Have you ever wondered
00:00:01.33\00:00:02.66
exactly how to
prepare healthy food
00:00:02.70\00:00:04.03
that actually tastes good?
00:00:04.07\00:00:05.70
Well stay tuned
while Evita Tezeno
00:00:05.73\00:00:07.70
and yours truly Nyse Collins
00:00:07.74\00:00:09.20
show you just how to do it
00:00:09.24\00:00:10.67
and give you something better,
00:00:10.71\00:00:12.37
a taste of paradise.
00:00:12.41\00:00:13.98
Welcome to A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:30.73\00:00:32.79
My name is Evita Tezeno.
00:00:32.83\00:00:35.83
You know, we all love cheese,
00:00:35.86\00:00:39.10
cheese is the American food.
00:00:39.13\00:00:42.54
But cheese really don't like us.
00:00:42.57\00:00:45.64
Cheese is fermented,
00:00:45.67\00:00:48.54
it's really
rotten, it's rotten food,
00:00:48.58\00:00:51.65
and it's not really good for us.
00:00:51.68\00:00:54.15
But I have a cheese for
you that is plant based,
00:00:54.18\00:00:58.62
that does not come
from any animal products,
00:00:58.65\00:01:01.36
and it is delicious.
00:01:01.39\00:01:04.63
So the recipe,
the ingredients are:
00:01:04.66\00:01:08.03
Now today I'm using a Vitamix,
00:01:32.39\00:01:36.26
and all of these nuts
have been soaked overnight,
00:01:36.29\00:01:41.60
but you can soak
them for four hours,
00:01:41.63\00:01:43.06
like the recipe said.
00:01:43.10\00:01:45.27
These are macadamia nuts,
00:01:45.30\00:01:48.20
and these are
almonds that have been,
00:01:48.24\00:01:50.91
the skin has
been taken off of it.
00:01:50.94\00:01:52.84
One cup of water,
00:01:58.08\00:01:59.65
and I add the tahini
00:02:03.52\00:02:06.29
which is a great
source of calcium,
00:02:06.32\00:02:12.89
and we're blending.
00:02:12.93\00:02:14.30
And we want to make
sure that is smooth,
00:02:45.96\00:02:49.46
and here's the fun part now.
00:02:49.50\00:02:50.97
So now we take the
mixture of the almonds
00:02:54.30\00:02:57.97
and the macadamia nuts
and we place it in a strainer
00:02:58.01\00:03:02.01
that has cheese cloth
00:03:02.04\00:03:03.95
and you want the
bowl underneath it
00:03:03.98\00:03:05.75
to get the drippings.
00:03:05.78\00:03:07.22
This is so much fun to make.
00:03:12.32\00:03:14.62
I make this all the time
00:03:14.66\00:03:17.13
and I keep it in my
refrigerator at all times.
00:03:17.16\00:03:22.16
'Cause before I
became a total vegetarian,
00:03:22.20\00:03:26.07
I loved cheese.
00:03:26.10\00:03:28.54
But I suffered from
migraines a whole lot
00:03:28.57\00:03:31.67
and when I started
studying and reading,
00:03:31.71\00:03:34.18
I learnt that cheese was
one of the main culprits.
00:03:34.24\00:03:38.65
So I took it out of my diet
00:03:38.68\00:03:41.68
and I still needed
that cheesy craving,
00:03:41.72\00:03:44.29
I still had a cheesy craving.
00:03:44.32\00:03:46.45
So when I found this
recipe, oh I was so, so excited.
00:03:46.49\00:03:52.09
So now we take this
mixture in the cheese cloth
00:03:56.46\00:04:00.67
and we twirl it
around like this.
00:04:04.84\00:04:08.61
And I came up with
this little contraption,
00:04:08.64\00:04:10.75
this is a bowl,
00:04:10.78\00:04:13.72
put this and this is a
jar that I have pennies in.
00:04:13.75\00:04:18.35
it's very heavy,
00:04:18.39\00:04:19.72
I think it weighs
about maybe four pounds,
00:04:19.75\00:04:22.39
maybe not that much, but maybe.
00:04:22.42\00:04:24.76
And place this and
you would notice that
00:04:24.79\00:04:29.13
the liquid is getting ready to,
00:04:29.16\00:04:34.64
is coming out of the bottom.
00:04:34.67\00:04:36.81
And you want to sit this in
your refrigerator overnight.
00:04:36.87\00:04:39.71
So this is the
product that has been sitting
00:04:47.08\00:04:52.45
in the refrigerator overnight.
00:04:52.49\00:04:56.79
Look it's cheese, it's
like soft cream cheese.
00:04:56.83\00:05:01.73
Isn't that amazing?
00:05:01.76\00:05:05.63
Now what I want to do
now is combine yeast flakes,
00:05:05.67\00:05:12.37
lemon juice,
00:05:12.41\00:05:15.24
salt,
00:05:15.28\00:05:17.78
and maple syrup
00:05:17.81\00:05:20.95
'cause you know you need
that salt and that sweet taste.
00:05:20.98\00:05:25.62
And you combine this
00:05:25.65\00:05:27.72
and you want to make sure
00:05:34.93\00:05:36.26
that you stir
it very thoroughly,
00:05:36.30\00:05:40.10
you're mixing
all the ingredients.
