chips.
16:36 Okay. Okay.
16:37 And then we'll snatch.
16:39 And then we got them on the plate.
16:40 Let me gonna put...
16:42 You did this for your master's degree, right?
16:43 Rice on, yeah, on top of that. The rice.
16:44 And we're gonna put the beans on top of that.
16:46 Are they gonna be this mixture of beans?
16:47 Yes. All right.
16:48 And then we're gonna put lettuce and tomatoes
16:50 and black olives, of course, it's Curtis' favorite,
16:53 and onions, all those things go on
16:55 and then you top it off with a salsa
16:59 and medium salsa.
17:01 And then you can put some soy sour cream on top of it.
17:03 And it is some serious...
17:05 So that's called a haystack. Haystack.
17:06 And you did that as your, what master's degree?
17:09 Yeah, one of my programs is English,
17:10 did my English in my master's program.
17:13 We had to write the paper.
17:14 Yeah, had to write the paper.
17:15 And I was trying to figure out what can I write on.
17:17 And you had to be very descriptive about each part.
17:18 So I wrote a paper called how to build a haystack.
17:22 And of course, you know, reading the paper at first
17:24 reading of it, people thought that
17:26 I was gonna actually be on a farm building
17:28 you know, haystack.
17:29 But not a girlfriend friendly.
17:31 Now, once again,
17:32 once we just actually built that all up and fixed it,
17:34 believe it or not, I got an A++ on that paper.
17:37 My teacher was so excited.
17:38 She had never seen that or heard that before.
17:40 And I think it might be your best thought about that.
17:42 I need to search that. Did you get the paper back?
17:44 Yeah, I got my paper.
17:45 Now what year was that?
17:47 Okay, say, now we're gonna go to the very next recipe.
17:50 You just ignored that last question, didn't you?
17:52 Because now you trying to, now you trying to get
17:54 all in my business and everything.
17:57 You know, I just did for the audience sake.
17:58 We're going to do our next one
18:00 which is a yellow steamed rice.
18:04 Okay, that's good.
18:06 Put the ingredients on that one.
18:21 Okay.
18:23 So this is gonna be quick and easy right here though.
18:26 It's gonna be quick and easy.
18:27 Now you got the...
18:28 And I'm really liking this one
18:30 because I said it was called a yellow rice, right?
18:34 And I know you're thinking how we're gonna do that.
18:36 No, I'm looking at something that's brown.
18:38 I know.
18:39 So one of the things I like is, you know,
18:41 'cause I love color
18:43 and we've got finished on those Cuban beans,
18:44 black beans, and so with that in mind,
18:47 we're gonna actually now do brown rice.
18:49 We're gonna turn in yellow and we're turning a yellow
18:52 by using turmeric powder, all right.
18:54 All right, that's how you do it.
18:55 So you're gonna take our lid off.
18:57 Oh yeah,
18:58 'cause the water is hot and ready to go.
19:01 Okay. Okay.
19:03 And then we're gonna go ahead on
19:04 and then just stir in the rice.
19:07 Now this is whole grain brown rice.
19:09 Is this short or long grain?
19:11 Does it really matter?
19:12 This, I like long grain brown rice when I'm cooking.
19:15 I am putting turmeric in, hold on,
19:16 let me put the turmeric in,
19:18 Now, turmeric was gonna make and turn it...
19:20 Yellow.
19:21 Yellow, okay,
19:22 so it's a good way to get it in there.
19:25 Put that over there, babe.
19:26 Okay.
19:28 And okay, now, what was your question?
19:31 Yeah, so why the short grain as supposed to a long grain?
19:35 I found that when I use, for me,
19:38 when I'm doing my cooking,
19:39 I like the long grain
19:41 because you can actually see the actual grain itself.
19:43 The long grain? Yes.
19:44 Sometimes when people are preparing brown rice,
19:46 they'll send me a message and say
19:48 why do my brown rice is all clumps up
19:50 and it takes a long time to cook
19:52 and then it's kind of thick, you can't see the kernels.
19:55 The long grain,
19:57 you can see the kernels and sometime
19:58 I say it has to do with the pot you're using.
20:01 Sometime it has to do with too much water.
20:03 Sometimes it has to do with the type of rice, okay.
20:06 And even from electric to gas,
20:10 all those have a lot to do with a lot of your cooking.
20:13 People have said to me, you know,
20:14 I wish I could bring you in my kitchen to cook
20:16 because when I fix stuff, it doesn't go the same way.
20:18 But that's not it, you really have to,
20:20 I love working in a kitchen.
20:21 Remember now, my first love is God.
20:26 And my second love is Curtis.
20:28 Oh, I'm behind right behind that.
20:30 Ah, right behind that.
20:31 And then my next love is cooking and then...
20:36 Oh, oh, let's turn this down.
20:39 Oh, that's real high.
20:40 Yeah, it's too high. Yeah.
20:41 And that we wanna see
20:43 'cause I'm just running my mouth there,
20:44 we run it down, turn it down.
20:47 So, yeah, God, Curtis and cooking.
20:49 Was that what I said?
20:50 So I said God, Curtis, and cooking?
20:52 Okay. And so...
20:55 And then it's my children.
20:58 That's children. Our children.
21:00 They are also a part of that as well, okay.
21:02 So, do you have grandchildren?
21:04 You turn that down and it's low.
21:05 And, of course, because we're doing meals in minutes,
21:08 one of the things you have to think about
21:09 the fact is on the market now you have the six minute rice,
21:12 is you have the eight minutes rice,
21:14 the 10 minute rice and then of course
21:15 you have the 100% whole grain.
21:17 All of these are whole grain rices.
