Have you ever wondered
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70

prepare healthy food
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
that actually tastes good?
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.77
Well stay tuned
while Evita Tezeno
00:00:05.80\00:00:07.77
and yours truly Nyse Collins
00:00:07.80\00:00:09.27

00:00:09.30\00:00:10.74
and give you something better,
00:00:10.77\00:00:12.44
a taste of paradise.
00:00:12.47\00:00:14.04
Welcome to A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:30.79\00:00:32.86
My name is Evita Tezeno.
00:00:32.89\00:00:35.93
You know, we all love cheese,
00:00:35.96\00:00:39.20
cheese is the American food.
00:00:39.23\00:00:42.64
But cheese really don't like us.
00:00:42.67\00:00:45.74
Cheese is fermented,
00:00:45.77\00:00:48.64
it's really
rotten, it's rotten food,
00:00:48.68\00:00:51.75
and it's not really good for us.
00:00:51.78\00:00:54.25
But I have a cheese for
you that is plant based,
00:00:54.28\00:00:58.72
that does not come
from any animal products,
00:00:58.75\00:01:01.39
and it is delicious.
00:01:01.42\00:01:04.66
So the recipe,
the ingredients are:
00:01:04.69\00:01:08.10
Now today I'm using a Vitamix,
00:01:32.45\00:01:36.32
and all of these nuts
have been soaked overnight,
00:01:36.36\00:01:41.70
but you can soak
them for four hours,
00:01:41.73\00:01:43.16
like the recipe said.
00:01:43.20\00:01:45.37
These are macadamia nuts,
00:01:45.40\00:01:48.30
and these are
almonds that have been,
00:01:48.34\00:01:51.01
the skin has
been taken off of it.
00:01:51.04\00:01:52.94
One cup of water,
00:01:58.18\00:01:59.75
and I add the tahini
00:02:03.55\00:02:06.32
which is a great
source of calcium,
00:02:06.35\00:02:12.93
and we're blending.
00:02:12.96\00:02:14.30
And we want to make
sure that is smooth,
00:02:46.03\00:02:49.56
and here's the fun part now.
00:02:49.60\00:02:51.07
So now we take the
mixture of the almonds
00:02:54.40\00:02:58.07
and the macadamia nuts
and we place it in a strainer
00:02:58.11\00:03:02.04
that has cheese cloth
00:03:02.08\00:03:03.98
and you want the
bowl underneath it
00:03:04.01\00:03:05.78
to get the drippings.
00:03:05.81\00:03:07.22
This is so much fun to make.
00:03:12.35\00:03:14.66
I make this all the time
00:03:14.69\00:03:17.13
and I keep it in my
refrigerator at all times.
00:03:17.16\00:03:22.23
'Cause before I
became a total vegetarian,
00:03:22.26\00:03:26.13
I loved cheese.
00:03:26.17\00:03:28.60
But I suffered from
migraines a whole lot
00:03:28.64\00:03:31.74
and when I started
studying and reading,
00:03:31.77\00:03:34.24
I learnt that cheese was
one of the main culprits.
00:03:34.28\00:03:38.71
So I took it out of my diet
00:03:38.75\00:03:41.75
and I still needed
that cheesy craving,
00:03:41.78\00:03:44.35
I still had a cheesy craving.
00:03:44.39\00:03:46.52
So when I found this
recipe, oh I was so, so excited.
00:03:46.55\00:03:52.16
So now we take this
mixture in the cheese cloth
00:03:56.56\00:04:00.70
and we twirl it
around like this.
00:04:04.87\00:04:08.64
And I came up with
this little contraption,
00:04:08.68\00:04:10.78
this is a bowl,
00:04:10.81\00:04:13.72
put this and this is a
jar that I have pennies in.
00:04:13.75\00:04:18.39
it's very heavy,
00:04:18.42\00:04:19.75
I think it weighs
about maybe four pounds,
00:04:19.79\00:04:22.42
maybe not that much, but maybe.
00:04:22.46\00:04:24.79
And place this and
you would notice that
00:04:24.83\00:04:29.20
the liquid is getting ready to,
00:04:29.23\00:04:34.70
is coming out of the bottom.
00:04:34.74\00:04:36.87
And you want to sit this in
your refrigerator overnight.
00:04:36.91\00:04:39.77
So this is the
product that has been sitting
00:04:47.12\00:04:52.52
in the refrigerator overnight.
00:04:52.55\00:04:56.86
Look it's cheese, it's
like soft cream cheese.
00:04:56.89\00:05:01.76
Isn't that amazing?
00:05:01.80\00:05:05.67
Now what I want to do
now is combine yeast flakes,
00:05:05.70\00:05:12.41
lemon juice,
00:05:12.44\00:05:15.28
salt,
00:05:15.31\00:05:17.81
and maple syrup
00:05:17.85\00:05:20.98
'cause you know you need
that salt and that sweet taste.
00:05:21.02\00:05:25.65
And you combine this
00:05:25.69\00:05:27.76
and you want to make sure
00:05:35.00\00:05:36.33
that you stir
it very thoroughly,
00:05:36.36\00:05:40.17
you're mixing
all the ingredients.
00:05:40.20\00:05:42.14
Now after the
ingredients are all mixed,
00:05:48.71\00:05:51.35
you want to take,
00:05:54.48\00:05:56.02
this is a spring form pan
00:05:56.05\00:05:59.95
with some more cheese cloth.
00:06:04.06\00:06:05.56
And you want to
just place it in here.
00:06:10.47\00:06:13.54
And continue until you have
00:06:26.41\00:06:30.22
all the pA¢tA(C)
in this container.
00:06:30.25\00:06:35.92
And then you want to cover it
00:06:39.03\00:06:40.90
and set a weight on top of it,
00:06:45.33\00:06:47.17
in your refrigerator overnight.