00:05:40.14\00:05:42.07
Now after the
ingredients are all mixed,
00:05:48.64\00:05:51.28
you want to take,
00:05:54.42\00:05:55.95
this is a spring form pan
00:05:55.98\00:05:59.89
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
00:06:26.38\00:06:30.19
all the pA¢tA(C)
in this container.
00:06:30.22\00:06:35.89
And then you want to cover it
00:06:38.99\00:06:40.90
and set a weight on top of it,
00:06:45.27\00:06:47.10
in your refrigerator overnight.
00:06:47.14\00:06:49.74
And
00:06:53.34\00:06:54.68
here is the finished product.
00:06:57.91\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.
00:07:15.60\00:07:18.67
I can't wait, I can't wait.
00:07:18.70\00:07:20.74
Mmm,
00:07:24.37\00:07:27.18
this is so good.
00:07:27.21\00:07:29.58
Now if you want extra firmness,
00:07:29.61\00:07:33.55
you can dehydrate this overnight
00:07:33.62\00:07:37.65
and it gets more firm,
00:07:37.69\00:07:41.09
or you can serve it like it is.
00:07:41.12\00:07:43.16
This could be spread
on crackers, on bread,
00:07:43.19\00:07:47.96
and you can also spread it on,
00:07:47.96\00:07:50.77
as a bottom for pizza.
00:07:50.83\00:07:54.54
This is a great recipe.
00:07:54.57\00:07:59.14
Remember,
00:07:59.17\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
00:08:17.46\00:08:18.79
she's going to make
some sweet potato pie.
00:08:18.83\00:08:20.43
I don't know about
you all but I used to love
00:08:20.46\00:08:22.43
when grandma used to
make that sweet potato pie,
00:08:22.46\00:08:24.90
because it's so
delicious, so tasty.
00:08:24.93\00:08:27.27
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\00:08:32.61
But as I started
to grow old, you know,
00:08:32.64\00:08:34.81
this happened long time
ago when I used to be young,
00:08:34.84\00:08:36.64
before you all were around.
00:08:36.68\00:08:38.08
As we look at what it was
00:08:38.11\00:08:40.52
actually put into
that sweet potato,
00:08:40.55\00:08:42.32
she did pretty good,
00:08:42.35\00:08:43.69
she had a couple
of extra ingredients,
00:08:43.72\00:08:45.05
you know, that probably
was a little questionable.
00:08:45.09\00:08:46.89
But hey, it was delicious.
00:08:46.96\00:08:48.86
So today we're going
to make a sweet potato pie
00:08:48.89\00:08:51.09
that's actually helpful, tasty,
00:08:51.13\00:08:53.60
and man, if you want
seconds, go right ahead,
00:08:53.63\00:08:55.96
don't worry about it,
00:08:56.00\00:08:57.33
you won't have to hit
a extra lap on the track
00:08:57.37\00:08:59.87
or anything of that
nature, but why sweet potatoes,
00:08:59.90\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
00:09:07.51\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\00:09:17.52
It is very good for the body,
00:09:17.55\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\00:09:28.06
because of the
items that it contains,
00:09:28.10\00:09:30.17
it helps to protect the
inner lining of your arteries,
00:09:30.20\00:09:34.40
you know, that inner lining
00:09:34.44\00:09:35.77
where cholesterol
loves to hang out.
00:09:35.80\00:09:37.21
And build up and block
stuff and heart attacks
00:09:37.24\00:09:39.67
and stuff of that nature.
00:09:39.71\00:09:41.04
And it's also helpful
00:09:41.08\00:09:42.41
as it protects the inner lining,
00:09:42.44\00:09:43.78
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\00:09:48.18
So enjoy sweet potatoes.
00:09:48.22\00:09:49.55
Why else are
sweet potatoes good?
00:09:49.58\00:09:51.19
It has certain
irons, which is helpful,
00:09:51.22\00:09:53.19
also that it gives you a like,
not false sense of fullness,
00:09:53.22\00:09:57.69
but actually it causes
you to feel really full,
00:09:57.73\00:10:01.03
and for several hours at a time.
00:10:01.06\00:10:03.20
So when in doubt,
00:10:03.23\00:10:04.57
if you leaving
your house you're like,
00:10:04.60\00:10:05.93
"Man, I need to eat something,"
00:10:05.97\00:10:07.30
that is good,
that will hold me over.
00:10:07.34\00:10:08.94
You better grab
some sweet potato.
00:10:08.97\00:10:11.11
Why not even grab a
slice of your sweet potato pie,
00:10:11.14\00:10:13.44
who knew, that
this pie will be so good
00:10:13.48\00:10:15.44
for all of these items.
00:10:15.48\00:10:16.81
What else is it good for?
00:10:16.85\00:10:18.18
A person who is
looking to balance
00:10:18.21\00:10:19.55
some of their blessings.
00:10:19.58\00:10:20.92
Hey, this is where is that,
00:10:20.95\00:10:22.28
why, because it
keeps you fuller for longer
00:10:22.32\00:10:24.35
and because it has
not as much calories
00:10:24.39\00:10:27.32
as you would get from
some of the other items
00:10:27.36\00:10:29.26
that we can buy
from you know they say,
00:10:29.29\00:10:31.23
fast food, you eat fast
food you live a fast life,
00:10:31.26\00:10:33.86
here today, going tonight.