21:19 But they've extracted the water from it, the liquid
21:22 so that when they say 6, 8, 10 minutes,
21:24 it means that when you add your water,
21:26 then those rices come back,
21:29 and they're the same as regular rice.
21:31 So they're already cooked in a sense.
21:35 Okay, they just extract the water from the rice.
21:38 That's why they're called parboil.
21:41 They've been kind of parboiled or whatever,
21:42 but the bottom line is that you don't have to worry about
21:45 look at and see what's going on.
21:47 They have it in bags, they have it regular
21:49 whatever way you want to do it.
21:50 It's all good. Now, what about...
21:53 We have a rice cooker, don't you?
21:55 We have a rice cooker.
21:56 Who gave you, somebody puts a rice cooker for you?
21:59 Rice cooker, okay, okay.
22:02 We're gonna move this over.
22:04 Okay. Still kind of high.
22:06 Because it's still higher than I wanted to be.
22:08 I'm gonna move it down a little bit more.
22:11 Okay.
22:14 So a rice cooker is good.
22:16 Here we go. It does its own job.
22:18 Just set the timer and does its own job.
22:20 Yes, yes, yes and back in the day
22:22 rice cookers only did white rice.
22:24 Now the rice cookers that's coming out does brown rice too.
22:26 It does brown too. And so...
22:28 It has a indication for short grain or long grain,
22:30 just with the same time?
22:32 No, all rice are the same.
22:33 It does not differentiate between long and short.
22:35 Okay. Okay.
22:36 And so that can, that's another one,
22:38 that's a nice gift to give, just a nice gift to give.
22:40 I mean back in the day,
22:41 all the gifts I used to get was like,
22:43 you know,
22:44 can openers and electric knives.
22:46 And so I started putting in for the big things
22:48 like the rice cookers and the blenders
22:49 and the food processors and stuff.
22:51 Okay. Okay.
22:52 You're well equipped right now.
22:54 Would you say you're well equipped?
22:55 I remember when we first started coming on 3ABN,
22:58 I don't know how many pieces of instruments
23:00 I actually went through.
23:01 But now we've got it down
23:03 packed now as far as pushing on.
23:04 So the bottom line in meals in minutes
23:06 is that you wanna go ahead on, change the rice up,
23:08 you know, if you're used to doing brown rice
23:10 all the time, put turmeric in it.
23:12 You can also just cook it up, and you can put parsley in it,
23:15 change it up.
23:16 Don't let it be the same thing all the time.
23:18 I don't know about you.
23:19 But some people say,
23:20 I don't want to see the same thing
23:22 every single day that I eat.
23:23 Guess what? We fix the same thing.
23:24 We just change it out with either parsley,
23:26 or seasoning, or the coloring.
23:29 And you know what?
23:31 They think they got something brand new,
23:32 it is the exact same.
23:34 You switch up a few things, yeah.
23:36 That's the secret, don't tell this secret to everybody.
23:38 Don't tell them all of our secrets too.
23:39 Don't tell someone everything.
23:41 Don't tell everything, yeah. That's true.
23:42 Just enough, not a whole lot, let keeps on for ourselves.
23:45 Okay, so now...
23:46 Now, at the end, once it finished cooking.
23:48 I'm gonna put the margarine in
23:50 and we're gonna put the salt in,
23:51 and then this is ready to go
23:53 and they will see it at the very end of the program.
23:56 Now, so this will cook for how long again?
23:58 This cooks for about 10 minutes.
24:00 This is actually rice,
24:02 it doesn't take a long time to cook.
24:03 But if it's regular brown rice,
24:05 remember now it's gonna take 45 minutes to an hour.
24:07 If it's in a rice cooker,
24:09 you don't have to worry about it.
24:10 It will stop when it's ready, finished,
24:12 and rice will be ready as well.
24:13 Okay.
24:15 You have about two rice cooker.
24:16 We've kind of burned them up.
24:17 We've been doing the rice cookers,
24:19 you know, there's a lot of new stuff
24:20 on the market now so I'm always just trying
24:22 to see what can I get new.
24:23 Okay.
24:25 You just let me know baby, I'll take care of you.
24:26 Okay.
24:27 So we've already done that sautéed spinach
24:30 and we've already done that Cuban black beans,
24:32 and we've actually got the rice going on
24:35 and so I know for our main entree,
24:38 we're gonna be fixing something that's totally different
24:40 and that is a barbecued jack fruit.
24:44 Let's go to the recipe.
24:46 Okay.
25:08 Okay, now this is a good one, Curtis,
25:11 and it is a, we call the main entrée.
25:13 Main entrée, okay. And it is jack fruit.
25:15 I'm not even sure if people have actually,
25:18 well it's new coming out
25:20 as far as people talking about jackfruit
25:22 because it is actually a fruit believe it or not,
25:25 and it's from India.
25:26 So tell me now...
25:28 Let's get some history about this now
25:29 'cause this may be new to a lot of people.
25:32 I mean how big does it grow out of the ground
25:35 from the tree or what?
25:36 It grows from a huge tree, it has a vine,
25:39 it comes down from the tree
25:41 and on the vine at the end of the vine
25:42 is the actual jackfruit.
25:44 Now what weight are we talking about?
25:46 I mean, how big can it get?
25:47 Okay, we're talking now, it can weigh up to 80 pounds.
25:50 Eighty pounds?
25:52 Eighty pounds, it's gigantic.
25:53 From the tree, so it must be hanging.
25:55 It is a big, huge, thick vine, it's not a vine like...
25:58 Okay, it has to be thick vine to hold that 80 pound.
26:02 This is a huge watermelon size.
26:05 It's big like a watermelon but it's heavier inside.
26:08 It's dense, very, very dense.
26:10 That's why the weight is coming on it.
26:11 You know watermelon has the water in it.
26:13 Right, right.