00:06:47.20\00:06:49.80
And
00:06:53.38\00:06:54.71
here is the finished product.
00:06:57.98\00:07:01.02
Can you believe this?
00:07:04.02\00:07:05.92
Now this cuts just like cheese,
00:07:05.95\00:07:09.49
like a soft brie.
00:07:09.52\00:07:11.33
Spread it on a cracker.
00:07:15.63\00:07:18.70
I can't wait, I can't wait.
00:07:18.73\00:07:20.77
Mmm,
00:07:24.41\00:07:27.18
this is so good.
00:07:27.21\00:07:29.61
Now if you want extra firmness,
00:07:29.64\00:07:33.58
you can dehydrate this overnight
00:07:33.62\00:07:37.69
and it gets more firm,
00:07:37.72\00:07:41.12
or you can serve it like it is.
00:07:41.16\00:07:43.19
This could be spread
on crackers, on bread,
00:07:43.22\00:07:48.00
and you can also spread it on,
00:07:48.03\00:07:50.83
as a bottom for pizza.
00:07:50.87\00:07:54.60
This is a great recipe.
00:07:54.64\00:07:59.21
Remember,
00:07:59.24\00:08:01.71
fresh eating is fresh living,
00:08:01.74\00:08:06.95
until next time.
00:08:06.98\00:08:08.32
Sweet too for your sweet eyes.
00:08:15.39\00:08:17.39
Grandma says
00:08:17.43\00:08:18.76
she's going to make
some sweet potato pie.
00:08:18.79\00:08:20.40
I don't know about
you all but I used to love
00:08:20.43\00:08:22.46
when grandma used to
make that sweet potato pie,
00:08:22.50\00:08:24.93
because it's so
delicious, so tasty.
00:08:24.97\00:08:27.30
And man for some reason
you just got a boost of energy
00:08:27.34\00:08:30.31
and so I'll always
look forward to that day.
00:08:30.34\00:08:32.64
But as I started
to grow old, you know,
00:08:32.67\00:08:34.84
this happened long time
ago when I used to be young,
00:08:34.88\00:08:36.68
before you all were around.
00:08:36.71\00:08:38.11
As we look at what it was
00:08:38.15\00:08:40.55
actually put into
that sweet potato,
00:08:40.58\00:08:42.35
she did pretty good,
00:08:42.38\00:08:43.72
she had a couple
of extra ingredients,
00:08:43.75\00:08:45.09
you know, that probably
was a little questionable.
00:08:45.12\00:08:46.92
But hey, it was delicious.
00:08:46.96\00:08:48.89
So today we're going
to make a sweet potato pie
00:08:48.92\00:08:51.13
that's actually helpful, tasty,
00:08:51.16\00:08:53.60
and man, if you want
seconds, go right ahead,
00:08:53.63\00:08:56.03
don't worry about it,
00:08:56.06\00:08:57.40
you won't have to hit
a extra lap on the track
00:08:57.43\00:08:59.93
or anything of that
nature, but why sweet potatoes,
00:08:59.97\00:09:03.00
why we're
choosing sweet potatoes.
00:09:03.04\00:09:04.51
We could have done
pumpkin, we could have done,
00:09:04.54\00:09:07.44
I don't know
something else rhubarb
00:09:07.48\00:09:09.28
or who knows or
carrots or something.
00:09:09.31\00:09:12.05
But sweet potato is
an amazing starchy veg,
00:09:12.08\00:09:16.08
as if you wanna call it.
00:09:16.12\00:09:17.49
It is very good for the body,
00:09:17.52\00:09:20.19
actually it's so
helpful that a person
00:09:20.22\00:09:23.16
who's dealing with
cholesterol is good for that.
00:09:23.19\00:09:25.29
It's also helpful for a person
dealing with hypertension,
00:09:25.33\00:09:28.10
because of the
items that it contains,
00:09:28.13\00:09:30.17
it helps to protect the
inner lining of your arteries,
00:09:30.20\00:09:34.44
you know, that inner lining
00:09:34.47\00:09:35.80
where cholesterol
loves to hang out.
00:09:35.84\00:09:37.21
And build up and block
stuff and heart attacks
00:09:37.24\00:09:39.71
and stuff of that nature.
00:09:39.74\00:09:41.08
And it's also helpful
00:09:41.11\00:09:42.44
as it protects the inner lining,
00:09:42.48\00:09:43.81
what happens to
the blood pressure.
00:09:43.85\00:09:45.18
It just continues
to do what it do best,
00:09:45.21\00:09:46.55
instead of
going high or too low.
00:09:46.58\00:09:48.22
So enjoy sweet potatoes.
00:09:48.25\00:09:49.58
Why else are
sweet potatoes good?
00:09:49.62\00:09:51.22
It has certain
irons, which is helpful,
00:09:51.25\00:09:53.22
also that it gives you a like,
not false sense of fullness,
00:09:53.25\00:09:57.73
but actually it causes
you to feel really full,
00:09:57.76\00:10:01.10
and for several hours at a time.
00:10:01.13\00:10:03.26
So when in doubt,
00:10:03.30\00:10:04.63
if you leaving
your house you're like,
00:10:04.67\00:10:06.00
"Man, I need to eat something,"
00:10:06.03\00:10:07.37
that is good,
that will hold me over.
00:10:07.40\00:10:09.00
You better grab
some sweet potato.
00:10:09.04\00:10:11.17
Why not even grab a
slice of your sweet potato pie,
00:10:11.21\00:10:13.48
who knew, that
this pie will be so good
00:10:13.51\00:10:15.51
for all of these items.
00:10:15.54\00:10:16.88
What else is it good for?
00:10:16.91\00:10:18.25
A person who is
looking to balance
00:10:18.28\00:10:19.61
some of their blessings.