00:10:33.90\00:10:35.20
So we want to be
here tomorrow as well.
00:10:35.23\00:10:37.23
So go ahead enjoy this
and we're going to go ahead
00:10:37.30\00:10:40.37
and show you how to make,
you can't just make the pie,
00:10:40.40\00:10:42.37
you got to have
that crust as well.
00:10:42.40\00:10:44.07
So we're going to
start off with the crust,
00:10:44.14\00:10:45.47
and then we're gonna go ahead
and fill it up with the pie.
00:10:45.51\00:10:47.51
Here's the ingredients
to this delicious crust.
00:10:47.54\00:10:50.48
All you need is:
00:10:50.51\00:10:51.85
Now who can't do that,
00:11:07.93\00:11:09.50
that's like the easiest
pie crust around the town.
00:11:09.53\00:11:12.17
Everybody can do it.
00:11:12.20\00:11:13.54
No need to go
and buy it anymore,
00:11:13.60\00:11:15.44
because when we start
looking at the ingredients
00:11:15.47\00:11:17.07
on some of those
pie crusts we buy,
00:11:17.11\00:11:18.44
it is danger,
danger, stay away, beware,
00:11:18.47\00:11:21.91
it tastes good.
00:11:21.94\00:11:23.31
But, you know,
00:11:23.35\00:11:24.68
what the bad part of it is
00:11:24.71\00:11:27.02
or what are the
results from eating this.
00:11:27.08\00:11:28.82
So we're going to show
you how to dish this up.
00:11:28.85\00:11:30.89
So right here, in my bowl
00:11:30.95\00:11:32.65
all I have is the
whole wheat flour there.
00:11:32.69\00:11:34.92
We're going to go ahead
00:11:34.96\00:11:36.42
and we're going to add
some of that cane sugar.
00:11:36.46\00:11:38.89
Now real quick, if
you don't have cane sugar,
00:11:38.93\00:11:41.83
if you notice I'm using little
more cane sugar lately with
00:11:41.86\00:11:43.60
and I'm gonna go ahead
00:11:43.63\00:11:44.97
and just put in a
salt and I mix that,
00:11:45.00\00:11:46.33
I'll tell you
about the cane sugar.
00:11:46.37\00:11:47.74
We will us a little
more cane sugar why,
00:11:47.77\00:11:50.04
because it's
readily available now,
00:11:50.07\00:11:52.47
everybody has access to it.
00:11:52.51\00:11:54.31
But if you notice in the recipe,
00:11:54.34\00:11:56.58
we shared with you that
you can easily use molasses.
00:11:56.61\00:11:59.68
Molasses is fantastic,
00:11:59.71\00:12:01.52
a matter of fact
molasses is loaded
00:12:01.55\00:12:04.29
with a lot of good iron
00:12:04.32\00:12:05.72
as magnesium and potassium
00:12:05.75\00:12:08.29
and this thing is amazing.
00:12:08.32\00:12:10.06
Even better than
molasses is blackstrap molasses,
00:12:10.13\00:12:13.63
which have triple the amount
of regular molasses of calcium.
00:12:13.70\00:12:17.13
You looking to have
strong healthy bones,
00:12:17.17\00:12:18.97
right here, molasses,
00:12:19.00\00:12:20.34
I'm going ahead and
advertising for that.
00:12:20.40\00:12:22.30
But hey, enjoy the molasses,
00:12:22.34\00:12:24.07
we used to give this
molasses to the cows,
00:12:24.11\00:12:26.57
and to the chickens and stuff
00:12:26.64\00:12:27.98
and they're walking along
a big strong healthy bones,
00:12:28.01\00:12:29.94
while our bones are
crumbling to pieces.
00:12:30.01\00:12:32.28
Take it back from the
cow and eat it yourself.
00:12:32.31\00:12:35.02
And a matter of fact a
lot of people don't like it,
00:12:35.05\00:12:36.99
because it kind of
tastes strong a bit.
00:12:37.05\00:12:39.29
But you can do
it now in the crust
00:12:39.32\00:12:41.32
so you can enjoy it,
00:12:41.36\00:12:42.69
while you're enjoying
your sweet potato pie.
00:12:42.72\00:12:44.09
Then what we're
going to do, as you notice,
00:12:44.13\00:12:46.26
I have to go ahead and put down,
00:12:46.29\00:12:47.66
now we're going to get
our hands into the mix here.
00:12:47.73\00:12:49.60
We're going to go ahead,
00:12:49.63\00:12:50.97
and we're going
to take that butter
00:12:51.00\00:12:52.33
or the soy butter.
00:12:52.37\00:12:53.70
Let me just grab
a little spoon here,
00:12:53.77\00:12:55.50
and we gotta put that in
00:12:55.54\00:12:56.87
and we're going to
mix this up properly
00:12:56.94\00:12:58.64
and so almost like a crumble
or something of that nature.
00:12:58.67\00:13:01.81
So get as much as you can there.
00:13:01.84\00:13:04.45
If you have the better butter
00:13:04.48\00:13:05.91
hey, try better butter as well,
00:13:05.95\00:13:07.55
if you don't
have the soy butter.