26:14 But this jackfruit, it's got pods inside of it
26:17 and it's got lots of we call the carbohydrate part of it
26:21 is actually inside of this thing,
26:23 it makes it heavier.
26:24 So one jackfruit can feed a whole.
26:27 A whole lot.
26:28 Now, the thing is, this is really incredible.
26:32 I was doing a research on jackfruit.
26:34 It was saying that it's actually in hot climates,
26:38 places like India and this is a God thing
26:41 because it was stated that
26:43 that jackfruit is big as it is,
26:45 is got a lot of carbohydrates inside of it.
26:48 And it's actually for the people there
26:51 to keep them from, you know, starvation.
26:54 That fruit, nutrient dense.
26:56 Energy, carbohydrates. Yes.
26:58 All right, yes. And that's a God thing.
26:59 Right, okay. That's a God thing.
27:01 Okay, yeah. Oh, yeah, He does that.
27:02 He does that, okay.
27:03 I've heard too is pictures of people
27:05 having this jackfruit, they have like machetes.
27:07 Yes, they do.
27:08 And they cut it and open it up and can feed a whole family.
27:11 And the pod inside of it is what's the edible part of it
27:15 and that's where you're actually seeing it here.
27:18 When you look at the jackfruit.
27:20 Now believe it or not, we did not.
27:23 I say, I repeat.
27:25 We did not go to India and get a machete.
27:27 No, no, because guess what?
27:29 This fruit has become so popular,
27:31 you can actually see it here in the United States.
27:34 It's in your oriental markets.
27:35 It's in any international market
27:37 where you sell international food.
27:39 Yeah, your Asian food market.
27:40 Yeah, Asian foods, they all have it as well.
27:43 And it is a fruit.
27:45 But we're gonna convert it into a meat
27:49 because we're gonna make it look like
27:51 that of shredded chicken.
27:55 Oh, okay.
27:56 Now, so does it come in a fruit or a can or...
28:00 It comes in a can of water.
28:03 Already chopped up? Already chopped up.
28:05 So it's already... Already queued up.
28:06 Queued up, the seed is removed.
28:08 Yeah, no, no, no, there's no seed,
28:10 it's the pot itself,
28:12 you can see the seed actually in there.
28:14 You can see the seeds in there, all that's edible.
28:17 So when it comes in a can,
28:21 it's already ready to go.
28:23 Okay, we then, of course, we gonna be converting it
28:25 over to look like that of meat
28:26 'cause we do plant based cooking.
28:28 We got to make it look like an assimilation of chicken
28:32 or chicken, you know, chicken breasts,
28:34 you know, you're gonna see it
28:35 when it's shredded it up in the machine.
28:37 So we have our food processor here.
28:38 And when we are doing that, we wanna make sure
28:41 that we don't over process it, right?
28:43 So we're gonna open this up.
28:45 So what we're gonna kind of pulse it in or what?
28:48 Yes we are, we gonna, we're only gonna pulse it,
28:50 let's make sure everything is ready to go.
28:51 Yes, yeah. Okay.
28:53 All right.
28:54 Kind of reminds me of tofu,
28:56 it takes in the flavors of other food,
28:59 would you say it's very versatile?
29:00 Hold up, it takes in a flavor of all the other things
29:03 that like tofu.
29:05 I call these like chameleon foods.
29:08 Okay.
29:09 Now on this one here.
29:10 Just gonna pulse it, right?
29:12 Yes, we're gonna pulse.
29:13 Go ahead. Okay.
29:19 Let me just see that now. Let's see how that look.
29:21 And let's see, it's kind of coming around
29:23 and looking just like shredded.
29:27 I can see the seeds too.
29:28 Yeah, but not now.
29:30 But let's remember now, let's remember,
29:31 these are not seeds,
29:33 like you're thinking about, okay.
29:34 Oh, so this is edible.
29:36 It is the part of the pod.
29:37 It's part of the fruit itself, okay.
29:38 Okay, let me just do this next one here.
29:42 All right, now,
29:44 I want you to go head on so they can see that.
29:46 Let's go ahead on and put that in that lid inside that for,
29:49 so they can see what that looks like
29:51 'cause that is very, very key.
29:53 You don't want to, you don't want to,
29:57 you wanna make sure that it has that texture
29:59 or looks like that of chicken.
30:00 All right. All right.
30:02 So when he puts that in there,
30:03 you're gonna get a chance
30:04 to see what that actually looks like.
30:06 Look at that, look at that and it's is a fruit.
30:10 It is a fruit.
30:11 Okay, but we're converting it into a plant based main entree.
30:17 All right? Okay.
30:18 Is that neat?
30:20 Jackfruit. Jackfruit.
30:21 Now we in Huntsville,
30:23 of course, we would really, there's a Asian market
30:25 and, of course, he knows us.
30:28 Very familiar with him, go there so often.
30:32 So, now it's not even expensive, is it?
30:36 No, the cans are not, it's not expensive at all.
30:39 Okay.
30:40 And I want you to look at that.
30:43 And you can look at that and see
30:45 it has the kind of texture,
30:47 it looks like a very well be shredded chicken.
30:52 All right, shredded chicken.
30:53 So we're gonna put that lid back on there.
30:55 Do we need to use this?
30:57 We're gonna be using that as something else
30:58 we're gonna be doing a little bit later on.
30:59 So let's just move that out of the way there.
31:01 Because we got to go head on and get this next part,
31:04 which is we're gonna put in the onions in too,
31:07 all right?
31:08 So we're gonna cut the onions up
31:11 and we're gonna just chop them a little bit.
31:16 So this can be converted into like a meat like dish.
31:19 It's gonna be a meat dish, okay.
31:21 What other dishes can you use jackfruit in,
31:25 other than like a meat?