00:10:19.65\00:10:20.98
Hey, this is where is that,
00:10:21.02\00:10:22.35
why, because it
keeps you fuller for longer
00:10:22.38\00:10:24.42
and because it has
not as much calories
00:10:24.45\00:10:27.39
as you would get from
some of the other items
00:10:27.42\00:10:29.32
that we can buy
from you know they say,
00:10:29.36\00:10:31.29
fast food, you eat fast
food you live a fast life,
00:10:31.33\00:10:33.93
here today, going tonight.
00:10:33.96\00:10:35.30
So we want to be
here tomorrow as well.
00:10:35.33\00:10:37.33
So go ahead enjoy this
and we're going to go ahead
00:10:37.37\00:10:40.44
and show you how to make,
you can't just make the pie,
00:10:40.47\00:10:42.47
you got to have
that crust as well.
00:10:42.50\00:10:44.17
So we're going to
start off with the crust,
00:10:44.21\00:10:45.54
and then we're gonna go ahead
and fill it up with the pie.
00:10:45.57\00:10:47.58
Here's the ingredients
to this delicious crust.
00:10:47.61\00:10:50.55
All you need is:
00:10:50.58\00:10:51.91
Now who can't do that,
00:11:07.96\00:11:09.56
that's like the easiest
pie crust around the town.
00:11:09.60\00:11:12.23
Everybody can do it.
00:11:12.27\00:11:13.60
No need to go
and buy it anymore,
00:11:13.64\00:11:15.50
because when we start
looking at the ingredients
00:11:15.54\00:11:17.14
on some of those
pie crusts we buy,
00:11:17.17\00:11:18.51
it is danger,
danger, stay away, beware,
00:11:18.54\00:11:21.98
it tastes good.
00:11:22.01\00:11:23.35
But, you know,
00:11:23.38\00:11:24.71
what the bad part of it is
00:11:24.75\00:11:27.08
or what are the
results from eating this.
00:11:27.12\00:11:28.88
So we're going to show
you how to dish this up.
00:11:28.92\00:11:30.95
So right here, in my bowl
00:11:30.99\00:11:32.72
all I have is the
whole wheat flour there.
00:11:32.75\00:11:34.99
We're going to go ahead
00:11:35.02\00:11:36.49
and we're going to add
some of that cane sugar.
00:11:36.52\00:11:38.96
Now real quick, if
you don't have cane sugar,
00:11:38.99\00:11:41.93
if you notice I'm using little
more cane sugar lately with
00:11:41.96\00:11:43.70
and I'm gonna go ahead
00:11:43.73\00:11:45.07
and just put in a
salt and I mix that,
00:11:45.10\00:11:46.43
I'll tell you
about the cane sugar.
00:11:46.47\00:11:47.84
We will us a little
more cane sugar why,
00:11:47.87\00:11:50.14
because it's
readily available now,
00:11:50.17\00:11:52.57
everybody has access to it.
00:11:52.61\00:11:54.41
But if you notice in the recipe,
00:11:54.44\00:11:56.68
we shared with you that
you can easily use molasses.
00:11:56.71\00:11:59.78
Molasses is fantastic,
00:11:59.81\00:12:01.55
a matter of fact
molasses is loaded
00:12:01.58\00:12:04.32
with a lot of good iron
00:12:04.35\00:12:05.75
as magnesium and potassium
00:12:05.79\00:12:08.32
and this thing is amazing.
00:12:08.36\00:12:10.09
Even better than
molasses is blackstrap molasses,
00:12:10.13\00:12:13.66
which have triple the amount
of regular molasses of calcium.
00:12:13.70\00:12:17.17
You looking to have
strong healthy bones,
00:12:17.20\00:12:19.03
right here, molasses,
00:12:19.07\00:12:20.40
I'm going ahead and
advertising for that.
00:12:20.44\00:12:22.37
But hey, enjoy the molasses,
00:12:22.40\00:12:24.11
we used to give this
molasses to the cows,
00:12:24.14\00:12:26.64
and to the chickens and stuff
00:12:26.68\00:12:28.01
and they're walking along
a big strong healthy bones,
00:12:28.04\00:12:30.01
while our bones are
crumbling to pieces.
00:12:30.05\00:12:32.35
Take it back from the
cow and eat it yourself.
00:12:32.38\00:12:35.08
And a matter of fact a
lot of people don't like it,
00:12:35.12\00:12:37.05
because it kind of
tastes strong a bit.
00:12:37.09\00:12:39.35
But you can do
it now in the crust
00:12:39.39\00:12:41.39
so you can enjoy it,
00:12:41.42\00:12:42.76
while you're enjoying
your sweet potato pie.
00:12:42.79\00:12:44.13
Then what we're
going to do, as you notice,
00:12:44.16\00:12:46.33
I have to go ahead and put down,
00:12:46.36\00:12:47.76
now we're going to get
our hands into the mix here.
00:12:47.80\00:12:49.70
We're going to go ahead,
00:12:49.73\00:12:51.07
and we're going
to take that butter
00:12:51.10\00:12:52.43
or the soy butter.
00:12:52.47\00:12:53.80
Let me just grab
a little spoon here,
00:12:53.84\00:12:55.60
and we gotta put that in
00:12:55.64\00:12:56.97
and we're going to
mix this up properly
00:12:57.01\00:12:58.74
and so almost like a crumble
or something of that nature.
00:12:58.77\00:13:01.84
So get as much as you can there.
00:13:01.88\00:13:04.48
If you have the better butter
00:13:04.51\00:13:05.95
hey, try better butter as well,
00:13:05.98\00:13:07.58
if you don't
have the soy butter.
00:13:07.62\00:13:09.98
Go ahead and mix that up nicely.
00:13:10.02\00:13:12.82
I used to love doing
this, and a matter of fact,
00:13:12.85\00:13:15.02
I encourage you all to
get your children involved.