00:13:07.62\00:13:09.95
Go ahead and mix that up nicely.
00:13:09.98\00:13:12.79
I used to love doing
this, and a matter of fact,
00:13:12.82\00:13:14.99
I encourage you all to
get your children involved.
00:13:15.02\00:13:18.69
A lot of time the
kids are just sitting
00:13:18.73\00:13:20.40
and they're playing
all these video games
00:13:20.43\00:13:22.20
and they're talking about,
"Mom, when is the food ready?"
00:13:22.23\00:13:23.63
"What?
00:13:23.67\00:13:25.00
You want some food,
00:13:25.03\00:13:26.37
come and get it
yourself, make it yourself."
00:13:26.40\00:13:27.74
Go ahead and let them come.
00:13:27.77\00:13:29.10
I remember the good old days,
we used to just make a mess,
00:13:29.14\00:13:31.54
flour all over the place.
00:13:31.57\00:13:33.44
We got a couple
slaps on the head, now,
00:13:33.48\00:13:35.71
I shouldn't say that too loud,
00:13:35.74\00:13:37.45
I don't want Child
Services to go after my mom.
00:13:37.51\00:13:39.21
But hey, we had the best
time, it was the best memories
00:13:39.25\00:13:42.38
and as a result now today,
00:13:42.42\00:13:43.79
I can share some of
these recipes with you.
00:13:43.85\00:13:45.82
So please get the
children involved.
00:13:45.85\00:13:48.26
Can you imagine
they're making their own cakes
00:13:48.29\00:13:50.53
and stuff of that nature?
00:13:50.59\00:13:52.06
Please, don't
waste and turn off the TV
00:13:52.09\00:13:54.73
come into the VIP room
00:13:54.76\00:13:56.46
and make some
good sweet potato pies
00:13:56.50\00:13:59.23
as they're always asking for it.
00:13:59.27\00:14:00.74
Then what you do,
after you mix that up,
00:14:00.77\00:14:03.30
you take that
nice ice-cold water,
00:14:03.34\00:14:05.17
I hope it's still cold.
00:14:05.21\00:14:06.54
And you pour that over
there, and you're gonna,
00:14:06.57\00:14:09.61
it's going to give you
some more consistency there.
00:14:09.64\00:14:13.05
Okay, then we're gonna
make into a nice little ball
00:14:13.08\00:14:16.89
in a second here.
00:14:16.92\00:14:18.52
As you notice this is starting
to come together nicely,
00:14:18.55\00:14:20.96
this is your crust.
00:14:20.99\00:14:22.72
Now, I know we could have
went and we could've bought it,
00:14:22.76\00:14:25.03
but now, you can
do it almost for free
00:14:25.06\00:14:27.93
and you don't have to
worry about what's in it.
00:14:27.96\00:14:29.83
And so nicely as you
see here, you have your,
00:14:29.86\00:14:33.94
your dough or your crust,
00:14:34.00\00:14:36.30
and then what we're gonna to do,
00:14:36.34\00:14:37.67
we're going to move this over,
we're gonna take some flour,
00:14:37.71\00:14:39.91
we're gonna lay it out there.
00:14:39.94\00:14:41.44
I know we're in the kitchen,
don't worry if you make a mess,
00:14:41.48\00:14:44.35
it's okay, it's okay.
00:14:44.38\00:14:46.61
You spent all the money
on this kitchen, so what,
00:14:46.68\00:14:48.75
keep it perfectly
clean, use it one person said.
00:14:48.78\00:14:53.25
And so you, you put that there
00:14:53.32\00:14:56.36
and we have our
roller pin in a second
00:14:56.39\00:14:58.06
because we're
gonna roll this out.
00:14:58.09\00:14:59.43
And oh, man, I'm thinking,
00:14:59.46\00:15:03.06
I'm gonna want to
make some bread after this.
00:15:03.10\00:15:04.80
So as you see them, you
put some more flour there,
00:15:04.83\00:15:08.90
and I went ahead and I
just put all the water,
00:15:08.94\00:15:11.14
if you put less even
better, but go ahead.
00:15:11.17\00:15:15.84
And mix that there and hey,
00:15:15.88\00:15:18.35
now you can
practice a little massage
00:15:18.38\00:15:20.32
at the same time,
00:15:20.35\00:15:22.15
I'm sure your spouse or
whoever would enjoy that.
00:15:22.18\00:15:26.86
You put just a little bit
more, and then we just roll it,
00:15:26.89\00:15:31.33
as you can see it's
pretty much there already.
00:15:31.36\00:15:35.06
Just roll it out
nicely, not too much,
00:15:35.10\00:15:38.37
we're not making roti
or anything, or burritos,
00:15:38.40\00:15:41.60
or tortillas, so
just take it easy there.
00:15:41.64\00:15:47.44
Actually this is
really, really, really good.
00:15:47.48\00:15:52.81
Now the messy part is gonna
come up now here in a second.
00:15:52.85\00:15:55.22
I just want to make enough,
00:15:55.25\00:15:56.58
so it fits into my
into my bacon dish.
00:15:56.65\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\00:16:09.43
but you've got to do it wise.
00:16:09.46\00:16:10.80
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\00:16:15.80
You put it right there on top.