31:26 It can go in soups, it can go in stews.
31:27 Oh, soups, stews.
31:29 Okay, because of the texture of it.
31:31 You can use it in stews, soups,
31:36 I would not do it in a stir fry,
31:37 because it is still tender.
31:39 Remember it is a fruit,
31:40 so we want to make sure that you don't overcook it.
31:42 Right.
31:44 All right and by the way, it's already cooked.
31:45 Oh, it's already cooked in can. Yes, it is.
31:47 Okay, when you get it, okay.
31:48 All right, so, we're gonna turn this down,
31:51 and we're gonna go ahead on and start in the oil.
31:56 Once again, start to oil in,
31:58 and I'm going to take my spatula
32:03 and move it around a little bit in here
32:04 so we can get it ready.
32:06 We already had the onions ready to go.
32:09 We're gonna go ahead and put the onions in.
32:10 Why don't you go ahead and put the onions in?
32:13 And then we're also gonna put in the garlic as well.
32:17 And this is fresh garlic
32:18 that we're using for this particular recipe.
32:21 I can already smell that barbecue sauce.
32:24 And in our book, our global vegetarian cookbook,
32:27 we actually have our own barbecue sauce
32:29 that we make from scratch, okay.
32:30 That's right, yeah.
32:32 And so that's another one I like to make that way
32:33 ahead of time as well.
32:34 And so that's getting ready to sauté(C),
32:36 I'm gonna go ahead and put in...
32:37 Just your garlic.
32:39 Garlic as well. Okay.
32:41 And you know, remember now
32:42 we do the garlic not for long periods of time,
32:45 we're just gonna sauté(C) the onions
32:46 until the onions become translucent or tender.
32:50 Okay, and that's getting itself together.
32:52 Now another thing we're using though
32:54 is because whenever we do,
32:57 let's say something that mimics that of chicken or turkey,
33:01 then we use a seasoning called chicken style seasoning.
33:05 Okay, now, would you explain this?
33:06 That is not chicken at all.
33:08 It's no more than an actual combination of herbs
33:11 that go together that makes it look like it's...
33:13 If you remember the bouillon cubes,
33:14 you've seen them now in the store.
33:16 To have the bouillon cube,
33:18 you add one cube to one cup of water.
33:20 This is actually a vegetable base, okay.
33:23 And by the way you can use a vegetable base in its place.
33:26 So this is chicken style seasoning,
33:28 there's a beef style seasoning as well.
33:30 And I like using the chicken one
33:32 because I'm trying to assimilate that
33:35 chicken in this particular recipe.
33:36 Now, where can you get the chicken and beef style?
33:39 In a regular grocery store.
33:40 So it has no chicken or beef at all
33:43 This is animal free product.
33:45 Animal free 'cause you know on 3ABN,
33:47 we cook plant based.
33:48 All right, God's original plant based diet.
33:52 And you know people always ask that question.
33:54 I always tell them, you know,
33:56 God knew that we were gonna have a problem
33:57 with the food stuff.
33:59 So He put it in the first book,
34:00 in about first chapter in the first book of the Bible.
34:03 Genesis 1:29.
34:05 That's the yielding seed shall be thy meat.
34:07 Fruit of the tree.
34:09 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
34:10 Even after sin.
34:11 After sin then what?
34:13 Herbs of the ground, but still plant based.
34:15 Even animals were designed
34:16 not to eat flesh foods in the beginning.
34:19 That's it. Even an animal kingdom.
34:21 So. So, yes.
34:22 Genesis 3:18, then we go to the vegetable kingdom.
34:25 Plants from the earth, yeah.
34:27 Okay, you can see
34:28 this is looking good and it's smelling good,
34:30 but we have not even done the barbecue sauce.
34:32 Yeah. All right, okay.
34:33 So we're gonna go ahead on and put in now,
34:35 the jackfruit.
34:37 So you let the onions cook a little bit
34:39 before you add the jackfruit, right?
34:41 Yes, yes.
34:42 Being a fruit, it will cook pretty soon.
34:44 Well, not only that, not only that,
34:46 whenever you let the onions start sautéing first,
34:51 it gives more flavor to the actual products
34:54 like we did we sautéed the spinach earlier, you know.
34:57 And so, we're going to now just...
35:00 All you gonna do is just move it around a little bit,
35:02 get the onions and the garlic
35:04 to go through that.
35:06 Okay.
35:08 So any place where you use barbecue,
35:12 meat barbecue, you can use jackfruit.
35:14 You can use jackfruit,
35:15 but now you know once again it's making them
35:17 it's gonna take a long time, but that needs to get done.
35:19 Here we go.
35:21 We just gonna add all this stuff right away.
35:22 We don't have hours of cooking and that kind of stuff, okay.
35:26 Yeah. Okay, so.
35:27 Now I'm speaking on the chicken style seasoning.
35:30 And we're gonna go ahead and put in the barbecue sauce,
35:35 Yeah.
35:36 Of course, you make, in your cookbook,
35:38 you have your own barbecue sauce.
35:39 That's right, we make our own barbecue sauce,
35:41 we make our own cheeses.
35:43 We make our own mustard, oh, yeah.
35:46 We do it. We do it all.
35:48 And I'm gonna put in the water also with this.
35:53 I'm glad I'm married to you, honey.
35:55 I know my bread and water sure.
35:57 That's true. That's true.
35:58 That's true. Okay, so.
36:00 We're just gonna just...
36:03 And I'm telling you,
36:04 you can smell that smell now for real?
36:05 Yes, it's coming through now, honey.
36:08 And so with this in mind, this goes on,
36:10 we call a hoagie bun,
36:11 you can go on a hamburger bun.
36:14 It is ready to go.