00:13:15.06\00:13:18.73
A lot of time the
kids are just sitting
00:13:18.76\00:13:20.40
and they're playing
all these video games
00:13:20.43\00:13:22.26
and they're talking about,
"Mom, when is the food ready?"
00:13:22.30\00:13:23.67
"What?
00:13:23.70\00:13:25.03
You want some food,
00:13:25.07\00:13:26.40
come and get it
yourself, make it yourself."
00:13:26.43\00:13:27.77
Go ahead and let them come.
00:13:27.80\00:13:29.14
I remember the good old days,
we used to just make a mess,
00:13:29.17\00:13:31.61
flour all over the place.
00:13:31.64\00:13:33.51
We got a couple
slaps on the head, now,
00:13:33.54\00:13:35.78
I shouldn't say that too loud,
00:13:35.81\00:13:37.51
I don't want Child
Services to go after my mom.
00:13:37.55\00:13:39.28
But hey, we had the best
time, it was the best memories
00:13:39.31\00:13:42.45
and as a result now today,
00:13:42.48\00:13:43.85
I can share some of
these recipes with you.
00:13:43.89\00:13:45.89
So please get the
children involved.
00:13:45.92\00:13:48.32
Can you imagine
they're making their own cakes
00:13:48.36\00:13:50.59
and stuff of that nature?
00:13:50.63\00:13:52.13
Please, don't
waste and turn off the TV
00:13:52.16\00:13:54.83
come into the VIP room
00:13:54.86\00:13:56.56
and make some
good sweet potato pies
00:13:56.60\00:13:59.33
as they're always asking for it.
00:13:59.37\00:14:00.74
Then what you do,
after you mix that up,
00:14:00.77\00:14:03.34
you take that
nice ice-cold water,
00:14:03.37\00:14:05.21
I hope it's still cold.
00:14:05.24\00:14:06.57
And you pour that over
there, and you're gonna,
00:14:06.61\00:14:09.64
it's going to give you
some more consistency there.
00:14:09.68\00:14:13.08
Okay, then we're gonna
make into a nice little ball
00:14:13.11\00:14:16.89
in a second here.
00:14:16.92\00:14:18.55
As you notice this is starting
to come together nicely,
00:14:18.59\00:14:20.99
this is your crust.
00:14:21.02\00:14:22.76
Now, I know we could have
went and we could've bought it,
00:14:22.79\00:14:25.06
but now, you can
do it almost for free
00:14:25.09\00:14:27.96
and you don't have to
worry about what's in it.
00:14:28.00\00:14:29.90
And so nicely as you
see here, you have your,
00:14:29.93\00:14:34.00
your dough or your crust,
00:14:34.04\00:14:36.37
and then what we're gonna to do,
00:14:36.40\00:14:37.74
we're going to move this over,
we're gonna take some flour,
00:14:37.77\00:14:39.97
we're gonna lay it out there.
00:14:40.01\00:14:41.51
I know we're in the kitchen,
don't worry if you make a mess,
00:14:41.54\00:14:44.41
it's okay, it's okay.
00:14:44.45\00:14:46.68
You spent all the money
on this kitchen, so what,
00:14:46.72\00:14:48.82
keep it perfectly
clean, use it one person said.
00:14:48.85\00:14:53.32
And so you, you put that there
00:14:53.36\00:14:56.42
and we have our
roller pin in a second
00:14:56.46\00:14:58.13
because we're
gonna roll this out.
00:14:58.16\00:14:59.49
And oh, man, I'm thinking,
00:14:59.53\00:15:03.10
I'm gonna want to
make some bread after this.
00:15:03.13\00:15:04.83
So as you see them, you
put some more flour there,
00:15:04.87\00:15:08.94
and I went ahead and I
just put all the water,
00:15:08.97\00:15:11.17
if you put less even
better, but go ahead.
00:15:11.21\00:15:15.88
And mix that there and hey,
00:15:15.91\00:15:18.38
now you can
practice a little massage
00:15:18.41\00:15:20.35
at the same time,
00:15:20.38\00:15:22.18
I'm sure your spouse or
whoever would enjoy that.
00:15:22.22\00:15:26.86
You put just a little bit
more, and then we just roll it,
00:15:26.89\00:15:31.36
as you can see it's
pretty much there already.
00:15:31.39\00:15:35.13
Just roll it out
nicely, not too much,
00:15:35.16\00:15:38.43
we're not making roti
or anything, or burritos,
00:15:38.47\00:15:41.67
or tortillas, so
just take it easy there.
00:15:41.70\00:15:47.48
Actually this is
really, really, really good.
00:15:47.51\00:15:52.88
Now the messy part is gonna
come up now here in a second.
00:15:52.91\00:15:55.28
I just want to make enough,
00:15:55.32\00:15:56.65
so it fits into my
into my bacon dish.
00:15:56.69\00:16:01.56
All right, so I'm
gonna to put that there.
00:16:01.59\00:16:04.96
This is the part
where it breaks up on you,
00:16:04.99\00:16:09.46
but you've got to do it wise.
00:16:09.50\00:16:10.83
And so now,
00:16:10.87\00:16:12.20
I take my regular nice little
baking dish as you see here.
00:16:12.23\00:16:15.84
You put it right there on top.
00:16:15.87\00:16:18.84
It is the part
00:16:18.87\00:16:21.84
and then, you just flip it.
00:16:21.88\00:16:25.25
One, two, three.
00:16:25.28\00:16:29.18
Yippy!
00:16:29.22\00:16:30.69
It went through,
00:16:30.72\00:16:32.05
and then you just
pull it right back
00:16:32.09\00:16:33.42
over saw it folds in nicely.
00:16:33.46\00:16:35.46
Sometimes it will fold over,
but you should be fine here.
00:16:35.49\00:16:38.49
And then you
have your crust you,
00:16:38.53\00:16:40.16
you take off all of these parts.