00:16:15.84\00:16:18.81
It is the part
00:16:18.84\00:16:21.81
and then, you just flip it.
00:16:21.84\00:16:25.21
One, two, three.
00:16:25.25\00:16:29.15
Yippy!
00:16:29.18\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\00:16:35.42
Sometimes it will fold over,
but you should be fine here.
00:16:35.46\00:16:38.46
And then you
have your crust you,
00:16:38.49\00:16:40.13
you take off all of these parts.
00:16:40.20\00:16:42.56
And don't waste
anything you can take that
00:16:42.60\00:16:45.33
and make a cool design.
00:16:45.37\00:16:47.14
I'm not gonna
do that here today,
00:16:47.20\00:16:49.10
but you have your crust here,
very nice and easy to make.
00:16:49.14\00:16:52.44
Maybe you can use this
for decorations on top.
00:16:52.47\00:16:55.58
So don't throw that
away, save that for later.
00:16:55.61\00:16:57.95
And voila, we
have our pie crust,
00:16:57.98\00:17:00.75
you're gonna take this now,
00:17:00.78\00:17:02.12
you gonna put it
in oven for about
00:17:02.15\00:17:03.62
5, 10, 20, 15
minutes on medium heat,
00:17:03.65\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,
00:17:10.56\00:17:13.06
not the pumpkin, look at that.
00:17:13.09\00:17:14.40
I'm still talking about pumpkin,
00:17:14.46\00:17:15.80
sweet potato pie
filling, all right.
00:17:15.83\00:17:17.77
So we're going to move
on to that next one now.
00:17:17.80\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\00:17:25.34
Now I know you all are thinking,
00:17:47.00\00:17:48.30
wait a second.
00:17:48.33\00:17:49.66
That's not how grandma made it
00:17:49.70\00:17:51.03
for our sweet
eyes and our sweet soup
00:17:51.07\00:17:53.13
and I know she put a
little extra ingredients,
00:17:53.17\00:17:55.74
more sugar,
more this, more that,
00:17:55.77\00:17:57.77
but we don't have
to do that no more.
00:17:57.81\00:17:59.21
And we can still get
some of the same effect
00:17:59.24\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.
00:18:10.72\00:18:12.05
I went ahead and
cut one and half.
00:18:12.09\00:18:13.42
This thing is amazing.
00:18:13.46\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\00:18:21.23
So one person said
God has a sweet tooth too
00:18:21.26\00:18:23.03
and that's why He
made sweet potato pie.
00:18:23.06\00:18:25.67
I don't know if He
made the sweet potato pie,
00:18:25.70\00:18:27.04
but I know He
made the sweet potato.
00:18:27.07\00:18:28.40
Amen.
00:18:28.44\00:18:29.77
And so we have a sweet potato.
00:18:29.80\00:18:31.14
All you need to do is cut up.
00:18:31.17\00:18:32.51
You're going to need
about a couple of cups of that.
00:18:32.54\00:18:34.78
So you just cut
them up really nice,
00:18:34.81\00:18:38.35
there you go and
get them rolling.
00:18:38.38\00:18:42.12
Let me tell you also why these
sweet potato is an amazing item
00:18:42.15\00:18:47.56
that we can enjoy
is because watch this.
00:18:47.59\00:18:51.46
Anybody ever felt hungry before,
00:18:51.49\00:18:54.10
the reason why you feel hungry,
00:18:54.20\00:18:55.50
and I'm gonna take these
00:18:55.53\00:18:56.87
and I'm going to
put them in the pot,
00:18:56.93\00:18:58.27
all right.
00:18:58.30\00:18:59.63
The reason why you
feel hungry is because
00:18:59.67\00:19:01.07
sometimes you need
a little extra fats
00:19:01.10\00:19:03.37
in your foods, right.
00:19:03.44\00:19:04.77
And your body's
craving for this.
00:19:04.81\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\00:19:10.88
that's why when
you're driving on a road
00:19:10.91\00:19:12.38
and you look up and you
see all these billboards.
00:19:12.41\00:19:14.35
They don't just show you like,
00:19:14.38\00:19:15.72
"Oh, we're offering
you today a nice salad
00:19:15.75\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\00:19:20.89
your body looking for what?
00:19:20.92\00:19:22.26
For fatty foods
00:19:22.29\00:19:24.06
to get the craving
out of the way, right.
00:19:24.09\00:19:28.93
So when you drive,
00:19:28.96\00:19:30.30
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\00:19:34.24
And you'll drive and
you'd all of sudden notice
00:19:34.27\00:19:37.01
your arms are starting to turn
00:19:37.04\00:19:38.67
and you're like,
"Lord, what's going on?"
00:19:38.71\00:19:40.41
Is your body turning
you into that drive through,
00:19:40.48\00:19:42.71
because they wants
the fat, all right.
00:19:42.74\00:19:45.38
Now let's look at
what sweet potatoes do.
00:19:45.41\00:19:47.92
Do you know sweet
potatoes, when you eat it,
00:19:47.95\00:19:50.09
it goes ahead and
say, how do I say,
00:19:50.12\00:19:53.56
it meets the same
craving that you have,
00:19:53.59\00:19:56.93
but equal,
almost equal to our fat.