36:16 One time before, sometime we do this recipe also,
36:19 we do it with the coleslaw.
36:20 Oh, yes. And the coleslaw...
36:22 Oh, these two together that with the coleslaw
36:23 would work out as well, okay.
36:26 And so here we go.
36:28 Look at that. Look at that.
36:30 I remember we did this some time ago here on 3ABN,
36:34 we mentioned about the jackfruit
36:35 and somebody told me they purchased a can
36:38 of jackfruit but haven't used it yet.
36:40 Really.
36:42 So hopefully watching this show,
36:44 maybe they'll use that can.
36:45 Now, it could be old now by now.
36:47 So, but it doesn't cost that much.
36:49 It doesn't cost that much, but the bottom line is that
36:52 they can always just bring it to us.
36:54 We'll be glad to fix it.
36:56 As long as we get a chance to get us a sandwich from it,
36:58 we will be there to fix it for them.
37:00 How about that?
37:01 Yeah, there's a give and take, yeah.
37:03 Yeah, give and take, give and take, all right.
37:04 Now, that's getting this up together,
37:06 believe it or not because the jackfruit's
37:07 already precooked.
37:09 We've already sautéed the onions and the garlic
37:11 and everything in it.
37:12 I'm telling you, yes, yes. Yes.
37:14 Camera 3 going your way.
37:15 It's smelling good. It's looking good. Okay.
37:17 So, now I know you say it, they've done quite a bit.
37:21 Sautéed the spinach,
37:22 we've done the rice team yellow rice,
37:24 we've done the Cuban black beans,
37:26 and we've done the jackfruit
37:28 that's actually gonna be on a hoagie bun,
37:29 you'll see at the end of the program.
37:31 And I know you say,
37:32 "Is there gonna be a dessert on this program?"
37:34 Oh, yeah. Yes, it is.
37:35 We're going with a no bake... No bake.
37:37 Banana pudding dessert.
37:38 Let's look at the ingredients on this one.
37:40 Okay.
38:08 Okay.
38:09 No bake banana pudding.
38:10 No bake, you don't have to bake it or turning on oven.
38:12 Not turning on the oven for this one, honey.
38:14 Meals in minute program and so therefore,
38:16 you don't have to worry about a whole bunch of stuff to do.
38:18 And we can make it in time too.
38:20 Now we got the...
38:21 That is a silken tofu.
38:22 Now, okay, let's talk about this
38:24 because there's different brands and textures,
38:27 firm extra firms, silken, soft, so.
38:29 This is silken
38:31 because whenever I'm doing any kind of pudding,
38:33 or gravy or smoothie,
38:35 I want a soft tofu and it's called silken.
38:39 Where you, if you have the one, it's a firm,
38:43 that's the next one and then extra firm.
38:45 Those are more gritty.
38:47 And they're more for meats and meat loaves,
38:49 stuff like that.
38:50 This is silken.
38:52 It's got that sheen going on with it and it's soft.
38:55 So there's a pudding, soft sausages.
38:57 It's what we're gonna use for our banana pudding.
38:59 Okay. Okay.
39:00 Okay, and so with that in mind,
39:02 what I'm gonna have you do is open that up.
39:04 And we're gonna take our spatula
39:06 and you're gonna just,
39:07 let's just go ahead and divide it up,
39:09 and it will weep, don't worry about that part.
39:12 Okay, and then you gonna just go ahead on and take each.
39:14 Go ahead and put it in there,
39:15 put it around the center of the different
39:17 around you, around your...
39:18 There you go, and it's already ready to go.
39:20 Okay, and so we're gonna put that lid on.
39:23 The name of the game is we gonna actually
39:24 move that around,
39:26 it's gonna start getting smooth already
39:27 before we begin to add the other ingredients.
39:28 So why don't you go ahead
39:30 and get started with that right now?
39:31 Okay.
39:35 Okay, all right.
39:37 So we're gonna make sure we scrape around it.
39:41 Okay, I think something dropped.
39:43 So I think let's just keep on rolling.
39:45 I think that's fine. Yeah, that's fine.
39:46 Okay, 'cause it doesn't have to be a part of that
39:48 so we're just gonna go ahead and finish spinning.
39:49 Camera number 3 won't pick that up.
39:51 Okay. Let's keep moving.
39:55 Okay. All right.
39:57 Now at this part. Good.
39:58 We're using a vanilla pudding mix
40:01 and this vanilla pudding mix,
40:03 there are new ones on the market out there,
40:04 look around,
40:05 wanna make sure it doesn't have any high fructose corn syrup
40:07 or anything in or extra sugars in it.
40:09 They are available now to us, it's such a good time.
40:12 Okay, so now the pudding mix, now this one is...
40:15 This is vanilla, a plain vanilla...
40:17 Okay. Pudding mix.
40:18 That's what I'm using now because I'm using...
40:20 Any grocery store will have this.
40:21 Yeah. Yeah, okay.
40:23 What I'm doing is
40:24 I'm actually gonna be using banana flavoring,
40:27 okay, extract and I'm using vanilla,
40:30 both of those combinations,
40:31 that's just gonna give that texture
40:33 and smell and taste like bananas in it.
40:36 Although we're using bananas,
40:37 but we also want that to be in a flavoring as well.
40:39 So when you're gonna put that back on,
40:41 what we're gonna do is we gonna be slowly adding
40:42 in the new things.
40:44 We're gonna add in first, the vanilla extract,
40:47 and we're gonna add the banana extract,
40:49 those are gonna go in with this on, babe.
40:51 With this on? Oh, okay. Okay.
40:53 And that will hold up and then we're gonna...
40:54 Because I'm saying it now because you're gonna see him
40:56 putting things in,
40:58 that we don't have to stop it
40:59 every time we try to do that, okay.