00:16:40.20\00:16:42.63
And don't waste
anything you can take that
00:16:42.66\00:16:45.40
and make a cool design.
00:16:45.43\00:16:47.20
I'm not gonna
do that here today,
00:16:47.24\00:16:49.17
but you have your crust here,
very nice and easy to make.
00:16:49.20\00:16:52.51
Maybe you can use this
for decorations on top.
00:16:52.54\00:16:55.64
So don't throw that
away, save that for later.
00:16:55.68\00:16:58.01
And voila, we
have our pie crust,
00:16:58.05\00:17:00.72
you're gonna take this now,
00:17:00.75\00:17:02.08
you gonna put it
in oven for about
00:17:02.12\00:17:03.59
5, 10, 20, 15
minutes on medium heat,
00:17:03.62\00:17:06.35
not too much,
00:17:06.39\00:17:07.72
just to get a
little toasty there.
00:17:07.76\00:17:09.09
But you don't want
to cook it too much,
00:17:09.12\00:17:10.49
because we still
have to put the pumpkin,
00:17:10.53\00:17:13.06
not the pumpkin, look at that.
00:17:13.09\00:17:14.43
I'm still talking about pumpkin,
00:17:14.46\00:17:15.83
sweet potato pie
filling, all right.
00:17:15.86\00:17:17.80
So we're going to move
on to that next one now.
00:17:17.83\00:17:20.84
The recipe for the
Sweet Potato Pie filler
00:17:20.87\00:17:23.61
really, simple, and
easy, all you need is what:
00:17:23.64\00:17:25.37
Now I know you all are thinking,
00:17:47.00\00:17:48.33
wait a second.
00:17:48.36\00:17:49.70
That's not how grandma made it
00:17:49.73\00:17:51.07
for our sweet
eyes and our sweet soup
00:17:51.10\00:17:53.20
and I know she put a
little extra ingredients,
00:17:53.23\00:17:55.80
more sugar,
more this, more that,
00:17:55.84\00:17:57.84
but we don't have
to do that no more.
00:17:57.87\00:17:59.27
And we can still get
some of the same effect
00:17:59.31\00:18:02.31
and a blessing as a
result of making this beautiful,
00:18:02.34\00:18:05.81
beautiful tasty and
delicious sweet potato pie.
00:18:05.85\00:18:09.02
But what is the
key ingredient again,
00:18:09.05\00:18:10.65
is the sweet potato.
00:18:10.69\00:18:12.02
I went ahead and
cut one and half.
00:18:12.05\00:18:13.39
This thing is amazing.
00:18:13.42\00:18:14.86
This is like a
little extra gift from God,
00:18:14.89\00:18:16.62
He was just like,
00:18:16.66\00:18:17.99
you know, y'all, y'all so nice,
00:18:18.03\00:18:19.36
I'm going to give you
something that you can enjoy.
00:18:19.39\00:18:21.26
So one person said
God has a sweet tooth too
00:18:21.30\00:18:23.06
and that's why He
made sweet potato pie.
00:18:23.10\00:18:25.70
I don't know if He
made the sweet potato pie,
00:18:25.73\00:18:27.07
but I know He
made the sweet potato.
00:18:27.10\00:18:28.44
Amen.
00:18:28.47\00:18:29.80
And so we have a sweet potato.
00:18:29.84\00:18:31.17
All you need to do is cut up.
00:18:31.21\00:18:32.54
You're going to need
about a couple of cups of that.
00:18:32.57\00:18:34.81
So you just cut
them up really nice,
00:18:34.84\00:18:38.38
there you go and
get them rolling.
00:18:38.41\00:18:42.15
Let me tell you also why these
sweet potato is an amazing item
00:18:42.18\00:18:47.56
that we can enjoy
is because watch this.
00:18:47.59\00:18:51.49
Anybody ever felt hungry before,
00:18:51.53\00:18:54.16
the reason why you feel hungry,
00:18:54.20\00:18:55.56
and I'm gonna take these
00:18:55.60\00:18:56.93
and I'm going to
put them in the pot,
00:18:56.97\00:18:58.30
all right.
00:18:58.33\00:18:59.67
The reason why you
feel hungry is because
00:18:59.70\00:19:01.04
sometimes you need
a little extra fats
00:19:01.07\00:19:03.37
in your foods, right.
00:19:03.41\00:19:04.74
And your body's
craving for this.
00:19:04.77\00:19:06.47
And so what happens is normally,
00:19:06.51\00:19:08.98
your body craves
for the fattiest food,
00:19:09.01\00:19:10.85
that's why when
you're driving on a road
00:19:10.88\00:19:12.38
and you look up and you
see all these billboards.
00:19:12.41\00:19:14.32
They don't just show you like,
00:19:14.35\00:19:15.68
"Oh, we're offering
you today a nice salad
00:19:15.72\00:19:18.09
or something of that nature,"
00:19:18.12\00:19:19.45
because your body is
not looking for that,
00:19:19.49\00:19:20.86
your body looking for what?
00:19:20.89\00:19:22.22
For fatty foods
00:19:22.26\00:19:24.03
to get the craving
out of the way, right.
00:19:24.06\00:19:28.96
So when you drive,
00:19:29.00\00:19:30.33
what do you see on a billboards?
00:19:30.37\00:19:31.70
Fries, and a
burger and this and that.
00:19:31.73\00:19:34.27
And you'll drive and
you'd all of sudden notice
00:19:34.30\00:19:37.04
your arms are starting to turn
00:19:37.07\00:19:38.71
and you're like,
"Lord, what's going on?"
00:19:38.74\00:19:40.44
Is your body turning
you into that drive through,
00:19:40.48\00:19:42.74
because they wants
the fat, all right.
00:19:42.78\00:19:45.41
Now let's look at
what sweet potatoes do.