00:19:56.96\00:19:59.19
Let me explain
a little bit more.
00:19:59.23\00:20:00.60
It satisfies you,
00:20:00.63\00:20:02.56
just like fats will satisfy you.
00:20:02.60\00:20:05.13
And that's why a
lot of people enjoy this
00:20:05.17\00:20:07.64
and use this to help
balance the blessing.
00:20:07.67\00:20:09.80
And I know, we all want
to balance that blessing
00:20:09.84\00:20:11.94
and so that's why we
keep that sweet potato around
00:20:11.97\00:20:13.84
make sure this is
one of the staple foods
00:20:13.88\00:20:15.78
in your VIP room,
00:20:15.81\00:20:17.91
because this is fantastic.
00:20:17.95\00:20:19.28
However let's call
a timeout, or we say,
00:20:19.31\00:20:21.72
we should be eating
sweet potato everyday
00:20:21.75\00:20:23.08
for the rest of our life.
00:20:23.12\00:20:24.45
No, because, your body
still needs the fat, okay.
00:20:24.49\00:20:26.96
So what do you do?
00:20:27.02\00:20:28.36
You have a sweet
potato, you make a nice little,
00:20:28.39\00:20:30.39
you do a nut cheese,
00:20:30.43\00:20:33.50
and you already saw
what Evita did there.
00:20:33.56\00:20:35.43
So you can have
the sweet potato,
00:20:35.46\00:20:37.20
put that, that
nice cheese over it,
00:20:37.23\00:20:39.57
because those nuts contain what,
00:20:39.60\00:20:41.44
fats which is necessary.
00:20:41.47\00:20:43.17
So you are getting the one,
two double whammy to hunger,
00:20:43.20\00:20:46.91
hunger should not exist anymore.
00:20:46.94\00:20:49.04
And we're going to balance
our blessings as a result.
00:20:49.08\00:20:51.41
So you put those
items in the pot.
00:20:51.45\00:20:53.25
You go ahead and you boil
it till it's nice and soft,
00:20:53.28\00:20:57.05
if you want to remove the skin.
00:20:57.12\00:20:58.45
Hey, cool, me,
00:20:58.49\00:20:59.92
I just keep the skin
00:21:00.06\00:21:01.72
and you remember
the little principle,
00:21:01.76\00:21:03.09
that we share or you
get a chance to learn,
00:21:03.12\00:21:05.26
if it goes in rough,
00:21:05.29\00:21:06.70
that usually is doing a good job
00:21:06.73\00:21:08.03
because, you know,
00:21:08.06\00:21:09.40
what happens it
comes out nice and smooth.
00:21:09.43\00:21:11.90
As you see there,
as the fury, but oh,
00:21:11.93\00:21:14.50
no I'm not saying that
this is what comes out,
00:21:14.54\00:21:15.87
all right.
00:21:15.90\00:21:17.27
So go ahead and you make
that then when it's finished.
00:21:17.31\00:21:20.84
Just for the sake of time,
00:21:20.88\00:21:22.21
we don't have time to boil
it and cooking all that stuff.
00:21:22.24\00:21:24.25
We went ahead and I
made some here for you.
00:21:24.28\00:21:26.58
This is the a.k.a.
00:21:26.61\00:21:28.58
sweet potato puree
that I was talking about.
00:21:28.62\00:21:30.89
So you just make sure
00:21:30.95\00:21:32.29
that is mashed
together properly,
00:21:32.32\00:21:33.86
then you go ahead now,
00:21:33.92\00:21:35.86
and you add the extra
ingredients that we mentioned.
00:21:35.89\00:21:38.96
We have the soy milk,
00:21:38.99\00:21:41.06
let's say you
don't have soy milk,
00:21:41.10\00:21:43.13
but I have some
nuts in the house,
00:21:43.16\00:21:44.97
put in almond milk,
00:21:45.00\00:21:46.33
put in cashew
milk, or walnut milk,
00:21:46.37\00:21:48.50
real simple one cup of
nuts to one cup of what,
00:21:48.54\00:21:51.07
you blend till
it's nice and creamy,
00:21:51.11\00:21:52.47
then you add three
more cups of water,
00:21:52.51\00:21:53.84
voila, milk done.
00:21:53.91\00:21:55.48
All right, then we
have the maple syrup.
00:21:55.51\00:21:59.31
As we have there or honey
00:21:59.35\00:22:02.88
or you decide what you have,
00:22:02.92\00:22:06.22
one of the biggest down force
00:22:06.25\00:22:09.29
of people trying to
live a healthy lifestyle,
00:22:09.32\00:22:11.29
is they don't have
all of the ingredients
00:22:11.33\00:22:14.10
that should never
be our situation here.
00:22:14.10\00:22:16.77
So as you see you
got to work it through,
00:22:16.83\00:22:19.10
work it through, be faithful,
00:22:19.13\00:22:21.24
it's gonna come together here.
00:22:21.27\00:22:23.27
So I just mix that up nicely.
00:22:23.30\00:22:25.17
Another way that you can do in
00:22:25.21\00:22:27.14
is you can put
it in the blender,
00:22:27.18\00:22:29.08
okay, but I don't
have time for no blender.
00:22:29.11\00:22:32.31
Why use a blender
when I can do it myself.