41:00 I'm gonna, if it comes up toward the top
41:03 as it moves up, I'm gonna take my spatula,
41:05 I might say stop so I can do that, okay.
41:07 Okay. Ready to go. So let's turn it on.
41:08 So I'm putting in the banana and...
41:09 Banana and then the vanilla extract.
41:11 Vanilla, okay.
41:12 There we go. Right.
41:22 Okay, let's stop it.
41:25 All right.
41:26 And you wanna make sure you scrape,
41:27 you wanna get these all, everything down
41:29 'cause you want the flavor
41:30 to be in this banana pudding mix, okay.
41:34 Okay, nice and creamy. Yes, nice and creamy.
41:36 Now we're gonna then turn it, we're gonna put our honey in,
41:39 and we're gonna put in our pudding mix.
41:40 You smell that banana flavor?
41:41 I don't have to take off the top anymore.
41:43 We haven't even used the bananas yet.
41:44 I know, okay.
41:46 All right.
41:47 So, I'll turn it on and then gonna go ahead and...
41:48 Yes. Okay.
42:03 Now, we're gonna go ahead and scrape one more time
42:05 'cause you can see this come up.
42:06 Okay, nice and creamy.
42:08 And because it's a pudding mix,
42:09 rather than trying to put it through that hole right there,
42:11 we're gonna just go ahead on and put the pudding mix in.
42:15 Now, this is the part where once we put in,
42:18 go ahead and sprinkle that pudding mix
42:20 around and stir it for me.
42:21 Oh, okay. Okay.
42:25 Now remember, I said that we're not using
42:27 any high fructose corn syrup type puddings
42:30 or anything in this recipe.
42:31 So this is also gonna be the part
42:34 in which we're going to spin it again.
42:36 And this time when we spin it, if it gets too thick
42:40 then we're gonna add extra water to it to thin it out.
42:42 So it'll have a same consistency
42:44 as regular sauce that goes in a banana pudding.
42:48 So okay, so you sprinkled it already on.
42:50 I've got the water ready to go
42:51 and so you can go here and turn it on.
42:53 Okay, now you're gonna put the water?
42:54 I'm gonna see what happens first.
42:55 Oh, okay. Go ahead and turn it on.
43:03 Okay.
43:18 All right.
43:21 Okay.
43:24 It's still thicker than I wanted to be so
43:26 and I only added a half a cup, remember on the recipe,
43:28 I said you can do
43:30 between a half a cup and a cup of water.
43:32 So we're gonna put it back on again.
43:33 Let's go ahead on and put the rest of the water in it.
43:35 Okay.
43:36 Oh, add up little more water? Turn it on.
43:38 Okay. Turn it on.
43:48 Okay.
43:49 All right, now we got our pudding mix
43:51 that we wanted to have it.
43:52 Okay, it's more of the pudding texture.
43:54 And once again, let's let them see that.
43:57 So we're gonna go ahead on and pour that
43:58 into that cup for me.
44:00 Okay. Okay.
44:02 And then it's time to get to work to make this up.
44:13 Yeah, 'cause I got some goodies on here still to go.
44:14 Okay. Okay.
44:16 And here comes the pudding mix.
44:19 Look at that.
44:21 It's nice and rich in color.
44:22 Nice texture. The texture.
44:25 Okay.
44:27 Oh, man, this is gonna be some kind of good,
44:28 you know what I am saying?
44:32 Yeah, this will work here, baby.
44:34 I know, you can have this by itself,
44:35 because we got to make that banana pudding up, okay?
44:37 Okay.
44:38 Let me just get all of the goodies off
44:40 of here as well.
44:41 We don't need a food processor anymore.
44:43 Yeah, finished with the food processor.
44:45 I think it's blade too, babe.
44:46 Okay.
44:48 Okay, I'll put with that.
44:50 Okay.
44:52 All right.
44:53 We got our bowl here.
44:55 We're gonna put that there.
44:57 And we're gonna start putting this here,
44:58 banana pudding, remember I said it's no bake.
45:00 So that means you don't have to go through a lot of changes,
45:03 you can make this up and it takes about
45:05 three to four hours to chill in a refrigerator
45:07 once you have done it.
45:08 So we're gonna put our wafers.
45:11 Okay so, vanilla wafers.
45:14 I'm gonna put the wafers in.
45:16 So your layer at the bottom in will just,
45:19 then the pudding, the bananas or in that order?
45:20 That's right, layers in that order.
45:22 We're gonna do it that way.
45:24 And then we're gonna put a couple more.
45:26 Okay, and now it's time to have that.
45:29 Let's just get us some pudding mix here.
45:31 Oh, pudding mix, okay.
45:32 Bit of pudding mix.
45:34 You don't have to turn the oven on?
45:36 No, you don't.
45:38 No bake.
45:39 Now so this after you finish doing this,
45:41 you can chill it in the refrigerator for how long?
45:43 About four, at least four hours.
45:45 About four hours?
45:47 Already washed my bananas off
45:48 and we're now gonna just put the bananas in there.
45:52 Yeah.
45:53 Okay, you can smell the banana flavoring
45:55 and also the vanilla flavoring.
45:57 Smell it.
45:58 Okay, and then we're gonna go ahead
46:00 and put some more wafers in.
46:03 Can you believe it's no bake,
46:04 you don't have to worry about baking it.
46:06 Can you believe it? How did this recipe come about?
46:07 I mean, I know you.
46:08 I'm always trying to figure out
46:10 some kind of way to do something.
46:11 So this is the easier one...
46:13 Without turning on the oven in.
46:14 Without turning the oven on, that kind of thing, yeah.
46:16 Okay, we're gonna put in some more of the pudding
46:19 on top of that.
46:20 Yeah.
46:22 So just keep going all the way up to the top.