00:19:45.45\00:19:47.95
Do you know sweet
potatoes, when you eat it,
00:19:47.98\00:19:50.12
it goes ahead and
say, how do I say,
00:19:50.15\00:19:53.59
it meets the same
craving that you have,
00:19:53.62\00:19:56.93
but equal,
almost equal to our fat.
00:19:56.96\00:19:59.23
Let me explain
a little bit more.
00:19:59.26\00:20:00.60
It satisfies you,
00:20:00.63\00:20:02.63
just like fats will satisfy you.
00:20:02.66\00:20:05.20
And that's why a
lot of people enjoy this
00:20:05.23\00:20:07.70
and use this to help
balance the blessing.
00:20:07.74\00:20:09.87
And I know, we all want
to balance that blessing
00:20:09.90\00:20:12.01
and so that's why we
keep that sweet potato around
00:20:12.04\00:20:13.91
make sure this is
one of the staple foods
00:20:13.94\00:20:15.84
in your VIP room,
00:20:15.88\00:20:17.98
because this is fantastic.
00:20:18.01\00:20:19.35
However let's call
a timeout, or we say,
00:20:19.38\00:20:21.78
we should be eating
sweet potato everyday
00:20:21.82\00:20:23.15
for the rest of our life.
00:20:23.18\00:20:24.52
No, because, your body
still needs the fat, okay.
00:20:24.55\00:20:27.02
So what do you do?
00:20:27.06\00:20:28.39
You have a sweet
potato, you make a nice little,
00:20:28.42\00:20:30.43
you do a nut cheese,
00:20:30.46\00:20:33.56
and you already saw
what Evita did there.
00:20:33.60\00:20:35.53
So you can have
the sweet potato,
00:20:35.56\00:20:37.27
put that, that
nice cheese over it,
00:20:37.30\00:20:39.67
because those nuts contain what,
00:20:39.70\00:20:41.54
fats which is necessary.
00:20:41.57\00:20:43.27
So you are getting the one,
two double whammy to hunger,
00:20:43.30\00:20:47.01
hunger should not exist anymore.
00:20:47.04\00:20:49.14
And we're going to balance
our blessings as a result.
00:20:49.18\00:20:51.51
So you put those
items in the pot.
00:20:51.55\00:20:53.35
You go ahead and you boil
it till it's nice and soft,
00:20:53.38\00:20:57.15
if you want to remove the skin.
00:20:57.19\00:20:58.55
Hey, cool, me,
00:20:58.59\00:21:00.02
I just keep the skin
00:21:00.06\00:21:01.76
and you remember
the little principle,
00:21:01.79\00:21:03.12
that we share or you
get a chance to learn,
00:21:03.16\00:21:05.29
if it goes in rough,
00:21:05.33\00:21:06.70
that usually is doing a good job
00:21:06.73\00:21:08.06
because, you know,
00:21:08.10\00:21:09.43
what happens it
comes out nice and smooth.
00:21:09.46\00:21:11.97
As you see there,
as the fury, but oh,
00:21:12.00\00:21:14.57
no I'm not saying that
this is what comes out,
00:21:14.60\00:21:15.94
all right.
00:21:15.97\00:21:17.31
So go ahead and you make
that then when it's finished.
00:21:17.34\00:21:20.88
Just for the sake of time,
00:21:20.91\00:21:22.24
we don't have time to boil
it and cooking all that stuff.
00:21:22.28\00:21:24.31
We went ahead and I
made some here for you.
00:21:24.35\00:21:26.65
This is the a.k.a.
00:21:26.68\00:21:28.65
sweet potato puree
that I was talking about.
00:21:28.68\00:21:30.95
So you just make sure
00:21:30.99\00:21:32.32
that is mashed
together properly,
00:21:32.35\00:21:33.92
then you go ahead now,
00:21:33.96\00:21:35.92
and you add the extra
ingredients that we mentioned.
00:21:35.96\00:21:39.03
We have the soy milk,
00:21:39.06\00:21:41.16
let's say you
don't have soy milk,
00:21:41.20\00:21:43.23
but I have some
nuts in the house,
00:21:43.26\00:21:45.07
put in almond milk,
00:21:45.10\00:21:46.43
put in cashew
milk, or walnut milk,
00:21:46.47\00:21:48.60
real simple one cup of
nuts to one cup of what,
00:21:48.64\00:21:51.17
you blend till
it's nice and creamy,
00:21:51.21\00:21:52.57
then you add three
more cups of water,
00:21:52.61\00:21:53.94
voila, milk done.
00:21:53.98\00:21:55.58
All right, then we
have the maple syrup.
00:21:55.61\00:21:59.41
As we have there or honey
00:21:59.45\00:22:02.92
or you decide what you have,
00:22:02.95\00:22:06.25
one of the biggest down force
00:22:06.29\00:22:09.32
of people trying to
live a healthy lifestyle,
00:22:09.36\00:22:11.33
is they don't have
all of the ingredients
00:22:11.36\00:22:14.13
that should never
be our situation here.
00:22:14.16\00:22:16.83
So as you see you
got to work it through,
00:22:16.87\00:22:19.17
work it through, be faithful,
00:22:19.20\00:22:21.30
it's gonna come together here.
00:22:21.34\00:22:23.34
So I just mix that up nicely.
00:22:23.37\00:22:25.24
Another way that you can do in
00:22:25.27\00:22:27.18
is you can put
it in the blender,
00:22:27.21\00:22:29.14
okay, but I don't
have time for no blender.
00:22:29.18\00:22:32.38
Why use a blender
when I can do it myself.
00:22:32.41\00:22:34.32
So I'm going to mix
that in there nicely,
00:22:34.35\00:22:36.15
but I'm also going to add
00:22:36.18\00:22:37.52
the rest of the
remaining ingredients here.