00:22:32.35\00:22:34.28
So I'm going to mix
that in there nicely,
00:22:34.32\00:22:36.08
but I'm also going to add
00:22:36.12\00:22:37.45
the rest of the
remaining ingredients here.
00:22:37.49\00:22:40.52
We have the sea salt
and also our nice flavor,
00:22:40.56\00:22:47.03
and I have to tell
you about this here,
00:22:47.10\00:22:49.63
lot of people
enjoy that they say,
00:22:49.66\00:22:51.90
"Well, my grandma went ahead
00:22:51.93\00:22:53.70
and she added cinnamon
00:22:53.77\00:22:56.27
and she added nutmeg and
she added this and that."
00:22:56.30\00:22:59.57
Yes, she probably
added all those items,
00:22:59.61\00:23:01.44
but then you wondering why
00:23:01.48\00:23:02.98
the blood pressure is
starting to creep up on you,
00:23:03.01\00:23:04.88
you wondering why,
00:23:04.91\00:23:06.25
you know the
stomach is just bubbling,
00:23:06.28\00:23:07.75
you know what I'm talking about
00:23:07.78\00:23:09.12
because the cinnamon
00:23:09.15\00:23:10.49
and nutmeg are known
as per se spices, right.
00:23:10.52\00:23:12.42
When I stand up,
they're by per se.
00:23:12.45\00:23:14.62
I know many people share that
cinnamon is good for diabetes
00:23:14.66\00:23:18.73
and there may be
studies that show that,
00:23:18.76\00:23:20.50
but at the same time
because it's the spice,
00:23:20.53\00:23:22.40
it's going to slowly,
00:23:22.43\00:23:23.77
but surely start to irritate
the lining of the stomach.
00:23:23.83\00:23:25.97
So what do we use
instead of cinnamon?
00:23:26.00\00:23:27.74
We use coriander, okay.
00:23:27.77\00:23:31.04
Well, what about nutmeg
00:23:31.07\00:23:33.34
they say, you
know, I love nutmeg.
00:23:33.38\00:23:35.44
Matter of fact, I
remember one time,
00:23:35.48\00:23:37.21
I was making a porridge,
00:23:37.25\00:23:38.65
y'all know what porridge is,
00:23:38.68\00:23:40.02
the oatmeal and
stuff of that nature.
00:23:40.08\00:23:41.42
And I remember my
mom always used to
00:23:41.45\00:23:43.15
when she made that porridge.
00:23:43.18\00:23:44.55
She always go over the pot
00:23:44.59\00:23:46.39
and she take the
little nutmeg item
00:23:46.42\00:23:48.42
and she lean over
and she go chuk, chuk.
00:23:48.46\00:23:50.79
And then she just leave it alone
00:23:50.83\00:23:52.53
and then keep
mixing, I'm like man.
00:23:52.56\00:23:54.30
If that nutmeg makes
everything taste so good,
00:23:54.30\00:23:57.20
why don't we add more?
00:23:57.23\00:23:58.57
So what did I do?
00:23:58.60\00:24:00.04
One day, I always say
my mom is my girl friend,
00:24:00.07\00:24:01.64
so I'm cooking for my
girlfriend, my mother.
00:24:01.67\00:24:03.81
And I'm making it
and I said I remember
00:24:03.84\00:24:05.87
she added this extra ingredient,
00:24:05.91\00:24:07.28
this little nutmeg,
00:24:07.31\00:24:08.64
and I went and
I grabbed a nutmeg
00:24:08.68\00:24:10.15
and I got over the porridge
00:24:10.18\00:24:11.61
and I went chuk,
chuk, chuk, chuk,chuk.
00:24:11.65\00:24:13.35
I said, "Let me add some extra,
so it can taste even better."
00:24:13.42\00:24:16.82
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\00:24:22.76
She just gave me a
little touch and she said,
00:24:22.79\00:24:24.16
"You're trying to kill us,
00:24:24.23\00:24:25.69
why you're
putting so much nutmeg."
00:24:25.73\00:24:27.30
I said, "Mom, I'm
trying to take care of you,
00:24:27.30\00:24:29.50
and I'm getting
beat up for this.
00:24:29.53\00:24:30.87
She said, "No, no, no
00:24:30.93\00:24:32.27
you're not
supposed to put so much."
00:24:32.30\00:24:33.64
So she took a
spoon and dipped it up.
00:24:33.67\00:24:35.00
But I never understood why.
00:24:35.04\00:24:36.37
Let me explain a
little bit about this nutmeg.
00:24:36.40\00:24:38.41
Nutmeg, this is a good item.
00:24:38.44\00:24:41.31
It has its purpose, okay,
00:24:41.34\00:24:42.88
just like
cinnamon has its purpose.
00:24:42.91\00:24:44.71
But nutmeg as
they show it contains
00:24:44.75\00:24:47.58
what is known as
00:24:47.62\00:24:48.95
a toxic alkaloid core
called myristicin, all right.
00:24:48.98\00:24:51.69
Don't worry about it,
just go online look it up,
00:24:51.72\00:24:53.46
or something like that.
00:24:53.52\00:24:54.86
And what it does,
00:24:54.89\00:24:56.22
it has a narcotic
effect on the brain.