46:23 Yeah, you can also make this in parfait glasses as well.
46:26 So they can be individual banana parfaits.
46:29 How about that? Yes.
46:31 Okay. Excellent.
46:32 All right, so we're gonna go back in there again,
46:34 we gonna put some more bananas in.
46:35 It does not make any difference as to the order
46:37 of which you do it.
46:39 Okay, as long as you get it all in there.
46:40 Somebody said to me, "What if I don't eat bananas?
46:43 Can I make that banana pudding some other kind of way?"
46:46 I said, "I think you got to play on word."
46:47 Right, it wouldn't be a banana pudding.
46:50 It'll just be a pudding without bananas.
46:51 We're not gonna do that.
46:52 Okay, it's a banana pudding, okay.
46:54 If you don't like bananas, then you won't be doing this.
46:56 Well, probably not. Yeah, probably not.
46:58 Okay, let's get some more of the wafers.
47:05 Honey, you want to put a couple wafers on it?
47:06 Well, you're doing so good.
47:08 Well, let me help out little bit.
47:09 Put a couple around edges there.
47:10 Around the edges. Around the edges.
47:12 Now it has to be...
47:13 Yes, that's enough there.
47:14 There you go. Okay. Okay.
47:16 It's time for some more of the pudding.
47:19 Okay.
47:21 Yeah, all the way to the top of this thing, yes.
47:24 Okay. Look at that.
47:28 Okay, this'll work. Yeah.
47:30 Well, you know,
47:32 what you want is when people see this,
47:33 they're like, Oh, I know that.
47:35 There's my no banana pudding, my favorite.
47:37 Yes, it is. You know, what I'm saying.
47:38 Yes, it is, okay.
47:40 I don't think we can do another layer after this.
47:42 Oh, okay.
47:43 Oh, no, we got to finish it up.
47:45 All right.
47:46 Good. Wonderful.
47:48 This is excellent.
47:49 Yes. Yes.
47:51 And it is a serving for four.
47:56 So we have enough space for one more round or what?
48:00 Well, I'm going to top it off.
48:02 I'm going to top it off.
48:04 Oh, now you had the cinnamon, what's that over there?
48:05 Cinnamon?
48:07 Now, the cinnamon is gonna be the last thing going on
48:08 for coloring and so,
48:10 we're just gonna go head on and put the last.
48:12 Look at that. Yeah, yeah.
48:15 Oh, okay.
48:17 So the cinnamon, we'll just sprinkle on top of that.
48:21 I see.
48:23 Is that filled up to the top or what?
48:24 Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Yes, it is.
48:26 And then, we gonna put that down
48:28 and I like to do...
48:29 Let me put this away here.
48:31 You can put around the edges,
48:33 the wafers.
48:36 Okay.
48:37 And you're finished with the bananas?
48:39 Just about finished,
48:41 put the bananas, hold on one hot sec.
48:42 Oh, one more, okay.
48:43 This is looking good, honey.
48:45 Looking good.
48:46 Okay, and then I just like to take a couple of wafers
48:48 and crumbled them up.
48:54 Wow, you're strong, honey.
48:57 Those Zumba classes are really working out for you.
49:03 You want to add more bananas or we're finished or what?
49:05 We're finished,
49:06 and we're gonna sprinkle on a little bit on the top.
49:08 Let me put all this up here? Yes.
49:15 This was really good.
49:17 I tell we had a wonderful program
49:19 talking about Alzheimer's and you know,
49:23 Yvonne has joined us and I think she's running here.
49:27 Oh, wait a minute.
49:28 Hey. Okay.
49:29 Here she come.
49:31 What a life, yeah. Okay.
49:32 Welcome right there.
49:33 You know what, if the viewers could smell the smells
49:36 in the studio...
49:38 Yes.
49:39 Oh, and look at that.
49:41 Banana pudding.
49:42 That looks almost too good to eat.
49:43 I know. I know.
49:45 It's almost too good.
49:46 Not quite that good, 'cause we're all gonna eat it, right,
49:48 but not now, so late.
49:50 Yes, yes, yes.
49:51 But thank you for coming to this program,
49:54 we have a wonderful discussion, you and Jay,
49:56 So it's no longer Jason, it's Jay.
49:59 He's grown into Jay.
50:00 Yeah, Jay, yeah.
50:02 Actually, you know, it's so important
50:04 because when you hear about so many people
50:06 that have Alzheimer's
50:08 and to be able to know that our God,
50:12 Creator God has given us plant based remedies...
50:17 Yes, yes.
50:18 To address every single issue.
50:21 Yes, absolutely.
50:22 I mean, that's just amazing, amazing.
50:24 Tell us a little bit more about that Bacopa
50:26 if you could because...
50:27 That was so, you know, enlightening
50:30 and especially the fact that it's evidence based,
50:32 because there's so many,
50:35 especially medical professionals
50:37 who will say, Oh, you know, herbs, they're,
50:39 you know, they're not, they're not FDA approved,
50:41 or they're not evidence based or whatever.
50:43 So when we do have studies
50:45 that corroborate the effectiveness
50:47 of these herbs, that's really great.
50:49 So tell us a little bit more about Bacopa?
50:51 Yeah, Bacopa has been out there for years.
50:52 Like I said before, if you get to download the email address,
50:55 I'll see the download of the information
50:57 that we did not talk about
50:59 and lot of studies are done in 2019.
51:01 Like I said one study was done.
51:03 It's not even published yet, it's the online version.
51:06 Wow.
51:07 So this is the latest, but Bacopa been out there
51:09 for a long period of time.
51:11 It's good now for Alzheimer's but also mental clarity,
51:15 and that kind of depression, those kind of things like that.
51:18 But the studies have been done in India and Taiwan.