00:22:37.55\00:22:40.59
We have the sea salt
and also our nice flavor,
00:22:40.62\00:22:47.10
and I have to tell
you about this here,
00:22:47.13\00:22:49.73
lot of people
enjoy that they say,
00:22:49.76\00:22:52.00
"Well, my grandma went ahead
00:22:52.03\00:22:53.80
and she added cinnamon
00:22:53.84\00:22:56.37
and she added nutmeg and
she added this and that."
00:22:56.40\00:22:59.67
Yes, she probably
added all those items,
00:22:59.71\00:23:01.48
but then you wondering why
00:23:01.51\00:23:03.01
the blood pressure is
starting to creep up on you,
00:23:03.04\00:23:04.91
you wondering why,
00:23:04.95\00:23:06.28
you know the
stomach is just bubbling,
00:23:06.31\00:23:07.78
you know what I'm talking about
00:23:07.82\00:23:09.15
because the cinnamon
00:23:09.18\00:23:10.52
and nutmeg are known
as per se spices, right.
00:23:10.55\00:23:12.45
When I stand up,
they're by per se.
00:23:12.49\00:23:14.66
I know many people share that
cinnamon is good for diabetes
00:23:14.69\00:23:18.76
and there may be
studies that show that,
00:23:18.79\00:23:20.50
but at the same time
because it's the spice,
00:23:20.53\00:23:22.46
it's going to slowly,
00:23:22.50\00:23:23.83
but surely start to irritate
the lining of the stomach.
00:23:23.87\00:23:26.03
So what do we use
instead of cinnamon?
00:23:26.07\00:23:27.80
We use coriander, okay.
00:23:27.84\00:23:31.11
Well, what about nutmeg
00:23:31.14\00:23:33.38
they say, you
know, I love nutmeg.
00:23:33.41\00:23:35.51
Matter of fact, I
remember one time,
00:23:35.54\00:23:37.25
I was making a porridge,
00:23:37.28\00:23:38.71
y'all know what porridge is,
00:23:38.75\00:23:40.08
the oatmeal and
stuff of that nature.
00:23:40.12\00:23:41.45
And I remember my
mom always used to
00:23:41.48\00:23:43.22
when she made that porridge.
00:23:43.25\00:23:44.62
She always go over the pot
00:23:44.65\00:23:46.45
and she take the
little nutmeg item
00:23:46.49\00:23:48.49
and she lean over
and she go chuk, chuk.
00:23:48.52\00:23:50.83
And then she just leave it alone
00:23:50.86\00:23:52.59
and then keep
mixing, I'm like man.
00:23:52.63\00:23:54.36
If that nutmeg makes
everything taste so good,
00:23:54.40\00:23:57.30
why don't we add more?
00:23:57.33\00:23:58.67
So what did I do?
00:23:58.70\00:24:00.04
One day, I always say
my mom is my girl friend,
00:24:00.07\00:24:01.67
so I'm cooking for my
girlfriend, my mother.
00:24:01.70\00:24:03.84
And I'm making it
and I said I remember
00:24:03.87\00:24:05.91
she added this extra ingredient,
00:24:05.94\00:24:07.31
this little nutmeg,
00:24:07.34\00:24:08.68
and I went and
I grabbed a nutmeg
00:24:08.71\00:24:10.18
and I got over the porridge
00:24:10.21\00:24:11.65
and I went chuk,
chuk, chuk, chuk,chuk.
00:24:11.68\00:24:13.38
I said, "Let me add some extra,
so it can taste even better."
00:24:13.42\00:24:16.85
And as I was doing this
00:24:16.89\00:24:18.22
all I felt was
some wind come behind.
00:24:18.25\00:24:20.56
And I look, it was my mom.
00:24:20.59\00:24:22.79
She just gave me a
little touch and she said,
00:24:22.82\00:24:24.19
"You're trying to kill us,
00:24:24.23\00:24:25.73
why you're
putting so much nutmeg."
00:24:25.76\00:24:27.33
I said, "Mom, I'm
trying to take care of you,
00:24:27.36\00:24:29.56
and I'm getting
beat up for this.
00:24:29.60\00:24:30.93
She said, "No, no, no
00:24:30.97\00:24:32.30
you're not
supposed to put so much."
00:24:32.33\00:24:33.67
So she took a
spoon and dipped it up.
00:24:33.70\00:24:35.04
But I never understood why.
00:24:35.07\00:24:36.40
Let me explain a
little bit about this nutmeg.
00:24:36.44\00:24:38.47
Nutmeg, this is a good item.
00:24:38.51\00:24:41.38
It has its purpose, okay,
00:24:41.41\00:24:42.94
just like
cinnamon has its purpose.
00:24:42.98\00:24:44.78
But nutmeg as
they show it contains
00:24:44.81\00:24:47.65
what is known as
00:24:47.68\00:24:49.02
a toxic alkaloid core
called myristicin, all right.
00:24:49.05\00:24:51.75
Don't worry about it,
just go online look it up,
00:24:51.79\00:24:53.52
or something like that.
00:24:53.56\00:24:54.89
And what it does,
00:24:54.92\00:24:56.26
it has a narcotic
effect on the brain.
00:24:56.29\00:24:59.36
What?
00:24:59.39\00:25:00.80
The brain, narcotic,
00:25:00.83\00:25:02.66
wait a second, let
me call a time out.
00:25:02.70\00:25:04.03
Did I say
helpful effect or what?
00:25:04.07\00:25:06.43
A narcotic effect on the brain.
00:25:06.47\00:25:09.10
And what I have shown is that
00:25:09.14\00:25:10.64
it actually depresses
the central nervous system.
00:25:10.67\00:25:13.48
Now that's not good,
00:25:13.51\00:25:14.84
I want my
central nervous system,
00:25:14.88\00:25:16.21
my brain and
everything to work even better,
00:25:16.24\00:25:17.68
not be depressed.