00:24:56.26\00:24:59.29
What?
00:24:59.33\00:25:00.83
The brain, narcotic,
00:25:00.86\00:25:02.63
wait a second, let
me call a time out.
00:25:02.66\00:25:04.00
Did I say
helpful effect or what?
00:25:04.07\00:25:06.40
A narcotic effect on the brain.
00:25:06.43\00:25:09.07
And what I have shown is that
00:25:09.10\00:25:10.61
it actually depresses
the central nervous system.
00:25:10.64\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\00:25:17.65
not be depressed.
00:25:17.68\00:25:19.25
And so as a
result it is advisable,
00:25:19.28\00:25:22.58
you know the nutmeg
00:25:22.62\00:25:23.99
and I may still
hold off on that,
00:25:24.02\00:25:25.42
they have their
purpose you know mace
00:25:25.45\00:25:26.79
or whatever of that nature,
00:25:26.86\00:25:28.66
and nutmeg actually
works as a good medicine.
00:25:28.69\00:25:31.93
However, I'm not sick
so why am I using nutmeg?
00:25:31.96\00:25:34.36
So people say, "What do
I use instead of nutmeg?"
00:25:34.40\00:25:36.23
I suppose it's not,
00:25:36.26\00:25:37.60
we're not here
trying to substitute items,
00:25:37.63\00:25:38.97
but you can use what
is known as cardamon,
00:25:39.00\00:25:41.64
cardamon instead of
nutmeg and for cinnamon,
00:25:41.67\00:25:44.57
instead of cinnamon
00:25:44.61\00:25:45.94
what are we
gonna use, coriander.
00:25:45.97\00:25:48.51
Fantastic,
00:25:48.54\00:25:49.88
and these are delicate and
mild and easy on the system.
00:25:49.91\00:25:53.28
So at the same time
00:25:53.31\00:25:54.65
you're eating good healthy food,
00:25:54.68\00:25:56.79
you're not
hurting your body as well.
00:25:56.85\00:25:58.92
So it's up to you,
when I head to tell people,
00:25:58.95\00:26:00.99
"hey, you have to
do this, to do that."
00:26:01.02\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\00:26:08.13
I remember as well,
00:26:08.16\00:26:09.50
I was going to go down
00:26:09.53\00:26:10.87
to there's this
island called Grenada.
00:26:10.90\00:26:14.17
I don't know if you all
know what I'm talking about.
00:26:14.24\00:26:16.07
In this island of Grenada,
00:26:16.10\00:26:18.04
I was gonna go
there and do a project
00:26:18.07\00:26:19.67
and everybody
started praying for me.
00:26:19.71\00:26:21.04
They said, "Nyse,
00:26:21.08\00:26:22.41
we're going to
pray for you," Why?
00:26:22.44\00:26:23.78
"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\00:26:35.06
that's where a lot
of nutmeg comes from.
00:26:35.09\00:26:36.42
And they said, "Oh,
Nyse, we already know that,
00:26:36.46\00:26:38.99
that's old news.
00:26:39.03\00:26:40.40
We don't eat it,
00:26:40.43\00:26:41.73
we just grow it and ship it
00:26:41.76\00:26:43.10
to everybody else in the world."
00:26:43.13\00:26:44.47
I said, "Oh, my goodness."
00:26:44.50\00:26:45.83
Look at that,
that is something else,
00:26:45.87\00:26:47.20
and so your choice,
00:26:47.24\00:26:49.67
cardamon instead of nutmeg,
00:26:49.70\00:26:51.31
coriander instead of cinnamon,
00:26:51.34\00:26:52.67
simple and easy.
00:26:52.71\00:26:54.04
What I'm going to do
now, have my pie crust here,
00:26:54.08\00:26:55.64
hold it out to
oven, it's ready to roll.
00:26:55.68\00:26:57.55
I'm just going
to take this fill in
00:26:57.61\00:26:59.21
and pour it in really nice,
00:26:59.25\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,
00:27:06.89\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\00:27:17.17
60 minutes on 350
00:27:17.20\00:27:19.03
and it should be good and
let me share this with you.
00:27:19.07\00:27:21.64
Let me share the
finished product.
00:27:21.67\00:27:24.87
This is amazing.
00:27:24.91\00:27:26.98
All right, this is what
we call our sweet potato pie,
00:27:27.01\00:27:31.38
sweet potato pie and a
lot of people enjoy this.
00:27:31.41\00:27:35.82
I will go ahead
00:27:35.85\00:27:37.29
and encourage you to give
it a try yourself take a slice.
00:27:37.32\00:27:40.36
Matter of fact if
you enjoy it so much,
00:27:40.39\00:27:42.02
go for another slice.
00:27:42.06\00:27:43.53
It's fine, you
already know what's in it,
00:27:43.56\00:27:45.89
it's healthy and
but here's the key,
00:27:45.93\00:27:48.30
don't tell anybody,
00:27:48.33\00:27:49.66
don't say I didn't
put this or put that.
00:27:49.70\00:27:51.03
Just put it out
and say, "Hey enjoy,
00:27:51.07\00:27:53.07
sweet potato pie for everybody."
00:27:53.10\00:27:54.44
And you'll be shocked,
00:27:54.47\00:27:55.80