51:21 So it takes a while for that information be coming
51:23 over here to the United States.
51:25 Right, right.
51:26 But it's good and Ashwaghanda,
51:29 some people heard of that one, too.
51:31 Yes.
51:32 We're talking spinal cord injury.
51:33 Wow.
51:35 Huntington's disease, Parkinson's,
51:36 so is out there and also.
51:38 And depression. Oh, depression, yeah.
51:41 I had someone send me some information saying
51:45 I've been taking this for depression,
51:47 and it was Ashwaghanda and St. John's wort.
51:49 And she combined the two
51:51 and it really made a difference for her.
51:54 So we combine Bacopa and Ashwaghanda together
51:58 because more powerful.
51:59 Yes.
52:01 And then with this plant based eating
52:02 just less need for medication.
52:04 So less risk of taking those anti colic neurotic drug
52:09 that also causes dementia.
52:11 So it's the domino effect.
52:13 Right, right.
52:14 It's so important to move toward that plant based diet.
52:19 Because the more junk food you eat,
52:22 the more you're gonna damage the body
52:27 like every system is affected.
52:29 It is.
52:30 You know, so we have to really be concerned about
52:33 getting more fruits and vegetables,
52:36 this basic fruits and vegetables in the diet.
52:38 God's original diet.
52:39 I think that's why God put the herbs,
52:41 created herbs on the third day of creation week in Genesis.
52:46 And my favorite text,
52:47 one of my favorite text is Psalm 104:14,
52:50 "He calls us to grass to grow for the cattle
52:52 and the herb for the service of man."
52:56 Great scripture, Curtis, that just ties in everything.
52:59 It really does.
53:00 And speaking of tying in everything,
53:02 let's go to the address role and get that food out
53:05 so we can look at it and salivate and all of that.
53:08 How do we reach you?

53:42 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
53:44 Don't have to wait till our program
53:45 could airs on as well.
53:47 All right.
53:51 I mean, first of all, I mean,
53:54 I'm doing all I can do to just not wait.
53:57 We got three O's, honey.
53:58 We got three O's Three O's. Oh, oh, oh.
54:00 All right. Oh, oh, oh.
54:02 Yeah. Now, I love spinach.
54:06 I love beans.
54:08 I love, I mean, this is like, and it looks so great.
54:13 It looks so great and it's plant based.
54:16 Plant, all plant based.
54:18 So it's so healthy.
54:19 Summarize, if you would what is good about this?
54:22 Well, all this is plant based, number one,
54:24 that's the first thing is good.
54:25 And you know, once again, when we talk about plant based,
54:27 we try to cut back on the high amount of sodium
54:30 and all the milk, the eggs, the cheese,
54:32 all that that is not a part of the plant based,
54:34 but it looks just like stuff you're used to eating.
54:35 Yes, which is important. Yes.
54:38 So we've done that sautéed spinach over there.
54:40 And we've done the Cuban black beans.
54:43 We've done steamed rice
54:45 with the yellow turmeric in it
54:46 and turned it yellow.
54:48 We did that jackfruit.
54:50 Oh, yeah.
54:51 And then we end it with this banana.
54:52 No bake banana pudding dessert.
54:55 Oh, my goodness.
54:56 You're gonna hurt somebody, honey.
54:57 Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
54:59 Now so this diet, really dealing with Alzheimer's now,
55:02 okay.
55:03 There's many causes of Alzheimer's.
55:06 The general cause is it causes amyloid,
55:07 but the jury's still out.
55:10 But that's the general consensus.
55:12 Some people say genetic,
55:13 some people say it's inflammation.
55:15 We don't know for sure.
55:17 But if it's inflammation,
55:18 this is an anti-inflammatory diet.
55:21 'Cause there's no animal products in here.
55:24 So being plant based, no matter what disease
55:27 plant based is gonna be the best diet anyway,
55:29 regardless of what you have.
55:30 So therefore, this is gonna be a good diet
55:32 for anybody want to consume a healthier diet
55:35 without the cost, high costs
55:38 and doesn't sacrifice taste.
55:40 Well, look, all of those are important elements.
55:43 You don't want to sacrifice taste
55:45 because people are not gonna eat it
55:46 if it's nasty.
55:47 Let's be real.
55:49 People are not gonna eat it, right?
55:50 But look at it.
55:52 It looks so good.
55:53 You're right, if it looks nasty, no.
55:55 Okay. But look at that.
55:57 That looks so good, so healthy,
56:00 but yet like what you would eat,
56:02 like it doesn't you're not sacrificing anything.
56:06 And with this diet,
56:07 people have a less risk of taking medication
56:12 because by taking medication,
56:14 some of those drugs may be in that category
56:17 that causes those synapses to be blocked.
56:20 So therefore this diet, it's got wholesome diet
56:22 for us to concern.
56:24 I know the jackfruit, honey, that's something that, again,
56:26 let's comment on that because
56:27 that's something new for a lot of people.
56:29 It's new but you know,
56:31 it looks like if you can see it,
56:32 it has that same texture like shredded chicken.
56:36 And so therefore,
56:37 the bottom line to plant based is it needs to look like
56:40 something that people are familiar with.
56:42 You say sautéed spinach, you know,
56:44 and even with the jackfruit,
56:46 it might be a new name to people.
56:47 But look at that on that hoagie bun.
56:50 Or barbecue sauce.
56:51 Come on, okay. Yes, yes.
56:53 I'm like, let's go ahead and try that.
56:55 Come on, that's right.
56:56 And black beans just changing them up,
56:58 you know with the color.
56:59 So, it's been a good program, we're gonna close out.
57:01 John 10:10, Jesus said,
57:03 "I come that they might have life
57:06 and have it more abundantly."
57:10 See you next time.