00:25:17.71\00:25:19.28
And so as a
result it is advisable,
00:25:19.31\00:25:22.62
you know the nutmeg
00:25:22.65\00:25:23.99
and I may still
hold off on that,
00:25:24.02\00:25:25.45
they have their
purpose you know mace
00:25:25.49\00:25:26.82
or whatever of that nature,
00:25:26.86\00:25:28.69
and nutmeg actually
works as a good medicine.
00:25:28.72\00:25:31.96
However, I'm not sick
so why am I using nutmeg?
00:25:31.99\00:25:34.43
So people say, "What do
I use instead of nutmeg?"
00:25:34.46\00:25:36.30
I suppose it's not,
00:25:36.33\00:25:37.67
we're not here
trying to substitute items,
00:25:37.70\00:25:39.03
but you can use what
is known as cardamon,
00:25:39.07\00:25:41.70
cardamon instead of
nutmeg and for cinnamon,
00:25:41.74\00:25:44.64
instead of cinnamon
00:25:44.67\00:25:46.01
what are we
gonna use, coriander.
00:25:46.04\00:25:48.58
Fantastic,
00:25:48.61\00:25:49.94
and these are delicate and
mild and easy on the system.
00:25:49.98\00:25:53.35
So at the same time
00:25:53.38\00:25:54.72
you're eating good healthy food,
00:25:54.75\00:25:56.85
you're not
hurting your body as well.
00:25:56.89\00:25:58.99
So it's up to you,
when I head to tell people,
00:25:59.02\00:26:00.96
"hey, you have to
do this, to do that."
00:26:00.99\00:26:02.72
Hey, it's your choice,
we're just here to educate,
00:26:02.76\00:26:04.59
that's a role,
00:26:04.63\00:26:06.56
and we're trying to
get a taste of paradise.
00:26:06.59\00:26:08.16
I remember as well,
00:26:08.20\00:26:09.53
I was going to go down
00:26:09.56\00:26:10.90
to there's this
island called Grenada.
00:26:10.93\00:26:14.20
I don't know if you all
know what I'm talking about.
00:26:14.24\00:26:16.10
In this island of Grenada,
00:26:16.14\00:26:18.07
I was gonna go
there and do a project
00:26:18.11\00:26:19.71
and everybody
started praying for me.
00:26:19.74\00:26:21.08
They said, "Nyse,
00:26:21.11\00:26:22.44
we're going to
pray for you," Why?
00:26:22.48\00:26:23.81
"Because you're going to Grenada
00:26:23.85\00:26:25.18
and tell them that
nutmeg is poisonous."
00:26:25.21\00:26:26.55
I said, I didn't say,
00:26:26.58\00:26:27.92
"Nutmeg is
poisonous, it has its purpose."
00:26:27.95\00:26:29.28
And so they started praying,
00:26:29.32\00:26:30.65
and I went down there
00:26:30.69\00:26:32.02
and I shared with
the people about nutmeg,
00:26:32.05\00:26:33.39
because Grenada is
known as the island of spies
00:26:33.42\00:26:35.09
that's where a lot
of nutmeg comes from.
00:26:35.12\00:26:36.46
And they said, "Oh,
Nyse, we already know that,
00:26:36.49\00:26:39.03
that's old news.
00:26:39.06\00:26:40.40
We don't eat it,
00:26:40.43\00:26:41.76
we just grow it and ship it
00:26:41.80\00:26:43.13
to everybody else in the world."
00:26:43.16\00:26:44.50
I said, "Oh, my goodness."
00:26:44.53\00:26:45.87
Look at that,
that is something else,
00:26:45.90\00:26:47.24
and so your choice,
00:26:47.27\00:26:49.74
cardamon instead of nutmeg,
00:26:49.77\00:26:51.37
coriander instead of cinnamon,
00:26:51.41\00:26:52.74
simple and easy.
00:26:52.77\00:26:54.11
What I'm going to do
now, have my pie crust here,
00:26:54.14\00:26:55.71
hold it out to
oven, it's ready to roll.
00:26:55.74\00:26:57.61
I'm just going
to take this fill in
00:26:57.65\00:26:59.28
and pour it in really nice,
00:26:59.31\00:27:01.85
really tasty and
simple for you there.
00:27:01.88\00:27:04.95
You can pour it
in a little more.
00:27:04.99\00:27:06.82
As you see I cut my
little pie crust there,
00:27:06.86\00:27:08.56
little too
short but that's fine,
00:27:08.59\00:27:09.92
because I'm going to
make a decoration with it.
00:27:09.96\00:27:11.29
You take that now,
00:27:11.33\00:27:12.66
you stick that in a
oven at about 60 minutes,
00:27:12.69\00:27:17.20
60 minutes on 350
00:27:17.23\00:27:19.07
and it should be good and
let me share this with you.
00:27:19.10\00:27:21.67
Let me share the
finished product.
00:27:21.70\00:27:24.91
This is amazing.
00:27:24.94\00:27:26.98
All right, this is what
we call our sweet potato pie,
00:27:27.01\00:27:31.41
sweet potato pie and a
lot of people enjoy this.
00:27:31.45\00:27:35.85
I will go ahead
00:27:35.88\00:27:37.32
and encourage you to give
it a try yourself take a slice.
00:27:37.35\00:27:40.36
Matter of fact if
you enjoy it so much,
00:27:40.39\00:27:42.06
go for another slice.
00:27:42.09\00:27:43.56
It's fine, you
already know what's in it,
00:27:43.59\00:27:45.93
it's healthy and
but here's the key,
00:27:45.96\00:27:48.36
don't tell anybody,
00:27:48.40\00:27:49.73
don't say I didn't
put this or put that.
00:27:49.76\00:27:51.10
Just put it out
and say, "Hey enjoy,
00:27:51.13\00:27:53.13
sweet potato pie for everybody."
00:27:53.17\00:27:54.50
And you'll be shocked,
00:27:54.54\00:27:55.87
